Adrian, unfortunately, was still too unstable to be moved. Emory had explained that although he was responding to treatment, his condition remained fragile, and transferring him now would introduce risks they weren’t willing to take. Clara and Mr. Asher had arranged to stay in a private hospital suite nearby so they could remain close to him.

Before we left, I went to say goodbye to Clara. She sat beside Adrian’s bed, holding his hand while the monitors continued their steady rhythm. The exhaustion on her face was unmistakable, but she managed a

small smile when she saw me.

“Go home, Amber,” she said before I could offer to stay. “You’ve been here long enough, and the boys deserve to be in their own home.”

“I’ll call you as soon as we arrive.”

“You’d better.” Her eyes moved toward the twins’ carriers. “And send me pictures. Lots of them.”

“I’ll send so many you’ll regret asking.”

“That’s impossible.”

I hugged her carefully, promising we would keep checking on Adrian and that she only had to call if she needed anything. She held me a little tighter before letting go, her gaze returning to her husband as though she were afraid to look away for too long.

I understood. Leaving the hospital meant going home, but it also meant leaving someone we loved behind, still fighting a battle none of us could fight for him.

Neither Jason nor I was ready to drive, so Jasmine accompanied us while Mr. Stait took the wheel. The journey to the castle felt strangely peaceful after the chaos of the previous weeks. The twins slept through most of it, and Jason kept checking their carriers as if he expected one of them to vanish if he looked away for too long.

“You know they’re still there,” I murmured.

“I’m aware.”

“You’ve checked six times.”

“Seven,” Jasmine corrected from the front passenger seat.

Jason looked at her through the rearview mirror. “You’re counting?”

“I have to entertain myself somehow.”

I laughed and rested my head against the seat. The familiar road eventually gave way to the castle gates, and as we entered the grounds, a warmth settled over me that I hadn’t realized I was missing.

Home.

Mr. Stait helped us with the bags before returning to River City, reminding Jason to call if anything changed

with Adrian or the investigation. Jasmine stayed behind with us, heading toward the room that had already been prepared for her.

She had her own room at the castle now, and judging by the way she tossed her bag onto the bed when I checked on her later, she had no intention of leaving anytime soon.

“I hope you know you’re not a guest anymore,” I told her.

She raised an eyebrow. “Does that mean I get to raid the kitchen?”

“It means you can eat whatever you want.”

“Excellent. I’m staying forever.”

“Somehow, I suspected that.”

We had barely stepped inside the main hall when Alice and Alex came running toward us. Alice stopped short when she spotted the carriers, her eyes widening as she looked from me to Jason and then back to the babies.

“They’re really home?” she whispered.

“They’re home,” I assured her. “And so are we.

Alex approached more slowly, his gaze fixed on Jason. “You’re staying home too?”

Jason crouched in front of him. “Yes, buddy. I’m staying home.”

“Not going back to the hospital tomorrow?”

“No. Not unless someone needs me there.”

Alex seemed to consider that answer carefully before throwing his arms around Jason’s neck. Jason hugged him close, closing his eyes for a brief moment before pulling back and ruffling his hair.

Alice was already peering into one of the carriers, trying to see her baby brothers without waking them. I guided her closer and showed her Lucas first, then Ethan, explaining in a whisper that they were sleeping and needed everyone to be gentle.

“They’re so small,” she breathed.

“They won’t stay that way for long,” I told her.

Alex joined her, and for a while, the two of them simply watched the twins. Their quiet fascination made something inside me loosen. The castle had felt too large and too empty during our absence, but with the children gathered around us and Jason beside me, it finally felt alive again.

There were still problems waiting for us. Adrian remained unconscious in the hospital, Mr. White was hiding with the Wyatts, and the Sum president’s motives were far from clear. The investigation into the blocked emergency signal and the secrets surrounding my childhood was still underway, and now I had another question about my medical records that I intended to resolve.

But none of those problems had to be solved this afternoon.

I looked at Jason, who had one arm around Alex while Alice carefully watched over her sleeping brothers. He
