"Kyle, this is an ident."


    In a fit of anger, Kyle eximed, "You''re aplete disaster, utterly useless!" He mmed the phone down and began pacing outside the ward, unable to bring himself to go in. Kyle realized he had made a mess of things. What should he do next?


    Alexander hadpleted his examination and returned. The recovery seemed to be going well, primarily focused on assessing the progress of Alexander''s pleural healing. Upon his return, Alexander found Quinn once again asleep on the sofa. This time, instead of waking Quinn, Alexander grabbed a cigarette and got ready to head out.


    As he opened the door, he was surprised to see Kyle standing there, appearing conflicted.


    When Alexander came out, Kyle was startled. "Mr. Kennedy..."


    After scrutinizing Kyle''s face for a moment, Alexander finally spoke in a cold voice. "Did they fail?"


    Kyle wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I didn''t notice Landon''s condition, and... two people got caught."


    As Kyle continued speaking, his confidence waned, and his voice trailed off towards the end.


    Expecting Alexander to explode in anger upon hearing the news, Kyle lowered his head, preparing himself for Alexander''s fiery reaction.


    But after waiting for what felt like an eternity, Alexander still didn''t speak. Instead, the sound of a lighter flicking open broke the silence. Kyle instinctively looked up.


    Leaning against the door and blowing smoke from his mouth, Alexander remarked casually, "Looks like he''s really hurt."


    With a chuckle, Alexander added, "Get prepared. We''ll be returning to Amber Bay in a few days."


    Kyle couldn''t help but wonder if he was hearing things or if he had simply misunderstood.


    So Kyle cautiously said again, "Two people were caught."


    Alexander nced at him, "Kyle if your ears aren''t working well, I suggest you change positions."


    Kyle choked back his emotions, his mouth twitching as he swiftly lowered his head. "I get it. I''ll take care of it immediately."


    Kyle refrained from asking any further questions and hastily departed the hospital to make preparations for their return to Amber Bay. Alexander lit a cigarette and turned back into the ward.


    Kyle informed Walter that they would be returning to Amber Bay the day after tomorrow.


    Walter didn''t say anything. Even though Alexander hadn''t found anything useful in Sylvadora, he hadn''t been idle.


    The most crucial lead was now broken, and there was nothing left to investigate. It wouldn''t be too bad to return to Amber Bay for some respite.


    The bodyguards here brought the captured people back to Landon''s room for him to handle.


    Landon nced at the two of them, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. He didn''t even bother asking who had sent them.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    He waved his hand. "Take them away."


    The bodyguardsplied and promptly escorted them out.


    Landon understood that Alexander was testing him, attempting to push him away. Despite wanting to appear unaffected, Landon knew he had to confront the situation.


    If he had avoided facing the threat at his doorstep, Alexander could have deduced that Landon was immobilized.

    On the third day of Christmas Day, Quinn and Alexander boarded a ne back to Amber Bay.


    General tearfully bid them farewell at the airport, a grown man weeping profusely, insisting that Alexander visit again.


    Despite the days of fear and trepidation, General found it thrilling.


    He had never experienced such excitement.


    Alexanderpletely disregarded General, who was boarding the ne with Quinn.


    Upon sitting down and ncing up, Quinn spotted Getty entering the ne from the front, causing an instant wave of nervousness to wash over him.


    Getty stopped in front of them, realizing that Alexander was avoiding eye contact, so she decided to sit at the back instead. Getty and Walter ended up seated together, and Walter''s smirk made Getty feel extremely uneasy. Getty grabbed a nket to cover herself, pretending to sleep.


    Although Getty really wanted to fall asleep. Out of sight, out of mind.
