Crossroads

Chapter 123

Stephanie returned to Wellington Villa and realized that George hadn’t come back yet.

“Mr. Wellington is still at Serenburg Hospital…” Brad said as he instructed the staff to prepare some oatmeal for her, briefly explaining they situation.

“Is he feeling unwell?” she asked.

Brad didn’t elaborate, simply saying, “Have some hot oatmeal and then have a rest in your room. The time difference must be hard to stand.” He turned away quickly as if he had something urgent to attend to.

Stephanie stood by the dining table, wanting to ask more, but Brad was already out of sight.

She had no appetite and only nibbled at her food before heading to her bedroom.

She remembered Vincent mentioning that George was very angry. Due to the recent turmoil in the company, George had decided to let Dominick handle it himself, refusing to deal with the mess.

Having slept on the plane, Stephanie wasn’t tired.

The air and environment in Serenburg were great, but she always felt more comfortable and at ease at home. Somehow, Wellington Villa had started to feel like her home.

She curled up on the small sofa in the bedroom and turned on the TV with the remote.

To her surprise, a live press conference was being broadcast on the news channel, and the man at the center was Dominick, addressing rumors about a recent car accident.

“It’s his first time appearing so publicly, and he looks like so unwell,” Stephanie muttered as she watched. Dominick had a fractured right shoulder blade, and his right arm was held in a special brace.

Even as a patient, Dominick’s cold demeanor made it clear he was not someone to be trifled with.

‘George must be really angry,‘ she thought, frowning slightly. George, despite his stern face, was very fond of Dominick. Yet he had let his injured grandson face the public himself.
