Ernest laughed, low and cold. “Shut him up.”
“Right away, sir!”
“Mmrn..."
The next moment, Robin's ability to make any noise was stifled. Soon after, even his subdued struggles cto

Ernest closed his eyes for a moment of reflection, and then turned to Quentin. “Conduct a thorough search of the
sanatorium. We need to find her.”
“Understood!”
With Quentin off to organize the search, Ernest was left to wait. The staff had already scoured every hall and

Upstairs, Linda was helping Kira while Eric played with Locke. Yet, Ernest was noticeably absent.
“What's happening?” Nyla couldn’t contain her concern as she glanced towards Eric. “Did Ernest head to the
office? It’s quite late, and he’s not back yet. Isn't he going to join us for dinner?”
“Don’t worry, Grandma,” Eric reassured her, grabbing his phone. “I'll call him now.”
“Please do,” Nyla replied with a gentle smile. “Work can wait, and family should cfirst. Tell him to hurry; it's
not often we all get to be together like this.”
They had missed celebrating Christmas together due to Eric's hospital stay, but they were now looking to make
amends.
“Alright,” Eric said, dialing Ernest's number.
