    Ste felt anxious and reluctant to leave, but Baldwin insisted, “Ms. Hall, please step outside. It’s Dr.


    Morghen’s protocol.”


    Ste tightly clutched her hands and eventually stepped back. The door closed firmly, muffling any


    sounds from within.


    Anxiously pacing outside the room, Ste couldn’t shake off a growing sense of unease. Finally, she


    turned to Baldwin and said, “Who is this doctor? Can we trust him?”


    “You’ve met him before,” Baldwin replied.


    Perplexed, Ste questioned, “When did I meet him? I don’t remember.”


    “At the Temple of Abawo.”


    “Temple of- Is he the Venerable Raphael Morghen? Isn’t he a religious figure? Since when he knows


    medicine?” Ste did not recognize Raphael due to his loose hair.


    Baldwin exined, “His belief and job are two different things.”


    ‘It sounds like he has quite a flexible career,’ thought Ste.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

    Raphael had a deep connection with Cordelia, and her trust in him prompted his invitation. Still, Ste


    wondered about his medical skills.


    After what felt like an hour, the door finally opened. The young man poked his head out, inviting them


    in.


    Ste hurried inside and saw Keegan seated on the bed, engaged in conversation with Raphael.


    Although he still appeared somewhat weak, it was an improvement from how he looked earlier.


    Upon her entrance, Keegan nced at her briefly before averting his gaze.


    Raphael concluded his discussion with Keegan, stood up, and said to Baldwin, “Let’s go.”


    Ste had a lot of questions, but she didn’t manage to voice any. Instead, she turned to Keegan, who


    said, “I can’t get up. Help me see our guest off.”


    Ste reluctantly stifled her thoughts and saw the guest out.


    By the time she returned, Keegan had already locked the door.


    Ste was surprised. Her lips twitched. She just wanted to ask how he was feeling. ‘What a mutt! He’s


    guarding against me like I’m some sort of threat!’


    Ste kicked the door a couple of times in frustration before angrily returning to the guest room.


    At the Saun residence, Darcie served Wenham a bowl of soup and asked, “Will Trevor join us for


    dinner today? He usually makes it back for meals whenever Ste is around.”

    “He didn’t call, so probably not. He’s flying abroad tomorrow, ” Wenham replied.


    Darcie casually asked, “Why so?”


    “He has a business deal to discuss and clients to meet.” Wenham ate the soup and continued, “He


    won’t be back for the next few days. You can tell Sandra to skip making his portion.”


    “Alright.”


    Just as they spoke, a message shed on Darcie’s phone. She quickly turned it off and said, “The soup


    isn’t very hot. I’ll go warm it up.”


    “Sure,” Wenham replied.


    Darcie took her phone and left the room. Once in the kitchen, she replied to the message she received,
