Stella felt a renewed sense of determination. As long as Mr. Burton was willing to speak, everything was negotiable. Mr. Burton might have had a sharp tongue, but he was genuinely kind-hearted. Back when he learned that Keen had been born prematurely and was in poor health, he'd shared plenty of advice on how to nurture him back to strength.

"Mr. Burton, please go ahead," Stella said, ready for anything.

Mr. Burton glanced at her, his expression as inscrutable as ever. "You mentioned you play the violin, right? I have a number of elderly patients who are quite lonely.
