Samuel had been treated and promptly transferred to a regular ward.
Two bodyguards stood sentry outside the single-patient ward, one on each side of the door.
Marianne approached the ward with a puzzled look on her face as she held a thermal container in her hand. "And you two are?"
Tessa opened the door at this moment. "Ms. Connors, my father's fall might not have been an accident. Stephen sent these two here to protect him."
Marianne frowned. "Tess, what are you implying?"
"Please come in. I'll tell you everything."
Ten minutes later, Marianne looked at Tessa with fear and worry in her eyes. "So, you're saying that Caleb's bastard son harmed your father to flush you out?"
Tessa nodded solemnly.
"You have to be extra careful from now on, Ms. Connors. You should also have bodyguards with you at all times. It's also best to keep Seline homeschooled for now. The person who kidnapped Seline was also one of James' men," Tessa advised her sternly.
"Alright." There was clear fright in Marriane's eyes as she added, "I'll hire a tutor for Seline."
Tessa suggested, "You might want to hire a reliable tutor, and thoroughly investigate their background before you do. I'm worried they might send someone to pose as a tutor to sneak into the house to take you and Seline hostage."
"Yes, I'll hire the tutor we've gotten Seline in the past." Marianne nodded firmly.
"Thank you so much, Ms Connors." Tessa massaged her temples wearily. "How's Seline doing? Was she frightened yesterday?"
Marianne shook her head. "I didn't tell Seline anything. Your father was found toward the end of the party, so I told Seline that he left early because something came up."
"I see. I'll have Stephen select capable bodyguards to protect you and Seline, Ms. Connors," said Tessa.
"Okay."
…
The next afternoon, Stephen finally managed to pay Samuel a visit after wrapping up his work.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
Whats wrong with the typing?? There a lot of weird words...
More frequent updates please...
