Gwendolyn White pressed her lips together, a sting of tears building in her nose.

When James heard about Briony's accident overseas, he immediately called his father and caught the first private jet back to Silveridge.

They ran into each other outside the main entrance.

James's face was dark. He glanced around, not seeing Stewart, and asked, "Stewart's not here?"

Cedric had only learned after landing that Stewart had already taken the child's body back to Northborough.

Word was, Stewart intended to bury the baby in the Wentworth family mausoleum.

But Cedric decided it was best not to mention that right now.

"He went back to Northborough."

James gave a cold snort. "Better that he's not here."

Cedric Clarke let out a long sigh. At this point, he honestly didn't know what else to say.

"Let's go inside and take a look."

James and Cedric hurried toward the inpatient wing.
