Chapter 218
Shawn's thoughts drifted back to his wife’s migraines, which seemed to have
magically disappeared. He had noticed that she never complained about them
anymore.
Curiosity about where his daughter acquired her remedies did cross his mind, but
he respected her privacy. Shawn believed everyone had their secrets and saw no
reason to pry. The family. had missed seventeen years of her life, and now that
they were finally reunited, simply being together was enough. There was no need
for suspicion or doubt.
Shaking off his reverie, Shawn patted his belly reassuringly and asked with a hint
of levity. “You think your sister would do you wrong?”
Leo, caught off guard, instinctively shook his head.
“See? No need for all these wild thoughts. She'll share when she’s ready.” Shawn
had a knack for seeing the bigger picture.
His mind then wandered to Emmitt, prompting him to add with emphasis, “The
last thing we need in this family is distrust. It can hurt more than any outsider
ever could. Leo, I don’t want you holding any prejudices against your sister.”
Leo was taken aback to hear his father speak with such seriousness. Although it
was surprising, he listened intently and responded with conviction, “She’s got a
sweet temper, and she’s well-behaved. Why would I have any prejudices? And
even if she did have her quirks, she’s still my sister.”
“That's my boy!” Shawn said approvingly. Pausing, he corrected, “And for the
record, your sister doesn't have any quirks. She's a lot more dutiful than any of
you boys.”
Leo choked back a retort. “I was just making a comparison.”
Shawn gave him a sharp look. “Even so, no comparisons.”
“By the way.” Shawn continued, “why are you so free these days? Hasn't the
company got work. for you?” There was a detectable note of disdain in his voice.
Leo, now accustomed to his father’s insinuations to get out of the house, replied
with thick—skinned ease, “Yeah, they gave me an extended leave.”
Shawn squinted suspiciously. “You've been acting odd lately. Is something up?”
“Nothing, just felt like taking a break,” Leo said, keeping his composure.
Satisfied with the answer, Shawn dropped the subject. But his thoughts returned
to the
medicine his daughter had provided Leo, which was said to be priceless and
rare. What about his own?
Rubbing his chin, Shawn stood and retreated to his room, pondering.

The next day.
Mirabella had just arrived at school when an unusual Friday announcement
called for an all-school assembly. Typically, assemblies were a Monday affair.
The sudden change had the students whispering in confusion.
Soon, the entire school gathered on the field, with Mr. Hammond taking the stage
instead of his usual deputy, which was a rare occurrence.
Mirabella and Jenna stood at the back of their class.
