Daniel missed everything about Empire City, including Abby.

"Now, tell Mom, have you had your lunch yet?"

Daniel calmed down and obediently answered the question.

Brittany, relieved to hear her son was well, worried about Yuri's health, planning to visit him in the hospital soon.

Eltham watched Brittany closely, the tenderness she showed when talking to Daniel made him irresistibly drawn to her.

Ten minutes passed.

He reluctantly thought about interrupting their call.

But eventually, he came back to reality and tapped on the desk, "Time's up."

Brittany felt a tinge of regret.

"Daniel Salter, take good care of yourself, Mom will be back soon, alright?"

Daniel obediently promised, "Mom, I'll take good care of myself, and you should too."

After hanging up, Daniel shook off his previous disappointment, put on his shoes, ran downstairs, and found the butler, "I need to go to the hospital, to see Grandpa. Mom has a message for him." The butler, upon hearing the lady of the house had called, made no delay.

Together, they rushed to the hospital.
