Tony corrected himself. “Not some kind of terminal illness. I just said Mr. Jackson was sick… Lovesickness still counts as an illness, right?”

Dawn pressed her lips together and couldn’t say another word.

She turned to look at the man beside her. He was a little thinner than before, but still sharp and full of life–nothing like someone

who was sick.

Right… I jumped to conclusions, assuming it was something terminal, and I didn’t even look at him properly.

Dawn lowered her eyes, then suddenly stood up and strode toward the door.

“Hey… Ms. Porter!”

Tony shot a quick glance at his boss and hurried to stop her. “This is really all my fault. Please don’t be mad at Mr. Jackson, okay?”

Dawn hadn’t planned to say anything, but seeing him on the verge of tears, she spoke in a distant tone. “I’m not angry.”

“Really?”

“Why would I need to lie to you?”

Tony froze.

She wasn’t lying, but this attitude somehow felt worse than lying.

Tony’s brain nearly short–circuited. He could only look pleadingly at the man who hadn’t said a word yet. Boss, say something! She’s leaving!

Ethan’s eyes were dark and deep. After a long moment, his low voice finally sounded. “I’ll take you

home.”

Dawn glanced at him and didn’t refuse.

She walked out of the office ahead of Tony.

Ethan grabbed his phone from the desk and followed with long strides.

Dawn had driven there herself, so she was riding back in her own car. She sat in the passenger seat, Ethan’s tall figure beside her. His legs were too long, so he had to slide the seat back.

Evening fell. Pale yellow light spread like dye on fabric, gradually deepening into darker shades.

There weren’t many cars on the road at that hour.

No one spoke in the car. It was unnaturally quiet.

As if deliberately slowing down, a drive that should’ve taken half an hour took Ethan a full hour.

When they arrived, Dawn stared straight ahead and said lightly, “Don’t think about how to make me change my mind. If there were any chance, I wouldn’t have left you.”

There was no emotion in those words. If anything, they were cruel.

Ethan smiled faintly.

“I never said I wanted to win you back.”

That caught Dawn off guard. She let out a deep breath and said coldly, “Well then, thanks for the ride, Mr. Jackson. Bye.”

The man beside her didn’t move. She pushed the door open and got out on her own.

All the way until she walked into the villa, Ethan didn’t say a single word to stop her.

His gaze stretched far into the distance, from that dreamlike silhouette to the villa he’d seen so many times he could almost sketch its layout from memory.

After a long while, he lifted a hand and loosely rested it against his forehead.

Dawn… what am I supposed to do with you?

Ethan walked out for a bit, then took a cab back to the company.

Tony hadn’t left yet. He was waiting to come clean and take the blame.

“Mr. Jackson… I really meant well. And look, didn’t it prove something? Ms. Porter rushed over the moment she heard you were sick. She was frantic. That clearly means she still has feelings for you-”

The man shot him a cold look. “So you think I should thank you?”

“Uh, that’s not necessary.”

But I’m telling the truth!

Tony wore a miserable expression and went all in. “Mr. Jackson, honestly, I don’t think Ms. Porter has let you go. If you think of another way, there might still be a chance.”

Ethan closed his eyes, his long fingers rubbing his brow. He didn’t answer.

Just as Tony was about to leave, he finally heard the man’s deep voice.

“Wait.

“I have a strange feeling. There’s something off around her.
