Upon hearing these words, Shawn displayed a subtle surprise. Why would Miss Pierre be linked to Zayden? Could it be due to this particular incident? At that moment, Holden's memory stirred, recalling the incident when Adele had indulged in cakes only to regurgitate it. He inquired, “How is Adele faring today?” “Adele is doing quite well; everything appears normal. However, strangely, she has spent the entire day tethered to the phone, forsaking all else, even her meals,” Shawn replied.

“No, it won't suffice,” he declared, his voice carrying an air of gravity.
“Hospitals are breeding grounds for germs, hardly suitable for children on an extended stay.
