She promptly reassured, “Stay at the hospital. I'll coordinate efforts to locate her."

The nursing worker expressed gratitude to Sylvia before ending the call.

Sylvia sighed, and then entered the conference room by pushing the door open.

Marcus presided over a general shareholder's meeting, with top Fowler Group executives such as Korbyn and Waylen present, alongside Rena, a five percent shareholder in the Fowler Group.

Amidst the intense quarrels among shareholders over the Livebop project, unanimous disagreement persisted regarding Marcus relocating for over a year.

The concern stemmed from the anticipated chaos within the Fowler Group during that period in his absence.

Undeterred, Marcus had firmly resolved to personally pursue the Livebop project. His task mow was to garner support from all shareholders, though the Fowler family, in particular, voiced the strongest opposition.

Approaching the age of 30, Marcus remained unmarried, prompting speculation about his intentions regarding marriage.

Despite external inquiries about his son's marital status, Waylen refrained from openly challenging Marcus’ stance. Outwardly, Waylen maintained a neutral demeanor, revealing his true sentiments only to Rena, who was privy to his thoughts.

In the midst of the meeting, Sylvia discreetly approached Marcus, whispering, "Mr. Fowler, Melissa left the hospital. Shall we dispatch someone to locate her, or would you prefer me to handle it?"

Marcus was taken aback.

Clearing his throat, he inquired sotto voce, “Why did she leave the hospital?"

Sylvia, instead of responding, maintained eye contact with him.

A realization dawned on Marcus.

His unwillingness to face Melissa prompted her to venture out in search of him. His emotions were complex, but ultimately, he declared coldly, “If she chose to leave, let her be."

Sylvia blinked, sensing Marcus' waning patience.

"You may leave," he instructed tersely.

Sylvia acknowledged it with a nod as she departed at a measured pace.

As the meeting room door gently closed behind her, she couldn't shake the notion that Melissa and Marcus had probably really reached a point of no return. While not exactly hard-hearted, Marcus appeared deeply disheartened.

Returning to her office, Sylvia engaged in work for a spell. Unable to remain still, she eventually ventured to the first-floor hall.
