Chapter 879:
After a pause, Collin knelt and gently wiped the boy's cheeks.
“Hey, it's okay. Maybe they're just caught up in something. Doesn't mean they don’t care.”
With warmth in his voice, he added, “Why don’t you chwithfor now? We'll find Mommy and your
sister together.”
Eyes wide and full of heartbreak, Zander looked up at him.
“You really think you can find them, bad man?” he asked through heavy sobs.
Collin held back the urge to correct him. This wasn’t the tfor titles or pride. Instead, he softened his tone and
offered the only thing he could right now—a quiet, steady smile.
“That's right,” Collin said with a small nod. “You saw them this morning, didn’t you? My team’s good—really
good. If anyone can find your mom and sister, it's them.”
Images of Collin’s capable staff flashed through Zander’s mind. Their quiet efficiency and sharp uniforms had left
an impression.
For the first time, something shifted in his expression. “Okay... I'll believe you this once.”
“Does that mean you're ready to chwith me?” Collin asked, making sure to keep his tone as gentle as
possible so he wouldn't scare Zander.

smile. “Chere. I'll carry you.”

just a second before stepping forward. Without saying a word, he tucked himself into the man’s arms, letting
himself be lifted once more.
“You know... | still don’t know your name,” Zander mumbled.
Collin glanced at the boy's flushed face. He recalled that the little girl's nwas Zenia.
Zander introduced himself to Collin, telling him his name.
An eyebrow arched slightly as Collin spoke. “Can | call you Zander?”
“Sure...” Zander mumbled.
Dustin showed up just as Collin stepped out of the hotel room with Zander in his arms.
“What happened here?” he asked, glancing around the vacant suite, confusion written all over his face. “But
where's the boy's mother?”
Collin didn't respond right away. He
didn’t want to say anything in front of
Zander. “I'll fill you ida irs find

“Understood.”
