“Grant, I really know I was wrong. I’ll change. For you and the baby, I’ll give everything I have. Mom, Dad, and even Owen have all given up on me. You two are all I have left. Please, don’t leave me.”

By the end, Grant could hear Luna struggling to breathe through her sobs, almost choking on her tears.

But he wasn’t about to forgive all the mistakes she’d made.

Still, his tone softened slightly. “This is a critical PR moment. Stay home and don’t go anywhere. I’ll have Alaric find a maid to look after you.”

Luna cried tears of joy. “As long as you’re not mad at me, I’ll do whatever you say.”

After a pause, she added with unusual caution, “Grant, will we ever be like before?”

Grant didn’t answer directly. “Fine. Rest well at home and take care of the pregnancy. I’ll handle everything.”

“Okay, I trust you!”

Luna logged out of the chat.

She raised her hand and picked up a spare phone beside her.

On it was a video, taken the day after the celebration banquet, showing a woman leaving Grant’s penthouse suite.

The woman’s face wasn’t clear, but the bite marks on her neck stood out starkly.

Luna carefully wiped away the patchy tear stains on her own face. Her expression was calm, showing no joy or sorrow, only an intense, dark, burning hatred.

She didn’t know who sent her the video, but right now, she had just one thought. “Grant, you betrayed me and still want to squeeze every drop of my value as a mother? I’m abandoned and left with nothing. I swear, I’ll make sure you never have peace either!”

At Sunrise Village, all morning, Oriana and the team had visited thirteen households. Most

and outside to keep an eye on the seniors‘ condition.

After quick checkups, the elders were generally healthy aside from some chronic conditions. like hypertension and diabetes.

By the time they left the last house, it was nearly noon.

Chuck glanced at his watch and said, “Everyone, go rest for now. We’ll regroup at 2 p.m. to continue.”

“Okay,” the group replied in unison, then dispersed back to their lodgings.

Lunch was once again prepared by the three roommates acting as head chefs, with Oriana helping out and cleaning up.

While Oriana squatted by the well washing dishes, so she could fetch water without hauling it around, she video–called Micah.

As soon as the screen lit up, Micah’s face darkened. “Who told you to do that?”

Oriana blinked, confused, and turned her head playfully. “Huh? How do you know I’m washing dishes?”

Micah’s expression shifted slightly, lips pressed tight. “There’s the sound of water and clinking dishes.”

“Figures, can’t hide anything from your ears.” Oriana laughed it off. “I can’t cook. Each of them cooked a dish. I can’t just eat for free. Besides, it’s not much work. I’ll be done in no time.”

Micah’s eyes shone with concern. He wouldn’t let her touch even cold water if he could help it.

“If I’d known, I’d have come with you.”

“What, to cook, wash dishes, and warm my bed?” Oriana tilted her head, laughing at her own joke.

“I’m not that delicate, Mr. Caldwell. I can do it!”

Micah watched her on the screen as she let out a casual little laugh, barely sparing him a glance. She stayed bent over the sink, washing dishes without pause.

Before he realized it, Micah’s eyes had turned red, and his voice dropped into something dark and heavy, almost hollowed out by longing.

“Honey, I miss you.”

Oriana’s hands froze mid–scrub.

She shifted slightly and looked at Micah on the phone screen–his eyes and the curve of his brows filled with nothing but yearning. The sight made the tip of her tongue soften, her whole chest go warm.

Her lashes dipped, a gentle smile stirring at her lips as she answered in a soft murmur,

“I miss you too.”

It wasn’t their first time being apart, but this time the separation felt even more unbearable than the last.

Oriana thought that maybe it was because they had grown used to the comfort of having each other close and now neither of them wanted to be apart at all.

With that thought, her voice softened even more as she tried to soothe him. “Look, last night went by fast, didn’t it? Just ten more days–they’ll fly by before we know it.”
