Everyone in the car was shocked.
Bianca approached cautiously, spotting dried blood beneath Drake's head. She placed her hand under his nose and detected a faint breath.
Her hand trembled, and her eyes glinted ruthlessly as she raised her foot and kicked Drake.
"Get up!" she demanded.
Lina and Zuko joined her, discovering that the factory was now empty.
"Where's the child?" Lina asked.
"Ow..." Drake groaned on the ground and struggled to get up. "Help, help... This brat!"
"Drake Dickinson!" Bianca exclaimed, exasperated.
After all, she had confidently declared that she knew Nala's whereabouts. She had accused Drake and Alexander of conspiring with Lena to kidnap her.
With Drake injured and the two children missing, this was a complete deviation from the plan she had devised to implicate Lena!
Seeing Bianca clearly, Drake was about to ask for help when he caught her signaling him with her eyes. He froze, realizing that Zuko and Lina were present.
He remembered Bianca's warning—they were supposed to pretend they didn't know each other in front of outsiders. He cowered and remained silent.
Zuko stepped forward and asked, "You're Drake Dickinson?"
Drake stammered, unable to meet his gaze.
"You're Lena's adoptive father?" Zuko persisted. "Did you and your son collaborate to kidnap the Chriss child?"
