I can visit her on behalf of the dean." "I'll cwith you then." "It's your birthday. Stay here and enjoy yourself. I'll go alone." Keegan sighed, "I can't relax here without you. Con, I'll drive." When they reached the hospital, Dillon Brook had already been taken to the emergency room. Shea Cheel was outside with her son, visibly relieved to see them.
"Shea, how is she?" Stella asked as she approached.

When she collapsed, water was still boiling in the kitchen, and she suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning. I didn't know initially. Bo won an award at school today and wanted to show it to Grandpa. When we knocked on her door and got no response, I felt something was wrong. I asked the management to open the door, and we found her unconscious on the floor. I immediately called 120 and then contacted you." Stella patted Shea's back. "You've been through a lot." "Don't mention it," Shea sighed softly, "She's really pitiful, sick and alone without any family or friends around. When I took her phone, I didn't even need to search for contacts. There wasn't a single emergency contact. I found the former dean's number in the call log." Stella remained silent.
Dillon was one of the suspects involved in the child swapping case years ago. Perhaps her current situation was karma at play, but even facing death, she had sgood intentions left, wanting to make amends for her past crimes. As one of the victims, Stella felt her dignity was in not kicking someone when they were down.
"How have things been between you these past few weeks?" Stella asked.
"At first, just like I told you, she was very guarded. When I first moved in, she barely responded to my greetings. I didn't dare to be too friendly. Every Friday and Saturday after dinner, I'd take Bo for a walk around the neighborhood. Bo is talkative and not shy. I remember she lives next door, so I often went to talk to her.
"She'd listen everytBo spoke. She hardly said a word herself.
Whenever I got close, she'd becdistant until a few days ago when my ex-husband's family cover, trying to take Bo away. Bo refused to go with them, and we ended up struggling in the stairwell. My ex-mother-in-law hit me, and Bo bit her leg. She pushed Bo away, and the child's head hit the floor. Dillon heard the commotion and cout. She threatened to call the police, and my ex-husband's family reluctantly left.

"She initially didn't want to accept, but maybe because Bo was there, she took them. After that, our relationship improved slightly. She'd greetwhen we met, but it was still limited. She's very guarded and doesn't talk much to me, but she gets along well with Bo. During our walks, she'd bring snacks for him, and Bo enjoys sharing things about his kindergarten with her. Today, he insisted on showing her his award. I can't imagine what would've happened otherwise."
Stella listened intently, deeply moved. "Why didn't you tellabout your ex -husband coming pyer? Didn't my brother have someone keeping an eye on them in the neighborhood? Why didn't they stop them?" "No, I deliberately had Mr. Saun let them in. Our relationship hadn't progressed, and I was getting anxious. I wanted to use this to pressure her a bit. It turned out to be effective." "That was too risky," Stella frowned, "You're still in the middle of a custody battle. What if they had resorted to violence and you had no one by your side? It could've been dangerous!"
"It's okay. If things got out of hand, Mr. Saun's people would've called the police. At worst, it would've been minor injuries/ No pain, no gain. If it En weren't for this incident, I probably wouldn't have been able to get close to her. You gavethis job, and Mr. Saun arranged for the top custody lawyer for me. You've helpedso much. I have to do something for you.
I really appreciate it." Stella didn't say anything, just hugged her briefly and whispered softly," Shea, you've donea huge favor. I'm really grateful."
Shea hugged her back, "If she wakes don't up later, you have to act like you don't me. She's know me. She's very guarded. If she finds out we're acquainted, you probably won't get any useful information out of her."
