Chapter 476 Wobbly Dawn

:

When Mason looked down, Dawn was limp in his arms and her skin was pale as paper.

His pulse jumped and he lifted her without hesitation, carrying her out to the car and straight to the hospital.

Everything in Ithelia moved at a glacial pace, so he slipped some money under the table and brought in a private doctor.

The exam took forever. The doctor’s brows never relaxed once.

Mason had never felt more worried in his life.

Mason’s voice cut through the silence. “How is she?”

The doctor sighed and studied him. “Sir, are you this woman’s husband?”

“No,” Mason said sharply, his jaw tense. “Just tell me what’s wrong.”

“I should be telling this to her husband, but…”

The doctor hesitated, then gave a helpless shrug. “All right, I’ll just tell you. She’s pregnant. She passed out because she’s malnourished and hypoglycemic. I have no idea how you people let it get this bad. Can’t you see how pale she is?”

The words hit him like a jolt.

Dawn had been running herself into the ground for weeks. She barely ate, worked past midnight every day, and ignored every sign her body gave. It was a miracle she hadn’t collapsed sooner.

Mason thanked the doctor and saw him to the door. The man rattled off a long list of instructions, and Mason stored every word in his head.

When he returned, Dawn was awake. She was staring blankly at the ceiling, her face unreadable.

“Ms. Dawn,” he said softly.

“I heard him,” she whispered.

Her voice was hoarse and fragile. She tried to sit up, but her strength failed halfway. Mason rushed forward and slipped a pillow behind her back to keep her steady.

Her expression flickered, somewhere between disbelief and quiet shock. A baby. Now, of all times. First pregnancy.

She closed her eyes, her lashes trembling.

For the first time in years, she felt lost.

Mason stood by, silent and unsure what to say. Finally, he spoke. “Are you hungry? I can have the cooks make you something.”

She shook her head, then hesitated.

“Do we have a chef who can make Aglarian cuisine? Maybe some chicken soup.”

“Consider it done,” he said.

To her, Mason always seemed capable of everything. Every request she made, he found a way to deliver.

And tonight was no different.

In less than an hour, a tray arrived with steaming chicken soup and a few light dishes.

The broth was rich and golden. The scent filled the room, warm and familiar. She took a sip. A faint smile touched her lips. “Mason,” she said quietly, “sometimes I think Vincent sending you to me was the best mistake he ever made.”

Without Mason, Vincent was like a ruler missing his strongest arm.

There were times Dawn truly couldn’t make sense of him. She couldn’t tell if he cared about her or not.

If he didn’t, then why did he always show a kind of patience that only real fathers had?

But if he did, why had he sat down with Marshall and made a deal behind her back, tossing her out like a bargaining chip?

Mason stood in front of her, his voice calm but respectful. “The chairman wanted someone dependable to stay by your side.”

Dawn looked up slowly. “So your loyalty’s still with him?”

He didn’t answer.

for me for three years. The first two, you worked for my father. By the third, you started dodging certain questions. I noticed.”

She wasn’t angry.

She never hid things from him because she knew he had his own sense of right and wrong.

He always knew what to say and what to leave unsaid.

“But I need clarity now,” she said. “You either stand with me or with father.”

Her voice was light, almost detached. “If you choose him, I’ll tell him to take you choose me, then nothing that happens here goes back to him. Ever.”

you back. But if

Her lips curved faintly. “Don’t worry. I won’t make it hard for you. Just tell me what you plan to report each time.”

She wanted him to stay. Deep down, she did.

But she no longer had the strength to trust blindly.

Mason stayed quiet for a long while.

The silence stretched until Dawn began to wonder if she’d gone too far.

She finished her soup, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and looked at him. “What’s wrong? Is this question really that difficult?”

“I choose you,” he said suddenly.

Her gaze flicked up to meet his. There was determination in his eyes. There was also something more. Dawn had no idea what it was. No, she did. She just didn’t want to say it out loud.

He held her eyes, his tone steady, his expression unreadable. “You probably don’t know this, Ms. Dawn, but I’ve been with the chairman since I was fifteen. He’s the reason I survived.”

He didn’t speak of the pain or the brutality that came with it. That debt, however cruel, was still a debt.

He had served Vincent for ten long years. That was enough.

He wanted to make his own choice this time.

“The chairman often asks me about you. But I never told him much.”

He knew she wouldn’t like hearing that, but she only smiled faintly. “I know.”

If she hadn’t, this conversation wouldn’t even exist.

“Then for now,” she said softly, “my pregnancy stays between us.”

He didn’t ask why. His answer was short and certain. “Yes, ma’am.”

“And Ethan,” she added, her tone quiet but firm. “Keep it from him too.” She hadn’t decided what to do yet. The fewer who knew, the fewer who could interfere.
