Hugh responded smoothly, “She’s swamped with work and couldn’t make it. I’ll bring her by another time.”

The Kroos family elders chimed in with warm praise for Bethan’s beauty, poise, and ambition.

As the crowd showered Hugh with compliments, a young woman’s voice cut through, pointing toward the entrance. “Wait, isn’t that Mrs. Cavill?”

Hugh and the others turned in unison.

Bethan, radiant in a dreamy blue evening gown, glided into the room. She pushed James’ wheelchair, her presence drawing gasps and murmurs of awe from the crowd.

The room buzzed with whispers as Bethan glided in, pushing James’ wheelchair, her presence sparking a wave of speculation.

“Didn’t Mr. Cavill just say his wife was too busy to make it?”

“Now she suddenly has the time…and she’s here with another

man?”

“Look at that gown on her. That’s VRYTHOS’ haute couture9:46 from this season. She really lives up to the title of the voung

madam of the Cavill family.”

“Don’t be so sure. Maybe that dress came from the man in the wheelchair.”

“Haven’t you heard? Mr. Cavill has been keeping a mistress on the side and even has a kid with her. He’s been cheating for ages.”

“Looks like Mr. and Mrs. Cavill are playing their own games. This is going to be a show.”

The gossip grew uglier by the second, and the faces of Hugh and his parents darkened with every word.

The Kroos family’s reactions to James were a mixed bag—some rushed forward eagerly, others gritted their teeth, and a few stood frozen in shock.

Fiona leaned in, her voice a hushed reprimand. “Hugh, you said Bethan wasn’t coming because she was tied up with work.”

Ryan’s face was a storm cloud, his voice low with fury. “Hugh, what the hell is going on?”

Hugh’s gaze locked onto Bethan, intense and unyielding, 19:46

He kept his composure, his tone steady. “Mom, Dad, Bethan is Mr. Keating’s primary physician. She likely came straight from his treatment to join us here.”

His explanation smoothed the edges of Ryan’s and the elders’ irritation, their expressions softening.

With a few calm words, Hugh diffused the charged atmosphere.

He stepped to Bethan’s side, gently taking her wrist and pulling

her close.

“Let me take over,” he said, nodding toward the wheelchair. “You take a break.”

His calm demeanor caught Bethan off guard.

He didn’t question her and didn’t show the slightest flash of

anger.

Her gaze drifted around the room before she took a small step back, letting Hugh take over without protest.

She’d known that arriving with James would rattle the Kroos and Cavill families.

to see exactly how long the Cavills could keep their tempers.

Fiona’s father, Randolph Kroos, supported by the crowd, approached James. “Hugh,” he said, “take your uncle inside to rest.”

With that single sentence, Randolph made it clear that James was family, connected to both Hugh and Bethan.

Hugh glanced at Bethan before wheeling James toward the inner hall.

Bethan stayed behind.

Fiona shooed away the onlookers and pulled Bethan to a quiet

corner.

“Be careful with James,” Fiona warned. “People with chronic illnesses can be moody and volatile.”

Bethan nodded politely.

When she first started treating James, his temper was intimidating.

But with her and Darnley’s efforts, James’ condition had stabilized, and he was now cooperative and manageable.

words, Hugh reappeared, pushing James out of the inner hall.

Bethan stepped forward. “Mr. Keating, heading back already?”

James nodded.

“I’ll see you out,” she offered.

Hugh’s sharp eyes fixed on her, his brow furrowing deeply.
