Micah noticed it but didn’t call Dawn out on it.

Just then, the server began bringing out the dishes. The table was packed with food, rich in color and smell.

The siblings had suffered through several bland days in the hospital, eating light, watery food. Compared to that, this meal felt like a feast fit for royalty. On top of that, their tastes were similar. The more they ate, the more it looked like they were about to fight over the dishes.

Before long, the entire table was wiped clean.

Micah wiped his mouth and said casually, “Dawn, I never realized you could eat this much. You’re eating like you’re pregnant.”

Dawn glanced at him and didn’t respond.

She hadn’t expected her appetite to be this good today either.

If things kept going like this, there would probably be many more meals with Micah.

She said suddenly, “Micah, let’s hire someone to cook at home. Mainly to take care of you.”

“Take care of me?” Micah pointed at himself.

“So you grew a conscience?”

Just earlier, she’d been telling him to be independent. Now she was hiring someone just to cook for him.

Dawn’s eyes flickered. She said, “Your body still needs time to recover. You need proper nutrition. And neither of us can cook. Having someone at home would be convenient.”

The doctor had said that from this point on, nutrition was especially important.

She needed to eat properly and couldn’t keep eating out.

Having made up her mind, Dawn posted messages on several platforms, asking friends to keep an eye out.

Two hours later, Anna called.

“You’re looking for a live–in maid?”

“Yeah. Mainly to help take care of Micah.”

“My family’s housekeeper has a younger sister who’s looking for work. Want me to bring her over for you to meet?”

“That works.” Dawn lifted a hand. “But it’s a bit late today. How about tomorrow morning?”

“Sure.”

Anna agreed readily.

They chatted a bit more and hung up.

Dawn called a cleaning service to come tidy up. By the time everything was done, it was already evening. She changed clothes and came out, planning to go downstairs for a glass of water.

In the living room, Micah sat cross–legged on the couch. He wasn’t gaming and wasn’t on his phone. He was just sitting there, lost in thought.

It was the first time Dawn had seen that expression on his face.

“What’s on your mind?”

“Nothing.”

Micah took a deep breath and rested both hands behind his head. “Dawn, do you think… if Mom could see us like this now, she’d be at peace?”

Dawn paused and walked over to sit beside him.

Micah went on, “Sometimes, I feel pretty guilty.”

“Guilty about what?”

“If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have been threatened. A lot of things might not have happened.”

Dawn shook her head. “That’s not how it went.

“Micah, never imagine things that didn’t happen. When we showed up, Mom must’ve been happy. Truly happy.”

“You mean … she never blamed me?”

“Of course not.”

Micah smiled. The bold, defiant boy had a tear slide down from the corner of his eye, vanishing almost instantly.

Dawn patted his head and said, “Once things settle down in the next couple of days, I’ll take you back to Trifton to see them, okay?”

At that moment, neither of them knew that this trip to Trifton would shatter the decision they’d already made.

Neither of them was the sentimental type. Emotional talk usually lasted only a couple of lines before they each went back to their own rooms to sleep.

The next morning at 7 a.m., Dawn was woken by a rapid, urgent ringtone.

The sun had just come up outside. The weather was nice.

“Why are you still sleeping? Didn’t we agree to bring the housekeeper over this morning?”

Dawn rubbed her forehead. “You’re here already?”

“Yeah. Come open the door!”

She ran to the window and looked out. Sure enough, she saw Anna at the gate, waving hard.

She quickly threw on some clothes and went downstairs.

The woman behind Anna stepped forward right away to greet her.

“Hello, Ms. West. Just call me Raven.”

Dawn smiled and nodded. “Thank you for coming. My brother, Micah, hasn’t fully recovered yet, so we need your help with his meals.”

“Don’t worry, Ms. West, I’ve been cooking my whole life. I can make anything. Why don’t I let you try my cooking at lunch today?”

“That’d be great!”

Anna said, “Perfect. I’ll stay and eat too. Raven’s cooking is seriously good.”

Dawn had planned to go to the company that morning, but since Anna was staying, that plan had to be pushed to the afternoon.

She sent Mason a message, then took Anna around to look at the place.

“Hey.”

Anna nudged Dawn lightly with her elbow. “So? What’s going on?”

She’d seen the news online about the Jacks bomb go off in person.

canceling the wedding. Honestly, the shock was no less than watching a nuclear

This girl plotted so much. How could she just cancel it like that?

“Nothing much.”

Dawn let out a quiet breath. “Anna, do you believe in fate?”

“Well…” Being hit with such a serious question out of nowhere, Anna really didn’t know how to answer. After thinking for a moment, she said, “It’s not about believing or not. When we reach the end and look back, any path we took can be called fate.”
