A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1273

Understanding his intent, she nodded. "I understand, Dad."

Elmer nodded back, pleased.

She was willing to listen. She was being a good girl.

After breakfast.

He sat in the lounge outside her hospital room with David Nash to catch up on his official board duties.

He had fallen behind on his government affairs because he had been so distressed over her disappearance.

Now that his precious daughter was alive and back by his side, his mood had vastly improved.

He was finally tackling his backlog of work!

Starla slouched lazily on the sofa. She had taken her phone off its silent mode for the day.

Her phone buzzed.

It was Herbert.

She answered. "Hello."

"I'm in Maxlandia," he said bluntly. "I know you don't want me bothering you, but I couldn't just sit back. I'm worried."

He was too anxious to stay away.

After all, there was no telling how much influence Susanna had over Yardley right now!

She had just been scrolling the news.

She saw the announcement about Yardley’s upcoming wedding next month to a Merlin woman.

Honestly, it surprised her...

"You saw the news about Yardley getting married next month, right?" she asked.

So the problem he was worried about probably wouldn't happen.

But he didn't see it that way.

"Your brother is a deeply calculating man. This whole thing might just be a smokescreen to protect Susanna!"

The fact that he kept her around using those methods...

Even with Yelchin blood on his hands, he still kept her by his side.

It proved his feelings for her weren't simple.
