After encountering the name ''Elizabeth'' a few times, it always struck a familiar chord, but hearing it didn''t elicit the same feeling.


    Now, I was certain that the name on those nkets was indeed ''Elizabeth''. Both of the small nkets had ''Elizabeth'' embroidered on their corners!" Initially, Tarquin was shocked, then his expression turned grave.


    The person who left Elysia and her son in the mountains had to be the same one who took Elijah and his daughter!


    Keith!


    So, it must''ve been Keith who wrapped up those nkets!


    But why would the nkets bear their mother''s name?


    As Tarquin pondered, a tightness seized his heart. Keith, connected to their mother!


    The portrait Keith drew of the beautiful woman with no eyes, was that his mother?!


    It took Tarquin several moments to snap back to reality,


    "Elysia, you''ve provided a monumental clue. Rest up and listen to me, I''ll handle our daughter''s situation. Trust me, I''ll find her!" After saying this, he kissed Elysia''s forehead firmly, urging her to lie down, and summoned Evan and Emmett to stay by her side. He and the brothers, Elliot and Elijah, retreated back to the study.


    While booting up theputer, Tarquin ryed this new lead to Elliot and Elijah.


    "Today''s focus isn''t Keith, but your grandmother. Keith has ties to your grandma!"


    Keith had obscured his identity, but Elizabeth''s was not a secret.


    Following the trail of Elizabeth, they could unravel Keith''s identity and the whole saga between them!


    No sooner had theputer turned on than Elijah eximed, "Dad, move over, let me do this!"


    Elijah took the helm, his small fingers tapping away at the keyboard with a speed that distracted Tarquin for a moment!


    He knew Elliot was aputer whiz, but Elijah too...


    It seemed the Bradford familycked this gene!


    Where did these kids get it from?


    Tarquin briefly entertained the thought but quickly refocused on Keith and Elizabeth.


    He dialed Axel,


    "Our daughter with Elysia is indeed in Keith''s hands. Rally everyone, we need to find her! And keep a close eye on Keith! Any movement, I want to know immediately!"


    Soon, the brothers hadpiled aprehensive dossier on Elizabeth.


    The information was extensive, covering her life from childhood to adulthood.


    However, among those who had interacted with her, there was no one named Keith!


    Tarquin wasn''t surprised, "He must''ve used a pseudonym. Keith''s probably not his real name. Look for any suspects."


    Tarquin and Elliot started to meticulouslyb through Elizabeth''s biography.


    Elijah continued to gather information on people rted to Elizabeth.


    They left no stone unturned in their search, determined to uncover Keith''s history.


    To know your enemy as yourself is to be victorious in a hundred battles. Understanding Keith''s identity would make it easier to confront him. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, they came up empty-handed.


    "Could we be barking up the wrong tree? Maybe the nket mom mentioned was just a coincidence?" Elliot spected.


    With furrowed brows, Tarquin shook his head.


    Though Keith''s motives were unclear, the fact that he used the ''Elizabeth'' nkets was proof enough of a significant connection to their mother. And it was a deep connection at that!


    This was also corroborated by Keith''s sketch, which underscored the importance of their mother in his heart. After a moment of contemtion, Tarquin stepped out onto the balcony and made a call to a military bigwig, "Soren, do you have a moment? I''d like to discuss something about my mother with you."
