Cedrick knitted his brows, maintaining a composed expression as he analyzed the situation.
Only a few individuals in Chanaea possessed the capability to defeat Gwendolyn unless her adversaries deployed a significant number of elite fighters. However, such a course of action would be highly conspicuous, attracting unnecessary attention within the hospital.
Alternatively, the other party might be armed.
Cedrick’s heart clenched as if someone was gripping it. The disheveled hospital room showed no signs of blood or any traces of violence, and he hoped that his suspicion would turn out to be unfounded.
Another possibility popped into his mind. Gwenny intentionally surrendered, offering herself as bait. Otherwise, Benny wouldn’t have been left behind in the closet. They would have taken them together.
After organizing his thoughts on the matter, he let out a deep sigh, feeling helpless and blaming himself for the risk his wife had undertaken.
Benedict continued to cry, his small mouth pouting. His soft and delicate sobs echoed his father’s distressed state.
Cedrick patiently comforted the baby, while his peripheral vision caught sight of a spilled pile of milk powder under the table.
He walked over, crouched down, and examined the traces of powdered milk.
His slender and graceful fingers touched the powder, twirling it between his fingertips, while his gaze darkened with contemplation.

“Contact Team Nine’s leader, Jasper, and instruct him to assemble a squad of ten soldiers. Also, bring a military dog,” he ordered.
“Yes, sir!”
While waiting for Jasper to quickly organize his team and Charles to arrive and take over, Cedrick comforted the baby.
