A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1296

Right now, he was willing to grant his daughter absolutely anything she asked for.

This was exactly why Yardley had been so desperate to see Starla last night when he realized Fairfax might be in trouble.

Just as he had suspected, Starla was the only one who had Elmer's ear.

His daughter had essentially come back from the dead; she was the apple of his eye.

Naturally, whatever she asked for, Elmer would provide.

"Thank you, Dad," Starla smiled.

Dad...

Hearing that word made Elmer's gaze soften even further.

He then shot a look at Luce. "Stay with her the entire time. Don't let any irrelevant people ruin her mood."

Luce nodded respectfully. "Yes, sir. Rest assured!"

Starla remained quiet.

Irrelevant people ruining her mood?

He was talking about Yardley, wasn't he? When she woke up earlier, she had seen the missed calls from him too.

Coupled with Susanna's frantic texts about Fairfax being unreachable...

It was obvious Yardley had come to the hospital looking for her last night because of it.

And Luce must have stopped him.

Hearing her father refer to Yardley as an 'irrelevant person', the smile on Starla's lips grew a little warmer.

...

After breakfast.

Starla left the hospital. She called Romy, and the two arranged to meet at the Hoggart family's private firing range.

When they arrived, Starla was surprised to see Jane Merlin there.

Unlike the polished elegance she had displayed the night before, today Jane was dressed in olive cargo pants and a black t-shirt.

It was a completely different vibe.

Yet even dressed down, her commanding presence remained unchanged. Her blonde hair looked especially striking.

It was true what they said—when someone was truly beautiful, even a strand of their hair exuded a unique charisma.

"Jane," Starla greeted her.

"Hello, sister."
