Eugene carefully suggested. "We should think about returning to Montrevia since staying here isn't helping now. You need better treatment for your condition."
Seeing Cedric stay silent, Alfred added, "He's right about you not being in great shape. Nelly might've lost her freedom, but she'll be perfectly healthy with Carl watching over her. You have to stay alive if you want to find her."
Finding Noelle was going to be a long game.
Cedric stared at the footage of her on his screen with a deep, unreadable look in his eyes. Finally, he said, "Let's go."
It was time to return home, but that didn't mean he'd give up. Instead, he decided to settle scores with the Liddells sometime in the future.
Alfred finally relaxed, seeing Cedric relent and agree to their return. There was hope as long as the latter agreed to treatment.
No matter how capable Carl was, he couldn't find Noelle forever, and they'd find her one day. The group boarded a private plane headed for Montrevia. And as the plane took off, Cedric watched the island shrink until it faded off into a ruin.
Back in Montrevia, Cedric was sent straight to the hospital for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment. Medical equipment available abroad had been too limited for proper tests.
He'd just been wheeled in for tests when Mia arrived at the hospital. Her eyes were red as she turned to Eugene and asked, "Still nothing from Sandelford?"
"We're still looking," he replied as he dabbed her tears.
She looked toward the examination room and murmured, "That's just so vicious of Carl to make Cedric forget Noelle."
