At that time, on the overpass exit.
Brandon's face was gloomy as he stared at the parked cars by the side. His expression foretold a brewing storm.
Berton, who had been with Brandon for some time, had never seen him like this before. Brandon appeared both disheveled and fierce.
Berton glanced at the people standing to the side, then gathered his courage and took a couple of steps towards Brandon. "Mr. Hawkins, I've had people search again. I believe we'll have news soon."
After hearing Berton's words, Brandon neither responded nor said anything.
Seeing this, Berton hesitated to speak further.
Just then, Brandon's phone rang.
It was Maya calling.
Brandon adjusted his mood before answering, "Sis-in-law?"
Maya's voice came through the phone, "Have you found Sandy?"
Brandon's grip on the phone tightened slightly as he answered truthfully, "Not yet."
Maya sounded worried too, "I've informed your brother, and I asked him to have the people he's with help search as well. As for Mom... she might not be able to keep it a secret much longer."
Upon hearing this, Brandon's heart sank. "What's going on?"
"A little while ago, the Duncan family called. They said Olive isn't doing well. They want Mom to talk to you. I told them I'd call you instead." Maya was straightforward, briefly explaining the situation to Brandon.
Listening to Maya, Brandon's voice grew heavy. "Tell them I can't go, I have something important to deal with."
Maya was aware of the history between Brandon and Olive. She knew that Olive's departure had been a blow to Brandon, and even though they had a destined connection, their paths didn't converge in the end.
Maya had found their story a bit regrettable, considering their childhood connection and mutual understanding.
However, some emotions couldn't be sustained just because they were regrettable.
So, hearing Brandon's response, Maya didn't say much more. "Alright then, you focus on finding Sandy, and I'll call them back."
Brandon acknowledged her and thanked her before ending the call.
On the other side, after hanging up, Maya met Kason, who had just come out from inside.
Kason walked up to Maya and asked softly, "What's the situation?"
"He definitely won't go. Sandy hasn't been found yet, and he's already anxious. How could he have the mood to visit Olive?" Maya explained.
Kason furrowed his brows slightly after hearing Maya's words. "What's going on? If Sandy has something wrong, Mom is bound to be angry."
Maya sighed, thinking about the online news, and spoke softly, "Honestly, if I were Sandy, I'd be angry after seeing those news too."
Kason was about to say something when Maya cut in, "Don't think Sandy doesn't trust Brandon. She's pregnant, and it's easy for her to overthink things. Also, Brandon mentioned today that Sandy saw him at the hospital when he was taking Olive into the operating room."
Pausing briefly, Maya looked at Kason. "Imagine, if you're feeling unwell and you need me, but I'm at the hospital with my ex-boyfriend. What would you think?"
