Amanda was beginning to rethink her choices.
When she showed up on the Vales' doorstep, it had seemed like a good idea.
When Helena and Vivian helped refine her plans and housed her, she believed she had hit the jackpot.

His voice hung in the silence.The woman on the bed did not stir, nor did her puffy eyes open.The nurse was about to speak again when Caroline's glare shut her up.“You know her?” she asked Adrian cautiously.Seraphina stood quietly just behind him. Close enough to hear the break in his voice when he responded, “She's my… late aunt.”Caroline’s brow whipped up as their gazes held.She looked back at the prone figure on the bed.The woman's chest rose and fell gently, aided by the oxygen mask.The monitor she was hooked to stayed rhythmically steady.“She doesn't look dead.”“Apparently,” he muttered, a bit sternly.When he turned back to the nurse, she shrank back in automatic defence.Adrian looked like he was about to snap someone's neck, yet his stomach twisted so violently he could barely breathe.“How soon before she wakes?” he asked the nurse.“I don't know for sure. The doctor…”“Get the doctor here,” Caroline said tersely.The nurse immediately bobbed her head and bolted from

“She's still pretty much out of it and banged up too, but they think she'll live," she continued. “Heading to Damatian Hospital right now. Listen, if they're connected, what if she's someone you know too, right? The police can't ID her yet. I don't hang around in Aurion enough to know many people. I was thinking maybe you might…”Adrian nodded. “Certainly. I'm on my way now.”“Cool.”The call disconnected, and Adrian turned to Seraphina. “Come, let me drop you off. I need to…”“I am coming with you,” she said evenly, her dark shades making it hard for him to see her eyes. Yet her determination was evident in her set chin. “I don't want to get tucked away while you go handle that.

Seraphina felt Adrian's hand tighten around hers before she realised she had automatically reached for it.Dr Wilde noticed her tenseness and smiled.“The surgery went well, Miss,” he announced.“Oh.” Seraphina's breath trembled out in a whoosh of relief.She turned towards Adrian, and all she could get past her tightened throat was a repeat of, “Oh.”With an understanding smile, Adrian simply opened his arms to her.She hesitated briefly before rushing into the crook of his arms.“He's alive. He's still… here with me,” she mumbled against his chest.

“Where?” Adrian asked curtly.Caroline shrugged in response. “They're just heading there. He'll send me the specific location soon. He reached out because I told him to call me immediately they get a lead.”“Fine, send me the…”Caroline held Adrian's arm before he walked away.“Let me do this for you, Adrian. You should stay with your fiancée.”His mind already on creative ways to destroy Scott the moment he saw him, Adrian blinked as he looked back at Seraphina.She quickly waved her hand. “No, it's fine. You can go. I'll just wait for the…well,” she ended with a shrug.

“I'll need your consent for the surgery, Miss Vale.”“What?” Seraphina gaped in shock at Oscar Wilde’s grave face.He had personally taken over Geoffrey's case the moment he realised he was Adrian's father-in-law.“Why…?” She took a second to steady her shaky tone. Then continued, “Why does he need surgery? He's…healthy,” she completed weakly as she remembered how Geoffrey had fallen unconscious even before he touched the ground.A healthy man certainly didn't look that deathly pale or stay unconscious since then despite the first aid attempts on the way.Mr Wilde shook his head in response to her statement. “No, Miss. Your father has an untreated stoma

“Why's that?” Adrian simply asked.“The write-up, sir. Voldemort has the unique format of writing our reports in percentages and scientific terms only. We don't spell it out clearly in writing, just to protect our clients in case someone gets hold of their results,” Mr Wilde explained.“That's true,” one person confirmed. “It wasn't until the doctor explained what was written to me that I fully got it last time.”“Also,” Mr Wilde continued, “the seal used on this is a good replica, but there's a missing detail. I have our e-seal here on my phone.”He pulled it out and enlarged the picture. “See the curved prong at the end here? The tapered end is a smudged T. The fake was just a straight line b
