Craig gave a smile, nodded, and walked away.

Everyone who came back from Solmaris had some kind of mental baggage. All were carrying something.

"Kelly, I just saw Craig. What was he doing here?" Darren was still on medical leave but clearly bored, so he came by to see her.

A teenager trailed closely behind him, clinging to his side like he couldn't bear to be separated for even a second.

"He came to apologize," Kelly replied with a faint smile, saying no more.

Darren frowned and asked, "After everything he's done, what good is an apology?"

Kelly shook her head and defended Craig. "After the incident with his dad, he changed a lot."

Darren didn't say anything to that. He just gave a quiet nod and sat nearby. "He quit the hospital, you know. No one could talk him out of it. Dr. Chasey's still trying and hasn't given up, but it's like Craig made up his mind-he's done being a doctor."

He looked at Kelly and continued, "While you were away, he cut ties with all of us. Melody and I tried reaching out plenty of times, but he ignored us. Later we heard he went into business-medical equipment, working with Lynch Group. A lot of people think he sided with the enemy, all about money now, no loyalty."

Kelly was rather surprised that Craig was working with Beau. She probed, "Craig's selling medical equipment for Beau's company?"

Then why did he tell me he was living off the compensation from his dad's death?

Craig had done it on purpose. He wanted her to know he had a reason for getting close to Beau.

"Yeah, word is Beau values him a lot. Even Juliet doesn't acknowledge Craig as her son anymore." Darren let out a long sigh.

Juliet Cooper was Tyson's widow. Tyson and Craig had gone to Solmaris together for five years. Juliet spent those years crying at home, hoping for them to return. But when her husband finally did, he passed away not long after.
