Chapter 40: The Aftermath
At Lancaster Ancestral Mansion Without hesitation, Rock had a glint of amusement in his eyes as he asked, "Do you think something happened between those two?"
Ben shook his head before handing him a cup of freshly brewed tea. "Xander will get mad if he finds out you trapped him in like this."
"It’s not like I was the one who drugged my daughter-in-law!" Rock shrugged with a snort. His face then darkened as he added, "Still, whoever that bastard is, he’ll pay for it."
It was simply a foregone conclusion. Rock had been with Dr. Lambert for a private check-up when Tyron called, telling the doctor that they were on their way to the hospital to bring in Mrs. Rain Lancaster. He had described in detail how she had been drugged. Thanks to this information, Dr. Lambert was already prepared by the time they reached the emergency room.
From a distance, Rock observed his son carrying Rain in his arms with worry evident on his face. Alexander never left her side, his hand tightly holding hers while gently caressing her cheek.
"You’ll be fine," Alexander murmured to her. "I’m here, and you’ll be fine."
Alexander was so focused on Rain that he didn’t even notice his father nearby. Watching this, Rock became increasingly certain that his son’s feelings for Rain were more than just concern. Clearly, they were growing into something much deeper.
It was a good thing to see. Alexander had always been a reserved and aloof man. Rock knew this well, having raised him and his brother William alone after their mother Alexa died.
