Faye was brought to her previous private doctor for her care. Her foot was encased in a cast as she lay on the bed, idly staring into space. Upon hearing the door open, she looked up and saw her long–awaited son.

Elijah gently touched Faye’s leg, and she immediately cried out in pain. Observing her

“What happened? How did you fall for no reason?”

Faye, appearing aggrieved, was about to explain when she noticed Ford behind Elijah. “Dear bodyguard, it’s been so long since I’ve seen my son. I’d like to have a private chat with him. It won’t take long, is that alright?”

Ford hesitated for a moment but did not move.
