"We've already contacted the police in Sea City. It'll be a few hours before we get there. They'll keep an eye on

Alex's whereabouts, and once they've confirmed that he's innocent, we'll approach him immediately. Once we

obtain valid information, then we'll inform you first. Please don't worry."

Chief Royce's words did not manage to comfortmuch.

"What you're saying is that you're leading the team to Sea City to speak to him face to face?"

"That's right," Chief Royce replied with great certainty.

"Sure, I'll cwith you," | blurted out without hesitation.

The other party froze. "But Mrs. Grant, your health—"

"Don't worry about that. | know my body well. I'm more worried about my son now."

We finally had leads. How could I not go?

There was silence on the other end of the phone. He said, "I understand how you feel, Mrs. Grant. Your son is

missing and you're anxiously waiting for news. We totally understand that."

"But we've accepted the case, so this is our job. We're going to Sea City under official duties and can't allow the

victim's family to get involved when we're at work. This isn't negotiable, so please understand our

circumstances."

| must admit that Chief Royce was a truly responsible police officer. His answer had always been concise and

clear.

| knew what he meant by that. He was worried that | would get emotional and disrupt their questioning or even

make a private appointment with Alex and disrupt the police's plan.

Only | knew that | was not anxious enough to lose my sense of reason yet.

"I understand that you're worried, Chief Royce, but | won't get in your way. | just want to go to Sea City with you.

That's all.

"As you said earlier, it's unknown whether my child is alive or not right now. | can't stay here. | don't mind not

meeting Alex either, but please letcwith you. At least letsee and hear news about my child first

thing itself. Please also understand my feelings as a mother."

There was another round of silence on the other end of the phone. "We'll have a team meeting at eight in the

morning and confirm the action plan. I'll contact you then." "Sure."

Chief Royce had agreed.

"In consideration of your current health condition, | suggest you take tto get a doctor to perform an

examination for you. If you're not in good health, then please don't go. | promise you that I'll contact you

immediately once | have news."

"Sure, thanks for the concern. I'll take care of myself."

| knew what | was doing very well. Chief Royce said that they were having a meeting at eight in the morning, and

that was less than an hour from now. | had to pack up quickly and go to the police station earlier.

As soon as | opened the bathroom door, a tall and dark figure appeared at the entrance and startled me.

| realized it was Theo. "I'll cwith you."

| was initially curious as to when he started standing here, but now it seemed like he had overheard the whole

conversation.

"No, | can go by myself. Besides, Chief Royce said that it's not convenient for the victims' family to be around

when they're on official duties."

"Aren't you the same? If you can go, then | can accompany you."

Theo's voice was deep and low. | could tell that he was not fully awake yet but was already starting to behave in «

an annoying manner.
