“Grandpa!” Stella’s patience was fraying.
“This time, you have to listen to my advice. Come with me to Seamarsh for a comprehensive medical evaluation. Once you’re well, we’ll return to Bysea.”
Clint shook his head again.
“I’m already an old man. A trip to Seamarsh would be both time-consuming and costly. I don’t wish to impose on you or Maverick. Have the butler stay here and keep an eye on me.”

She inhaled deeply, regaining her composure. In a gentle, measured tone, she asked, “Will you listen to me this time? If you agree to go to Seamarsh, Maverick and I can mend our relationship.”
At that, Clint’s eyes sparkled.
“Is that the truth?”
Stella nodded solemnly.
“Yes, but you have to accompany me to Seamarsh for proper medical care.”

“Mr. Anderson, nice to meet you. I’m Matthew’s aunt.”
Clint’s eyes widened slightly, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He had a faint inkling about Charlene’s unexpected appearance and the possible intentions behind it.
