"He was in a critical window? How could I not panic?" Sweat soaked Be''s back in a hair-raising moment. "Why didn''t you call me? I am his daughter. I should be by his side at a time like this." The tears in Be''s eyes were a gut punch to Justin. He took her shaky hand and held her tight.


    Sure, Be would make fun of Wyatt and act like she did not care about him, but Justin knew she did not want anything to happen to her father.


    Asher fixated on Be''s tearful eyes and sighed helplessly. "Dad wouldn''t let us tell you."


    Be''s heart dropped. "Dad..."


    "When he had the stroke, he told Quentin not to inform us, especially not you."


    Asher tried to keep his tone t. "Dad knows that you have your hands full. He just didn''t want to bother you with another piece of bad news."


    The love of a father was great and silent.


    So as not to worry his children, Wyatt gritted his teeth and bore even the most agonizing pain.


    With emotions running high, Be''s voice turned hoarse. "Wilma, pack my things. I''m getting back to Hatchbay now."


    "Of course, Young Madam," Wilma responded.


    "Pack a few sets for me too, Wilma. I''m going with Be." Furrowing his brows, Justin wrapped his arm around Be''s shoulders.


    Be met Justin''s concerned gaze, and her eyes welled up. "I''m sorry. I doubt I can go with you to our Swiss vacation."


    "It''s okay. Your father''s health takes precedence. We can always go on vacation at another time." Justin cupped her face. "There''s one more thing."


    Asher paused, his expression somber. "Christopher is back."


    The air crackled with tension.


    The name stood out like a sore thumb.


    "His private aircraftnded at Savrow Airport this afternoon."


    Justin looked aloof. "Where was Christopher''s point of departure, Asher?"


    Asher replied, "Meridan."


    Surprised, Be rested her index


    finger against her chin. "So Christopher didn''t go back to Sentania or to Terranova. What was he doing in Meridan? Was it a suitable ce to get his mother the treatment she needed? I don''t think

    The mention of treatment reminded Justin of Grant.


    Somehow, Justin sensed something was not right.


    Asher replied, "Meridan has more advanced medical care and

    Parkinson''s and Alzheimer''s. Christopher might have gone there for his mother."


    Be scoffed. "I hope so. Let''s hope he wasn''t up to no good again."


    Steven took the wheel of a fancy car, taking the group to Hatchbay.


    While on the way, Be gripped her hands tightly together, her mind elsewhere.

    Be asked solemnly, "It had to be a stressful situation to trigger the stroke."


    Asher pursed his lips.


    While Asher tried to find the words, Steven blurted out in rage, "It''s all Mr. Cameron''s fault!"
