Chapter 1692 Michelle was furious when she entered the room.
She might have lost her temper as she made the phone call.
However, her eyes turned red when she laid eyes on her son.
"My baby! Oh, how much you've suffered!"
She burst into tears and hugged him, distressed.
After knowing that the iron chains were to protect Austin and not harm him, she dared not touch them anymore.
Instead, she hugged him over the chain.
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? I'll make sfood for you.
Is it cold? I've called someone..."
"If you're so worried, bring him hwith you."
Dominic was already uncomfortable and beceven more annoyed when he heard her continuous rambling.
Michelle immediately kept quiet.
With a nonchalant smile on Daniel's face, he turned to look at Elijah.
"How is it?"
"We've called the police! The police initially wanted Austin to make a statement, but I've already explained his current situation, so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey've pushed back the statement collection.
As for the Moore family, I've already sent someone to watch them.
I'll drop by personally later on."
Although Elijah rarely worked on the weekends, today was an exception.
After such a big incident happened to his son, he could no longer sit back and relax.
Back in the day, the Fike family's presence in Operose was founded on their family businesses.
Although things had fizzled out, they still had quite a nfor themselves.
On top of that, because they had a miracle doctor within their family, the Fikes still had their reputation among traditional medicine
practitioners, helping to raise their prestige status.
Although businesses had been reclining for the past two years, they were still profiting.
Elijah had no dreams of taking the family business to a higher level.
He just couldn't let people bully his family.
"IT see."
Daniel nodded.
Dominic seemed to have no comment on this.
He never liked to be a part of these dogfights.
Although he had dealt with all kinds of elite officials and dignitaries during his practice, he had never been a part of it.
He was disgusted with the intrigues that went on inside.
On top of that, Elijah was taking charge right now.
There was no need for Dominic to intervene.
"Shall we..."
Elijah paused and glanced at his father.
Daniel coughed lightly.
"Since we've already seen Austin and know what's happening, let's go back.
We'll let your Uncle Dom tend to his things."
This was what Elijah was trying to imply as he nodded accordingly.
"We'll get going first, Uncle Dom.
We'll leave Austin with you.
Thank you for your help!"

Then he called out to Michelle, "Let's go!"
However, she was reluctant.
"Can't we stay here a little longer? | haven't seen my son in such a long time.
| want to stay with him a while more."
If it were possible, she would want to live here so she could cater to Austin.
In recent days, she had been blaming herself.
She wondered why she did not realize something was wrong and why she did not call him more.
Instead, she assumed he was busy with work and did not bother him much.
If she had cared more, maybe nothing would have happened to him.
Perhaps he wouldn't have suffered so much if she had found him earlier.
In the past, Austin had always been an energetic and handsyoung man.
Now, his face was sunken, and his muscles seemed to have shrunk.
His hollowed face and big frformed a strong contrast, especially because his pale face gave him a strange look.
"Let's go.
Don't forget what you have to do!"
Elijah called out in a deep voice.
