Chapter 300 

Briony lowered her gaze, staring at her tightly clasped hands. I heard it’s still pretty backward over there.” 

It is,Stewart replied. Most young people leave the island to find work elsewhere. The people who stay are mostly oldermiddleaged or elderly.” 

Briony took a deep breath, summoning her courage. Do you know if my mother’s all right?” 

Stewart hesitated. “It’s hard to say for now.” 

She turned sharply to look at him, every nerve in her body suddenly on edge. What does that mean?” 

Just then, a flight attendant appeared with a mug of warm milk

Stewart took the mug and held it out to Briony. Have some milk, try to get some sleep.” 

But the last thing Briony wanted right now was to drink milk and fall asleep

Stewart, you can be honest with me. I’m going to have to face the truth eventually,she insisted

He sighed. You’ll find out soon enough. There’s no point in rushing it.” 

He nudged the milk closer. Just drink it and try to rest.” 

Briony glanced at the milk, her expression cool. I’m not thirsty. Take it away.” 

Stewart arched an eyebrow. Worried I poisoned it?” 

She shook her head. No, but the thought makes me sick. I can’t drink it.Realizing he had no intention of telling her about her mother, Briony turned away and stared out the window

making it clear the conversation was over

Stewart watched her for a moment, then handed the mug back to the flight attendant

Bring her a blanket and a sleep mask.” 

Yes, sir.The flight attendant offered the items to Briony

Briony accepted them with a polite, quiet Thank you.” 

Stewart helped her recline the seat into a flat position

Suppressing her anger, Briony lay down with her back to him, pulled the blanket over herself, and slipped on the mask, determined to shut him out

Stewart stared at the back of her head for a few seconds, then finally closed his eyes and leaned back

Chapter 300 

Outside, the night sky was calm. The flight passed without incident

By sixthirty the next morning, the private jet landed at Southern Vale Docks

Briony hadn’t slept well at all. Her night was a jumble of restless, nonsensical dreams

When she woke, a dull ache throbbed behind her eyes

Stepping off the plane, a gust of morning wind hit her, making the headache flare painfully

She squinted, gritted her teeth, and, with her brow furrowed, followed behind Stewart and the others at a steady pace

Their cara black vanwas already waiting near the tarmac

Carl hurried forward to open the door. Stewart reached the car first, then turned to look at Briony

In the morning light, her face looked almost ghostly pale, her lips drained of color

Stewart’s brow creased with concern. As she approached, he held out a hand. “Are you feeling okay?” 

Briony shot him a frosty glance, ignoring his hand. I never feel okay when I’m around you.” She gripped the door herself and climbed into the van

Stewart let his hand drop, his eyes narrowing slightly

Carl, witnessing the exchange, gave an awkward little cough

Stewart shot him a sidelong look

Quickly, Carl looked away, pretending to be interested in the sky

Stewart turned away and got into the van

Carl let out a silent sigh of relief, closed the door, and took the front passenger seat

The black van pulled away, headed for Southern Vale Airport
