บท 123: I'll Take Care Of Her

At Henrietta's mansion.

She just finished eating lunch and getting out of the dining room when she met her son Drake in the living room. "Son, have you eaten lunch already?" she asked.

"I'm done eating lunch before I came here, Mother," Drake replied.

They settled on the sofa, facing each other.

"How's it going, son? No leads regarding Aurora's whereabouts?"

Drake's haggard face says it all. "Nothing so far..." he replied sadly, shaking his head. "How about you, Mother? Any progress with your investigation?" he asked forlornly.

Henrietta shook her head. "Nothing so far. After the beach and the kids playground, the bracelet brought me to an abandoned building that looks like a former hotel. Aurora wasn't there as well. It seemed the bracelet was manipulated to give me a false direction each time I tried to find Aurora's location," she said.

"I see... Who could it be?" Drake asked, his brows knitted together in confusion.
