Suzy couldn’t shake a sense of unease, as if something terrible was about to happen.
She didn’t suspect Dylan, assuming instead that something had happened to Elliot or Diana.
“Send more people,” she instructed Allen.
“Boss, don’t stress yourself. Have you seen how pale you look? You should get some rest. I’ve got this covered.”
Suzy shot back, “It’s because you’re handling it that I’m worried.”
The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted them. “That’s not what I meant. I’m just afraid something’s happened to him.”
Allen wasn’t upset in the slightest. “Boss, I understand how you feel. Honestly, I’m just as worried. It’s my fault for not keeping a better eye on him and letting him sneak out.”
Along with worry, Allen carried a deep sense of guilt.
Last time at the hospital, Elliot went missing because of his carelessness.
Even though Elliot deliberately sent him away this time, Allen still felt responsible.
Suzy gave him a light pat on the shoulder. “Don’t overthink it. If he wanted to leave, there’s no way we could have stopped him. Let’s stop talking and focus on finding him.”
Just as Suzy was feeling completely at a loss, she received an anonymous call.
“I hear you’re looking for Elliot?”
“It’s you again!”
Suzy’s worst fear came true—Elliot had fallen into that woman’s hands. She gritted her teeth and said, “If you want my life, come take it directly. Why go after innocent people? Do you find this fun?”
“Relax,” the woman said with a chuckle. “I just heard Elliot went missing and thought I’d call to check in. How are you so sure I’m the one who took him?”
She laughed lightly, then added, “You’ve made plenty of enemies. Maybe it was someone else?”
“No one else would dare!”
“Oh, really?” The woman’s voice was dripping with mockery.
“Do you think they’re actually afraid of you? Suzy, sometimes you really overestimate yourself. Still, Elliot isn’t with me this time. The reason I’m calling isn’t entirely about him.”
The woman paused, letting the silence linger before continuing.
“I wanted to tell you… Diana misses you. Wouldn’t you like to come see her?”
"What game are you playing this time?" Suzy asked sharply, already suspecting the woman was using Diana as bait to lure her in.
"Now, is that any way to talk?" The woman’s voice was dripping with smugness. "Your sister-in-law misses you and asked me to give you a call.
“How could I refuse her request? I’m just being helpful. I’ve delivered the message—whether you come to see her is up to you."
