Carl’s eyes widened in shock. Are you saying” 

This guy’s just a scapegoat,Stewart said, his expression dark and brooding. The real person who hurt Briony is still out there.” 

Carl hesitated, piecing it together. So this person was planted by Garry? get it nowGarry did all this to protect whoever actually targeted Ms. Kensington!” 

Stewart pressed his lips into a thin line, his gaze turning cold. Where’s Rosita?” 

Carl blinked, startled. You think Ms. Lockwood is involved?” 

If I’m right, she’s already left the country.” 

Carl quickly pulled out his phone and started dialing. Just as Stewart suspected, Rosita had flown out the same day Briony was attacked

The truth was becoming painfully clear

Stewart’s eyes narrowed, his voice low. Book a flightI’m leaving for Westenmar tonight.” 

Understood! I’ll take care of it right away,Carl replied without hesitation

Cedric Clarke, who’d been following the rapid exchange in confusion, finally burst out, Why are you going to Westenmar? To find Garry?He glanced from Carl to Stewart, totally lost. Seriously, what are you two even talking about? Who’s this suspect? Garryisn’t he that powerful businessman over in Westenmar? Stewart, do you actually know him?” 

Stewart barely spared him a glance, his tone icy. We met back when I was with the peacekeeping forces. He’s Chinese by heritage, and he’s known Randolph for much longer than I have.” 

Cedric stared, a little taken aback

So they were practically comrades, then

But from what Carl had just said, Cedric couldn’t shake the feeling that there was bad blood between Stewart and this Garry guy

Did something happen between you two?Cedric pressed

Stewart’s lips stayed sealed in a hard linehe didn’tanswer

Cedric let out an exasperated sigh. Here we go again! Stewart, I treat you like a brother. If you ever need backup, I’m the first one at your side. But youhow many secrets are you planning to keep from me, huh?” 

Stewart’s head throbbed from Cedric’s outburst. He pinched the bridge of his nose. Just quiet down, will you?Cedric glared at him. Oh, so now I’m the problem? Fine, Stewart, keep going like this and you’ll be a lonely old man before you know it!” 

When they arrived at the hospital, Stewart and Cedric made their way straight to the neonatal unit to see Stewart’s newborn daughter

She was sleeping soundly, finally at peace after an exhausting round of emergency care

As her father, Stewart was allowed a brief visit. He took a few photos of her, her tiny form still flushed a healthy pink. Later, he added them to a private, encrypted albumright next to pictures of her brother

Watching over her, some of the sharpness in Stewart’s eyes softened, his gaze warm

Then, he and Carl set out for Westenmar

Cedric decided to stay behind and help keep an eye on Briony and her baby

But before long, Stella called, her voice full of frustration. How much longer is this business trip of yours going to last?” 

Cedric’s heart ached. Star, please, just hang in there a little longer. I should be home in a few days.” 

But you’re not here! I keep having terrible nightmares, and I think I’m getting sick. My chest feels so tight, it’s hard to breathe, and my eyelids won’t stop twitching. Cedric, I need you. Please come home 

Cedric felt helpless. There was no way to explain everything to Stellaat least, not now. All he could do was try to comfort her as best he could

But when Stella’s memories were gone and her moods turned volatile, only Cedric could calm her down

Left with no other choice, Cedric made up his mind to return to Northborough. He planned to quietly bring Stella back to the hospital; Briony was so fragile right now, and even if Stella hadn’t regained her memory, seeing her might lift Briony’s spirits

Before leaving, Cedric slipped into Briony’s hospital room for a final checkin. He didn’t mention his plan to bring Stella backjust told her he needed to return to Northborough for a while

Briony reassured him, telling him not to worry and to take good care of Stella. She insisted that she and the baby were doing just fine

Cedric looked at Briony, who still had no idea about either of the children. The weight in his chest grew heavier and heavier

He couldn’t have known it then, but this wo
