Chapter 114
Back at the hotel, Stephanie was restless.
She had a feeling that something was off.
George’s sudden coldness and the odd look on Vincent’s face just didn’t add up…
The door was knocked on, and she hurried to open it. Seeing the man in front of her, she struggled to hide her complex emotions. “Vincent, what did Grandpa say to you?”
“Pack your things. You’re on a flight back to Havencrest in an hour.” Vincent didn’t answer her question. Instead, he gave another order in a deep voice.
“Fly back to Havencrest in an hour?” Stephanie looked up, meeting Vincent’s eyes. She pondered for a moment, biting her lip, asking, “Why? Did Grandpa ask you to send me away from Serenburg?”
Vincent’s face changed slightly. He turned his head, avoiding her gaze.
His voice was cold as he reminded her, “Just get ready. If you’re hungry, grab something on the plane. We’re on a tight schedule, so let’s…”
“Wait, did something happen to Dominick?” Stephanie stepped forward, quickly cutting him off.
“Vincent, what did Grandpa tell you? it must be about Dominick, right?” Stephanie’s eyes were clear and insistent as she pressed on.
“Nothing.” He was unwilling to say more.
“Vincent, I know the accident was my fault. Dominick got hurt protecting me…”
“It has nothing to do with the accident!”
Looking at her guilty expression, Vincent felt somewhat irritated and retorted.
Hearing this, Stephanie was even more confused. “Then what is it about…”
“We’re not sure yet…” He paused, his tone growing heavier as he murmured, “Turns out Dominick has been hiding things from us all these years. Vincent spoke these words very softly..
He had no idea how to deal with that…
“Dominick is safe for now. We don’t need you to be here. Stephanie, pack your things and leave now.” Vincent didn’t give her a chance to respond before turning and walking away.
“We don’t need you here. The words echoed in Stephanie’s mind.
She stood at the doorway, watching him stride away.
To Vincent and
Mary, this might be a simple fact. She wasn’t a doctor and couldn’t help, so there was no need for her to stay.
But to Stephanie, those words cut deep. Because… She couldn’t offer any help at this point.

Chapter 114
Stephanie lowered her head, a sense of inferiority and gullt flickering across her eyes. “I can’t do anything for him.”
She turned back to the suite and gently closed the door.
In the spacious and luxurious hotel suite, she was once again left alone.
George and everyone thought she was in the way and wanted her to leave.
“But I don’t want to go.” Ves, she wanted to see him.

With a heavy heart, she began to pack her suitcase. Suddenly, a breeze blew in through the window, causing the light blue silk curtains to flutter. For some reason, it reminded her of Wellington Villa’s bedroom.
She loved sleeping with the window open, but as the night wore on, the air grew thick and humid, and a chill wind crept in. She was too lazy to get up and close it. She simply burrowed deeper into her blankets, shivering slightly.
Yet, every time she woke up, she would find the window had been closed.
Even if Dominick didn’t say anything, she knew he always came back to the bedroom at night to do one simple thing–close the window for
her.
Stephanie didn’t know why he did it. Maybe it was for the sake of the babies she was carrying…
Stephanie’s face remained calm as she casually fabricated a lie. “It’s just my boyfriend. We had a fight, and I’m not in the mood to talk to him
“She must be at the hospital.” Vincent narrowed his eyes. He knew Stephanie wasn’t going just to listen, and even Dominick couldn’t control her. There was no way she’d listen to anyone else!
“Get word to the hospital. If they see her, just get her. Vincent sounded frustrated. After a moment, he added, “And don’t tell George about
