Gael finally lifted his head. His eyes were full of tears. He rushed into Rosalie’s arms and broke down, crying

hard.

Rosalie patted his back and held him close. She soothed him gently and kissed the top of his head again and again.

Julien stood outside the door. He saw everything through the narrow crack. His eyes turned red.

He had been worried all this time. Gael’s face was disfigured now. Would Rosalie dislike him? Would she turn away from him or send him away?

But seeing this, Julien finally relaxed. Rosalie had no such thoughts.

He quietly pushed the door open. Julien exchanged a glance with Rosalie, handed her the freshly boiled herbal medicine, and then slipped back out.

Gael’s crying slowly faded. His eyes were red and swollen.

Rosalie wiped the tears from his face and spoke softly. “Drink the medicine. It will help you heal faster.”

“Okay,” he answered.

Both of his hands were wrapped tightly in bandages. Rosalie patiently fed him the medicine, spoon by spoon, blowing on each one to cool it.

The medicine was bitter, but Gael showed no reaction. Nothing could be more bitter than how he felt inside.

Rosalie took out a piece of candied fruit. She had brought it from the city before they left.

Only six or seven pieces were left now. She saved them all for Gael.

Gael ate the candied fruit. The sweet taste washed away the bitterness in his mouth.

He didn’t care about his injured face. He forced out a small smile.

Gael stayed there to recover for two or three days. Every day, Rosalie fed him his medicine herself.

Whenever Gael showed a look of shame or self-doubt, Rosalie would hold his face and show him through her actions that she did not mind at all.

Each time, Gael’s face would turn red. Rosalie would kiss him from his forehead down to his chin.

The day before they left, the bandages on Gael’s body could finally be removed.

As Rosalie helped unwrap them, healed scars appeared one by one. The new skin was pink and clearly different from his old skin.

Rosalie acted as if she didn’t see anything unusual. She helped him get dressed, took his hand, and asked, “Do you want to come see the baby with me?”

Gael’s eyes lit up. Rosalie’s child?

When he came back, he was unconscious. He wasn’t there when the baby was born.

Gael hadn’t seen the baby.

Then his expression dimmed for a moment. Could he really go?

Seeing his hesitation, Rosalie simply pulled him along.

When they reached the door, a force suddenly stopped her. Gael stood still, lips pressed together, clearly struggling.

“Are you sure I can go in?” he asked.

Rosalie knew at once. He was feeling inferior again.

She squeezed his hand and said firmly, “Of course you can. Why wouldn’t you?

“You are his father too.”

Only then did Gael relax and follow Rosalie inside.

Inside the room, Cameron and Elijah were there. Little Jayden lay on the bed, giggling happily.

When Cameron saw Gael, he paused. Then he pressed his lips together and said, “You’re here.”

In this household, if anyone clashed most with Gael, it was Cameron. No one else even came close.

Normally, the two of them would argue the moment they met. But today, Cameron said nothing.

Looking closely, his eyes were a little red too.

Gael walked over slowly. He stretched out one finger toward little Jayden.

Jayden grabbed the finger and laughed. Feeling the soft, warm grip, Gael’s heart grew warm.

This is the matriarch’s child. He’s cute.
