Chapter 1198
While Fiona and Burl were waiting for the elevator, Elowen showed up and said, "Mrs. Solomon, Mr. Graham's research is top-notch. If you don't want another Aiden situation, you should..."
"Ms. Everhart, I noticed you have the same last name as Marisole. Do you happen to know her?" Fiona cut her off.
Elowen's frown deepened, avoiding Fiona's piercing stare.
"Why should I tell you?" Elowen, usually gentle, snapped back.
Fiona, exhausted from all the day's shocks, just ignored her.
The elevator arrived. Fiona walked in.
Elowen tried to follow, but Burl blocked her. "Fiona doesn't want to talk to you. Stay out!"
He closed the elevator, leaving only the sound of it descending.
"Is this the doctor treating Patricia?" Burl asked.
Fiona nodded.
Burl added, "I thought he was decent. This building's Kenny's, and Ashton even gave him a 30% rent discount! I'll tell Ashton to cut that, maybe even raise it by 20%! How dare he upset you!"
Fiona knew Burl was trying to cheer her up.
"Burl, I have a headache. Can you be quiet?" Fiona said, looking drained.
Burl nodded and shut his mouth.
He wasn't dumb. Anything making Fiona this tense and involving the Solomon Family likely had to do with Darwin. If a psychiatrist was associated with Darwin, it could only mean that Darwin had some mental issues.
Though Burl used to curse Darwin, he now hoped God would forgive his loose tongue and keep Darwin safe and healthy.
As they drove back, nearing Emerald Pool, Fiona asked Burl to pull over.
She sat silently, going through the document again and again.
Near midnight, Darwin's call came through.
"I'll answer and say you fell asleep," Burl offered.
Fiona shook her head, took a deep breath, and answered, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Is this your husband's phone?" a stranger's voice asked.
Fiona sat up straight. "Yes, it's my husband's. How did you get it?"
