His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 92

Quentin said angrily, "That woman was obsessed with Stephen. She pursued him for ten years, but Stephen had spoken fewer than ten sentences to her. Her mental state didn't seem normal. I think she did that out of jealousy since Stephen was taken by Tessa."

Sophia's chest heaved with fury. "She's insane! If anything happens to Stephen, I won't let her off so easily."

Rowena frowned, casting a displeased look at Sophia. "Sophia, Stephen is still in the emergency room. How can you talk about what happens after? As his mother, how can you say something so ominous?"

Sophia's eyes reddened. "Rowena… I didn't mean it like that…" As she spoke, tears began streaming down her face again.

Caleb scolded her, "Stop crying! Our son is still being treated. Crying now will only jinx him."

Tessa was in no mood to listen to their quarrel.

To Tessa, every second felt endless and excruciating.

Guilt, regret, anxiety, and fear tightly gripped her. Her chest felt heavy, her heart ached, and even breathing became difficult. It felt as though she was drowning and suffocating on the brink of death.

…

Time slowly ticked by, and the sun gradually sank lower.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doors of the emergency room opened.

Sophia was the first to rush forward and ask the doctor, "Doctor, how is my son?"

The others also quickly gathered around.

"I will check on the investigation now."

After making a call, Caleb explained, "The assailant entered as Conrad Gomez's companion. The surveillance footage shows that she was wearing a face mask upon entry, claiming she had a cold. Since Conrad personally brought her in, the guards at the entrance didn't have her remove the mask."

"The Gomez family?" Ralph frowned.

Caleb continued, "The Gomez family explained that Conrad has been abroad for the past few years and only recently returned. He claimed not to know about the woman's obsession with Stephen."

Ralph's expression turned cold. "Their explanation sounds flawless, but this matter is certainly not that simple. Continue the investigation."

"Understood."
