Chapter 1018:

Stefan tactfully excused himself, leaving the brothers alone as the conversation turned personal.

Despite Raegan's reassuring words, Erick's concern persisted. «Isn't it something physical? If you don't want to see the Clifford family doctor, I'll take you to another one. "We'll find someone you feel comfortable with."

As he spoke, Erick gently took Raegan's arm, guiding her toward the door.

«No, Eric. I just saw Katie's uncle, Davey. That's all."

Erick's brow furrowed in concern. “What happened, Raegan? Did Davey say anything that bothered you?

Raegan shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. «No, Eric. I was just terrified when I saw it. His look gave me chills, and it seems to me that I have seen him before somewhere... But I don't really know where.»

"Have you seen him before?" Erick didn't know much about Davey, but he thought it was unlikely that Raegan had met him before. Davey had been living abroad for years. It seemed unlikely that their paths would have crossed even when Raegan was a child.

All these years Davey had been absent from Ardlens. Despite being a member of the Glyn family, Davey's relationship with his relatives seemed strained.

“Raegan, are you exhausted and overwhelmed? Has the stress become too much to bear? Erick thought that Raegan was tired and needed to rest.

Erick took Raegan's hand in his, offering her a reassuring squeeze. «Your priority now is to focus on your pregnancy and your well-being. Let me take care of everything else.

"Have the gifts been delivered?" Raegan asked.

“They have all been dispatched, Raegan. Don't worry. I'm sure we will be reunited with our mother soon,” Erick responded reassuringly.

Raegan was escorted to the room to rest by Victor.

Erick stood thoughtfully, his brow furrowed with worry, as he mentally reviewed Raegan's words. He called up surveillance footage from the scene.

The surveillance footage was grainy and, due to the angle, did not clearly capture Davey's facial features.

Although the images were not clear, they revealed a chilling detail.

Davey's gaze had been fixed on Raegan and Bryce as they left, and his attention had lingered on them even after they had left the frame.

Erick's eyes narrowed, lost in thought.

Although Davey kept his distance from the Glyn family, as Katie's uncle, it was natural that he would feel loyalty and sympathy towards Katie, given their family connection.

The investigation into Katie's death had concluded, and the coroner's report had determined that the fatal wound was a laceration to the lip inflicted by Lorenzo. Tragically, Katie had not received immediate medical attention, leading to a fatal respiratory arrest caused by uncontrollable coughing.

Plus, Katie wasn't just an innocent victim. She was also a suspect in other cases. The prosecution had found evidence at his home that suggested his involvement in various illegal activities.

However, with his passing, the investigation into his additional roles and responsibilities was forced to come to an end.

However, Katie's criminal activities would not be swept under the rug.

They had been thoroughly documented and recorded.

The prosecution kept Raegan and Mitchel's identities secret to protect them from harm.
