Lucian hung up the phone straightaway.
In the hospital, Zayne was panicking and at a loss.
In the laboratory, Benny and Estella seemed to have sensed something was amiss. They quickly gripped Lucian's shirt and asked, “Daddy, what happened to Mommy?”
His eyes darkening, Lucian replied, “Nothing. That call was regarding work. Stay here with Mr. Queen. I have to go to the office.”
Jonathan, Benny, and Estella were filled with doubt when they heard that.
Jonathan, especially, could tell that something was wrong by the look on Lucian's face, and his heart sank.
Lucian passed Benny and Estella to him and walked out of the laboratory.
“Lucian!” Jonathan chased after Lucian.
Lucian was walking so fast that he reached the end of the corridor when Jonathan was just about to go after him.
Seeing that, Jonathan turned around and said to the kids, “Stay here. I have something to say to your daddy.”
With that, he dashed toward the corner of the corridor.
Lucian had obviously heard Jonathan, but he had no intention of stopping.
In desperation, Jonathan had no choice but to grab Lucian's arm. “Lucian, calm down. It's not the time to look for Jack yet!”
Lucian turned around to gaze at Jonathan with a grim expression and said calmly, “I'm going to the hospital to check things out. Help me keep an eye on the situation here. Call me if something comes up.”
Jonathan loosened his grip when he heard that. If he's only going to the hospital, that means...
“Unless there are no other options, you mustn't look for Jack! No one knows what he's plotting against you guys!” Jonathan reminded worriedly.
