Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"Got it! Bro, I have to go now!"

Edgar had no interest in the drama surrounding Galen and the Harrison family. As soon as he hung up, Sherilyn emerged from the back room, looking even more exhausted than before. "Sherilyn!"

Edgar was grateful for the timing of the call. No amount of comforting words could surpass the news he was about to deliver.

"My brother just called. There's news about Galen!"

"Really?"

Sherilyn paused, disbelief etched on her face. "Where... where is he?"

"In Ivy Hollow!"

"Ivy Hollow?"

Sherilyn blinked, then realization hit her. "That's where my grandmother's place is!"

"Seems like this lead is reliable!"

"Yeah!" Sherilyn nodded vigorously. "How could I not have thought of it? Malvina must have taken Galen there..."

With that, she turned to head back to her room.

"Sherilyn, what are you doing?"

Confused, she looked back. "I'm going to change. We have to get to Ivy Hollow, right?"

"No need!"

Edgar grabbed her arm, shaking his head. "I'll go. You stay here with Jenna. I promise I'll bring Galen back safe and sound." "But..."

"No buts." Edgar frowned, attempting to provoke her. "Don't you trust me?"

"Of course, I do!"

He had promised to help her last night, and now, by morning, there was already news. How could she not trust him? "Then it's settled."

Edgar smiled reassuringly. "You stay here with Jenna. I'll head to Ivy Hollow and bring Galen back. Trust me?"

"...Okay."

After considering her options, Sherilyn nodded. "Alright, thank you."

"I'm off then."

Checking the time, Edgar grabbed his phone and car keys.

Sherilyn handed him his jacket and accompanied him to the door, reminding him, "Call me once you see Galen, okay?"

With the surgery looming, she needed to ensure Galen was unharmed.

"Don't worry."

Edgar nodded solemnly. "I'll have Galen call you himself to reassure you."

"Alright."

"Take care."

"Will do."

After seeing Edgar off, Sherilyn clasped her hands together.

Dear Lord, Buddha, God... whoever's listening, please watch over Galen and keep him safe!

"Yes!"

The one who had taken the Harrisons' money, now betraying Malvina, nodded vigorously. "Right here!"

But Nolan and his team had searched the place inside and out, finding no sign of Galen. "Mr. Nine, he's not here!"

Gilbert's sharp gaze landed on the informant. "Are you playing games with me?"

"No, sir!" The man was visibly terrified, shaking his head frantically. "I swear, I left him here!"

In his panic, he spilled everything.

Gilbert suppressed the rising fury within. "He couldn't have gone far. Spread out, search!" "Yes, Mr. Nine!"
