"That's right, Sir. I can only give you the advice to minimize that from happening. As his son, you must be good at guarding your father's feelings, sir. Don't say anything that will make things worse. The patient's feelings greatly affect his recovery," Explained the doctor at length.
Hearing that, Edrick felt guilty. That means, he is the cause of his father's condition like this.
If he had known about this beforehand, he would have kept everything a secret and said nothing to his father.
"All right, Doctor. Thank you," said Edrick.
"Erm, the nurse will check on his condition periodically," replied the Doctor, then he said goodbye.
"Okay, Doc."
After that, without waiting for the doctor to disappear from his sight, Edrick immediately entered his father's room. After confirming that he was okay, he contacted Edward and began to carry out his plan.
Luckily Edward agreed to his request.
Elsewhere, panic broke out in the Smith and Atmadja families. Everyone in that family had heard the news about Dave.
Mr. Atmadja and Mr. Aaron who were chairing a meeting in the office were forced to stop the meeting by force because of this. They mobilized a large number of people to search for their grandson's whereabouts.
Until nightfall, they had not found the whereabouts of the boy.
"Dave, where are you, honey?" mumbled Claire continuously. Currently, she is still around Bondi beach. She and Devan have not found any sign of the boy's whereabouts. Even the search area had been expanded, but they hadn't found any clues.
"Honey, you better go home and rest. Let me continue this quest. You haven't had dinner either, have you? I don't want you to get sick," Devan said, trying to persuade his future wife. They are currently in the car.
"Do you think I can rest in peace now? Don't ask me to do it, I even lost my appetite," replied Claire. Her eyes were puffy, and her face looked exhausted.
Hearing that, Devan took a deep breath. Not knowing what else to do, her hands gripped the steering wheel hard. "Then wait for me here."
"Where are you going?" asked Claire when she saw Devan open the car door.
"I want to buy water and burger there," Devan replied while pointing at the shop not far from them.
"Okay, then hurry up," Claire replied, then leaned back in the car seat, trying to relax her body as much as possible. Thinking about Dave, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Just five minutes and Devan came back with two bottles of mineral water and a couple of burgers in his hand.
"Drink it, honey. Then, eat this, at least your stomach must be filled, "said Devan.
Claire opened her eyes, with a sad look and a very weak movement, she accepted the water. "Thank you," she replied and drank the water.
"Eat this too."
Claire shook her head, "I'm not hungry. We'd better continue the search, Devan. It's late, I'm getting scared," replied Claire.
But Devan didn't care about the woman's words, he then opened the burger package and handed it to Claire's mouth.
"Eat, and replenish your energy."
"I can't eat, Devan. How can I eat here without knowing how my son is doing? I don't feel hungry at all either," replied Claire, shaking her head.
"Honey, do you think I'm not worried about our son? I'm also very worried, I'm afraid something will happen to him. So far we have not found its whereabouts. You have to eat, honey. Just a little. I don't want anything bad to happen to you too. I hope you understand my feelings," said Devan. He tried to persuade his future wife.
"Dave will also be worried if you don't eat, honey. Eat, just a little, for Dave. Do you want to look weak when you meet Dave later?" he added again.
Hearing that, Claire's tears started to fall and rolled down her cheeks. Slowly she opened her mouth and ate the burger.
"Eat up the food, honey. Then, we will continue the search," said Devan again, then fed the woman slowly and patiently.
Drrtt… Drrtt… Drtt…
Devan's cell phone suddenly vibrated, making the owner quickly grab the flat-shaped object.
"Hello, have you found Dave yet?" asked Devan immediately. The man who called him was Leo.
"Not yet, but I want to show you something. Look at your phone, I sent a photo," Leo replied.
Devan didn't respond and immediately checked the photo Leo had sent him.
"Leo, where are you now?" asked Devan as soon as he saw the photo of the shoe with Dave's name engraved on one side, if he looked at the photo, it was just the right shoe.
"Is it Dave's? It was sent by my messenger, he found it around near the Café around the beach."
"Right, it belongs to my son. I ordered the shoes, especially for him. Tell me where the address of the cafe is," said Devan hastily. His heart was racing. He didn't even notice that he'd been holding his breath since he'd spoken to Leo.
Reflexively, Claire turned to Devan. Various questions popped up in her head, but she patiently waited for Devan to finish talking to the person.
Hearing Devan's words, Leo immediately said the address where the Café was located. "I've asked them to check the CCTV around the place. Now Naila and I are also heading there," Leo replied.
"Okay, I and Claire will also be there soon," said Devan and then ended the call unilaterally. Without saying anything, he immediately started the engine, and the car started to speed up.
"How about it, Devan? any news about Dave?" asked Claire, the woman did not finish the food in her hand and directly placed it on the dashboard of the car. She again felt lost interest to finish the food.
"Dave's shoe was found dropped, honey. Don't worry, hopefully, this can be a clue for us," said Devan.
Claire didn't reply, the woman just nodded in agreement while wiping the tears from her cheeks. Even though they had found clues about her son, her worries didn't lessen in the slightest.
"Where are you, honey? how can you go so far?" mumbled Claire quietly.
Devan who heard his future wife just nodded, his jaw hardened. This incident is very strange. How could his son leave the beach alone? Did someone kidnap him?
Yes, during the trip, he kept thinking about it.
Suddenly a hand brushed his arm, making his grip on the steering wheel loosen.
Devan turned and smiled at Claire.
