Eric, momentarily stunned, replied, "No problem, I'll make the arrangements."
He was about to hang up when he caught Casiano's intermittent voice.
"And Ms. Evans, Eileen…"
She was her dear friend, who also deserved to be by her side to witness her happiest moments.
His thoroughness and profound affection moved Eric deeply.
"Casiano, you must find your happiness."
The love you've sought and the Ms. Barton you've yearned for must, without fail, bring you joy.
Casiano's lips curled into a smile, a faint warmth spreading across his pallid face…
Happiness was close at hand, just within reach…
Eric ended the call and promptly notified the Davies family members to arrange a private jet to Finland punctually.
He then tried to call Eileen several times without answer, so he contacted Sam to find her.
With the arrangements in place, Eric lifted his glass from the bar and drained it in one gulp.
