Remington's brow furrowed slightly, his lips pressed together in a thin line.

"Remington? Are you listening?"

Stella received no response, her anxiety growing alongside the sound of something crashing to the ground.

Remington asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Did you fall? Has the doctor arrived yet?"

"The doctor should be on his way, I guess."

"There's a doctor coming... they'll take care of it..."

As Remington flipped through the documents and signed his name, Stella interrupted him, her voice breaking into sobs.

"Remington, my dad's been really sick lately. He just fell asleep after his IV, which has some sleeping meds in it. He's out cold now. I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't serious..." Remington tapped his pen on the desk, his voice cold.

I've done more than enough for the West family, even at the expense of Liz's feelings. How did your mother repay me?"

He had spared the West family's child, yet Luna went out of her way to seek retribution, endangering his wife and child. Remington's voice was cold and filled with loathing.

Stella seemed frightened by his icy tone, letting out a loud crash.
