Aurora nodded in understanding. "You should talk to your father. I believe this could cause serious problems in the future. Despite your father's surgery, the doctor warned that without managing his stress levels, a similar incident might occur."

Claudia pressed her lips together. "I had the same thought. My father has never kept any secrets from me like this before. I'm worried that even if I talk to him, he still may not tell me the truth."

The two had always enjoyed a good father-daughter relationship.

Although it wasn't the first time Jace had kept something from her, this was the first instance where he had been so unyielding and obstinate about it.

That was why Claudia hadn't confronted Jace about it yet.
