[ Tuesday,12th May ]

𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙮'𝙨 𝙥𝙤𝙫

Unfortunately, after 14 days spent having fun, I returned to reality, in fact we were all (or almost all of us ) back in Toronto.

It was nine o'clock on a Tuesday and I was in my studio, I was supposed to follow a case of attempted murder by a son against his father, the mother had contacted me and was a witness, apparently the son had rebelled after years of abuse and therefore I should have made sure to get the minimum sentence for self-defense for him.

She contacted me a day before I returned to Canada, and I was very impressed by this case, I know well what it feels like and I wanted to give peace to this mother and this boy.

I hadn't done anything with Duncan anymore, I only spoke to him if strictly necessary and I made sure I wasn't alone with him in Menton anymore.

As I was reviewing some documents on the investigation my phone lit up letting me know that I had received a message.

Unfortunately, it was from Duncan, I didn't even want to open it but after a few seconds having seen the preview I changed my mind.

"Award-winning TV presenter Blaineley Stacy Andrews O'Happelloran was recently hospitalized for internal trauma thought to be linked to her appearance on the famous reality show Total Drama:World Tour.."

These were the first lines of the article that Duncan sent me.

I was immediately interested in the topic, in fact I forwarded the message to Gwen who read my mind.

We would have meet at two in front of her art gallery and we would go to the hospital where Blaineley was hospitalized to see if it was possible to visit her, I wanted to know every single thing about the report, I wanted to know if Chris was involved.

After a while unfortunately Duncan wrote to me again.

<Are you going to visit
her?
9:28
<Yeah I'm going with
Gwen later
9:34

And he didnt answer me.

I sighed and looked back at the various papers in front of me.

I was parked in front of Gwen's gallery in my car and since it was two o'clock I was still eating, in fact I had a vanilla milkshake and a sandwich placed on the seat next to me.

After a while Gwen arrived accompanied by Trent who worked with her.

<Hey Court> he told me when he opened the door for his girlfriend and the latter entered my car.

I waved back as I took a bite of my sandwich.

<Let me know how it goes okay?> he asked again.

<Yeah sure,see you later my love> Gwen replied waving at him.

Fortunately the hospital was not far from the gallery, in fact the journey passed quickly.

Gwen was rereading the article as we talked.

<She had already been hospitalized years ago... is it possible that they never talked about it until now..?>
<Chris probably paid them or forced Blaineley to lie, I wouldn't be surprised>
<No me neither, it says here that Blaineley has various damaged tissues and that she can't even stand up..> she noted.
<They may have omitted many details... I don't know, I hope they let us in> I replied as I parked the car in front of the hospital.
