Hadley looked between Nyla’s worried eyes and Eric's pale face. Her resolve wavered. With a resigned sigh, she
gave a small nod. “Alright... I'll stay a few more days.”
Nyla’s face lit up with relief. She gently smoothed Hadley’s hair like a proud grandmother. “Good girl. Don’t worry
—now that I'm here, | won't let him mistreat you again.”
“Grandma!” Eric whined from the bed, half amused and half desperate.
“I won’t—I wouldn't dare! Right, Hadley?”
“You'd better not!” Nyla shot back with a pointed look.
Meanwhile, from a quiet corner of the room, Linda stood frozen. A cold heaviness settled over her heart,
spreading like ice through her chest.

During the days Eric had been unconscious, he hadn't been idle—he’d been digging.
“It was Gifford,” he said. “He tampered with your car.”
Eric's expression darkened, but before he could speak, Ernest continued, “Before | could move against him, Ferris
stepped in. He sent Gifford abroad—quietly, efficiently.”
Eric’s brow furrowed, thick and tense with thought. “What does that mean? What's his angle?”
Ernest exhaled, shaking his head. “No idea. He's always been hard to read.”
The room fell into a contemplative silence before Ernest added, more quietly, “Now only Garry remains in the
Scott family.”
Eric nodded slowly.
