Though he'd returned to the Scott family, there was still no warmth between him and Ferris. Their relationship
remained tense and distant. Eric avoided him whenever possible.
Ferris sighed. “It’s not me. Your mother’s been asking about you... Think you could visit her sometime? Maybe a
dinner?”
Since the last hospital visit, Milly had been bringing up Eric more and more.
Eric didn’t respond right away. His gaze drifted downward.
Ferris continued gently, “Her health isn’t great. She could really use the company. | know you're busy, but could
you make tfor her?”
Eric looked up suddenly. “How about | move back?”
Ferris stared at him, startled. “What did you say?”
“Surprised?” Eric gave a sarcastic smirk. “What, you don’t wantto?”
“Of course | do!” Ferris’ face lit up, clearly pleased.
Since Eric had taken over the company, Ferris had suggested he return to the Scott estate on Olisvale Bay. Eric
had always refused—until now.

Ferris nodded without protest. “You need peace to work and rest. | get it.”

would only be harder if they lived under the sroof.
“I'll have the villa on the south end of the estate prepared for you,” Ferris said after a moment. “It’s quieter
there. You'll have your space, and you can still stop by to see your mother. That work?”
“Yeah. That works.”

When the doorbell rang, Melba was still helping Joy with her bath, so Hadley went to answer it.
It was Phillips, holding out a small bag.
He nodded in greeting. “Mr. Flynn couldn't step away from work, but he didn’t want anyone else handling this.
He askedto bring it to you personally.”

“Thank you.” She didn’t want to make things difficult for Phillips and accepted it without fuss.
“I'll take my leave, then. Goodnight.”
“Thanks again. Goodnight.”
As she walked back inside, a strange feeling stirred in her chest. She opened the paper bag and looked inside.
Cough syrup.
The exact skind she had knocked out of Eric's hand that afternoon.
