Amelia noticed Kaia’s shoulders quiver faintly, and the straight posture she had held moments earlier collapsed at once.
After being scolded by her mother, she lowered her head to hide every trace of emotion.
The breeze from the river stirred her hair, leaving several loose strands stuck to her cheeks, making her appear delicate and powerless.
After a long pause, Amelia heard her voice drift through the wind. “Mom, stop talking… It’s not like I don’t understand my own situation.”
Her voice was so faint it felt as though the wind might scatter it away at any second, yet it carried a deep sense of helpless acceptance.
Seeing her daughter like this, Linda finally felt a flicker of compassion. She fell silent and simply sighed again, patting her daughter gently on the back.
They said nothing more as they stood together quietly for a moment before turning back along the trail. slowly walking toward the far side of town until they disappeared into the distance.
Only after their figures vanished completely beyond the curve of the path did Amelia finally release the breath she had been holding. She and Mason stepped out from behind the old willow tree.
Amelia stared worriedly toward the direction they had gone, her chest feeling weighed down as if something heavy blocked her heart.
She wanted to run over and tell Linda that Evan truly was not someone who judged people by status. He was gentle and humble and would never cruelly discard someone once he achieved his goal.
But the words stayed trapped in her throat.
She had to admit that although Linda’s words were harshly realistic, they were not entirely wrong.
The connection between a doctor and a patient naturally existed within an uneven relationship of reliance.
A patient’s gratitude and trust toward a doctor could easily be mistaken for affection; it truly carried the shadow of an imprinting complex.
Who could promise that once Evan fully recovered and returned to his own world, the emotions born during that special period would not gradually fade with time?
Amelia’s thoughts churned endlessly. For a moment, she was so absorbed in her thinking that the look she gave Mason carried a trace of complexity.
He was also an Everett, and a huge difference in status existed between them.
Although he had never acted superior, could a divide rooted in reality truly be crossed so easily?
Mason quickly caught the flicker of uncertainty in her gaze. As though he understood what she was

thinking, he reached out his warm hand and gently enclosed hers.

“Don’t think too much,” his deep voice sounded beside her ear. “Feelings are only understood by the people involved. Evan isn’t someone who loses control; he will deal with it.”
The two walked back toward town from the riverside.
As evening approached, the Christmas atmosphere in town became even livelier.
Along the way they encountered many children who had just finished playing outside.
When the children saw Mason, they showed no shyness at all. They rushed toward him in a lively cluster. lifting their small flushed faces and shouting over each other: “Merry Christmas, Mason!”
“May you be blessed! Now give us our gift cards!”
Mason smiled warmly. He nodded and generously pulled out a thick stack of fresh gift cards from his coat pocket.
He bent down and handed one to each child.
Amelia stood nearby watching him surrounded by the children, his tall figure appearing especially dependable.
She joined in the excitement, encouraging the kids to say even more good wishes.
Soon a few elderly residents passed by carrying grocery baskets. Mason stepped forward politely, greeting them early for Christmas and handing each one a gift card as well.
By the time the final card went to a shaky old lady, the thick bundle Mason carried had finally been used
Seeing him pat his empty pockets, Amelia immediately stepped forward. She searched both pockets carefully to make sure none remained, then lifted her head and pouted playfully at him. “Really? They’re all gone? Even mine is gone?”
Mason spread his hands helplessly. “Who was the one cheering the loudest carlier, telling the kids to call her ‘the beautiful and kind Amelia‘? Didn’t you realize your share was being handed out with every else?”
Amelia’s eyes widened at once. She let out a frustrated cry and lightly punched his arin, casight betwee laughter and despair. “That was a huge strategic mistake! I actually cheered my own gift card away!”
Talking and laughing, the two returned home together Just as they reached the gang of the courtyard, they saw Nora pushing Evan in his wheelchair, preparing to visit Beatrice next door
