The DNA results were in-Irwin and Randolph's father shared no blood relation. Stewart had been holding himself together ever since learning the truth.

During those three days in Westenmar when he visited little Mario, he'd seemed perfectly fine, showing no sign that anything was wrong. But right before he returned home, he made a stop at Dr. Riley's office.

It was there, with Dr. Riley, that Stewart suffered another episode. If Dr. Riley hadn't been present, Stewart might not have made it through that day at all.

No one else knew about this except Carl, Dr. Riley, and Cedric Clarke.

After a week of secret treatment, Stewart instructed Carl to take Irwin to Westenmar.
