The head nurse said, “Dr. Sterling is on vacation for a few days.”

Stevenson’s face fell, disappointment etched in his features. He asked, “Do you know when she’ll be back?”

“I’m not sure about that. Is there something I can help you with?”

“…”

Stevenson hesitated, words catching in his throat. At that moment, Judd approached. “She’ll be back in a few days, Mr. Donovan. If you need anything in the meantime, you can come to me.”

“This is one of our specialists,” the head nurse added with a smile. “Anything Dr. Sterling can handle, Dr. Carstairs can take care of as well!”

Stevenson forced a stiff smile. “It’s not about a medical issue… Never

He turned to leave, moving slowly. Judd narrowed his eyes. “Is it about your daughter?”

Stevenson froze mid–step.

She walked straight to the car and knocked on the window.

The rear window rolled down slowly, revealing the silhouette of a man.

“Mr. Howard, you wanted to see me?”

“You went to see a lawyer today, didn’t you?”

Charlotte’s expression faltered for a moment, but she managed a strained smile. “I did. Unfortunately, Mr. Howard, you have such a fearsome reputation that no one wants to take my case.”
