Rarely did Linsey offer second chances to those who broke her trust, even if Caylee’s actions weren’t unforgivable in the end.

A wry chuckle escaped Gorman. «I never meant for Zenia and Zander to go looking for Collin. All I wanted was for them to see Collin in a bad light and stick with me. Never in my wildest dreams did I think they’d stand up to Collin for your sake.»

«You really can’t tell what kids will get into next,» Linsey agreed, a small smile tugging at her mouth. «They always find ways to surprise.»

The more they talked, the more bitterness crept into Gorman’s face. «You know, it’s only hitting me now that every single move I made since coming back to Grester just ended up bringing you and Collin closer.»

One eyebrow arched, Linsey answered plainly, «My heart never wavered when it came to Collin. Whether or not you tried to interfere, I still would’ve chosen him.»

A heavy sigh escaped Gorman as he tipped his head back, staring at the ceiling. «So, I’m about to leave, and you’re still rubbing it in?»

Linsey’s eyes didn’t leave him as she replied, «Let’s be honest, Gorman. If I’m a little harsh now, maybe it’ll finally help you let go.»

She paused, letting the moment hang between them, before continuing, «I hope your trip tomorrow is smooth. And if life ever brings you back to Grester, you can count on Collin, Zenia, Zander, and me to welcome you with open arms.»

For a moment, Gorman’s eyes shone with unshed tears. With a half-smile, he finally looked at Linsey and raised his eyebrow. «Maybe you don’t realize it, but Collin’s been working in the shadows to push my family out of Grester. Even if I wasn’t leaving tomorrow, he would’ve found a way to get rid of me sooner or later.»

Stunned by Gorman’s words, Linsey froze for a moment.

Observing her reaction, Gorman knew his words had struck a chord.

He pressed on, «Collin began laying the groundwork yesterday. As the founder of CR Corporation, with his cutthroat strategies, I’m certain he can dismantle my family’s influence in Grester within a week. He has effectively blocked any path for my return.»

With a soft sigh, Gorman forced himself to look away from Linsey. «You should go now. I know you weren’t planning to see me off tomorrow. After today, our paths won’t cross again.»

It took Linsey several moments to steady herself. She drew a deep breath, rose to her feet, and said, «Take care, Gorman.»

Gorman’s frame quivered slightly as he shut his eyes, listening to the sound of her footsteps gradually receding.

Suddenly, he called out, «Watch out for Joanne. Unless it’s unavoidable, don’t be alone with her.»

Linsey paused briefly, then responded, «Got it. Thanks for the heads-up.» A moment later, the hospital room door closed with a gentle click.

Gorman slowly opened his eyes, tears tracing paths down his face.

In truth, he had little to worry about.

Linsey was sharp—more than capable of handling herself.

With him gone, the biggest threat around her would vanish. At the very least, Collin would be there to protect her.
