It seemed disclosure would have to wait until tomorrow.
He would be there, standing at the entrance of Seamarsh Hospital, under the guise of Matthew, awaiting Stella’s arrival.
Stella dismissed the butler for the night, opting to remain at the hospital herself.

Clint offered a gentle smile, aware of the concern he’d caused her.
