?Chapter 555:
She quickly showed Eileen the phone. “It’s a video about someone who’s been in the hospital for a while. People are looking for this person’s rtives…”
Ruby’s exnation faded into the background as Eileen focused on the familiar face on the screen.
She grabbed the phone, paused the video, and stared at the blurred profile.
The man had a distinct jawline and a prominent nose.
It was clear that he would strike from the front.
Trying to contain her excitement, Eileen quickly called Raymond. “Find out where this video was filmed and book me a ticket there. I need to go as soon as possible.”
“Ms. Curtis, why do you suddenly want to go to the hospital?” Raymond asked, confused.
Eileen took a deep breath, reyed the video, and focused on the brief glimpse of the familiar profile.
She replied, “Bryan is there, waiting for me. I’m going to find him.”
Raymond was taken aback. He quickly arranged for someone to trace the location of the hospital in the video while briefing Josue and Jacob on the situation.
Josue and Jacob rushed to EB Group, arriving just as Eileen was preparing to leave for work.
Seeing them, Eileen said, “You’re here just in time. I need to head to Bayside City…”
“Eileen!” Josue interrupted before she could finish. “How many ces have you searched these past few months? Every time, it’s not Bryan. Just let it go. If he were still alive, he’d havee back by now. Why would he leave you searching for him like this?”
Pity was evident in Josue’s eyes as he spoke.

Eileen met his gaze, listening until he finished, then replied calmly, “The rumors before were baseless, but this is different. I saw him in the video. It has to be him.”
“The bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment,” Josue cautioned.
“Isn’t it worse to have no hope at all?” Eileen countered.
Before Josue could respond, Eileen waved him off. “I have to go. You cane with me if you want.”
Josue and Jacob exchanged nces, silently conceding.
But the moment they stepped out of the office, Josue wasted no time in sending a message.
“She’s found you.”
As Eileen made her way to Bayside City, her emotions were a whirlwind of anticipation and anxiety.
The thought of not fulfilling her long-held hopes gnawed at her.
But the recurring image of the familiar profile in her mind was unmistakable. It had to be him.
Exhaustion might have yed a part, or perhaps it was the emotional weight of her journey, but within the brief hour-and-a-half flight, Eileen drifted off to sleep.
