Zeke felt very guilty when he saw Hannah and Daniel. They trusted me to look after their daughter, but I've failed to

do so. I've let them down.

Although Zeke was trying his best to keep calm, Daniel still managed to sense something amiss.

Being a doctor, he was good at reading a person's expression.

“Daddy, where's Mommy? Why didn't she come back with you?” Nelly asked.

Zeke was slightly startled. “Well... She's working overtime.”

Nelly was disappointed. “Mommy is working overtime again? It's okay. At least you're here, Daddy.”

Daniel furrowed his brows. After taking a deep breath, he said, “Nelly, go and keep yourself entertained for a while,

okay? I need to talk to your daddy.”

“No! I want Daddy to carry me!” Nelly answered.

“Be good, Nelly. Your daddy must be tired after a long day's work. Go and keep yourself entertained, okay? I have

something important to tell your daddy,” Daniel uttered.

“Okay, then. Daddy, play with me later, okay?” Nelly asked.

“Okay!” Zeke kissed Nelly's forehead and put her down.

“Come with me, Zeke,” Daniel said.

“All right.” Zeke followed Daniel to the balcony.

Daniel then took out a cigarette and gave it to Zeke. “Zeke, answer me honestly, okay? Is Lacey in trouble?”

Zeke answered, “Dad, to be honest, Lacey... is indeed in trouble. She has been kidnapped.”

“What?” Daniel's hand trembled so hard that he almost dropped his cigarette.

In response, Zeke quickly said, “Don't worry, Dad. I won't let anything happen to Lacey! I promise you! Besides,

Lacey is extremely important to the enemy. They won't hurt her.”

Daniel nodded solemnly. “That's good, then.”

Although he didn't say much, one could definitely tell that he was heartbroken.

Seeing that, Zeke said, “I'm sorry, Dad. I've failed to look after Lacey and keep her safe. I've failed you guys. Beat

me and scold me, Dad. I deserve it.”

What a kid. Daniel forced a smile and patted Zeke's shoulder. “Zeke, you're the Great Marshal, and Lacey is your

wife. You guys will never be able to live peacefully. When Lacey chose to be with you, she was bound to face

dangers in life. That was her choice, so this is not your fault.”

Despite what Daniel said, Zeke was still feeling terrible.

“Time to eat!” Hannah shouted from the living room. “Hey! Dan! Did I not tell you not to smoke in the house? Why

don't you listen? Don't you know the harm of secondhand smoke to children? Nelly, come here! Stay away from

him!”

“We're coming!” Daniel put out his cigarette and said to Zeke, “Zeke, don't tell Hannah about this. I'm worried that

she might overthink.”

“Okay.”

The two of them put out their cigarettes and headed in casually.

While eating, Hannah suddenly asked, “Zeke, I forgot to ask you about Lacey. Where is she? Why didn't she come

home with you?”

Before Zeke could say anything, Daniel hurriedly answered, “Lacey is working overtime. A lot of things are going on

in the office.”

This girl... Hannah then grumbled, “Is she a workaholic or something? No matter how busy she is, she needs to eat!

She needs food to keep working. Don't you think so, Zeke? Here, Zeke. I cooked your favorite dish. Eat up!”

After the meal, Zeke put Nelly to sleep and left home to find Lacey.

Before leaving, though, he needed to make arrangements for the people at home.

Since Daniel and Hannah were getting on in years, it could be hard for them to take care of Nelly on their own.

Therefore, Zeke wanted to look for Dawn and ask her for help.

When he arrived at Linton Group, he saw Dawn frowning and looking concerned.
