Chapter 513

With that, any hope for the Hendricks family to turn things around would be gone.

Nate stood motionless, too afraid to speak.

Uriah turned his gaze toward Madeline. “You must be Sharon’s former mother-in-law?”

The moment Madeline saw the way he looked at her, she understood that he hadn’t come with friendly intentions.

He had come to settle a score.

Her expression stiffened. She forced a brittle smile and nudged Theo forward. “Mr. Malcolm, this is Sharon’s son. His name is Theo ”

Theo offered a polite greeting. “Hello, Mr. Malcolm.”

Uriah acknowledged him with a brief nod, but his attention was already drifting elsewhere.

“I have to say,” he murmured, “I owe meeting Sharon to you, Madeline.”

Madeline blinked, caught off guard. “Owe it to me?”

He nodded slightly. “Yes. If you hadn’t suffered from those persistent headaches, Sharon wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to find me. To help you, she came to me month after month, asking for medicine. It took six months of pleading before I finally agreed.”

“How is the medicine working for you?” he asked.

Her doctor had said the decades-old illness was nearly cured. With some emotional regulation and additional supplements, she could keep it from recurring altogether.

She spoke before thinking. “Your medicine works very well.”

Uriah’s eyes shifted to Theo.

“You’re Theo, right? Do you know-when your mother was collecting herbs to make a special spray for you, her hand got cut. That scar’s still there.”

Everyone instinctively looked at Sharon’s hand.

Sure enough, a faint scar ran across the back of it. But no one had ever really noticed it before.
