Just as he was on high alert, his phone rang.
It was Dulcie calling.
He hadnât returned to the Shaw family residence for a few days since Lucindaâs disappearance.
Despite Dulcieâs daily texts and calls, Kyson never responded once.
The phone rang incessantly until it eventually hung up on its own.
Kyson collected himself and resolved to find Lucinda.
However, Sally then called him.
Still ignoring the phone, Kyson listened as the in-car Bluetooth automatically played Sallyâs message.
âKyson, where have you been? You just got married.
How could you abandon your wife at home and be absent all day? Youâre an awful husbandâ¦â
Kyson was somewhat annoyed by the reprimand.
As he was about to press the Stop button, Sallyâs voice interrupted him, âDulcie is ill.
She had acute gastroenteritis last night and was in a lot of pain.
Ryder and I rushed her to the hospital for emergency treatment.
She hasnât been discharged yet.
Right now, sheâs receiving intravenous treatment in the hospital.
Kyson, donât you want to come see her?â
Dulcie was sick?
How did she fall ill at the Shawsâ?
Kyson remained silent, staring straight ahead, but he was deeply affected by Sallyâs news.
Sally sighed heavily, âKyson, I can hardly think of any excuse for you.
Youâre neglecting your wife while sheâs in the hospital.
You havenât come home or even responded to our calls.
Is there anything more important to you right now than your wifeâs health?â
Kyson gripped the steering wheel tightly and gently applied the brake.
The luxury car slowed down gradually but didnât come to a complete stop.
Kyson hesitated.
Nathan had gone to Hilldale to find Lucinda and apprehend the culprit.
Perhaps Kyson didnât need to go anymore, considering the information he got from the black market might be false.
But if the information was true, Kyson was truly tempted by the possibility of finding and getting Lucinda.
There had always been a demon in his heart, urging him to seize the opportunity with Lucinda.
Despite the small chance, he remained determined to give it a try.
Still undecided, Kyson took slow breaths, parked the car on the side of the road, and pondered deeply for an extended period.
