After spending a considerable amount of ttrying to comfort Leyla, Eileen noticed how tired Leyla looked. With a gentle smile, she urged Leyla to return to her room and get srest. Bryan also hung up the phone and made his way toward the yard. Just then, the sound of a car approached, and the beam of headlights appeared.

"Mr. Aston, it's quite late. I'm surprised you call the way here," Eileen said.
Keith shook his head. "You went missing near the Vazquez family's cemetery. I've been searching for you all day there. When I heard you were back, I cstraight over. It wasn't a long drive." This suggested that he hadn't even gone hall day. As Eileen listened to him, she noticed that his clothes were wrinkled and he looked disheveled.
"What happened? Who took you? Did the kidnapper get caught?” Keith asked with palpable urgency.
Before Eileen could answer, Bryan spoke up. "It's because of sold grudges. The kidnapper has escaped. People are still chasing after him." Keith frowned in confusion. "How could that happen?

The important thing is that Eileen is back now," Bryan replied briefly.
"If you don't understand the kidnapper's true motives, how can you guarantee Eileen's safety? What if something like this happens again?" Keith turned to Leyla with a concerned look. Bryan replied briefly, "If you don't understand the kidnapper's true motives, how can you guarantee Eileen's safety? What if something like this happens again?" Keith turned to Leyla with a confused look. Unable to back her concern, he asked, "Have you not caught the kidnapper yet?"

It's so risky for you. How could you let him go just like that?" Leyla expressed her concern and frustration.
"Leyla, don't blEileen. She was in a dangerous situation. It makes sense that she made that deal," Keith said gently. "You did the right thing, Eileen. In a situation like that, your safety comes first. You had to agree to whatever the kidnapper asked.”
Leyla glanced over at Bryan. Should she direct her frustration at him then? After all he was the one who had n allowed the kidnapper to leave. Bryan replied calmly, "Your personal safety is what matters most."
He agreed with Keith and had no intention of offering further om explanations.
"It's getting late, and Eileen has been through so much these past couple of days. Why don't you get som srest for now? We can discuss things another day," Keith said, giving Eileen a comforting pat on the shoulder.
