Chapter: 2060
Once outside Katie's ward, Luciana encountered Raegan, who was anxiously waiting.
Raegan immediately grabbed Luciana's hand, her voice filled with urgency. "Mrs. Dixon, what did Katie tell you? Do you know where Janey is?"
Luciana remained silent, Katie's threats vivid in her mind.
As the seconds ticked by, Raegan grew increasingly worried. Janey had been missing for nearly two days. But there were still no leads on her whereabouts.
Even though the police had started investigating because Erick insisted, they hadn't found any clues yet.
Annis was suspected of taking Janey away, making the police treat it an acquaintance committing a crime. They focused on digging into Annis' social circle, and even Annis' daughter, Elin, was brought in for questioning.
Raegan couldn't accept the idea that Annis would kidnap Janey. To Annis, Janey was like her own granddaughter. But the police weren't convinced and were at a dead end for now.
Raegan was overwhelmed with despair. Luciana had to support Raegan to keep her from falling.
Through her tears, Raegan asked Luciana, "Mrs. Dixon, do you have any news about Janey? Please, tell me anything..."
Luciana paused, her voice shaky as she replied, I don't have any information...
Raegan found it hard to believe that Luciana didn't know anything.
Raegan cried out. "When she was younger, Janey showed signs of autism. Early intervention helped her, but a sudden change of environment might trigger a setback. She's your granddaughter. Please tell me, okay?"
Tears streamed down Luciana's face at Raegan's words, and her hands trembled. But she firmly pulled away from Raegan's grip. “I don't know anything, really!"
Luciana hesitated and then added, "Please, try not to cry here. Go home and wait for any news. You'll need to be strong for her."
With that, Luciana left abruptly, biting back her emotions.
Raegan collapsed on the ground, exhausted. She had been running on empty for too long, her body shaking uncontrollably and her face ghostly pale.
With her face buried in her hands, tears streamed down her cheeks.
She felt utterly lost, unsure of her next move. Raegan was certain that Katie's men had taken her daughter, yet every lead turned up empty. "I've failed as a mother..." she whispered to herself, despair washing over her.
Just then, Raegan noticed the guards usually stationed in front of Katie's ward were gone. She made a move to confront Katie, but was immediately blocked by the Glyn family's bodyguards, soon joined by those from the Dixon family.
Blocked from entering, Raegan stood there, puzzled about the sudden change.
