Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

After the meal, Keegan spoke softly. “Master Brook’s mother passed away five years ago. On her deathbed, she kept calling for Dillon—her daughter. Dillon left home after college because her parents almost tore up her admission letter in exchange for a $20,000 dowry. She cut ties with them after that.”

“Master Brook has been searching for Dillon ever since. When he started working here, he showed everyone her picture. Dillon went to college in Rivera and ended up staying at Central Hospital. He always believed she was still there. Over the years, he’s taken on all kinds of jobs, from fixing appliances to driving a taxi, just to keep looking for her. He only started working at the hotel after his mother fell ill, and he needed a steady job to care for her. He’s been here for over a decade now.”

“He’s a good man. He didn’t marry until he was 40, afraid that if he settled down, he wouldn’t be able to continue his search. Even now, whenever there’s a lead on Dillon, he goes to check it out, just in case. Twenty years have passed—who knows if he’d even recognize her now?”
