As I watched Henry work, sorting the blood samples that had been taken from the children admitted that day, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He seemed so kind, so innocent, doing his duty, while I stood here, consumed with thoughts and suspicions when he had done nothing more than show me a ring.But if I didn't question it now, perhaps the doubt would consume me alive.“Oh, Dr. Weston,” he said, making me chew my lip nervously at being caught eavesdropping. “Hello. I think for once, I wasn’t the one who walked into a room where you were working, wasn’t I?” Henry laughed, and finally, I walked into the lab anteroom, forcing myself to sound casual.“I’m sorry, Henry. I didn’t mean to disturb you, I’m just passing through.”“Don’t worry, you could never get in the way. And I’m almost done here, anyway.” He shook his head, continuing to label the samples. “Do you need anything? Are you looking for any of Theodore’s test results?”“Uh… Actually, I’m just here to talk to you,” I f

It wasn't easy convincing Henry to accompany us to Michael's. Not that I could blame him. I, more than anyone, knew how much of a father-in-law that man could be, and after Henry's experience with him, it was obvious he'd want to stay away. He had a very well-structured life, after all, even after Alexander's death.Being in his apartment was a bittersweet feeling. I could tell he'd kept everything exactly as Alexander had, even after five years. The furniture was all solid wood, vintage, antique, and even had some signs of wear that had likely come from previous owners. But I could see the love he and Alex had put into every detail of the decor. Unlike Mycroft Manor, this was truly home. Perhaps the only place in the world where Alexander could feel like himself.And, knowing we could never be in that place with him had almost made me cry right then and there.If I was feeling that way, I couldn't even begin to imagine what was going on inside Connor. His expression was contorted wit

Looking back, I probably shouldn't have agreed to bring Theodore to Annie's grave. He'd probably cry, throw a tantrum, and not speak to me for a few hours, but maybe it was the best thing to do.Too bad I couldn't go back now.“Where’s Dad?” Theo looked around the moment we got out of the car, with Charlie following close behind “He said he’d be here with us!”“I know, sweetheart. But apparently, things at his job have been a little… Complicated lately.” I had to make a big effort to sound casual “Let’s be understanding with him, shall we?”“Because of Grandpa?” he asked, more curious than concerned.“Uh… No, of course not,” I lied, but I didn’t really expect him to believe me “It’s just… You know. Numbers and meetings. Boring adult things that people like your father are forced to do sometimes. So, it’s okay if it’s just you and me today.”“But I thought he wanted to meet your baby too.” Theo complained and I knew he wasn’t going to leave Connor alone about it when they met again.“Y

“What?” His words shouldn’t have affected me, but, as had happened my entire life, Michael knew just what to say to make me feel lost."You came here to attack your own father and whine about how I'm the big villain in your story. But then, so what?" he challenged me "Do you really think that making me the villain of this story will be enough for that girl?"“You fooled me!” I grunted “You fooled me just like you fooled her, you fucking son of a bitch!”"And you think it will make any difference to her if the truth comes out?" He snorted "I know you hate it, son, but we're more alike than you think. I know how you feel, because I've been there. I also made a terrible mistake that I knew would cost me the woman I loved." Michael looked away from mine "Don't fool yourself. You know there will be no going back if she finds out. She's a woman who spent years away from her son. You can play the victim to her all you want. Do you really think she'll believe it?"“You fuck…!” I growled. “You

I could have spent the day fighting a lion and probably wouldn't have been as tired as I was when I got home in the early evening.I could have gone back sooner, but I couldn't sleep peacefully without first tying up every loose end of that situation. That's why I'd gone to George's Hospital, the one where Theodore had been born. And he was very lucky he wasn't there, because I probably would have left him with a few broken bones. It wasn't easy getting into the administrative wing alone, but thankfully, Richard was there. I expected him not to believe me when I told him what his father had done, but... He did, very easily. And I could see on his face that it wasn't because he'd known everything all along.Apparently, Richard had long known what his father was capable of.So he made up some excuse and managed to get me into the file room where only his father and a few doctors were allowed. There were small files with detailed information on all the patients on his computer, but ther
