Chapter 619:
While she wasnât sure why Bryan wanted to find Travis, she was certain it wasnât for revenge.
After some time, Travis sent another message: âIâll give you an address. Meet me there later.â
âAlright,â Eileen responded.
She then rescheduled the meeting for the following day, gathered her bag and coat, and left the company.
Shortly after, Travis sent her the locationâit was in a remote suburb, several hoursâ drive away.
The destination was a coffee shop, typically quiet with few patrons, and almost deserted in the evening.
As Eileen walked into the coffee shop, the rich aroma of coffee filled the air. A waiter approached her immediately.
âGood evening, are you Miss Curtis?â the waiter asked.
âPardon me?â Eileen halted and frowned, confused.
âMiss Curtis, Mr. Dawson has reserved a room for you on the second floor. Allow me to escort you,â the waiter offered, trying to guide her upstairs.
Eileen hesitated. Had Travis realized that she had been the one texting him?
âMiss Curtis, Mr. Dawson instructed me to inform you that if you chose not to ascend, I should tell you that he is not here but has left something for you,â the waiter added, offering a reassuring smile.
Another waiter approached and spoke, âPlease donât worry, Miss Curtis. Our establishmentâs priority is to serve, not to cause harm. If Mr. Dawson had ill intentions, we would not tolerate them.â

Hearing this, the waiter promptly went upstairs to retrieve the small box for her.
The box was crafted with exquisite detail and secured with a password lock.
Eileen gently shook it, sensing liquid sloshing inside.
âThis box is secured with a six-digit password,â the waiter explained. âMr. Dawson asked that we remind you to handle it carefully. You have three attempts to crack the code. After the third incorrect attempt, the box will reset automatically.â
Eileen examined the box closely. Its plain appearance belied the delicate contents insideâshe couldnât afford to break it.
After a moment of thought, Eileen thanked the waiter, left the shop, and drove off in her car.
Upon arriving at the hospital with Gabriela, Eileen headed to find Josue instead of going directly to the ward.
Josueâs face lit up at the sight of Gabriela. âHow about you look after Bryan tonight, and Iâll take care of your daughter?â he suggested.
âQuit daydreaming.â With her hands tucked into her pockets, Eileen allowed Josue to take Gabriela from her arms and asked, âWhy is Bryan looking for Travis? What does he want from him?â
Josue paused before answering. âThe drug created in Coenâs lab was a joint effort involving several people. While weâve identified most of the drugâs components from those apprehended, one key component is still unaccounted for.â
