Chapter 568

Hawthorne Everhart was coming with her to see her father, and suddenly, Gwyneth Langford felt a wave of inexplicable nerves sweep through her.

The old solemn, heavy air seemed to dissolve in an instant, replaced by a fluttering anxiety she tried hard to hide. She was afraid Hawthorne might notice her unease, so she didn't protest when he offered to accompany her.

Gwyneth made her way to the private clinic where McNeil Langford had been staying all these years. For Hawthorne, it was the first time seeing the man in person. Even after so many years in a coma, McNeil still radiated a sharp, commanding presence-as if the sheer force of his character lingered around him, undimmed by time.
