Aunt Bruton waved her hand at Kason, urging him to go find someone.
Kason didn't waste any time and quickly left the house, making phone calls to inquire about the progress. But they still hadn't found Sandy. It was as if the car had evaporated after leaving the overpass; they couldn't locate it no matter how hard they tried. Kason made several calls, but the results were the same.
In frustration, Kason got into his car and dialed Brandon's number. When the call was picked up, Brandon's voice came through, "Bro?"
"How's it going over there? Haven't found Sandy yet?" Kason asked directly.
Brandon responded with an acknowledging sound, "She's safe for now, won't be any trouble."
"Do you know where she is?"
Brandon answered, "I don't know, but I know who she's with."
Kason inquired, "Who? Do you know this person?"
"Anthony."
Hearing the name Anthony, Kason felt a sense of familiarity but couldn't quite place it. Brandon didn't elaborate and chatted briefly before ending the call.
After hanging up, Brandon attempted to call Sandy again, but her phone remained switched off. With one hand on the steering wheel, Brandon dialed Zane's number.
The call connected after a while, but the voice on the other end wasn't Zane's-it was Yanis'. "Mr. Hawkins?"
Upon hearing Yanis' voice, Brandon hesitated for a moment before speaking in his usual tone, "Is Zane there?"
"He just got back from outside and is taking a shower. Do you need to talk to him?" Yanis asked.
Brandon responded with an acknowledging sound, "I need to ask him something."
At this point, Brandon wasn't ready to disclose the situation to Yanis.
"Do you want me to take the phone to the bathroom, so you can talk to him?" Yanis offered.
After a brief pause, Brandon replied, "No need. Let him finish his shower, and ask him to call me back."
Yanis acknowledged, "Sure, I'll have him call you back."
Brandon replied with a word of thanks before ending the call.
Just as he was about to put down the phone, it rang again.
"Did you find her?" Brandon asked immediately after picking up the call.
Berton's voice came through, "Yes, I've found her. I'm sending you the location on your phone."
Brandon acknowledged with a sound before hanging up. Berton quickly sent the location.
Brandon took a look and then drove toward the destination.
At that moment, on the outskirts of Viteto.
When Sandy opened her eyes, she felt disoriented. Her stomach churned, and it took a while for the indescribable nausea to subside.
As she attempted to sit up, the door was pushed open.
Sandy followed the movement and saw Anthony entering the room. She sat up straight and asked, "Where am I?"
Anthony approached and placed the porridge he was holding on the bedside table. Then he looked at Sandy and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Shaking her head, Sandy replied, "I'm okay."
Anthony motioned towards the bowl on the side. "Eat something. You haven't had anything for most of the day, and you're not alone now."
Hearing Anthony's words, Sandy hesitated for a moment, then raised her head to look at him. In a low voice, she asked, "Do you know any doctors?"
Anthony looked at Sandy. "Are you feeling unwell?"
That was Anthony's immediate response.
Sandy shook her head. "No, I want to have a procedure done."
She didn't explicitly mention what the procedure was about, but Anthony understood anyway. "You're having second thoughts?"
Sandy shook her head again. "I suddenly feel like being on my own is just fine."
Anthony looked at Sandy for a while before speaking, "What if there's a misunderstanding? Won't you regret it?"
"What's there to regret? Regret is the cheapest thing in the world."
Anthony was about to say something, but Sandy's voice interrupted him, "So, do you know anyone?"
Anthony fell silent for a few seconds. "Yes."
"In that case, could you help me out? I'll treat you to a meal later."
