But Jaylen still slipped away.

It looked like he had planned his getaway.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have managed such a quick escape.

Catching him overseas was going to be tough.

"It's my fault," Alick admitted, feeling guilty.

Isaac inhaled deeply, then said, “This isn't your fault. Even though he's gone abroad, we need to find him."

“I'll get on it," Alick responded.

Isaac nodded in agreement.

When Forrest woke up, he noticed Hana, but Laura was nowhere in sight. His expression grew worried.

"Where's Laura?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.

“What's going on?" Hana let out a sigh. “Is she the only woman in the world for you? Why are you so fixated on her? Do you really want to risk everything for her?"

Forrest looked at his mother squarely and said, “Are you saying I got hurt because of Laura? No, Mom. It's not like that. I hurt myself. You shouldn't blame her."

Hana was visibly upset, convinced that Forrest was being unreasonable.

"I've tried apologizing to her. I wanted you two to reconcile, but she doesn't want to be with you. She's hung up on the past, demanding a price from me. So, what do you think?

Hana, growing impatient, replied, “What's the use of bringing this up over and over?"

“Forget everything else, and just be nice to Laura. She has her own mind and can sense our true feelings. Mom, if you care about me at all, please stop this talk. And if you're hoping I'll leave Laura, you should know better by now."

Hana bit her lip and started to cry, saying, "You're my son. How can I not be angry at the person who hurt you, especially now that you're injured? If you were to die, would I..."

“Forget it!" Forrest cut her off, getting up in anger. He winced from pulling his wound too hard and said through gritted teeth, “Haven't I already said it? I injured myself. Laura's not to blame.

Why do you keep accusing her? You're just..."
