**TITLE: Beseeched 354**
**CONTENT: Chapter 354 Find the Truth**

“Captain Murray.” Tony inhaled deeply, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. “We can’t stop.”

Peter clicked his tongue in frustration, his expression darkening. He had been hoping for a different response, one that might ease the tension in the air. Instead, Tony’s words only served to amplify the throbbing headache that had been plaguing him. “Seriously? Your boss won’t relent, and you’re just as stubborn?”

“It’s been days, man. Do you really think she’s still out there?” Tony’s voice was strained, laced with desperation.

“And even if she is,” Peter pressed, his tone sharp, “what condition do you think she’d be in now?”

“She’s gone! Can’t you just let her leave in peace? Keep searching then! Go on! I’d like to see what you’ll find!” Peter’s voice rose, fueled by a mix of anger and frustration.

With that, he stormed off, his fury palpable, practically igniting the air around him. Tony stood there, feeling defeated, his heart heavy with doubt.

He didn’t want to accept the harsh reality that Dawn might truly be gone.

But deep down, he knew Peter wasn’t entirely wrong.

Days had slipped away, and before that, the relentless rain had poured down without mercy. There was no way she could have survived such a deluge.

Yet, when it came to his boss, the thought of giving up was unfathomable.

Ultimately, it was Jonathan who helped Tony face the painful truth.

That night, as the sun dipped below the horizon, everyone gathered by the river packed up their belongings and left. Not a single soul lingered behind.

With a heavy sigh, Tony finally allowed himself to breathe a little easier. He returned to the hospital, took care of a few lingering tasks, and then collapsed onto the couch, desperate for a moment of rest.

Time slipped away from him, and he had no idea how long he had been asleep when he was jolted awake by the sound of movement from the bed.

His eyes flew open, panic surging through him. “Boss!”

Ethan’s face was ashen, a ghost of his former self. He shot Tony a cold, piercing glance before looking down and yanking the IV out of his hand with a grim determination.

“Hey, don’t!” Tony exclaimed, springing to his feet as Ethan attempted to rise from the bed. “You can’t go out right now.”

“Move.” Ethan’s voice was a low growl, filled with a fierce resolve.

Tony stood firm, refusing to budge.

“I said move!” Ethan’s command sliced through the air, raw and hollow after days of silence.

Tony flinched at the harshness but remained steadfast. “You haven’t eaten in days. You’re too weak. Just let the doctor check you first. And… going out won’t fix anything.”

He muttered that last part, uncertainty creeping into his voice.

Ethan’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with a wild desperation that threatened to spill over at any moment.

Without a word, he shoved Tony aside, determination coursing through him.
