However, the fact that there was a change in her emotional state could mean a breakthrough that could bring down her emotional walls.

Holden was curious as to what could've caused this stir in her mind. Despite the happy news, he couldn't help but feel guilt overshadow his heart as he was unable to witness such a turning point in his daughter's state. He was helpless at the hands of his busy schedule, which restricted him from spending time with Adele.

Instead of him, it was Sadie who spent the most time with Adele, so if something or someone new had appeared in Adele's life, she should know about it.

As realization struck him, Holden felt his heart sink with remorse. He was not a good father.

The doctor handed him a business card and said, “Here, take a look at this. In Melcorn, there is a children's charity organization, and they have this exceptional physician, Dr. Edwards. She has a reputation for handling cases Like Adele's with marvelous expertise. Maybe you should consider taking your daughter to her."

Although Holden did take the business card, he looked at it with uncertainty, as he was not the kind of person who easily placed trust in newly established organizations.

The doctor noticed the skeptical look in his eyes and reassured him, "You don't have to decide right away. I'll show you the cases that Dr. Edwards has dealt with, and then you can decide what is deemed best for Adele."

Holden nodded and quietly left the room.

Back in his study, Holden laid back his head and massaged his temples out of exhaustion.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and Devin came inside with a cup of warm coffee.

"Sir, take a break for a while, you must be tired."

Since Holden took full control of the Fredrick Group after Aldus' passing a year ago, Devin had become his confidant and stayed by his side.

Holden took a deep breath as he slowly opened his eyes and asked, “Where is Sadie?"

“She is in the guest room at the moment. I must tell you, sir, ever since she returned, she has been feeling very guilty," Devin responded.

Unfazed, Holden maintained a solemn expression as he continued to inquire, "I'm not quite clear on this. How did Adele come into contact with an allergen?"

“I am not certain how Miss consumed a drink with mangoes in it. By the time I had reached her, she was already having an allergic reaction," Devin replied.

They were both aware of the fact that no food containing mangoes was ever allowed on the top floor, anywhere near Adele.

That's why they were perplexed about how an allergen could have reached Adele, considering the stringent instructions in place.

They both contemplated the situation and after some time, Devin spoke.

“Miss Pierre has been the only one around Miss Adele. She probably knows what happened.”
