Amelia, who was pregnant, had insisted oning to see Bella, but everyone forced her to stay at home, leaving Steven to take care of her.
Seeing Bella nestled in Grant's arms, everyone was momentarily stunned. The room fell silent.
"Dad..." Bella's eyes were brimming with tears as she struggled slightly against Grant's broad chest, unable to get up. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, making it seem as if they were lovers caught in a private moment.

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
Though the Thompson family resided in Hatchbay, they were still one of the top-tier families.
They were just as familiar with the gossip of Savrow's upper circles as anyone else, especially the kidnapping case from 20 years ago, which had been the talk of the town.
They knew well the damage Grant had suffered in that incident, leaving him dependent on a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Yet here he was, standing, appearing no different from a healthy man.
At that moment, Clarice hurried back and was surprised to see Grant caring so gently for Bella.

Their eyes met. Axel's gaze was sharp and intense.
Perhaps due to his many years as a prosecutor, Axel had a remarkable ability to perceive details. He could not shake the feeling that this stranger seemed oddly familiar to him.
While a person's appearance and voice might change, there was one thing that remained constant-their eyes.
Axel's brows furrowed slightly as he made a mental note to investigate this woman.
"Mr. Salvador, please sit down." Clarice rushed to help Grant back into his wheelchair, her face full of concern. "You're still weak. It's best to be careful." Grant smiled faintly. "I'm fine."
