Lyxander’s plan wasn’t ense to be abandoned halfway. Despite the nervousness in her heart, her face was a ms of calm. “With so many of you watching me, how can I possibly play tricks?” 

Wild that you know that” 

The leader had just picked up the pen with his left hand when he suddenly paused. 

Lysander noticed that and asked, “Can I start speaking now?” 

“Hold on The leader suddenly started to think. “The police can do handwriting identification, right? If they ultimately determine that I wrote it, wouldn’t I end up in jail anyway?” 

After some thought, Lysander said, “Let me write it myself, then. Besides, they’ll recognize my handwring at a glance.” 

would save them the trouble of having to prove to the Guerra family that she was still alive. 

The leader’s heart leaped with joy. Figuring that Lysander wouldn’t be able to escape on her own, he handed her the pen and paper directly, then stood by and watched her write, ensuring she didn’t sneak in any clues 

In reality, such worries were entirely unnecessary, as Lysander couldn’t see outside no matter how hard she tried. Her gaze was constantly fixed on the four walls around her. Not to mention figuring out her exact location, she wasn’t even sure if she was still in Harborbrook. 

The only hope she had was pinned on this letter. 

She swiftly penned down the letter and handed it over to the leader. 

The leader gave it a once–over, confirmed there were no issues, neatly folded it, and handed it to his underling 

The errand runner was the same man as before, and with familiarity bred from repeated encounters, he left to deliver the ransom letter. 

Two hours later, Olivia returned with the results of the analysis on the substance found on the button. 

Josiah took the report handed over by Olivia and furrowed his brows. “Machine oil?” 

“Yes. We’ve checked. It’s indeed machine oil, and there are some metal fragments mixed in. They likely originate from a metal processing factory or perhaps a scrap yard.”

“Understood.”

Meanwhile, a doctor who had been summoned by Olivia earlier handed Josiah a glass of water. After accepting it, Josiah drained the glass in one gulp. 

The family doctor gently suggested to him, “Mr. Guerra, the sedative will take effect shortly. It can, to a certain extent, counteract the effects of other drugs in your system. However, your external injuries are quite severe. The bandaging is only a temporary solution to stop the bleeding. It would be best if you went to the hospital to get stitches.” 

The wound in the palm of his hand was quite deep, appearing particularly gruesome. Despite being wrapped in several layers of gauze, it was still seeping blood, severely limiting his movements. 

Taking a deep breath, Josiah asked, “Do you know how to stitch?” 

The family doctor paused for a moment before responding, “Of course.” 

Josiah nodded. “That’s good. Please tend to my wounds quickly.” 

“Huh?” The family doctor couldn’t help but question his own hearing. “Mr. Guerra, I only brought a simple medical kit with me. I can’t administer anesthesia.” 

The thought of threading a needle through flesh without even using an anesthetic was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine. 

Josiah himself was utterly nonchalant about it. “I know, but it doesn’t matter as long as I can get stitched up. I have important matters to attend to. I can’t afford to waste time in the hospital.” 

The family doctor had no choice but to grit his teeth and carry on. 

Once the wound was stitched up, Josiah was drenched in cold sweat from head to toe, his clothes clinging to his body. 

Olivia returned, handing over the newly received ransom letter. “Mr. Guerra, Mrs. Guerra should be safe for now.” 

With a slight tremble in his fingertips, Josiah took the letter. At a glance, he recognized Lysander’s handwriting. He then read the letter carefully. 

It read: Don’t hand over the money this time. Instead, find a way to buy us some time. Claim that the amount is too large and we need time to gather the money. Then, arrange for a vehicle. I’ll head over to the abandoned industrial zone in the east. 

“In the east?” Olivia had found dozens of warehouses, each in different directions. He hadn’t expected Josiah to directly determine the search direction. 

“Time is of the essence. I’ll explain everything when I get back, Have someone from the secretarial department stay at the company and prioritize finding the children. Their safety is paramount.” With that, Josiah carefully tucked the letter into his pocket. 

They had been married for, three years, and he and Lysander had missed out on much. Regardless of their willingness, many things had already become habits, deeply ingrained into their very marrow.
