Once everything was settled, Benard went to see Zayn.
When he was sending Freda to the hospital, he had spoken to Bugara over the phone. Upon learning that Zayn had suffered a relapse, he knew it would be chaotic at home, and Carla would face obstacles there. That was why he ordered Polka to pick the children up from Northridge to protect their mother.
Finally, it was all resolved. Nella had left while Thompson had also gone home.
When peace returned in the house, Vela and the other maids sighed in relief.
With Carla around, they could feel the previously bleak villa begin to bristle with warmth.
Benard reported Freda's condition to Carla. "Freda has woken up in the afternoon, and Rogan brought the three girls to accompany her in the hospital."
Given how noisy the group was, he dared not speak and instead slipped out of the ward.
Picturing the scene, Carla could not help but smile. Rogan was a lot more animated than Freda. With her around, the atmosphere would definitely be lively.
Because of Rogan's demeanor, the three girls loved to play with her. Naturally, Carla assigned her to take care of the children.
Freda would surely recover a lot faster with them to keep her company.
At that moment, Carla began to miss the three girls after not seeing them for a few days. In fact, she felt bad for not spending time when Daemon had entrusted them to her.
However, she could only wait till her own affairs were dealt with before she could focus all her attention on them.
While they were speaking, Carla's phone suddenly vibrated. When she saw the caller ID, she answered at once. "Hello, Charles!"
"Ms. Lierger, you wanted to talk to me?"
"Yes, how are things at your end? Did you manage to find Daemon?"
"Not yet, but I've confirmed that he's still alive!"
"Really? That's wonderful!" Carla was thrilled. "I knew he would be all right."
"Now that his enemies are hunting him down, we dare not act hastily. Hence, the only thing we can do now is to bide our time."
"Yes. You must be careful. You cannot let his enemies find out about his location from your end."
"I understand. Ms. Lierger, you take care of yourself too."
"I know. One more thing…"
"Go on."
"Do you know where Derelo is?"
"Derelo? He has always been secretive about his movements. Therefore, no one seems to know his location."
"Does anyone know how to get in touch with him?"
"What happened?"
"Someone extremely important to me is gravely ill. Time is of the essence, and only Derelo can save him. Charles, please rack your brains. Is there anyone who can contact him?"
"Let me ask Harrison. However, I suspect he doesn't know either. Only Mr. Lierger does."
"Help me contact Harrison first and find out about the details. Also, be quick about it."
"All right. I'll do so right away and get back to you once I hear from him."
After ending the call, Carla fell dispirited. Charles and Harrison were Daemon's right-hand men. If even they were not aware of Derelo's location, no one else would be.
Of course, Daemon definitely knew. However, since his whereabouts were unknown, it would be too late by the time he was found.
With that in mind, she began to grow anxious.
"Ms. Lierger, don't fret yet. I'm sure we can come up with something, " Benard comforted her.
"Time waits for no man." Looking at the sleeping Zayn, Carla pondered for a moment before making a decision. "When he wakes up, I'll have to return to Erihal."
"Huh?" Stunned, Benard dissuaded her, "Mr. Lierger had painstakingly removed you from the conflicts of the Lierger family because he doesn't want you to be in harm's way. By going back now, aren't you putting your life at risk?"
"I have Daemon's trusted subordinates by my side, so I'll be fine." Her expression was sullen. "Actually, I'm most worried about the children, especially Daemon's triplets. He had tasked me with taking care of them, but I have not been doing a good job."
