Actually as seeing the ne, Yorick couldn''t help but imagine how Urs looked when she wore it. Something about seeing it on Ste stirred an unidentifiable emotion within him. "Why are you just getting back now? I asked you to pick up Star, didn''t I? And here she is, back on her own."


    Yorick cast another nce at Ste, his eyes finally drifting away from the ne around her neck. Imogen gently patted Ste''s hand, "Star, wait here for a moment. Rick and I need to talk."


    Ste nodded slightly, and Imogen shot Yorick a look, signaling him to follow her upstairs to the study.


    It was obvious they were going to talk about Urs. Imogen was clearly worried and felt the need to remind Yorick of her concerns.


    They were gone for about half an hour. When they came back down, both seemed calm, any previous tensions seemingly resolved.


    Imogen, with a smile, turned to Ste, "Ste, I''m going to check the kitchen. You and Rick chat for a bit."


    Before Ste could respond, Imogen had already left, taking the butler and the servants with her, leaving Ste and Yorick alone.


    Ste was still engrossed in a game on her phone, the sound of gunfire indicating she was ying a popr shooter game.


    Yorick couldn''t help but think how she seemed utterly clueless about everything else, engrossed in her game, and yet, somehow, she was deemed fit to be his future wife.


    He was about to say something when his phone rang. It was udia, causing him to nce at Ste, who was too busy with her game to notice.


    Deciding to take the call outside, Yorick stepped out, briefly forgetting Imogen''s stern warning about avoiding too much contact with the Larkins. Cloudia''s anxious voice sounded, "Rick, what are we going to do? The specialist who was supposed to treat Urs has gone abroad."


    "Which specialist?" Yorick asked, frowning.


    "The gynecology expert, that illustrious genius from Portis City, Tegan James."


    Yorick said, "I''ll find someone else. Don''t worry."


    To Yorick, Cloudia''s worry was unnecessary; he thought it was merely a doctor, plenty of renowned specialists out there.


    But Cloudia was frantic, "No, I''ve asked it. Others basically all need to resolve it by surgery. You know Urs''s current condition. I heard Tegan has superb medical skills, who can treat Urs without immediate surgery given the stage she was in." It required surgery in the heart, also in the liver; how could a mere body stand all those major treatments?


    As Cloudia learned of Tegan''s existence, she was relieved, thinking the less amount of surgery Urs took, the better. However, she knew untilst night that the professor had gone abroad today.


    "You said that specialist''s named Tegan?"


    Tegan, quite a familiar name, where exactly did he hear it?


    Cloudia replied, "Yes, a young prodigy. It''s said she''s very young."


    At the mention of "very young", Yorick suddenly remembered that Tegan was Ste''s close friend.


    "I''ll hand this."


    "Rick, I hope you can get this professor, you know Urs''s poor state right now."


    "Okay, I got it."


    Yorick directly hung up; the callsted for ten minutes.


    Yorick returned inside to find Ste finishing her game, looking pleased with seemingly a victory.


    She nced towards the dining room, noting the quiet atmosphere, and decided to start another round. That was when Yorick snatched her phone away.


    Ste looked up, "What are you doing?"


    "Tegan, she''s your best friend, right?"


    Ste asked, "So?"


    "Did you have something to do with her leaving the country?"


    Urs had just been sent to the hospital for emergency treatmentst night and did a check-up. The director convened a meeting overnight, forming her person medical team, and Tegan must have been a member. Right now Tegan was out of the country. For she was Ste''s best friend, Yorick wouldn''t believe Ste had nothing to do with it.
