Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 447

The two partner family members sat in the small conference room.

One was Mr. Kingston, Kaylee's father, a finance professional dressed in a gray button-down, his hand gripping his phone like a lifeline. The other was Mrs. Nelson, Noah's mother. She looked utterly exhausted, dark circles heavy beneath her eyes, constantly zipping and unzipping the purse resting on her lap.

When Wren walked in, they both looked up at the exact same time.

In that split second, she didn't see anger in their eyes.

She saw sheer terror.

That was much harder to deal with than anger.

Anger could be reasoned with; it could be confronted, and evidence could be laid out on the table to talk it through. Fear was entirely different. Fear made people slam the door shut first, barricading out anything that could possibly hurt them.

Wren sat across from them, in no rush to speak first.

Phoebe stood by the door, clutching a stack of files, her expression incredibly tight. She wanted to step inside, but Wren gave her a subtle shake of the head.

Phoebe stopped in her tracks.

The more people present for this conversation, the more anxious the families would become.

Ultimately, Mr. Kingston spoke first. "Ms. Whitaker, we aren't here today to cause a scene."

"I know," Wren said.

He seemed to relax a fraction, only for his brow to furrow again quickly. "During Kaylee's time at Stellaris, her condition has genuinely improved. She refused to do her hand exercises before, and now she's at least willing to try. I'll give you that."

Mrs. Nelson lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"It's not that we don't trust you. But with everything online... none of us ever imagined things would turn out the way they did for Logan Lester."

Wren didn't interrupt.

Mr. Kingston placed his phone on the table. Displayed on the screen was a newly refreshed thread.

Langford Medical's internal access is a disaster. Were the complaint screenshots Stellaris received truly "anonymous"? Just how many people have eyes on the data for this children's rehabilitation project?

One of the comments read:

Today it's Logan Lester, tomorrow could it be the rest of the kids at Stellaris?
