In Solana City, Tatiana stood alone outside the East Solana Police Bureau. She gritted her teeth and walked in.

"Are you here to make a report, miss?" asked a female officer.

Tatiana nodded vigorously. She asked softly, "May I know if Cyrus... I mean, Chief Cyrus is around?"

Cyrus had been busy for two days and two nights. He was sleeping soundly in the lounge room at the time.

The moment he found out that Tatiana was there to see him, he leaped to his feet and went out to meet her.

In the office, Tatiana and Cyrus sat facing each other. She interlocked her fingers and rubbed them together until her knuckles turned red.

Cyrus studied her carefully. He asked in a concerned voice, "You showed up unannounced. Did something happen, Taty?"

Tatiana was tender-hearted and timid. She had always been overshadowed by Alyssa ever since she was a child.

Despite being half-siblings, Cyrus was never biased. He always treated her the same as Alyssa. Each time he went on a work trip and came back with presents, he would give the same to both Alyssa and Tatiana.

As they grew older, they didn't get together as often. Plus, Tatiana was shyer and more introverted. Unlike Alyssa, she wouldn't initiate contact with her brothers. Thus, it might appear that they weren't close.

Even so, both Alyssa and Tatiana were his sisters. He paid equal attention to both of them.
