Micah, on the other hand, could only have liquids. Listening to Dawn list off dishes while ordering left him speechless.

“Anyone who didn’t know better would think you’re the patient. Can you at least consider how I feel?”

“Nope.”

Dawn placed the order and glanced at him.

“So what, just because you’re hospitalized, I have to eat bland food too? Not happening.”

“Then go home and let my brother take care of me.”

“No.”

“You’re so…”

”

Micah couldn’t out–argue her. He wanted to curse, but couldn’t find the words, so he turned his head away and stopped talking to her.

Dawn lowered her head and opened her phone, scrolling through unread messages on WhatsApp. In a casual, detached tone, she said, “I should be grateful that Andy raised you and never let you suffer, but that’s not a reason for me to forgive him.”

Everything was just cause and effect.

Vera had supported him, so he adopted Micah.

But how did he manage to stand by and do nothing afterward?

Maybe there were many reasons, but Dawn wasn’t a saint. She couldn’t objectively analyze every motive.

“If you want to keep in touch with him in the future, I don’t mind. But at least for now, I don’t want to see him.”

Micah stared at Dawn’s beautiful profile. When he’d said “brother,” he’d actually meant Ethan. He hadn’t expected her to misunderstand, much less to lay everything out so bluntly.

“I…”

He clicked his tongue. “That’s not who I meant!”

Dawn froze for a moment. Then she remembered she still hadn’t contacted Ethan. She hurriedly sent him a WhatsApp message, saying she’d already ordered food.

Micah watched her flustered movements and gave a quiet snort. “I’m serious. It feels like you don’t really care that much about Ethan. I heard you two are getting married again.”

“Yeah.”

Dawn’s voice was light. Too light, like she was deliberately covering something up.

“Ow…”

Micah got so worked up that he almost sat up. The moment he moved, pain tore through his insides, and he grimaced.

After a while, he snapped, “Dawn, what’s gotten into you? Why are you doing this? To get back at him?”

Dawn paused, then looked

up

at him.

Still silent.

“Do you know why I was always sarcastic toward you three years ago? Because I knew you weren’t right for each other. Ethan is too good. You’re not bad either, but your background means your life will never be peaceful. You-”

Micah was genuinely angry now. But the woman across from him looked more and more lost, as if she were sinking into self–doubt.

His chest tightened. He looked away and said quietly, “I just don’t want you to hurt him. I really treat him like brother.”

my

Dawn’s thick lashes fluttered twice. She took a deep breath.

The emotion from moments ago was quickly hidden away.

“Just like

you said, being born into a certain family determines your outcome. He was born into the Jacksons, so one day, he was bound to cross paths with me. Micah, you’re so harsh on me, but when it comes to him, all you can say is that he’s a good person. Is that fair to me? To my parents?”

Those words shattered the fragile warmth of their reunion and dragged them back into reality.

Micah’s eyes reddened. He couldn’t say a word.

Because he knew Dawn was right.

Ethan treated him well. He was a good person. So what?

Was Dawn not good? Were their deceased parents not good?

Twisting the truth in the name of “not hurting anyone” was unfair to everyone involved.

There were restrained tears in Dawn’s eyes, but she held them back. They didn’t fall.

“I know part of you is worried about me. But Micah, I don’t have a way back anymore. Feelings… They don’t really matter to me right now.

“I’ve been tangled up with Ethan for so long, but I need answers. Whether we get married isn’t important. What matters is making other people think it’s important.”

Only then would the right people show themselves.

She’d said too much in one breath. Dawn’s voice grew hoarse.

A bitter curve touched her lips as she said softly, ‘You don’t need to worry about whether we’ll be happy in this lifetime. Things … won’t end well between us.”

Micah was about to say something when he looked up and saw a tall figure at the door. His heart skipped two beats, and he blurted out, “Hey—”

Dawn turned around and met the man’s unfathomable gaze.

The eye contact lasted only two seconds. Ethan stepped inside, his voice flat. “I had the restaurant make food for you. When I got downstairs, I saw you’d already ordered. But this place cooks well. If yours isn’t here yet, eat this instead.”

Dawn opened her mouth, but no words came out.

For a brief moment, her whole body felt cold.

But thinking about it carefully, whether he’d heard or not didn’t seem that important. This man was too smart. No way he hadn’t guessed.

He didn’t ask anything. That meant either he already planned to stop

her.

Or… he would go along with what she wanted.

“What, you don’t feel like eating?”
