Tobias was also worried about Kieran, but when he saw how distraught his wife was, he had to force himself to stay calm. He came forward to comfort her.
“You need to calm down, Stef. The doctor said that you can’t be overwhelmed right now.” He pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back.
Stefania knew she couldn’t be too emotional right now, so she tried her best to calm down. When she finally composed herself a little, she turned back to Tessa.
Even without her saying anything, Tessa knew what she was about to ask. The latter bit her lip and said with some difficulty, “Nicholas said they haven’t found Kieran yet.”
As soon as those words rang out, Stefania began sobbing wretchedly. “It’s been so long, and they still haven’t found him! Something must’ve happened to him.”
Stefania leaned against Tobias and wept.
Tessa quickly tried to console her. “Mom, even though they haven’t found anything yet, it doesn’t mean that something bad has happened. There’s nothing to confirm that the worst has happened, and no news is good
news. Perhaps a passing boat rescued Kieran. We can’t know for sure.” “Don’t cry, Grandma. Uncle Kieran will be fine.” Gregory tried to reassure Stefania as well.
Tobias’ eyes grew red, but he agreed with Tessa. He wiped the tears off Stefania’s face and said, “Tessa’s right. No news is good news. With the whole family consoling Stefania, she finally calmed down.
Just then, Tobias’ phone started ringing with a call from lan. “Master Tobias, Old Master Sawyer had a heart attack. He’s being sent to the hospital right now. Please come over!”
“Got it. I’ll be right there.”
Tobias’ expression stiffened. After ending the call, he quickly got up and said, “Tessa, Dad found out about Kieran’s accident and he got a heart attack. I need to rush to the hospital now. You stay home to look after your mother.”
After instructing Tessa, he told the butler to arrange his ride to the hospital. The Sawyers were in turmoil that night. The news of Kieran’s accident and him being missing went viral online.
Due to this, Sawyer Group’s shares were affected the next day. At the hospital, Remus was feeling better after receiving treatment last night, but he still looked ill.
He was fretful after watching the morning news that had a segment regarding Kieran who was still missing and the crisis that befell the Sawyer Group.
“You don’t need to stay here with me. I’m fine now. Go back to the company and help Nicholas deal with work so that he can focus on finding Kieran, Remus instructed Tobias.
Tobias was hesitant. “The senior executives can handle things at Sawyer Group. I should stay here with you.”
“I already said that you don’t have to. Ian is here with me. Hurry up and head over to the company,” Remus urged once more. Tobias had no choice but to leave.
Soon after he left, Adam and Joseph showed up at Remus’ ward, claiming that they were there to visit Remus.
“Remus, we heard that Kieran crashed his car into the river and is currently missing, so we rushed over at once. We didn’t expect you to fall sick as well. Are you all right?”
“Kieran has always been a smart boy. I’m sure he’s fine. You don’t have to worry about him.” The two of them pretended to express their concern.
lan kept eyeing them warily. All along, he had a feeling that they were people who would only do something if they stood to benefit from it.
Thus, when he saw them appearing now, he had a feeling that they were up to something. On the other hand, Remus wasn’t surprised by his brothers’ arrival.
He eyed them coolly and didn’t respond. However, Adam and Joseph didn’t mind. They assumed he was simply deeply affected by the news of Kieran’s accident.
They immediately offered their help. “It’s been a whole night and Nicholas hasn’t found anything yet. Why don’t I send some people over to help with the search?”
