"That''s true," Ss said, scratching his head. "It''s puzzling."


    "I''m not sure, but since Micah nned ahead, he should have it under control," Oliver replied.


    "What do you mean ''nned ahead"?" Raymond asked.


    "Well," Oliver said cautiously, "Micah''s luggage was already in the car. To avoid beingughed at by the James, Rn drove the car around the block beforeing back. I think Micah knew all along he''d be able to stay." Ss burst outughing. "That''s ssic Micah."


    "Micah''s got a lot of tricks up his sleeve," Raymond said, annoyed. "But you''re right. If he nned ahead, he must''ve considered everything."


    "Exactly. Don''t overthink it," Ss reassured him. "It''ste. Get some rest."


    Raymond sighed deeply. He was still worried, but after the incident with E, he started convincing himself to let go. Even though Micah was his grandson, he had to handle it objectively. "Alright, you can go now," Ss signaled with his eyes.


    Oliver bowed and left.


    Ss helped Raymond to bed andforted him, "They all have their own ideas. Micah''s more capable than you think. Stop overthinking."


    "How''s the investigation I asked you to do?" Raymond suddenly asked.


    Ss was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Micah and the James are both looking for Nick. They''ve sent a lot of people to search everywhere, but they haven''t found him yet."


    "We can''t let the James find Nick first," Raymond said, frowning. "If they did, she''s doomed. If Micah finds her first, there''s still hope."


    "I don''t think the James will let this go," Ss said, worried. "Nick caused Brenda''s death, kidnapped Noah, and almost killed Sadie. With that kind of hatred, they won''t let it go." Raymond fell silent, his brow furrowed with worry.


    "I know it''s tough for you. Nick is your daughter, and you don''t want to see her reach a dead end," Ss said earnestly. "But she hasmitted too many heinous acts and is nearly deranged. No matter how much you protect her, she may not avoid this fate."


    "I know," Raymond sighed deeply. "Every adult must be responsible for their actions. I just hope there can be a more lenient way, like handing her over to the police to face legal consequences. At least she can keep her life."


    "I understand," Ss nodded. "I hope Micah can find Nick first."


    "No, I need to talk to Micah," Raymond said, struggling to get up.


    "No, no, no," Ss quicklyforted him. "Even if you don''t say it, Micah understands. Do you really think Nick escaped so easily those times by chance? Micah doesn''t want to harm Nick either. From what I know, the evidence against Nick is insufficient. With a goodwyer, she might only get a few years."


    "I hope so, but I''m afraid the James won''t let relent," Raymond said, still worried. "I hope Sadie can be reasonable. After all, it was Amelia who attacked her and Brenda. Let Amelia pay for her crimes."


    "Sadie should understand. Remember, when Micah wanted to send E to the police for legal punishment, she didn''t oppose it?" Ss reassured. "I believe she won''t advocate for Nick''s death either." "Let''s hope so."
