When Dylan and Lyca left, Marceline was left alone outside the ICU, still watching Grandpa Roland through the glass window.
She didn't know where Kira went. He just walked away without telling her where he was going. He got upset since Marceline defended Dylan while scolding Kira for being rude to him.
Marceline was oblivious of the fact Dylan was a werewolf and he was the son of Kira's mortal enemy, Dominique Silvano.
While Marceline was watching Grandpa Roland, the head of security of the Zhou Family approached her. Since she thought the head guard was loyal to her grandfather, Marceline didn't suspect him.
"Young Miss, I came here to tell you something. It's about your grandfather. Are you available?" The head guard politely said to her.
"What is it?" She asked him expectantly.
The head guard of the Zhou Family glanced from left to right as if he was surveying the area. When he didn't see anyone, he spoke up again, requesting something from Marceline.
"Young Miss, Your grandpa told me to tell you this if something bad would happen to him. But I guess this was not the appropriate place. Can we talk somewhere else, not here?"
Marceline became interested in what he was about to say as this was about his grandfather. It seemed that he had something important to tell her as his expression was very serious.
Little did she know, this was just bait to catch her and get her out of the hospital peacefully. Marceline had to go with him willingly.
"Alright. Let's go," Marceline responded. She was dying to hear what he wanted to say to her.
What if this was related to his Uncle Ronan? Did they try to harm her grandfather? Did they neglect his illness intentionally to make his condition worse?
The head guard smiled triumphantly. This was his chance to eliminate Marceline according to their plan. While they were walking in the hallway, the head guard already messaged his underlings for them to prepare.
They were in the hospital lobby when Evelyn saw them. She also received the head guard's message. After tonight, she would no longer be threatened by Marceline's presence.
Not noticing Evelyn's presence, Marceline and the head guard proceeded to the parking lot. They just reached his car when someone grabbed her at the back. Then she just felt something sharp was buried in her flesh. Someone injected her with a sedative.
She was about to fight back but her vision suddenly became blurry and her head felt like spinning. Before she knew it, someone already pushed her in the back passenger seat.
Two men also stepped into the car. Both of them were wearing masks, hiding their faces. The location of the car was in the blind spot of the CCTV camera so the scene was not recorded in the video.
The head guard was the one who drove the car away from the hospital. They got Marceline and left without any hassle. She fell unconscious because of the sedative.
Meanwhile, Kira, who walked out a while ago, still had no idea that Marceline was kidnapped. He went to the rooftop of the hospital to calm himself down.
Dylan's presence annoyed him to the core. He thought he could pretend in front of him but thinking he was related to Dominique Silvano, Kira couldn't help but hate Dylan's as well.
Kira took a deep breath while watching the overlooking view of the Golden City. The wonderful city lights made him relax a little. No stars could be seen tonight as the night sky was very cloudy. It looked like the rain was about to fall.
As he was observing the city, Marceline's charming face and her gentle smile popped up in his mind. But that smile was not intended for him but for Dylan.
"Why? Why did she have to act very friendly towards him? He is our common enemy. If only she knows the truth, I don't think she can still smile at him and treat him like that." Kira kept on lamenting to himself, feeling jealous of Dylan.
Kira wanted to shout and vent all his frustrations tonight. Though he was upset, he still couldn't ignore Marceline. He couldn't bear to stay away from her for too long, especially now that she needed his moral support.
He was still concerned about her so when it started to rain, Kira had decided to return and check on Marceline. However, the moment he arrived in the ICU room, Marceline was not there. Only Ronan and Natasha were standing outside while talking to Grandpa Roland's doctor.
Ronan was already treated by another doctor. He had a few stitches on his forehead. His nose also had a bandage.
"Where is Marceline?" Kira asked Natasha and Ronan.
The two turned around, looking at Kira with their glaring eyes. They were not happy to see Kira. His presence made their blood boil with raging fury. He just beat up Ronan and hurt Natasha's wrist.
"Why are you looking for her? We thought you left with her. It's surprising that you are alone. You are both always together." Evelyn spoke from behind. She just joined her husband and her daughter after making sure that Marceline had been taken by her men.
Kira didn't say a word. He walked past them, completely ignoring their presence. He regretted asking them a question. It was not surprising that no one answered him properly. If they hated Kira, Kira loathed them more so as far as he could, he would avoid interacting with them.
If it's not for Marceline and his concern for her, Kira would never ask Ronan and Natasha about Marceline. But he had no choice. He didn't know where she went. She was just standing outside the ICU when he walked out. But when he returned, Marceline was no longer there.
Instead of asking them further, he decided to look for her around the hospital. He wondered if Marceline was also looking for her as he left her a while ago.
Kira used his vampiric speed to scan and search the hospital, hoping to see Marceline. But to his disappointment, there was no sign of her in the building.
"Marceline, where are you?" Kira's heart was not at ease without seeing her. He had a bad feeling about this.
He tried to track her scent but it led him to the parking area. Her scent stopped there and he could no longer smell her as it was raining outside. Her scent was washed away by the rain.
With no other choice left, Kira had to depend on the human's technology to find Marceline. He tried calling her while he was heading to the CCTV control room of the hospital. He hoped the CCTV had captured Marceline.
His worry intensified further when Marceline was not answering her phone. Now, he regretted leaving her alone by herself.
"Damn! It's my fault! I told myself not to leave by her side but because of that young pup, I got upset and left her without thinking. Stupid, Kira!" Kira scolded himself.
Kira immediately asked the staff and personnel assigned in the CCTV room to find Marceline. After several minutes, they saw the footage wherein Marceline was talking to the head guard of the Zhou Family.
Kira recognized the man as he was always following Grandpa Roland around the Zhou Empire. He was Grandpa Roland's personal guard while in the office so Kira was already familiar with him. The head guard was muscular and tall. He seemed to have lots of experience when it came to fighting.
"What are they talking about? Can't you hear their conversation through these cameras?" Kira asked the staff with his authoritative voice.
The two men immediately shook their heads as a response to Kira's query.
"Then what's the use of these cameras?! I need to know where she went! She might have mentioned something during their conversation." Kira was now agitated. His eyes were fixed on the monitor, still watching Marceline as they went to the parking lot.
However, the CCTV was not able to record Marceline and the head guard after walking toward his car. It was a dead end. No more clue after that!
Kira's instinct was telling him something was not right. He was worried sick about her for a reason unknown. Eating his pride for the sake of Marceline, Kira dialed Xyon's number. It rang for five seconds before it was answered.
"H-Hello?" Xyon's anxious voice was heard from the other line. He was traumatized when Kira strangled him. He thought he would really die at that time. Fortunately, Marceline came on time, rescuing him from the hands of Kira.
"Mr. X! LOOK FOR YOUR LADY BOSS. I want her location in five seconds! Track her, NOW!" Kira commanded Xyon without explaining things to him.
Xyon who was afraid of Kira, immediately took action. A tap-tap from a keyboard could be heard as Xyon began tracking Marceline's location through her phone signal.
After a few seconds, Xyon finally found her. But her signal was moving. It seemed like she was going somewhere. He immediately reported this information to Kira.
"I transmitted her signal and location in your phone. You can now use it to follow and search for her." Xyon gave Kira final instructions on how he would be able to use the tracking device to catch up with her.
Without further ado, Kira hung up the phone and left the hospital in a rush to follow Marceline's signal in the tracking app.

A black car stopped on the bridge. Two men stepped out of the car, holding a woman. Soon, a big splash was heard as they threw her from the bridge and she fell into the water.. Her body started to sink at the bottom of that river.
