Just as she’d expected, the lights inside the bar were still on.

“Kieran?” Elena called out.

No answer.

She kept walking toward the private booths in the back-that was usually where Kieran crashed when he needed to rest.

As she reached the last door and raised her hand to push it open, it swung inward first.

e didn’t resist-partly because she knew she couldn’t get away, and partly because she was worried too th fuss might jostle Elena. Reluctantly, she turned back. “Alright, alright. You can let go now.”

Kieran in there?”

Yeah, he is.” Chloe dropped her gaze, her reply uneasy. Her voice was barely above a whisper.

“Then what are you doing here?”

“Why can’t I be here?” She sounded defensive, and guilty,

“Chloe.” Elena’s tone grew firmer.

Chloe let out a frustrated sigh. “Okay, fine. I’ll tell you. It’s just.. it’s nothing serious, really. Ever since what happened with his brother, the whole Morgan family’s been in chaos. He’s taking it hard. I was just worried he might do something stupid, that’s all.”

“Since when have you two been…” Elena trailed off, realization dawning.

The last time she’d visited Chloe, she’d noticed her acting strangely when she pulled out her phone.

So it was about Kieran.

talk to him.”

Chloe stepped aside.

Elena entered. Kieran was slumped on the couch, asleep. He looked exhausted, dark circles under his eyes.

Her expression turned complicated.

She hadn’t imagined the Morgans would be pulled into this. Quentin was Kieran’s older brother, after all. Hearing movement, Kieran stirred and opened his eyes. “You’re here.”

Elena took a seat across from him and cut straight to the point. “What’s going on? Is there any update from your brother’s practice?”

With that crowd gathered outside the clinic earlier, this wasn’t something they could just ignore by locking the doors and staying silent.

It was only a matter of time before the press traced it back to the Morgan family.

“Don’t worry about it. My parents and Quentin are handling everything. It’s under control.” Kieran offered a careless smile, the same easygoing act as always, but Elena didn’t miss the unease in his eyes.

Kieran and Quentin had always been close.

If this really were “under control”, Haze Lounge wouldn’t be closed right now.

“What actually happened? Your brother’s a skilled surgeon, and his practice had a solid reputation. Why would there suddenly be so many malpractice complaints?” Elena pressed, genuine worry in her voice.

Kieran had always been good to her-like another brother, not so different from Gideon.

“I don’t know,” Kieran deflected, taking a swig from the bottle in his hand. “Seriously, Elena, don’t stress over this. It’s not your problem to fix.”

“Yeah… Elena, you should take it easy. You’re pregnant,” Chloe chimed in gently, trying to soothe her.

But for some reason, Elena thought she caught a flicker of panic in Chloe’s eyes as well.

Maybe.

Or maybe she was just embarrassed-caught here before she was ready to explain whatever was going on between her and Kieran.

That had to be it. Elena told herself.

“Fine. If neither of you will give me a straight answer, I’ll just call Gideon.”

Gideon was close to Quentin too. And as a med student on his way to becoming a doctor, he’d definitely know more about the medical side of things than she did.

She pulled out her phone to dial.

“Don’t Kieran sat up abruptly from the couch.
