If this blind date led to the right person, then marrying, having kids, and living a simple life might not be so terrible after all.
With that thought, Dawn finally loosened her grip on the worry.
Life didn’te with only one possible path.
She finished up her tasks and called Anna, only easing once she confirmed Anna was fine.
That afternoon, Ethan and Austin returned.
Dulce hadn’t seen Daddy for days, and she got so excited that she iled her arms and bounced in ce.
But very quickly, all her focus shifted to Austin. Her great–grandpa brought gifts, a kite that could soar in the sky.
The little girl dashed for the door, and the adults hurried after her.
Watching them walk out of the yard, Dawn felt a smile rise to her lips.
A body leaned in from behind, arms wrapping around her waist.
‘Honey, did you miss me?”
‘Oh … right.”
Dawn wasn’t in the mood for yfulness. She turned serious as she looked at him. “Anna has been going on blind dates. Every nan was chosen by her father. Help me look into their backgrounds. I want details, their friends, their habits, everything.”
<i>Huh</i><i>? </i>
than frowned. “She just came back and she is already on blind dates?”
Yeah.” Dawn nodded, her voice quiet. “I even think she shouldn’t have returned. But this time, Anna might really be getting narried.”
.ooking back from the end, everything seemed like destiny.
.ooking ahead from the present, it was nothing but choices.
The weather had turned colder these days. The night wind struck head on and made people shiver without thinking. From time to ime, dull thunder rolled, a storm on the way.
After two days of rest in Trifton, Ethan and Austin both threw themselves back into work.
Beneath the calm surface, trouble was building.
Sydney disappeared once again.
Dawn even felt a strange illusion, as if everything that happened in Northville was only a dream.
She stayed home every day with Sandra, caring for Dulce, and almost forgot that woman existed.

Until that afternoon, when Osbert suddenly called.
‘Bad news, Mr. Osborne! Something happened!”
One hour earlier.
Austin had just finished a meeting when reception received a call. A highly important client had arrived, all identity checks confirmed, and the staff went to inform Austin.
When Austin heard the name, he had no doubts. The person had indeed nned to visit, just without fixing a date.
Given the status involved, he went down personally to receive him.
The moment he stepped off the stairs, someone rushed out of nowhere and stabbed him.
When Dawn reached the hospital, he had just left the emergency room.
She looked at his pale face, her eyes instantly reddening. She asked in a low but steady voice, “Where is he?”
Connor replied respectfully, “He has been handed over to the police. For now, it looks simple. The man was a senior executive Mr. Osborne personally dismissed. He kept failing after that and held a grudge, so he acted.”
Dawn lifted a hand <i>to </i>her forehead and paced a few steps.
The exnation sounded reasonable, but….
Something felt wrong.
she forced down the unease and did not want Austin hearing any of it. “Let’s go back to the ward. Clear Mr. Osborne’s schedule. Recoveryes first.”
Time had shaped her <i>into </i>someone with natural authority, and Osbert answered without hesitation. “Yes.”
it the ward entrance, Dawn did <i>not </i>enter immediately.
She called Donald.
<i>‘</i>Drop what you’re doing and book the next regr flight <i>to </i>Trifton.”
They worked on a hired gun basis, but he was far too individualistic to be pushed by money alone, and he had his own way of alking to her.
‘What for?”
‘Juste. <i>Don’t </i>talk nonsense.”
“Then I’m noting.”
There was silence.
Dawn breathed out slowly and conceded. “Mr. MacTowerfall, I was <i>too </i>tense and lost my temper. I apologize.”
“Mm.”

She closed her eyes. “Come to Trifton and protect someone for me.”
Donald made a living doing this. He was a professional, sharper and more dangerous than an average bodyguard.
By six that evening, he arrived at the hospital.
He nced at the man lying in bed and let out a dry chuckle.
‘I thought you wanted me to protect your daughter. A grown man needs a babysitter now?”
Dawn resisted the urge to punch him. “Don’t push it. Just do the job.”

‘Oh.”
Donald pulled out a cigarette. Before he could light it, Dawn snatched it away.
‘I don’t know what the people behind this want. I don’t know where they are. I don’t know how many of them there are. With you nere, I can rx a little.”
Donald was older than her, broad shouldered, and when unshaven, he looked like a street thug.
Expression nk, he <i>took </i>the cigarette back but didn’t smoke it.
‘I really don’t know who you take after, trusting even the people who once kidnapped you.”
