Chapter 550
Irene murmured, ’It might be them..." "No," Isaac assured her. "Sammy checked-it wasn't the people who confined you."
As for him...
Well, he had no shortage of rivals as enemies.
He was a businessman, after all—his profits occasionally meant taking from others.
While Irene had been away, he went on a frenzy as he expanded his business, destroying a long list of rivals in the process.
It would take a lot of time if they had to screen said list, and there would be nothing conclusive anytime soon.
Just having hope right now was more than ideal for them right now.
Sammy soon returned with news that Kim Sherwood had fled.
"I asked the admin, and they told me that she is on a break, but she definitely ran away. I'm sure she was prepared for this."
"Then start looking!" Irene urged Isaac.
He simply gave her hand a squeeze, and told Sammy, "I'm going back to Zidonia.ru return later."
Sammy understood that he had other arrangements to make. "I’ll be waiting."
He still needed Isaac's help, and it was why he was doing his best to support him however he could.
Still, just as Sammy closed the door behind him, Irene demanded, "Why are we going back to Zidonia? Why aren't you looking for that doctor? I'm not going anywhere if you don't find her and demand an answer!"
Isaac held her gaze calmly despite her agitation. He understood her agitation, and calmly explained, "She’s already gone for two days, and she could be anywhere-especially since she's prepared for this. We wont find her soon, but I'll hire a couple of private detectives to help US. I know it hurts, Irene, and I'm hurting too."
Irene was taken aback-indeed, Kim would not be so easily found if she planned this ahead of time.
She was getting ahead of herself.
"I..."
Isaac caressed her cheek and explained, "I've made the arrangements for us to return to Zidonia today. There's too much we don't know here, and Tommy is still there. He needs his parents."
"But..."
"Trust me, and give me time. I'll definitely get something," Isaac continued to assure her, understanding her worries.
Eventually, Irene nodded and rasped, "...Okay."
Once everything was arranged, Stephen Carr joined them on their returning flight to Zidonia.
He was pleased that she had returned in one piece, but also apologetic about his mistake.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know things would turn out like this..."
"It's in the past now." Irene was simply too worn out to press the issue.
Naturally, Stephen quickly held his tongue because she did not look so good.
