After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 197

Arnold exhaled slowly, gripping the phone tighter. This wasn’t just about STARLINE anymore. Leo was playing a dangerous game... one that could expose something far more explosive.

Leo knew.

And he was using it as leverage.

Arnold’s gaze darkened. He understood the unspoken threat behind Leo’s words. It wasn’t just about revenge or justice; it was a warning to him.

If Arnold tried to cover up the truth, if he showed even a hint of favoritism, Leo wouldn’t hesitate to reveal the real secret... Nora’s true identity.

If the public ever found out that Nora was, in fact, Luna, the backlash would be devastating. The scrutiny would be relentless, and it would inevitably drag Arnold into a position he didn’t want to be in.

He turned off the video.

Cody, standing beside him, hesitated before speaking. "What do you plan to do, Alpha?"

Arnold was silent for a moment, calculating his next move. Finally, he spoke with a calm certainty. "I respect the truth."

Cody nodded but hesitated again. "And… what about Ms. Linda?"

Arnold’s expression remained unreadable. "There’s no concrete evidence that she was involved in Alex’s actions. I trust her. She’s not that malicious."

But even as he said the words, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind.

At that moment, the door to the hospital room opened, and a nurse walked out with Alex in tow. The boy’s face was streaked with tears, his sobs quiet but persistent. His small fingers clutched the hem of his shirt tightly, as if trying to hold himself together.

"Daddy," Alex whimpered, his voice trembling. "Mommy won’t forgive me…"

Arnold sighed. A part of him wanted to comfort his son, but another part knew this wasn’t something that could be easily fixed. Nora had drawn her line.

He turned to his subordinates. "Take Alex home. Let Nora rest."

The nurse handed Alex over to Arnold’s men, and the boy resisted at first, casting desperate glances back toward the hospital room. But Arnold didn’t waver.

Alex needed to learn.

As his son was led away, Arnold lingered for a moment, watching the door to Nora’s room before finally turning and walking off.

Nora drifted in and out of sleep, her body exhausted from everything she had endured.

She wasn’t sure how much time had passed when she felt a familiar presence nearby. The scent... subtle yet distinct... was comforting in a way she hadn’t expected.

Her eyelids fluttered open.

Cole.
