章節 265: Racing Against Time: Rio's Urgent Quest for Rose

"What happened to her? Is she okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern as he looked at Nyla with a furrowed brow.

Although Rose had been distant, rude, and unfriendly during their initial meeting, Rio still felt a sense of responsibility towards her as she was the daughter of his second mother. He knew that his second mother had loved him like her own child, and he felt a duty to reciprocate that love by looking out for her beloved daughter.

Nyla shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper, "Your second mother hasn't returned from the Land of Asura since Rose went missing."

"Missing? What do you mean, missing? Since when?" " Rio's voice was filled with worry as he asked the girl.

Nyla's expression was grim as she replied, "We haven't seen or heard from Rose since she received her AI watch on her sixteenth birthday. She used it for the first time and never returned. It's been a few weeks, Rio."
