Chapter 502:
Billy promptly responded, “Mr. Moss, I’ve already dispatched someone to look into it p>
They learned that the man who had hurt Brenden was named Glenn Schneider. He preyed on young women who were alone in bars, slipping drugs into their drinks and taking them to his residence to assault them.
He had gotten away with it multiple times.
Yet, for various reasons, his victims were too afraid to come forward or file reports with the authorities.

Emboldened, Glenn sometimes collaborated with others on his hunts. Now, apprehended by the police, he faced prosecution once the evidence was fully gathered.
Wesley instructed, “Ensure the attorney stays on top of this p>
Billy nodded respectfully. “I’ve already contacted Benedict p>
While awaiting medical updates, Wesley had Billy notify Brenden’s parents.
Neither of them arrived; instead, Loretta received the message.
Gabriela joined her.
By chance, Stewart was still at Gabriela’s villa and offered to drive them. Loretta had misunderstood, believing Wesley was the one who was hurt, which filled her with dread.
As soon as she entered the car, Loretta’s hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
She murmured, “Wesley’s heart gave out once before, and the doctors barely saved him. After a few peaceful years, why is misfortune targeting him again?” Having lost her husband in her middle years and her daughter later on, Loretta’s only remaining family was her grandson, Wesley.
Clinging to Gabriela’s hand with desperation, she whispered over and over, “Please, he has to be okay p>
Gabriela, feeling Loretta’s terror, fought back tears.
Her own anxiety surged.
She hadn’t yet revealed to Wesley that he had a son.
Steeling herself, she comforted Loretta. “Try not to worry too much. He will be fine p>
Stewart, overhearing the quiver in Gabriela’s voice from the driver’s seat, quietly pressed the accelerator harder.
They soon reached the hospital.
Outside the emergency room, Billy stood alone, keeping vigil.
Loretta staggered forward. “Where is he p>
“He is still in treatment, Mrs. Larson. Please stay calm,” Billy said, steadying her.
Just then, Wesley approached from the corridor, having finished a phone call. Spotting Gabriela and the others, he looked surprised. “Grandma? What are you doing here p>
Gabriela, hearing his voice, spun around in a panic and rushed to him. She grabbed his arm. “Wesley, are you okay? Where are you hurt? Why are you walking around like this? Where is the doctor? What did they say p>
Seeing her fear and concern, Wesley froze, then realized she thought he was the one injured.
His throat tightened, and in a low, husky voice, he said, “I’m fine p>
Tears spilled from Gabriela’s eyes as she stepped forward and hugged him, overwhelmed with relief. “Thank God p>
Her hands had trembled the entire drive, gripped by fear. Now, seeing him unharmed, her heart eased, and she could only hold him and cry. Stewart watched Gabriela’s tight embrace, his eyes narrowing slightly. She held Wesley so fiercely; her feelings for him were undeniable. Despite his engagement, her devotion hadn’t wavered.
The realization stung Stewart, his fist clenching at his side.
His earlier post mocking Wesley now felt foolish.
Wesley held a place in Gabriela’s heart he could never touch.
Wesley’s heart stirred as Gabriela clung to him. Instinctively, he wanted to return the embrace.
