Late into the night, Rowan finally heard Elissa's breathing even out beside him. He let out a silent breath. He waited a little longer, ensuring she was in a deep sleep, before carefully slipping out of bed.
Returning to the study, Rowan stood on the balcony for a long time before calling Ian. "Has Frank Atwater been in contact with anyone suspicious lately?"
His intuition told him Frank might be involved. But knowing Frank, while the man was a hypocrite, he wasn't exactly evil enough to orchestrate a poisoning.
The Murphy family and the Atwater family used to be evenly matched. Even though the Murphys had taken the lead, both families still kept tabs on each other.
Ian answered quickly. "No, just his usual business partners."
"No one?" Rowan's brow twitched, the suspicion refusing to fade. "Keep a close eye on him."
Meanwhile, at Zephyr Manor.
Today was supposed to be Elissa's scheduled visit to treat Suzanne Jensen. However, Elissa had called early in the morning to cancel. Hearing about the family emergency, Suzanne was understanding and urged Elissa to take care of herself.
Still, after hanging up, Suzanne couldn't hide her disappointment. She had specifically asked the kitchen to prepare Elissa's favorite dishes.
