A momentter, Doreen mentioned, I just ran into Mr.


    rk in the hallway.


    Ste paused, her expression unreadable.


    Lindsay has her rehabilitation session today, she stated calmly.


    Realizing her blunder, Doreen bit her Lip and fell silent.


    She watched as Ste dug through her bag for something and realized she had forgotten to hand over a pen.


    She hurriedly grabbed a pen from her bag and ced it in Stes hand.


    I just remembered I hadnt given you a pen.


    Ste took the pen, murmuring, Ive misced my pen. Would you mind checking at the officeter to see if I left it on my desk? Its a fountain pen with my name on it.


    Doreen nodded eagerly.


    Of course, Ill search for it as soon as I return.


    Wasting no time, Ste handled the documents and asked, How are we doing with the orders after the Launch event? Doreen responded with optimism, Everythings proceeding well, and Sanford has sent over some extra fabrics.


    Ill be extra careful with them this time.


    Ste gave a nod of approval.


    Excellent, just make sure theyre well looked after.


    Doreen, feigning casual interest while her curiosity about Dexter simmered, casually brought up the warehouse fire investigation with Ste.


    Have there been any developments in the warehouse fire investigation? Its aplex case, but Dexter is still on it, Ste answered. Seizing the moment, Doreen asked if she could contribute.


    Avoiding Stes scrutinizing look, she admitted, Im really sorry for thepse that nearly cost us so much.


    As a way to make amends, Id like to help with the investigation.


    Understanding her intent, Stes expression softened, and she agreed.


    Alright, Ill get in touch with Dexter and see if you can assist him A nurse dashed toward the entrance of Clints hospital room, her tone brisk and professional as she announced, The time hase for the patients check-up.


    Upon the nurses interruption, Ste swiftly turned to Doreen, her voice tinged with urgency.


    Could you please take these documents back to the studio? Its essential that I stay here to assist Grandpa during his check-up.


    Doreen acknowledged with a firm nod, her hands deftly gathering the scattered documents.


    Doreen had just wrapped up and was preparing to leave for the studio when Ste suddenly recalled the incident at the store entrance from yesterday. Oh, Doreen, would you mind stopping by the store on your way? I might have Left my pen there when I dropped my bag at the entrance yesterday.


    Perhaps check the security cameras to see if it was picked up? Ste directed calmly.


    Absolutely, Ill inspect the area thoroughly, Doreen assured, her tone reassuring.


    She walked out of the hospital, Leaving Ste to return to the room and apany Clint to his check-up.


    At the same time, Matthew and Fernando made their way to the hospital where Ronan was treating Lindsay.


    During the drive, Fernando filled Matthew in with a cautious tone.


    The Wheeler family has returned, yet Robin remains.


    With a faint nod, Matthew acknowledged the statement but chose to stay silent.


    As they pulled up to the hospital, Lindsays bodyguard arrived at almost the same moment.
