Noreen considered the question for a while before answering, "I don't think so."
First, they had nothing to do with each other anymore. She had no reason to go, nor was there any need. Second, even if she did go, it wouldn't change anything. If he was truly guilty, he had to face the consequences. If he was innocent, the law would clear his name.
Henry seemed to let out a breath of relief. "You're right not to go. This case has enormous implications and is incredibly wide-reaching. Anyone visiting, aside from immediate family, will be monitored. It's a huge hassle."
Noreen knew things were serious, but she hadn't realized to what extent.
Henry continued, "You were also lucky you left Aurelion Group and cut ties with Seth when you did. If you had waited another six months, you'd probably be facing a long and rigorous investigation yourself. I heard the entire finance department at Aurelion is still cooperating with the authorities."
After he finished, a long silence filled the car. Noreen stared out the window at the passing scenery, her thoughts a mystery.
Healy and Jude had to submit an application a month in advance to visit Seth. Only after passing through multiple layers of review were they granted the opportunity.
This was the first time they had seen him in eight months. He was thinner, and his hair had been shaved into a buzz cut.
He should have been dejected and depressed, but he appeared remarkably calm. Even the sharp intensity that once defined his gaze was gone. There was only tranquility.
Jude's heart sank. He wondered if Seth had been broken by the ordeal, if that was why he was reacting this way. A look of pain crossed his face, and he tried to think of something comforting to say.
