“You have no idea the injustice and hardship G has endured because of that scumbag.” Kenny explained to Eira.
“The more you suffer, the more it becomes an unrelenting obsession,” Eira added, to bis Kenny wanted to argue but could not, silently agreeing due to his lingering attachment to his ex.
“Damn it…” he muttered to himself.
Eira held River and told Kenny, “Let’s take River upstairs to rest.”
Kenny stepped aside and watched as Eira assisted River up the stairs. He stood there, lost in thought for a long while before finally calling Paige.
Kenny sat down at the dining table while Paige answered his call.
Paige sounded groggy. “What’s up?”
“Paige, G is upset because of Noah again,” Kenny said, stirring his pasta but too distracted to eat.
Paige asked, “My boss? Why now?”
Kenny replied, “I’m not sure. She ment oned earlier that their relationship is over for good.”
Paige sighed. “River hasn’t moved on at all.”
Kenny asked, “What do you mean?”
Paige explained, “I don’t know the details, but it’s like losing a family member when someone who’s been in her heart for eight years suddenly disappears from her life.”
I “Noah is gone? Why didn’t I hear about this?’ Kenny exclaimed in a state of panic.
Paige scolded him, “You’re clueless!”
Kenny retorted, “You said it first!
Paige was frustrated. “What I mean is that they must have had a conversation earlier that made River believe their relationship was truly over!”
Kenny questioned, “How does that relate to losing a family member?”
“I don’t want to explain to you anymore!” Paige snapped.
Kenny tried to understand. “Can’t you elaborate a bit more?”
Paige replied, “I’m spending time with my boyfriend right now. I don’t have time to explain.”
Paige hung up, leaving Kenny even more bewildered.
Alex was lying next to Paige, and he sat up with a serious expression. “I might know why.”
Paige asked, “Why?”
Alex suggested, “It might be because of Daniella.”
Surprised, Paige said, “Daniella again? I’m curious why both of you are involved with her.”
Alex looked at Paige and said, “Do you really want to know?”
Paige nodded hesitantly.
“Then tell me about River and Neil’s relationship,” Alex demanded.
Paige evaded the question, saying. “Just as it’s described online!”
Alex narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Paige. “You’re lying, babe.”
Paige nervously swallowed and said, “I’m not!”
“Your eyes give you away. If you want to know about Noah and Daniella, tell me about River and Neil,”
Alex insisted.
Paige pulled the blanket over her head, exclaiming. ‘I don’t want to know anymore. Stop asking me! What you see is what you get!”
Alex frowned, wondering about Paige’s unusual reaction and the relationship between River and Neil.
The next morning.
Daniella drove to the hospital before sunrise.
She wouldn’t have woken up so early to visit Axel if Grayson hadn’t been keeping an eye on her.
She was exhausted from her act. She sat drowsily in the car until 6:00 am. before entering the inpatient department.
When she arrived at Axel’s room and opened the door, she was met with his ghostly pale face.
She was slightly taken aback by how much he resembled a lifeless body.
As Daniella was about to step inside, she heard Julian’s warning. “You can’t enter without Mr. De Marco’s permission, Ms. Love.”
Daniella was so startled she accidentally knocked on the door, waking Axel.
Axel was terrified to see Daniella and memories of her abusive behavior flashed through his mind.
He clutched his blanket tightly and turned away from Daniella, fearing his father would return and notice
Axel refused to let his father send Daniella away, especially with his upcoming surgery looming. He struggled to suppress the nausea rising in his throat.
Only when he heard Noah’s voice did Axel’s body finally relax.
“Come in, Noah invited Daniella, Daniella nodded and entered the room with Noah, feigning sadness when she saw Axel curled up on the bed.
“Is Axel not awake at this time?” she asked.
Noah glanced at Axel’s back, hesitated briefly, and replied, “No, he’s still asleep.”
“May I come closer to check on him?” Daniella asked.
Axel clutched the blanket even tighter.
“No, please stay here and leave whenever you want,” Noah said, Daniella waved her hand hastily. I’ll be fine. I sit here until he wakes up Axel’s heart sank. ‘I thought she was just going to drop by briefly. How long can I pretend to be asleep? I want to eat breakfast and gather energy for the day,’ he thought.
Bracing himself, Axel turned over and opened his eyes as if he had just woken up. He looked at Noah, controlled his emotions, and called out, “Daddy.”
Noah’s gaze softened. “You’re awake. The nanny just sent over some food. Would you like to eat?”
Axel nodded. I’d like to use the restroom first.”
*Let me assist you, Axel. You’ve been through a lot battling this illness,” Daniella offered, her eyes teary as she looked at Axel.
Axel briefly made eye contact with Daniella before lowering his head and saying, “Aunt Daniella.”
Daniella discreetly pursed her lips. Axel sure changes addresses quickly.”
Despite this, she maintained a gentle smile. “Let’s go to the restroom.”
Axel didn’t object but walked rigidly as Daniella led him to the restroom.
Daniella attempted to follow Axel into the stall, but Noah intervened. “You’re not Axel’s mother. You don’t
Daniella’s expression froze. I wouldn’t be following Axel to the toilet if I weren’t trying to show my care!”
She carefully closed the stall door for Axel and then turned to Noah, speaking softly. “Alright”
Meanwhile, at Bayview Villa.
Liora and Tyler woke River after their morning exercise. Liora knocked on the door. “Can I come in, Mommy?”
River sat up, still half asleep. “Of course, come in.”
Liora and Tyler entered the room and were concerned when they saw River’s tired expression.
Liora approached River and examined her cheek. “Does it still hurt, Mommy?”
River lifted Liora onto the bed with a smile and gestured for Tyler to join them. The two children sat across from River Tyler reached out and gently touched River’s cheek. Anger filled his eyes as he said, “That old man is awful, Mommy!”
River held the children’s hands tenderly, “I’m fine now. I feel better.”
Liora suggested, “Mommy, maybe you should learn martial arts from Eira to defend yourself when you’re in danger!”
Liora even demonstrated a stance.
“Silly girl, what kind of technique is that?” Tyler teased.
“It’s a non–material heritage technique, one I created” Liora proudly declared.
Tyler said bluntly, “That sounds pretty useless.”
“Hey! Don’t act like you’re so skilled! Who lost to me during our spar this morning?”
“I just didn’t want to hurt your feelings,” Tyler retorted.
Unable to win the argument, Liora turned to River and joked, “Mommy, can you put Tyler back in your belly and give birth to him again?”
River was amazed. She chuckled and asked, “Are you trying to make things hard for me, Liora had her hands on her hips. “I want to be Tyler’s big sister so I can tease him!”
Tyler lowered his gaze and said, “You can’t beat me in a fight even if you’re a year older.”
He looked at River and said, “Mommy, I need to tell you something”
“What is it? You look serious,” River said.
Tyler said solemnly, “Lia and I want to meet Axel.”
Liora nodded. “I miss Axel too, Mommy. Can we visit his house?
Lla?
