On the other side of the room, Mrs. Scarlet clutched Shea tightly in her embrace.
"Shea, do you know how sad | was when | heard that you were dead? Do you know how sad your brother was? Why didn't you tell us that you were alive?" asked Mrs. Scarlet.
After a barrage of questions, Mrs. Scarlet finally took a great long look at Shea. "Look at how skinny you look, it must not have been easy." "| fell ill. I might have died if not for Adrian, " explained Shea.
"Don’t do anything stupid in the future! You were always frail, god knows what would happen to you with that much blood taken from you. Do you know how worried your brother was?" asked Mrs. Scarlet.
"I'm sorry. I'll apologize to him when he's back," said Shea, her head hung low.

Mrs. Scarlet embraced Shea again, "Thank god you are okay. Thank god...” "Mrs. Scarlet, this is my brother. His name is Adrian, he is my brother by blood and he is very nice to me," introduced Shea.
"I know who he is. Avery brought him back before, | took care of him. He is just like you, a good person," said Mrs. Scarlet, thankful that he saved Shea.
"Adrian, feel free to stay with us," said Mrs. Scarlet to Adrian.
Shea pulled Mrs. Scarlet aside and whispered into her ear, "Mrs. Scarlet, I... | like Wesley. | want to spend the rest of my days with him." Mrs. Scarlet was shocked by her sudden proclamation of love, "Do you want to marry him?" Shea's face went bright red as she nodded.
"But your brother... Elliot..." "I'll tell him when he comes back. I'll beg him until he agrees. He would surely hope to see me happy too," said Shea.
"Does Wesley harbor the same feelings towards you? What if he doesn't like you the way you like him?" asked Mrs. Scarlet.
"If that's the case, I'll be happy being his friend," said Shea.
"Are you sure you like him? Or do you just like that he lets you do whatever you want? If he didn't agree to it, you wouldn't be sick in the first place," complained Mrs. Scarlet.
"Don’t blame him. | made him do it. He's very good towards me, that’s why | like him, " explained Shea.
"I have to sit down with him talk it through," said Mrs. Scarlet.
"Now, you have to go wash your hands," said Mrs. Scarlet as she led Shea to the washroom.
After dinner, Mrs. Scarlet brought Shea and Adrian to Elliot's mansion, and Henry and Cole followed suit.

"Mrs. Scarlet, they are my family. Now, you have no reason to stop us. If you are still adamant on stopping us, we can only call the police," said Cole.
When Mrs. Scarlet told Avery that she was taking them here, Avery already told them that under no circumstances could they let Cole and Henry see them "Call then! Call the police! They are your relatives, not your tools!" exclaimed Mrs. Scarlet.
"Tsk, Mrs. Scarlet. Don't make it seem like I'm an evil person. What do you mean tool? You wouldn't think that you have the ability to make decisions for the Foster family now, would you?" questioned Cole.
Shea finally came out with Adrian's help.
"Shea, I'm Henry, your brother!" said Henry.
Shea glared at them, "Even if we are related by blood, | don't see you as my brother, nor does Adrian. We are not bound by law to admit that you are my brother just because we share the same parents." "Shea, did Avery tell you to say this? This is her scheme, she is trying to separate us. You must not fall for her schemes!" exclaimed Henry.
"Henry, | know what you want. Sterling Group is Elliot's, there is no way in hell would | let you have it! I'm not stupid, nor am | a tool. If you think that you can somehow use me for your personal gain, you are more than welcome to try. We can see if you are smart enough to manipulate us!"
