?Chapter 608:
“Is… Is there anything else I can do for you?” Eileen grasped his hand from her forehead, embedding all her unspoken words and emotions into that single question.
She couldn’t bear the thought of him facing everything alone, and she couldn’t focus on her work with ease.
After a moment of thought, Bryan replied, “Investigate Travis. He studied medicine abroad. Find out where he is now.”
Among their acquaintances, Z was likely the only link to Lydia and Travis. Though Eileen hadn’t seen Z since Bryan’s ident, she knew where Z was. Z had sold the vi and purchased a three-bedroom apartment, living off her previous earnings in a somewhat idle manner.
Several times, Z had waited outside Eileen’s vi but left without a word as soon as she spotted Eileen. She had clearly been curious to see how miserable Eileen would be without Bryan. At the time, although Eileen appeared untroubled, she had been deeply distressed.
Thus, aside from desperately searching for Bryan, Eileen had focused on her work. She had anticipated that Z would try to provoke her, so she never gave her the opportunity.
“Go and find Raymond. He has uncovered something about Z. He can assist you,” Bryan said, seemingly intuiting Eileen’s thoughts.
Eileen didn’t linger. The longer she stayed, the harder it would be for her to leave. Bryan didn’t stop her either. Leaning against the window, he watched her exit the ward. As the door slowly shut, he saw Josue and Jacob quickly approach Eileen.
“That’s it?” Jacob asked. “Did you tell him you made me drunk and that there are things I didn’t confess until I drank too much?”
He wasn’t sure what he had revealed, but upon waking, he had suspected that Eileen had wanted to extract information from him.
However, Jacob didn’t understand the situation. Eileen wouldn’t inform Bryan that she knew everything, so she hadn’t mentioned getting Jacob drunk to him.

“Bryan asked me to search for Travis. Both of you should do that as well. If you hear anything, let me know immediately.” Eileen walked toward the elevator, pressing the button as she spoke. Before Josue and Jacob could ask anything further, she had already left.
Josue looked at Jacob and asked, “Why didn’t she cry?”
“If she cries, both of us might end up dead,” Jacob replied, patting Josue on the shoulder. “The stronger they appear, the longer we survive. If either of them breaks down…”
It was likely because Bryan was at his limit.
Jacob believed that, although Eileen hadn’t said anything about it, she likely held them responsible for concealing Bryan’s whereabouts earlier. Should the situation deteriorate, their rtionship with Eileen would suffer significantly.
“Eileen can’t be that insensitive,” Josue said.
Jacob responded, “Is it really about being sensible? People can’t always control their spontaneous emotions…”
When Eileen drove back to thepany, her eyes were still red, but her ck sunsses concealed this from everyone.
On the way, she had contacted Raymond, who had forwarded her all the details he had uncovered about Z. He had discovered the information before, but hadn’t revealed it because of Bryan’s incident.
Before Z had been adopted by the Dawson family, her life had been difficult. Her parents had favored their son over her. When Lydia adopted Z, she had explicitly stated in the adoption contract that Z would need to undergo a hysterectomy. To prevent Z’s family from causing further trouble, everything had been meticulously documented in writing.
