Lucas had been out all night searching for Amanda. When he returned, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with guilt.

Emily quickly called his assistant and helped Lucas into a room, laying him on the bed.

He lay on the bed with his arm over his face, lips tightly shut, not saying a word.

Emily handed him some tissues. "Lucas, calm down. We need to stay strong to save Amanda."
