Crises in Love novel Chapter 404

I didn't go home. Instead, I stayed close to Logan along with Hannah.

He had deployed a bunch of people in the pursuit to trace Catherine's whereabouts. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But it was baffling how a living, breathing person could just vanish without a trace. We couldn’t even find her car!

I was beside myself with worry, but I dared not show it, afraid it might affect Logan's mood.

Logan seemed calm and collected on the surface, but he had become more reticent, the fury in his eyes growing by the hour.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the scene seemed all too real. The Dawson family was there, all except Jerome.

Jaylan was on the phone non-stop, and journalists were camped out everywhere.

He was like a caged beast, trapped in the hospital room. His expression was complicated; after all, the stocks of Medsafe Liyah Inc. were plummeting at an alarming rate. This left Jaylan and Jesper on pins and needles. Though they were physically at the hospital, their hearts were far from Hazel's bedside!

And I was no different. If Catherine was safe, I should be ecstatic since everything was going according to my plan. With Medsafe Liyah Inc.'s stocks in freefall, I could soon wrap up my scheme, signaling that everything I lost would soon return to my grasp.

But now, with Catherine missing and possibly in grave danger, even the sight of Medsafe Liyah Inc.'s tumbling stocks couldn't bring me any joy.

Nothing mattered more than Catherine's life. If anything happened to her, I'd spend the rest of my life in regret, with no room for happiness. Even if I gave up everything else, I needed Catherine to be alive.

Three hours later, Hazel was wheeled out of the emergency room. The doctors said she was out of immediate danger, but her condition was far from promising. They advised us to prepare for the worst.

I knew what they were doing – baiting Jerome. It all hinged on his feelings for his mother. If his filial piety was genuine, he would show up.

After Hazel was sent back to her room, Jaylan and Jesper only glanced in before breaking through the throng of reporters and leaving the hospital, presumably heading back to Medsafe Liyah Inc.
