âThis time, you have to listen to my advice.
Come with me to Seamarsh for a comprehensive medical evaluation.
Once youâre well, weâll return to Bysea.
â
Clint shook his head again.
âIâm already an old man.
A trip to Seamarsh would be both time-consuming and costly.
I donât wish to impose on you or Maverick.
Have the butler stay here and keep an eye on me.

Stella was both frustrated and helpless.
She inhaled deeply, regaining her composure.
In a gentle, measured tone, she asked, âWill you listen to me this time? If you agree to go to Seamarsh, Maverick and I can mend our relationship.

âIs that the truth?â
Stella nodded solemnly.
âYes, but you have to accompany me to Seamarsh for proper medical care.
â
âAlright, weâll go to Seamarsh.

Charlene appeared unperturbed and extended a smile.
She redirected her attention, fixing her gaze on Clint, and greeted him with a warm smile.
âMr.
Anderson, nice to meet you.
Iâm Matthewâs aunt.

Clintâs eyes widened slightly, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He had a faint inkling about Charleneâs unexpected appearance and the possible intentions behind it.
