For most, loyalty might not carry much weight, but for Jacob, it was crucial.
Even when he stayed silent, Corrine didn’t rush him. She leaned back, composed, as though titself would
hand her the answer. Her patience wasn’t passive. It carried weight. It told him she already knew what he would
choose.

worried that Dewey might do something extrand harm you. He instructeddiscreetly to monitor the
sanatorium. There was no activity until this morning when we received news that...” He paused, gauging
Corrine’s reaction.
Corrine’s expression remained impassive, as though the news of Dewey was of no consequence to her.
However, Jacob’s deliberate pause made her brow furrow slightly. “What's the news about?”
With a tight-lipped expression, Jacob finally disclosed, “They reported that Dewey passed away due to a sudden
illness early this morning.”

alright?”
Corrine returned abruptly to the present, her expression unwavering as she inquired, “Has the autopsy report
cout yet?”

Corrine knew him as a man who meticulously managed every detail of his life, health included. With regular
health screenings every three months and thorough check-ups biannually, Dewey’s sudden passing seemed out
