“I’ve got a video of Lucian visiting Verity’s kid at the hospital. Want to see it?”
Lowell picked up his phone, scrolled, and handed it over to Tarquin.
In the video, Lucian—masked and wearing a baseball cap—stood at the glass window of an isolation room.
Inside, Verity’s illegitimate son lay unconscious on the hospital bed, barely clinging to life.
Through the glass, Lucian watched him, wiping away tears now and then, his face full of worry and heartache.
Tarquin narrowed his eyes. “Have you checked if there’s actually a connection between Lucian and the kid?”
Lowell shook his head, keeping one hand on the wheel. “No. With you off the grid, we didn’t want to spook anyone. Axel’s been tailing him personally.”
Tarquin pressed on, “But Verity’s kid is a severe case. How did Lucian even get in to see him?”
Lowell explained, “Lucian paid off a nurse in the secure ward. She snuck him in.”
“When Dr. Benjamin found out, he didn’t want to make a scene. He downloaded the security footage and sent it to me to pass along to you. Said he’d wait for your instructions.”
“Lucian’s home now. You want to see him tonight?”
Tarquin thought for a moment. “Not yet. First, confirm if there’s any blood tie between Lucian and the kid. Get a DNA sample and run a paternity test.”
Lowell’s eyes widened. “You think Verity’s kid might actually be Lucian’s?”
Tarquin just said, “Let’s check first.”
