At these words, a shadow passed briefly over Neville’s eyes.
The mood around the table lost some of its earlier cheerfulness.
Stella attempted to revive the spirits. “Let’s focus on the positive.
Plus, I’ve finally shaken off that public criticism.”
Their glasses clinked in a unified gesture of optimism.
The dinner concluded on a cheerful note.
After the meal, Matthew and Stella lingered, strolling along the shore, their hands intertwined.
Walking on the beach, Stella felt a sense of immense relief wash over her.
She paused, closed her eyes, and inhaled deeply, embracing the peaceful moment.
Matthew admired Stella’s beautiful side profile and smiled slightly.
“We’ll have our wedding once you’re done with this film.”
Looking up at the sky, Stella sighed and said, “How quickly time passes. It’s nearly been a year.”
They sat together on the sand, enjoying the quiet.

Matthew rose, traversed a brief distance, and then turned back to his phone. “Proceed,” he instructed.
Fernando promptly divulged the intricacies of the investigation.
“after Benny’s disappearance, we diligently followed your directives and scrutinized the nearby hospitals. A witness reported a person matching his description there in Pinster Hospital.”
Pinster Hospital’s clandestine nature heightened suspicions of Benny’s presence within its walls.
Matthew’s expression changed as he asked, “Did you confirm with the hospital?”
