She sighed, her eyes sad, “He left school early to work and support his sister’s education. But he faced a harsh situation. His sister has leukemia. She’s only eleven. The doctor said if we can’t find a matching bone marrow, she might not survive the winter.”
Lennon asked, “Has a high reward been offered? High rewards can quickly find matching bone marrow.”
Mariela’s grip on the table tightened. She shook her head and frowned. “I’ve thought about it, but I’m worried it could cause problems. High prices might attract some shady people. They’d do anything for money.”
Lennon gently took her hand and tried to reassure her, “Don’t worry, I got this. I’ll find the right bone marrow match, and the donor will be okay too.”
Hope appeared in Mariela’s eyes. “Really?”
“Mm–hmm.” Lennon rubbed Mariela’s hand soothingly. “Trust me, Marie. How about you try to get some food in now?”
The warmth of his palm reassured Mariela.
“Okay.” She set aside her worries, smiling slightly with relief.
Lennon could help with this issue.

“Mr. Stark, we have a lead. I’m
outside. Can I come in to report?”
“Come in.”
Matthew, feeling cold, opened the door and entered.
Lennon poured a cup of warm water, held it, and sat on the sofa. His eyes looked a bit cold.“Speak.”
Matthew kept his head down. He cautiously lifted his gaze to glance at Lennon. “The person who kidnapped Dalia is connected to Nikolas.”
When Lennon heard this name, his eyes became more focused.“Nikolas?”
Matthew, trembling with fear, gave a soft nod and whispered, “Yes.”
