To Love a Shadow To Be the Sun novel Chapter 365

Zane stood at the door, not moving.

Quincy Shelton glanced inside and asked, just loud enough to be heard, "Sir, are you going in?"

Both people in the room turned to look. Ryan quickly buttoned his shirt and stood up. "Uncle Zane."

Zane finally walked in. "Are you all right?"

Ryan took the jacket Elara offered him. "How hard can Aunt Fiona hit? I'm fine."

"So, did I come at a bad time?" Zane asked, his tone unreadable.

Ryan was taken aback.

Elara, avoiding Zane's gaze, straightened Ryan's shirt and led him toward the door. "Are you going to the office or home to rest?"

"The office. If I go home now…"

Elara smiled. "You were brave enough to stand up to Fiona for me, but you're afraid to face her alone?"

A bitter smile touched Ryan's lips. "My father told me to respect her."

Elara walked him to his car. "Even though the skin isn't broken, you'll need to change the dressing. Do you know where to go for that?"

Ryan nodded. He would go to his mother's place at Celestial River Estates. He was about to get in his car when he turned back and grabbed her wrist. "I know you moved into the estate to investigate," he whispered. "But I don't think it was Mrs. Lawrence."

Elara raised an eyebrow.

"I've had my people watching her," Ryan explained.

"Go to the office and apologize to your father first," Elara said, pulling her hand away.

As his car drove off, she turned to face the man standing under the hospital awning. Zane's expression was grim.

Elara walked up to him and sniffed the air around him.
