chapter1287

When Connor walked in, Adrian felt hope spark inside him. He looked at Connor, his face almost desperate, and asked, "So... do you really think my daughter can be found? Now that they knew the girl living with them was just a clone, all Adrian could think about was his real daughter and where she might be.

Connor nodded. "The government will do everything they can to bring her back." If it was anyone else making that promise, Adrian wouldn't have dared to believe it. But it was Connor. With Connor, he trusted.

As soon as they left the Reynolds family home, everyone seemed to relax, finally able to breathe again. Juna turned to Lydia. " So, Lydia, does that mean we've finished the serum injections?" Lydia nodded. "For now, yes. Everyone on our list has received it, but there's always a chance we missed someone." There was nothing more they could do at the moment. She added, "If the police manage to find that missing letter of Lucinda's, it could give us another lead." She had a gut feeling that whatever Grace gave Lucinda was important, maybe even game-changing.

Suddenly, Lydia looked over at Connor. "Maybe we should go back to the Capital tomorrow. Even if we can't find the letter, Lucinda's phone might still have something useful."

Connor noticed the way Lydia was already slipping back into work mode and cut her off gently. "You've already handed that job over. Let them do their part. The most important thing right now is your eyes."

Juna chimed in, He's right, Lydia. Your eyes have to come first now."

Honestly, Lydia didn't have much faith in Mount Gemspire, but she kept her doubts to herself. She didn't want to bring Connor down. "Alright. Let's go to Mount Gemspire first."

When Lydia agreed, Connor squeezed her hand and smiled. If he had to search every inch of Mount Gemspire, he would. And if it wasn't there, he'd search the whole world until he found another Vision Rejuvenation Grass. There had to be another one out there. He refused to believe otherwise.

The next day, Juna and Carter headed back to the Capital, while Connor and Lydia flew straight to Mount Gemspire. By the time they landed, it was already dark and rain was falling hard. Damien had already been told they were coming. He was waiting with his team, but nothing could have prepared him for the sight of Lydia unable to see.

He stood back and watched as Conner carried Lydia out of the plane, holding her as if she was the most precious thing in the world. To Connor, she was.

Once inside their private suite, Connor set Lydia gently on the edge of the bed. "Just get some rest. I'll have them make you something to eat When it came to Lydia, Connor took care of everything

himself.

Lydia just nodded. "Okay."

As soon as Connor left the room, he called Damien over. "Did you find any trace of

the Vision Rejuvenation Grass?"

Damien had assumed at first that Connor's own eye condition was acting up again, but now he realized it was Lydia who needed the cure. "So fan. nothing," Damien said quietly, clearly frustrated. He and his crew had searched the entire mountain, but there hadn't been

single sign of the grass. He hated to say it out loud.

Connor didn't respond right away. Damien hesitated before suggesting, "Boss, maybe we should check with people in other places."

Connor just looked at him. Go get some food ready, things Lydia likes. Tomorrow I'm climbing the mountain myself.

Damien nodded and left to take care of it. He had already stocked up on ingredients, just waiting for Connor and Lydia to arrive.

The food was ready soon after. Connor carried the tray back to the suite himself. Lydia, food is here, he said, his voice softer than ever.

Lydia heard him and sat up on the bed, ready to eat.
