After tending to their wounds at the hospital, Brendan and Brielle drove straight to the detention center. Inside, dim yellow lights cast patchy shadows through the iron bars, filling the air with a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere.

Brendan and Brielle sat side by side outside the cold, hard metal bars that separated them from Kenneth like an insurmountable chasm.

Kenneth looked nothing like his former spirited self. His hair was unkempt, his face unshaven, and he had lost a lot of weight, with dark circles under his eyes.

His gaze was empty and lost; the sharpness and brightness he once had were gone, replaced by a deep emptiness and numbness. He seemed like a man stripped of his spine, emitting a heartbreaking air of decay.

This was the first time they had seen Kenneth in such a desolate state, and it was a painful sight; he had always been their pride.

From a young age, Kenneth had been handsome and charismatic, moving with an elegance and confidence that made him shine in any crowd, a true star of the Gray family.

But now, his disheveled appearance in front of them was heart–wrenchingly painful.

Tears welled up in Brielle’s eyes, her voice thick with emotion, “Kenn, how are you holding up in here?”

Brendan, too, fought back a surge of pain in his heart, “Don’t worry, we’ll get you out of here soon.”

However, unlike Brendan and Brielle’s emotional reunion, Kenneth felt incredibly uneasy and guilty at the sight of them.

He kept his head down, his eyes darting nervously, dreading that they might ask about Elaine. But as always, what he feared most soon came up.

After a few words of concern, Brielle’s voice took on an urgent, anxious tone, “Kenn, tell me, has Elaine woken up?”

Kenneth’s heart sank, and his breathing quickened. “No, she hasn’t,” he replied, clearly lacking conviction.

But Brielle wasn’t convinced, her eyes filled with suspicion, “Really? You can’t lie to me and your dad, Kenn. We just came from the Brooker’s villa, and Felix said Elaine has woken up. She can prove that Lauren wasn’t the one who pushed her down the stairs all those years ago. Is that true?”

Kenneth’s face turned pale, a flicker of panic in his

eyes.

He knew he could no longer hide the truth, but he was too scared to admit it, so he stubbornly continued to deny it, “Mom, dad, don’t listen to Felix, he must be lying to you…”

Brendan’s expression darkened, his tone becoming stern, “Is Elaine being hidden by you?”

“I… haven’t.” Even now, Kenneth’s first instinct was to protect Willow.

In his eyes, Willow had always been gentle, kind, and understanding.

No matter what the truth was about the past, he firmly believed Willow was innocent. Otherwise, he

Brendan knew his son well. From Kenneth’s evasive demeanor and frantic eyes, he could tell he was lying.

“Whether Elaine is hidden by you or not, your mother and I can find out easily with a trip to the hospital. How long are you going to keep lying to us?” Brendan’s voice carried a mix of disappointment and anger.
