She said, “I’ve inquired about it. The driver got stuck in a traffic jam while taking Edwin to kindergarten. When the car reached the kindergarten gate, the driver dropped Edwin off and left. Mark, I’ve never objected when you took Edwin to your place, as he is your son too. However… You can’t keep neglecting him for the sake of others.
He’s just a five-year-old child. He needs his father.”
Cecilia choked back sobs as she continued, “I don’t care where you are right now. Please come with me to find Edwin.”
Before hanging up, Mark called her name in a hoarse voice, “Cecilia!”
Cecilia stayed silent for two seconds and finally ended the call.

Mark, standing in the hospital corridor, felt a chilling sensation.
Earlier, when he had received the call from the villa, informing him that Laura couldn’t speak anymore, he asked the driver to take Edwin to kindergarten, but Edwin had refused.
Edwin clung to his father’s legs and silently begged…
Mark’s eyes welled up with tears as he raised his head.
At that moment, Peter approached, holding a test report.
“The issue might be serious. She…”
In a hushed tone, Mark told Peter, “You stay here.”
Peter was taken aback.
Mark suppressed his emotions and explained, “Edwin is missing.”
The test report in Peter’s hand slipped to the floor…
Edwin came from a prominent family.
Both the Fowler and Evans families had deployed all their connections to search for Edwin. However, after half a day, there was still no sign of him.
Waylen was at the police station, cooperating with the police.
Mark and Cecilia scoured all the places where Edwin might have gone.
As dusk fell, the situation grew even more dire.
Mark pulled over and bought a sandwich for Cecilia.
She had been answering numerous phone calls. She felt drained and slouched back in her seat with teary eyes.
Mark urged her, “I know you must be hungry. Please, try to eat something.”
She looked at him with cold, resentful eyes.
