NovelEnglishChapter 690: However, recently, Raymond had been unable to get in touch with Bryan and was hesitant to inquire about what could have happened.
Even after such a significant event, Bryan was nowhere to be seen, leaving Eileen to handle the situation on her own. This compelled Raymond to finally voice his concerns.
"Bryan has been given the antidote and is still in the recovery phase. I'm not certain how long his recuperation will take," Eileen responded, unable to voice her doubts about whether Bryan would ever wake up.

"Zelda gavethis," he explained. "She found it in Mr. Dawson's room after he left the village." Eileen opened the bag to discover several intricately carved wooden figurines, each with distinctly flat edges. There were a few cartoon characters along with ssmall animals.
One was distinctly darker than the rest; it was two people together.
Bryan had once captured a photograph of Eileen and Gabriela in a similar pose. The figurine showed Eileen cradling Gabriela, her head bowed, a gentle smile on her face.
Eileen touched the figurine with her fingertips, as though she could sense the comfort Bryan had drawn from it during his extended stay in the small village.
She started to cry, her tears clouding her vision.
"Ms. Curtis, someone is sabotaging the project from behind the scenes. I've initiated an investigation and will update you as soon as possible. Please take stto rest," Raymond noticed Eileen's distress.
Taking a deep breath, Eileen dabbed her eyes with a tissue. Once composed, she declared, "I anticipate they'll act soon. Alert the public relations team to implement the emergency protocols, ensure all innocents involved are reassured, and seize every chance to catch the traitor." She then stood up, putting all the figurines back into the bag. "I'll go to the hospital." She just couldn't stay away from the hospital for long. She had told Josue and the others to encourage them to restheir everyday lives.

According to the caregiver, Josue and Jacob had spent over an hour in the ward, sitting silently without engaging in any conversation or activity, before departing.
Eileen settled into a chair, methodically pulling out each figurine from the bag and arranging them on the table.
Then, she carefully placed the figurine representing herself and e Gabriela into Bryan's hand.
"The wood feels cold," she murmured. "You should wake up and hugand Gabriela instead.”
She adjusted Bryan's grip on the figurine, ensuring his hand wasn't too close to the edge of the bed.
