Chapter 633
"What?" The driver, Benjamin Davis, was stunned and turned to look at Walter.
Benjamin wasn't sure if Walter was joking or serious, so he asked, "Are we really flying back?"
Alexander leaned back calmly in his seat, showing no expression. The cabin was dimly lit, and no one could see the fatigue in his eyes.
Kyle, on the other hand, was getting anxious. "What are you doing? We're so far out. aren't you going to refuel before heading back??"
He was worried. If Alexander was left on the island, he might actually stay there.
Benjamin glanced at Walter, who had already closed his eyes, too lazy to bother with Alexander.
After some thought, Benjamin decided not to turn back. It seemed like an idle threat; turning back now would mean conceding defeat. After flying for so long, it wasn't feasible to waste fuel on a return trip.
The helicopter flew towards Sylvadora in the direction of the clouds. By now, it was dark outside. Over 621 miles away, it would take more than an hour to get back. Quinn, nestled in Alexander's arms, dozed off. Kyle reported the situation outside to Alexander.
He had arrived in Sylvadora on the second day of Alexander's disappearance, following Walter and the others in the search.
Landon returned to Amber Bay on the fifth day of the cruise ship incident, reportedly seriously injured, currently inactive; and the situation was unclear.
The cruise ship incident couldn't be contained. It had already caused a stir online. The cruise ship was owned by the Vide Group, a joint venture company. They publicly claimed it hit an iceberg.
It was unclear whether they were intentionally concealing the truth or had other reasons.
Many high-status individuals were on the cruise ship. In addition to the compensation issue, someone had to take responsibility for the accident. They pushed a manager out.
They speculated it was Landon from Hetastian, but now the cruise ship's wreckage couldn't be found; and there was no evidence. It was still unclear how things would unfold. Kyle's report only provided a general overview. After all, he had been busy searching for Alexander these days and had yet to delve into the specifics.

As the helicopter passed over the area where the incident occurred, they could faintly see the scattered lights on the sea surface; they were still retrieving bodies. Alexander remained expressionless as he listened to Kyle. Suddenly, he asked, "No news from Landon?"
Kyle replied, "I had someone keep an eye on him after he returned. Currently, he's inactive in the hospital, probably still not discharged."
Alexander raised an eyebrow but remained silent. He closed his eyes to rest.
An hour later, the plane slowly landed on the outskirts of Sylvadora. Volume had already sent someone to wait on the roadside.
Quinn was still asleep. Alexander picked her up and got off the helicopter.
Seeing a few people disembark, Volume finally breathed a sigh of relief and greeted them with a smile. "Mr. Kennedy!"

He glanced at the sleeping Quinn, then quietly closed his mouth and lowered his voice. "Get in the car. We've been waiting for you for a while."
Alexander put Quinn in the car and followed suit. The car drove back to the hotel, where Getty was waiting at the entrance, craning her neck to look around. As soon as she saw Alexander, she immediately ran up to him. "Alexander..." Seeing the person in Alexander's arms, her face stiffened momentarily. However, recalling what Alexander had said earlier, she suppressed her emotions and managed to force a smile.
Getty said, "It's really great that you're okay."
Alexander glanced at her. "What are you doing here?"
Following his footsteps, Getty spoke somewhat aggrievedly and said, "I heard about your accident. I was so scared during this time. I couldn't eat or sleep, thinking about you every day, and I thought you..."
As she spoke, she swallowed back the harsh words that were about to follow. She was truly afraid that Alexander had died.
Alexander ignored her and took Quinn into the elevator.
Getty shamelessly followed him. She kept stealing glances at Quinn, who was sound asleep.
