Chapter 568
Brian looked at Nova and paused for a moment.
Nova asked, “What’s wrong?”
Brian retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes. He said calmly, “It’s nothing. I’m going to Merion. If there’s anything, let Camren handle it for me.” “Why are you going to Merion?” Nova asked.
Brian took out a cigarette and held it between his fingers. He paused and said, “I’m going to look for someone.”
Nova looked at him suspiciously, but in the end, she did not ask anything.
She placed a contract in front of him. “Read this first.”
Brian’s mind was filled with Grace. He was not in the mood to deal with work matters. He took it and flipped through two pages, not reading a single word.
Nova saw that he was distracted and frowned.
At this moment, Camren came in from outside.
“Mr. Francis, the ticket has been booked for four-twenty this afternoon.”
Brian’s eyes lit up. He widened his eyes and stood up. “I’ll go to the airport now.”
After saying that, he didn’t even look at Nova. He directly walked past her and strode away.
Nova frowned in confusion. “Brian.”
Brian didn’t hear her at all and quickly left.
Nova turned around and looked at Camren. “Camren, what’s going on? Why is he in a hurry?” Nova said angrily.
Camren pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Nova was Mr. Francis’s current girlfriend after all. He didn’t think it was a good idea to tell her about it. It was better to wait for Mr. Francis to return and tell her personally. “Miss Nova, I’m not sure. Why don’t you call and ask Mr. Francis yourself?”
Nova’s eyes darkened. She wouldn’t call him.

Brian rushed to that hospital and asked Grace’s attending doctor, but the doctor did not say a word. He only said Grace had been hospitalized for three months before being discharged. FindNovel
No one could find out who brought her there for treatment.
Brian could only shuttle through the streets and alleys of Merion to look for Grace.
He had searched almost the entire Merion for a whole week but still could not find any traces of Grace.
Camren called. There was an
important negotiation in the company that Brian had to attend personally, so Brian had no choice but to go back first.
After Brian finished socializing at night, he went to the bar alone.
The noisy atmosphere seemed to make him forget all his worries for the time being.
He gulped down one glass after another until the bar was closed. Only

walk out of the bar.
The moment the cold night air hit him, his mind became extremely clear, and his heart felt empty.
He returned to the Francis family’s residence in a daze.
Everyone was asleep. Because he was drunk, he stumbled when he went upstairs. When he entered his room, he fell to the ground.
His movements woke up Nova next door.
She opened her eyes and listened quietly for a while. Then, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground next door. Brian was back.
Nova got up and walked to his room.
She saw Brian holding onto the table and struggling to get up.
Nova frowned with a cold expression. She looked at him for a while before walking over to help him up.
She did not know how much he had drunk, but as soon as she approached him, she frowned at the smell of alcohol.
Brian grabbed Nova’s wrist and suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Nova stumbled forward and both of them fell to the ground. She fell right into his arms.
He hugged her tightly and took a deep breath in satisfaction.
