Left with no other choice. Nora finally agreed.
Alex, now beaming with excitement, followed her heagerly. The moment they stepped inside, he took in his
surroundings with curious eyes. Compared to the grand villa he was used to, the apartment was undoubtedly
much smaller, but it was enzy The faint scent of fresh laundry mixed with the fragrance of her perfume, making
the space feel undeniably like *hee*.
He nestled against her that night, hugging her tightly as he drifted off to sleep. It was the most peaceful rest he
had had in a long time.
The next day, after work, Nora received news that Grandmother's surgery had been successful. A quiet sense of
relief settled in her heart. She decided to buy a bouquet of flowers before heading to the hospital.
As she arrived, she spotted a familiar figure standing near the entrance.
*Linda.*
Their eyes met briefly, cold and unreadable, before they walked past each other without a word. They didn’t
need to speak-both understood the silent hostility between them.
On the VIP floor, Nora pushed the door open, stepping into the hospital room. But as soon as she did, her gaze
landed on three men inside.
Arnold.
Cole.
Charles.
Her eyes flickered with realization. If Linda had been downstairs, that meant they had likely arrived together.
Her lips pressed into a thin line. *Did she cup to visit Grandmother?* She doubted it. Grandmother had
never liked Linda, and if she had cin, it would have only made things worse.
As she took a step inside, Charles scoffed, his lips curling with a sneer.
Cole, in contrast, was more composed. Rising from his chair, he greeted her politely. “Nora.”
She nodded in return, but her mind was elsewhere.

otherwise sterile environment. She barely had a chance to speak before Arnold silently walked over, his
movements fluid and confident, and took the flowers from her grasp. His fingers brushed against hers for the
briefest moment, but Nora barely reacted.
She withdrew her hand and turned her attention toward her grandmother, who lay propped up against the
pillows with a tired but content expression.
“Grandma,” Nora greeted, her voice gentle. “How are you feeling today?”
Her grandmother’s wrinkled face softened into a small smile. “I'm fine, child. Don’t worry about me.” But then,
with that familiar warmth she always had for Nora, she immediately shifted to concern for her. “Have you eaten?

after work. Why don’t you have dinner with Arnold later?”
Nora's expression remained calm, but there was a slight stiffness in her postare. She knew this was another
attempt to push them back together, but she was long past entertaining such ideas. Keeping her voice polite yet
firm, she replied, | already ate, Grandma.”
Her grandmother sighed but didn’t insist any further. There was a knowing sadness in her eyes, as if she had
cto accept the inevitable-that no matter how much she wished otherwise, the distance between Arnold and
Hora was not something that could be mended over a meal
As tpassed, her grandmother began to grow tired. Taking that as their cue, the group prepared to leave. As
they made their way toward the elevator. Nora felt an unrelenting gaze on her. When she turned, her sharp eyes
collided with Charles's intrusive stare.
“See enough?” she asked coolly, arching an eyebrow.
Charles smirked slightly. “Almost.”
Nora scoffed and turned away, stepping into the elevator without another glance.
Arnold, Cole, and Charles followed behind her.
As they walked through the hospital
corridors, Charles leaned in closer to

Arnold didn’t respond immediately. Instead, his gaze remained fixed on Nora's retreating figure, as if searching
for something in the way she carried herself.
Cole, standing beside him, also remained silent, but his expression showed that he, too, was wondering the

“Mommy, Daddy said | can stay with you for the next two days!” Alex announced, his voice filled with joy. “So
how about we go out tomorrow morning after we visit Grandma at the hospital?”
Nora considered it for a moment. She had no pressing plans for the next day, and seeing the anticipation in

“Alright,” she agreed.
