"Then let's search! Search for her! Search every single one of them!" Drew wiped his tears fiercely, his eyes extremely red as if bleeding. "I'll inform Declan and have him send as many reinforcements as possible to Sentania!"

"I already informed Declan, although I really didn't want to," Asher said, barely smiling. He took a deep breath. "Right now, we need to stabilize the situation at home while also using every resource we have to search for Bella. Declan is already on his way to Sentania. He has the authority to mobilize part of his forces."

Justin stared at Asher, his dark eyes filled with anxiety and determination. "Declan holds a high position. If he takes action on his own, I fear it might draw criticism and affect his career."

"Career, status... What does any of that matter?" Drew's heart ached again, his eyes brimming with tears. "What could be more important than Bella? We'll leave tomorrow... No, we'll leave soon!" "Drew, calm down!" Ralph stepped forward, grabbing Drew's arm. He had always known his brother was impulsive, but he didn't expect him to be this impulsive.

"It's already pitch dark outside; it will only make the search more difficult! Making a move now would be pointless! Besides, Yvonne is still here. She's still weak, and you've finally reunited with her... Even if we need to go, you should stay tonight and spend time with her."

When Yvonne was mentioned, Drew fell silent, closing his eyes in guilt and frustration.

"Tomorrow morning, we'll split into three teams and search the southern sea's islands," Justin said, his jaw tight as he turned to Edward. "Edward, I also need you to use all the resources you have to search other areas for Bella's whereabouts. It's crucial to monitor the entire airspace over Sentania to see if any suspicious planes have flown over."

"Bella... She willingly walked into Christopher's trap for me." Edward's eyes turned red with pain and guilt. "Justin, don't worry. Even if it costs me everything, I will bring Bella back to you!"

...

In the cold, solemn stillness of the Presidential House at dawn, Yvonne finally managed to calm Camilla.

Under the guidance of a doctor, Yvonne gave Camilla some sleeping pills. Only then did the exhausted Camilla fall into a deep sleep.

Back in her room, Yvonne buried her head under the covers, quietly sobbing.
