Chapter 2043
When Love Comes Late
This reassurance seemed to relieve some of Bennettâs burden.
He was still eager to uncover any details about his uncleâs family to ease everyoneâs mind.
After a brief silence, Bennett suggested, âGrandpa, Grandma, maybe you could try to remember again.
Any small details you might have overlooked? Did Uncle leave any clues?â
Byron pondered deeply but eventually shook his head.
Suddenly, Kyra slapped her thigh and exclaimed, âOh, I remember something!â
Both Byron and Bennett quickly turned toward her.
Kyra continued, âA year after the accident, I received a box containing a photo of him, his wife, and their daughter.
â
Promptly, she called out to a servant, âPlease bring the photo I left on the bedside table.
â
The servant returned shortly with the photo, asking, âIs this the one, maâam?â
Kyra confirmed with a nod, and Bennett took the photo eagerly.
It was much clearer than the previous one.
In the photo, his uncle was holdin
g a little girl, and next to him stood a strikingly beautiful woman, her attention fixed lovingly on the child.
They looked like a happy family.
âGrandma, may I take this picture with me?â Bennett requested.
Then he added, âIâll arrange for someone to thoroughly search for them.
â
Kyra nodded her approval.
The next day, Stella was preparing to visit the hospital to check on Bella when she received a call from Clint.
Stella had been silent about everything that had happened, intending to keep it hidden from Clint.
âGrandpa, whatâs the occasion for your call today?â Stella asked, trying to keep her voice light, hoping not to reveal anything.
Clintâs tone was serious.
âWhere are you right now? Iâm currently in Seamarsh.
â
Stella was surprised.
âWhy have you come all this way so suddenly?â
Clint seemed slightly annoyed.
âWhy didnât you inform me about what was happening? Do you think Iâm too old to be of any assistance?â
Stella felt disheartened, not having anticipated that he would discover the recent incidents.
She hurried to clarify, âI just didnât want to cause you any worry.
Everythingâs under control now, and your health is my priority.
â
Eager to change the subject, Stella quickly asked, âSo, where are you exactly? Iâll come and pick you up immediately.
â
However, Clint was determined.
âNo need, dear.
Continue with your plans.
Iâll go straight to the hospital to see your mother.
â
Stella had arranged to visit Bella in the hospital.
Knowing Clint was also heading there, she scheduled to meet him at the hospital.
