Chapter 1977: Chapter 1982

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

Despite Raegan’s reassurances, Erick’s concern lingered.

“It’s not physical? If you don’t want to see the Clifford family’s doctor, I’ll take you to someone else.

We’ll find someone you’re comfortable with.

”

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

“No, Erick.

I just saw Katie’s uncle, Davey.

That’s all.

”

Erick’s brow furrowed in concern, “What happened, Raegan? Did Davey say something to upset you?”

Raegan shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper.

“No, Erick.

I was simply terrified when I saw him.

His gaze sent shivers down my spine, and I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before… But I can’t quite place where.

”

“Seen him before?” Erick didn’t know much about Davey, but he thought it was unlikely Raegan had met Davey before.

Davey had been Living abroad for years.

It seemed improbable that their paths had crossed even when Raegan was a child.

For all these years, Davey had been absent from Ardlens.

Despite being a member of the Glyn family, Davey’s relationship with his relatives appeared strained.

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

Erick took Raegan’s hand in his, offering a reassuring squeeze.

“Your priority now is to focus on your pregnancy and your well-being.

Let me handle everything else.

”

“Have the gifts been dispatched?” Raegan enquired.

“They’ve all been sent out, Raegan.

Don’t worry.

I’m sure we’ll be reunited with our mother soon,” Erick replied reassuringly.

Raegan was escorted to the room to rest by Victor.

Erick’s expression turned thoughtful, his brow furrowed in concern as he replayed Raegan’s words in his mind.

He summoned the surveillance footage from the scene.

The surveillance footage was grainy and, due to the angle, failed to capture Davey’s facial features with clarity.

Although the footage was unclear, it revealed a chilling detail.

Davey’s gaze had been fixed on Raegan and Bryce as they departed, his attention lingering 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, he would naturally feel a sense of Loyalty and sympathy toward Katie, given their familial bond.

The investigation into Katie’s death had been concluded, and the forensic report had determined that the fatal injury was a lip laceration inflicted by Lorenzo.

Tragically, Katie had not received prompt medical attention, leading to a fatal respiratory arrest caused by uncontrollable coughing.

Furthermore, Katie was not just an innocent victim.

She was also a suspect in several other cases.

The prosecution had uncovered evidence at her residence, suggesting her involvement in various illegal activities.

However, with her passing, the investigation into her additional roles and responsibilities was forced to come to a close.

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

They had been thoroughly documented and remained on record.

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