Emyr was sitting at his desk when suddenly he heard the faint sound of the elevator dinging at a distance.
His brows knitted at the thought of someone’s unannounced arrival. But his expression changed when he saw Jason stepping out of the elevator.
"Dr. Clark." He greeted, noticing the urgent expression on the doctor’s face.
"Emyr," Jason’s eyes immediately found his, asking straightaway, "Aiden didn’t leave yet? He is still in his office, right?"
"Yes, sir is still there. Should I —"
Before Emyr could finish, Jason shook his head at him. "No need. I will walk there on my own." With that said, he didn’t wait another second. Walking straight, he headed towards Aiden’s office.
Emyr watched him from behind, not understanding what made the usual calm doctor so restless today. It was simply too evident in his expression.

Meanwhile, in his office, Aiden was working as usual when he heard his phone ring. Reaching his phone, he had just pressed to answer when, without a knock, the door of his office was pushed open from outside.
He frowned, but noticing Jason stepping in, the creases between his brows somewhat eased.

Jason took his cue and didn’t intensify the suspense anymore. Walking up to his desk, he extended the file he brought with him. "Take a look at this, and I will explain it to you."
Aiden eyed the file for a brief moment before reaching to take it. Flipping it, he skimmed through the pages, his gaze reading the highlighted texts and brackets.
Jason watched him, pulling a chair out for himself and setting himself comfortably on it. "We retested the chocolate Arwen had been having all these years, and this is what we found out," he began before slowly continuing, "and we found out that even though the chocolate did contain hints of the drug, it was not meant to harm Arwen."
The creases between his brows only deepened. He gazed up to look, and Jason nodded.
"You mean —"
