James remembered that Mirabe shouldn''t have boarded her flight yet. When his call went unanswered, a slight frown creased his forehead, but he didn''t think much of it, assuming she had her phone on silent and missed the call.


    So, he didn''t try calling again.


    After a moment of thought, James said to Wyatt, "Could you pick up Mirabe from the airportter? I need to head to the hospital to check on Catherine first."


    Wyatt nodded, understanding the situation with the unanswered call, “Sure, I''ll head straight there once I''ve picked up Ms. Mirabe.”


    "Alright." James boarded his flight with a heavy heart, hoping against hope that Catherine could hold on a little longer.


    At least... until Mirabe returned.

    Meanwhile, As still hadn''t found Mirabe. It was as if she had vanished into thin air. Despite close monitoring and searching at every airport entrance and exit, there was no clue to be found.


    Half an hourter, As withdrew half of his people from the airport.


    Because after half an hour of searching with no sign of her, it meant only one possibility - she was no longer there.


    Indeed, Santos had managed to whisk Mirabe away from the airport without As noticing, striding confidently out.


    After leaving the airport, he didn''t linger in Riverdale but instead headed straight for a nearby city''s airport.


    Now being part of the Davis family, Cian needed to move quietly and cautiously to bring the person back to the base without raising suspicion.


    Once back at the base, even if the Davis family traced it back to him, they would be unable to do anything about it.


    After a three-hour drive, they finally arrived at the nearby city''s airport.


    Before getting out of the car, Santos took out a small bottle of liquid and


    al Silicone mask, recing the


    one on his face before proceeding into the airport with Mirabe.


    Since this airport wasn''t an international one, they needed to fly to another city to catch a connecting flight.


    Although it was more troublesome, it was the safest option.


    Their passage through the airport was already arranged, with Santos using staff corridors and avoiding cameras, leaving no trace behind.


    Soon, Santos''s men ced Mirabe in a staff rest room at the airport and then stood guard outside.


    Checking the time, Santos noted there was a bit over an hour until their flight.


    He nced at Mirabe, who wasid in a corner. To be cautious, he pulled over


    his small suitcase and took out a syringe and vial.


    After drawing the liquid into the syringe, Santos approached Mirabe and injected the substance into her body.


    Only after doing this did he finally rx, considering it necessary to be extra cautious against Cian.


    Santos then moved to the only bed in the rest room, where another person was lying - Paul.


    With his hands behind his back, Santos pondered for a moment before using acupuncture needles on specific points on Paul''s head Soon after he withdrew the needles, Paul, who had been unconscious, slowly came to.  s?novel


    However, even awake, Paul couldn''t muster any strength.


    Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling above, Paul thought for a moment he had died until he heard Santos''s voice, gradually bringing his scattered thoughts back to reality.


    "Do you know whom I''ve found?" Santos pulled a chair closer, his tone light, betraying his good mood.


    Paul, having been unconscious for a long time, looked pale. He turned to Santos, unable to utter a single word for a long while.


    Seeing this, Santos lifted his chin


    slightly, his gaze and gestures pointing towards Mirabe, who was leaning against the corner walf. His voice was airy, "There, the person you all risked your lives to save."
