Stefan tactfully excused himself, leaving the siblings alone as the conversation turned personal.
Despite Raegans reassurances, Ericks concern lingered. Its not physical? If you dont want to see

the Clifford familys doctor, Ill take you to someone else. Well find someone youre comfortable with.
As he spoke, Erick gently took Raegans arm, guiding her toward the door.
No, Erick. I just saw Katies uncle, Davey. Thats all.
Ericks brow furrowed in concern, What happened, Raegan? Did Davey say something to upset you?
Raegan shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. No, Erick. I was simply terrified when I saw him. His gaze sent shivers down my spine, and I feel like Ive seen him somewhere before But I cant quite place where.
Seen him before? Erick didnt know much about Davey, but he thought it was unlikely Raegan had met Davey before. Davey had been Living abroad for years. It seemed improbable that their paths had crossed even when Raegan was a child.
For all these years, Davey had been absent from Ardlens. Despite being a member of the Glyn family, Daveys relationship with his relatives appeared strained.
Raegan, are you exhausted and overwhelmed? Has the stress become too much to bear? Erick thought Raegan was tired and needed rest.

Raegan was escorted to the room to rest by Victor.
Ericks expression turned thoughtful, his brow furrowed in concern as he replayed Raegans words in his mind. He summoned the surveillance footage from the scene.
The surveillance footage was grainy and, due to the angle, failed to capture Daveys facial features with clarity.

Daveys gaze had been fixed on Raegan and Bryce as they departed, his attention lingering on them even after they had left the frame.
Ericks eyes narrowed, lost in thought.
Although Davey kept his distance from the Glyn family, as Katies uncle, he would naturally feel a sense of Loyalty and sympathy toward Katie, given their familial bond.
The investigation into Katies death had been concluded, and the forensic report had determined that the fatal injury was a lip laceration inflicted by Lorenzo. Tragically, Katie had not received prompt medical attention, leading to a fatal respiratory arrest caused by uncontrollable coughing.
Furthermore, Katie was not just an innocent victim. She was also a suspect in several other cases. The prosecution had uncovered evidence at her residence, suggesting her involvement in various illegal activities. However, with her passing, the investigation into her additional roles and responsibilities was forced to come to a close.
However, Katies criminal activities would not be swept under the rug.
They had been thoroughly documented and remained on record.
The prosecution kept Raegans and Mitchels identities secret to protect them from harm.
