Chapter 1069:
He had identified several suspicious areas around the spot where Eileenâs signal vanished. Any of these locations could be where she was either kidnapped or had an accident.
The thought of Eileen being in danger weighed heavily on him. He could only stay composed and issue orders by pushing down the panic threatening to overwhelm him.
âSpread out and search for her systematically. We have to find her within a day,â Bryan said.
After days of meticulous planning, he was ready to act today, his eyes filled with unwavering resolve.
From inside the room, Gabrielaâs small voice called out, âMommyâ¦â
Standing barefoot on the floor, Gabriela clutched the toy Eileen had bought for her. Hearing the noise, Leyla rushed over and picked her up.
Both Leyla and Gabriela turned their eyes toward Bryan, who was already heading for the door. Bryanâs body went stiff. He turned back to look at them for a few seconds before approaching.
Gently tying up Gabrielaâs tangled hair, he said, âGabriela, be a good girl and listen to your great-grandma. I promise Iâll bring your mommy back to you.â
âOkay,â Gabriela agreed, not fully understanding what was happening, but the unease she had felt over the past couple of days had left her in a sour mood. Her usual smile was absent, and the light in her large eyes had dimmed.
âLeyla, please look after Gabriela. Bring Eileen back within a day,â Bryan assured Leyla with confidence. Leylaâs eyes reddened, and she nodded. âAlright, I believe you.â

Raymond, anxiety evident in his voice, asked, âMr. Dawson, where should we start the search?â
âLetâs go to the city,â Bryan replied. Then, he got inside the car and headed directly toward the city.
In the faint light, Eileen caught the subtle scent of incense lingering in the air. Her eyes were covered, making it impossible for her to see her surroundings. All she could make out were the occasional clicks of a lighter from somewhere outside. The roar of a car engine, followed by the screech of brakes, echoed outside. Eileen realized someone was coming.
She turned her head, held her breath, and listened intently to the footsteps, which then stopped at the door.
The clicking of the lighter ceased, and Eileen could hear two voices speaking in hushed tones.
âIâll take care of the rest. Iâll tell you toâ¦â
âI didnât come all this way just to kill her.â
âThen why did you talk about working with me?â The man who had driven there sounded angry.
The one who had been playing with the lighter replied coolly, âBecause I wanted to use you. Canât you see that?â
