The phone rang again.
Elara Don was startled, almost jumping up.
She glanced down and saw it was Cole Hawke calling.
She composed herself and answered.
"Senior."
"Elly, are you sure you won't leave with the two kids? If you change your mind, I'm right downstairs at your complex."
Upon hearing this, Elara Don looked at her two sons sitting on the couch, eagerly watching her.
She took a deep breath and shook her head.
"No, avoiding isn't the solution. Let's see Damon's attitude first."
After the news spread, Cole Hawke called her immediately.
He told her he had already taken down the news.
And asked if she needed help, if she wanted him to arrange for her to leave Sea City with the two kids.
She was really flustered at the time, hadn't got the situation clear.
But she refused nonetheless.
She can't go anywhere with the kids, having no one to rely on.
Besides, with Damon's power, can she really escape?
So rather than changing, she might as well see what he plans to do.
