Zora woke up in the middle of the night after hearing loud noises from the living room. She walked out to check.

She found Leighton looking really upset and flustered.

When she learned Garrett was sent to the hospital, she chose to go with him.

Now that Garrett’s condition had stabilized, Leighton felt a huge weight lift off his chest.

“Are you cold? I can have someone drive you home right now.”

Leighton saw her messy hair falling over her shoulders and gently fixed it for her.

It was late at night. Leighton had never wanted to bring Zora out here to suffer.

But she refused to stay home alone. She said she knew basic medical skills and might be able to help.

“I’m not cold.”

They’d rushed out in a hurry, but Leighton still grabbed a down jacket from the sofa and wrapped it around her tightly.

As they talked, the door to the hospital room opened.

“How is he, doctor?”

Celine walked over quickly.

Leighton grew nervous. He looked past the doctors at the man lying in the bed and quietly clenched his hands.

He saw Garrett’s pale, wrinkled face. An oxygen mask covered his mouth and nose.

He had way more white hair than the last time Leighton saw him.

Garrett was already very old.

He’d had Leighton late in his life.

Garrett was 40 years old when Leighton was born. Leighton was almost 24 now, and Garrett was in his sixties. He had lived most of his life.

When he was young, he worked extremely hard and hurt his body a lot. He had many old injuries, and some of them could never fully heal.

As he got older, those old injuries started bothering him more and more.

“The patient is stable for now,” the doctor said.

“He’s elderly. His body organs are slowing down, and he has a lot of old injuries.

“He needs good rest from now on. Don’t let him get angry or upset, and keep his mood steady.

“We caught this early, so there’s no serious danger. But his body is much weaker after this episode.

“He needs to stay in the hospital for a while so we can watch him.

“If this happens again, the outcome will be serious.”

After the doctor finished speaking, he left with the other medical staff.

“Dad’s felt terrible ever since he fought with you and sent you away last time,” Finn said.

“He regrets the things he said. He’s been really sad lately and keeps looking at Mom’s old photos.

“He actually planned to go see you today.”

Worry filled Finn’s eyes as he spoke.

Leighton hadn’t gone back to Pierce Manor since their big fight.

To be honest, he rarely went back even before the fight.

Every visit either ended in arguing or awkward silence between him and Garrett.

Their problems all started because of Vienne. It made their father-son relationship stiff and complicated.

They didn’t hate each other, but they could never be as close as they used to be.

No one was truly at fault, but neither of them could fix things.

Still, it was clear they both cared about each other deeply.

Even when Leighton didn’t come home, he sent things to Garrett every month.

When Garrett mentioned wanting snacks before, Leighton made sure someone sent them every month without fail.

Knowing his father was old, he constantly sent all kinds of health supplements to him.

He even asked Zora to make two bottles of health pills and sent them to Garrett.

Garrett truly cared about his youngest son.

Even though he’d said harsh words and told Leighton not to come back, the servants cleaned Leighton’s room every single day.

He always hoped Leighton might suddenly decide to come home.

Garrett also kept finding excuses to send money to Leighton.

The father and son barely saw each other, but they never stopped caring for one another.

They just had too many unresolved issues. Neither one was willing to soften up or take the first step.

This awkward tension went on for years, until Garrett’s body finally grew weak with age.

Now that he was old and frail, Garrett decided he would go find his son if his son wouldn’t come to him.

Leighton’s birthday was the day after Christmas. Garrett usually started preparing for it a month early.

Garrett had wanted to ask if Leighton would come back to Pierce Manor for his birthday this

year.

It was the only reason he could think of to reach out to Leighton.

He had planned to visit Leighton early the next morning.

The night before, he even asked Walter to help him pick out nice clothes.

He was nervous and kept telling himself he wouldn’t say any harsh words this time.

He stayed up late because of it, and then his heart started hurting badly in the middle of the night.

Garrett’s room had health monitors. As soon as his condition dropped, Walter got an alert.

He immediately called the family doctor to stabilize Garrett, then rushed him to the hospital.

Finn and Celine had been home that night, and both of them were extremely worried.

They knew their father’s health was getting worse with age, so they visited Garrett as often as they could.

They couldn’t fix the rift between Garrett and Leighton. All they could do was try their best to ease the tension between them.
