At that moment, Morwenna's eyes were filled with a fierce determination. Although she knew these bodyguards were just innocent pawns carrying out orders, her desperation had subtly altered her mindset. As one of the guards turned to open the door and call for help, Morwenna released the person she was holding and quietly stood her ground, waiting.
Phineas arrived more quickly than Morwenna had expected, almost as if he had been waiting just outside; the moment the guard stepped out, he entered. Before Morwenna could say a word, Phineas remarked with a detached air, "What are you stirring up now? I was actually looking for you."
His voice was loud enough to make Morwenna frown and glance towards Norbert Hetfield. She lowered her voice and said, "Let's talk in the study."
"Lead the way."
Phineas was well aware of Morwenna's capabilities, but he didn't bother calling for backup. As long as Norbert was there, Morwenna wouldn't dare to act rashly. Once inside the study, Phineas asked, "What do you want from me? Are you tired of all this and thinking of leaving? Remember what I told you a few days ago? Once you're in, there's no turning back halfway."
Morwenna shook her head, "I'm not leaving. Just give me back my phone. I need to make a call and find a better doctor."
Phineas scoffed, "Don't waste your efforts. You already have the best doctors in the country. Or is this really about finding a doctor, or are you trying to contact Stuart?"
Morwenna hesitated, "Yes, I want to contact Stuart. I have every reason to suspect you're deliberately not treating Norbert Hetfield properly. I need Stuart; he will know how to save Norbert! What, are you hiding something, is that why you're stopping me from contacting him?"
