In no time, the helicopter entered Baykeep's airspace. Sally taught Lucian to contact the control tower.

Despite sounding young, Lucian was steady, so the control tower's staff didn't suspect anything and directed them about the altitude of the helicopter's descent.

Twenty minutes later, the helicopter landed on a helipad on the top floor of a hotel.

It was a touch chilly in Baykeep that day. In fact, it was still raining then. As it was also easy to catch a cold during that particular season, Cooper made a call and had breakfast delivered to the hotel.

He decided to wait until the weather had improved before going to the hospital to visit Herbert.

After breakfast, Sally pulled Cooper aside to talk. “Call Steven to come over. I want to make a trip to Baykeep University.”

“Stefan is studying in Baykeep?” Cooper asked.

“Yeah,” Sally said impassively. “Baykeep is the Zeigler family's territory. Mr. Zeigler has quite a close relationship with my father, so I can rest easier when Stefan is here.”

It so happened that Stefan had no lecture that morning.

Without asking any more questions, Cooper took out his phone and gave Steven a call.

Sally took a taxi to Baykeep University. Before the vehicle reached the university gates, she spotted Stefan standing there with an umbrella in his hand.

When the taxi came to a stop, she swung open the car door. “Stefo.”

“Sally.” Upon seeing it was Sally in the taxi, Stefan quickly closed his umbrella and got in. A great many droplets of rain fell on his black woolen coat.

Wiping the water from his coat with a piece of tissue, Sally frowned and asked, “Why are you just wearing a coat when it's zero degrees today? Didn't you buy a down jacket?”

“I did, but the zip broke.”

It was early when Sally traveled to Baykeep. It was only half past eight right then. She brought Stefan to the diner from which they ordered takeaway earlier for breakfast.

After they took a seat by the window, Stefan whined, “This is the first time you came to Baykeep to visit me, Sally.”

Since Sally sent him to Baykeep over two months ago, she hadn't been back, merely having called him twice.

She had watched Stefan grow up, and he was her only family besides her parents.

For that reason, the coldness on her face faded significantly when she was with him, and her tone was also exceedingly gentle. “Sorry, that was an oversight on my part. I've been busy investigating Edward, so things have been rather hectic. I'll call you once a week and inquire about things here from now on.”

Eating a bite of spaghetti carbonara, Stefan asked, “Was it really him who reported Mr. Zane for pulling strings for someone?”

“Yeah...”

Since there was no sign prohibiting smoking in the diner, she took out a packet of cigarettes and a lighter. She lowered her head and lit a cigarette.

Then, she told Stefan everything she had discovered in the past few days.

“Other than coming to Baykeep to visit you, I have something else to do.” She tapped the cigarette between her fingers against the ashtray.
