Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 404

I didn't go home. Instead, I stayed close to Logan along with Hannah.

He had deployed a bunch of people in the pursuit to trace Catherine's whereabouts. It was like

searching for a needle in a haystack.

But it was baffling how a living, breathing person could just vanish without a trace. We couldn’t even

find her car!

I was beside myself with worry, but I dared not show it, afraid it might affect Logan's mood.

Logan seemed calm and collected on the surface, but he had become more reticent, the fury in his

eyes growing by the hour.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the scene seemed all too real. The Dawson family was there, all except

Jerome.

Jaylan was on the phone non-stop, and journalists were camped out everywhere.

He was like a caged beast, trapped in the hospital room. His expression was complicated; after all, the

stocks of Medsafe Liyah Inc. were plummeting at an alarming rate. This left Jaylan and Jesper on pins

and needles. Though they were physically at the hospital, their hearts were far from Hazel's bedside!

And I was no different. If Catherine was safe, I should be ecstatic since everything was going according

to my plan. With Medsafe Liyah Inc.'s stocks in freefall, I could soon wrap up my scheme, signaling that

everything I lost would soon return to my grasp.

But now, with Catherine missing and possibly in grave danger, even the sight of Medsafe Liyah Inc.'s

tumbling stocks couldn't bring me any joy.

Nothing mattered more than Catherine's life. If anything happened to her, I'd spend the rest of my life in

regret, with no room for happiness. Even if I gave up everything else, I needed Catherine to be alive.

Three hours later, Hazel was wheeled out of the emergency room. The doctors said she was out of

immediate danger, but her condition was far from promising. They advised us to prepare for the worst.

I knew what they were doing – baiting Jerome. It all hinged on his feelings for his mother. If his filial

piety was genuine, he would show up.

After Hazel was sent back to her room, Jaylan and Jesper only glanced in before breaking through the

throng of reporters and leaving the hospital, presumably heading back to Medsafe Liyah Inc.

Online chatter suggested that the shareholders of Medsafe Liyah Inc. were furious as hell.

By now, we had been back in Goldenvale Town for over four hours, meaning Catherine had been

missing for almost twenty hours.

We were all frantic, searching non-stop, yet so far, we hadn't even found her car, which was deeply

troubling.

We followed Logan to the Department of Transportation, repeatedly reviewing the surveillance footage

of the route Renata took when she left with Jaylan.

We saw Catherine's car following theirs in the footage. But strangely, her car kept following them right

up until Jaylan's vehicle arrived at the hotel they reserved earlier. We saw Jaylan and Renata exit their

car and enter the hotel, but Catherine's car never appeared.

Logan commanded with determination, "Rewind. Focus on Catherine's car only!"

He made a call, instructing someone to check if there was a back entrance to the hotel Jaylan had

gone to.

The answer came back quickly – there was indeed a back door!

I didn't offer any words of comfort, fearing it would distract him.

He ordered his men to check the hotel's back entrance for any footage of Jaylan and Renata leaving.

Dalton swiftly responded – they had already checked, and there was no record of Jaylan and Renata

leaving the hotel. They had left that morning at 7:40 am. Draмanovels.cоm

"You think they're in disguise?" Though Dalton blurted out the question, he was clearly taken aback.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
