Zane glanced at Lisa with a blank expression. "Just call the police."
But Lisa panicked, shaking her head frantically. "We can't call the police, Zane, we can't!"
"I'm not as capable as you think, I can't help you!" Zane said firmly.
Lisa grabbed Zane's trouser leg, pleading, "Zane, please, can't you help Jo? He's your cousin after all. Are you just going to watch him get into trouble?"
Zane's brows furrowed slightly, looking at Lisa's hand holding onto him. He said in a low voice, "Let go!"
Lisa hesitated as she looked at Zane for a while before reluctantly releasing her grip. "Zane, I'm begging you, save Jo, please."
Though Lisa let go, her tearful eyes continued to implore Zane.
Zane calmly observed Lisa kneeling on the ground and sternly said, "Get up first."
Lisa glanced at Zane before hesitantly standing up. "Zane..."
"I'll have someone look into it, but I can't promise anything," Zane replied.
Lisa was about to step forward to pull Zane, but he deftly avoided her. "Yanis needs to rest. Don't disturb her here. I'll contact you when I have any news."
Lisa's outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air. Despite feeling embarrassed, she nodded at Zane. "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you. I'm leaving now."
As she turned to leave, Lisa glanced at Yanis on the hospital bed and said softly, "Yanis, I'm sorry. Once Jo is back, I'll make him apologize and kneel before you."
Yanis heard Lisa's words but only raised her eyebrows slightly, choosing not to respond.
Perhaps due to Zane's evident displeasure, Lisa decided not to push further. She left the room, repeatedly urging Zane to save Jo.
After Lisa left, the hospital room was once again left with Zane and Yanis.
Yanis looked at Zane standing by the bedside and said softly, "You should have someone look for him. After all, he's Uncle Dylan's child."
Zane sat down by the bed and held Yanis's hand tightly. "I'll call Albi and have him send people to look for Jo. But those people she mentioned might be hard to find."
Yanis murmured, "I didn't expect her life to have been so difficult before."
Yanis didn't know Lisa before today; she hadn't even heard of her before. But now, hearing Lisa's story, she couldn't help but feel sympathy.
A woman pregnant in a foreign country, penniless and struggling to survive, it was truly not an easy journey.
Zane eventually made the call to Albi, instructing him to investigate the matter. Afterward, Zane hesitated but decided to call Dylan, informing him about what Lisa had said.
Dylan's first concern was naturally Jo's situation. "Zane, help me find the child. Regardless of anything else, the child is innocent, and he's a member of the Lawrence family."
After hearing Dylan's words, Zane furrowed his brows and replied, "I know. How is Aunt Rachel's condition now? Is she okay?"
Dylan responded, "She twisted her ankle, but she's fine."
After a brief exchange, Dylan asked about Yanis, "How is Yanis? Is she okay?"
Zane confirmed, "She's fine."
