Chapter 1511


    Bianca halted, fixated on Chris. He appeared uneasy, isted in a corner, engrossed in his phone, and


    asionally relocating to make calls elsewhere.


    She quietly trailed him, faintly catching his hushed and anxious words.


    “Have you found her?”


    “Tell them not to worry… If the kidnappers are after money, they’ll definitely call!”


    Her heart raced. ‘Kidnappers? Who are they searching for? Is that Lena on the other end?’


    Suddenly, Toph called out, “Chris, what are you doing?”


    Bianca concealed herself as Toph dashed over in his usual carefree manner to usher Chris away.


    “My brother couldn’t find you anywhere. Why did youe here? Come eat!”


    As they proceeded, Chris and Toph coincidentally passed by Bianca. Their eyes locked, causing both


    of them to freeze.


    Bianca swiftly evaded his gaze and forced a greeting, “Chris…”


    “Eh, Bianca?” Toph inquired, much like Arya, “What are you doing here? My brother didn’t invite you,


    did he?”


    “You…”


    Bianca’s frustration grew, but Toph appeared unfazed by her expression and continued to pull Chris


    away to enjoy the festivities.


    Nheless, Chris began to grow suspicious. Why had Bianca suddenly appeared? She had never


    attended such events before, yet she conveniently showed up today when N was missing.


    Zuko and Lina emerged, holding little Persephone in their arms. Lina ced her in a walker, and she


    took her first tentative steps, eliciting cheers from everyone in the room.


    Bianca stood transfixed for a moment before slipping away quietly. She headed to the abandoned


    factory on the outskirts.


    By now, Drake had followed her instructions and driven the van there.


    Bianca saw Drake happily drinking at the factory’s entrance when she arrived.


    Enraged, she swung her bag at him. “Dickinson! How dare you deceive me?!”


    –


    Alexander heard themotion outside.


    N had regained consciousness. She surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings with fear and anxiety.


    Just as she was about to cry, Alexander covered her mouth.


    “Shh!” He gestured, pressing her little head against his chest and gently patting her back.


    Still in shock, N gazed up at Alexander, remembering she had seen him before.


    “Don’t cry or make a sound!” Alexander whispered to her. “I’ll figure out a way to get you out of here.”

    N timidly asked, “Do you have a n?”


    Alexander scratched his head, realizing he had no solid n. The factory had drafts from all directions,


    and Drake was guarding the only door. Forcing their way out wouldn’t work.


    However, they were on the outskirts, and he couldn’t recall the way back since a van had brought them


    there.


    “It’s… It’s okay!” He assured her, even though he wasn’t sure himself. “No matter what happens, I won’t


    leave you behind. I promise I’ll get you back to your mom!”


    N looked at him and nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.


    “Big brother…” she said meekly. “I’m hungry… Do you have any food?”
