Morwenna clenched her fists slightly.
Adelaide had an accident the night before, and Stuart had only just returned after being out all night.
Norbert had just narrowly escaped death. Couldn't Stuart at least stay one night by his side?
She looked at Stuart with such intensity that it seemed she would be disappointed if he refused.
Eventually, Stuart, who wasn't entirely heartless, responded indifferently, "Fine."
Norbert tried to ease the tension, telling Morwenna. "Wenna, head home and rest. Stuart being here tonight will be enough."
Morwenna nodded. "I'll stay a bit longer before I leave."
Norbert didnât object.
With Stuart's arrival, the rest of the Hetfield family quieted down, no one daring to disturb further.
Stuart sat in the hospital room, still as a statue.
Morwenna didnât speak to Stuart, busying herself around the room.
She fetched water to help Norbert wash his hands. Then she brought water to help Norbert take his medicine.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that Morwenna finally left.
Once Morwenna was gone, the room fell silent.
Norbert sensed the rift between Stuart and Morwenna.
Just yesterday, they had left the house together, not even bothering to appease Adelaide.
Today, they werenât speaking or even looking at each other.
After Morwenna left, Norbert asked Stuart, âWhatâs going on between you and Wenna?â
âNothing.â
âYou think Iâm blind? There must be something.â
âAdelaide attempted suicide last night. I had to deal with it.â
âYou went and didnât return all night, and now, you just return?â
âI sent her abroad, under supervision, not allowed to return for three years.â
Norbert was stunned by the decisiveness, a typical move from Stuart, known for his no-nonsense approach.
Only forcing Morwenna on him was an unexpected move.
After a moment, Norbert asked, âWhat are your thoughts about Wenna? I admit I rushed you into marriage, and Iâve promised Wenna that I agree to a divorce if you truly cannot make it work.â
Stuart looked down at Norbert, his tone casual yet firm. âYou agree? It doesnât matter whether you agree. You donât need to meddle in these. I will handle them myself.â
âYou donât want a divorce?â asked Norbert.
âIâll move back to the Hetfield's Homestead.â
Norbert raised an eyebrow, surprised his grandson didnât want a divorce.
Had they developed feelings for each other in such a short time?
Norbert wanted to continue, but Stuart cut him off. âYou asked me to stay, saying you wanted to talk to me. If itâs just about this, itâs unnecessary to talk.â
âItâs about the company...â
...
Meanwhile, Morwenna hadnât gone home to rest but headed to the Healing Streams Medical Center.
She was taking a night shift as a caregiver, from ten PM to five in the morning.
Her shift didnât conflict with her regular working hours.
The patient was a young girl who had fractured her left leg in a car accident.

Left alone, Morwenna was somewhat anxious about what to do next.
She looked at the girl on the bed, about her age.
Feeling uncomfortable under Morwenna's gaze, the girl said gently, âUm, I, Iâd like some water.â
Even though she was the one paying, the girl seemed apologetic.
Morwenna poured a glass of water and handed it over, introducing herself, âIâm Morwenna, but you can just call me Wenna.â
âI... Iâm Keira.â
