“She showed up with Dylan and started causing a commotion right here, with no regard for Edward’s condition. Did you think she didn’t deserve to be put in her place?” Arabella stared coldly at Freya.

“That’s a lie. I knew Harper was coming. She and Dylan were just visiting Edward. How could that possibly be ‘causing trouble?” Freya insisted defiantly.

Arabella let out a short, derisive laugh. “Is that the story Harper fed you? She’s certainly good at spinning tales.”

“Mom, I was there. It seems Harper wasn’t entirely truthful with you. Please, stop making a scene and just go home,” Edward urged her seriously.

“Do you really want me gone that badly? I came here to see you,” Freya looked at her son with wounded eyes.

“I know you’re worried about me. This entire situation is because of my health. It’s my problem. I just don’t want you causing any more trouble for Arabella,” Edward said, clearly taking Arabella’s side.

Freya glared at him in disbelief. “You’d rather blame yourself than stand up for your own mother and sister? That truly breaks my heart.

“Are we, your family, less important to you than some outsider?”

Edward sighed helplessly. Why couldn’t she understand?

“Freya, talking like that–aren’t you worried about hurting Edward even more?” Arabella interjected, defending him.

“Stop pretending to be the concerned one! You must be thrilled to see him taking your side!

“I never realized before what a troublemaker you are.

“We took you in all those years, and this is how you repay us? By causing nothing but discord!

“If I’d known this was how you’d turn out, I should have-” Freya’s face was contorted with rage, her words cutting off bitterly.

Edward had finally heard enough. “Mom! How could you say something like that?

“Just leave. Now,” Edward said firmly, no longer wanting her there.

Hearing him dismiss her again, Freya felt a fresh wave of hurt. “I came here for you. Do you really want to push me away this badly?”

“Do you need to make him say something even harsher to get the point?

“If you weren’t Edward’s mother, security would have escorted you out already,” Arabella stated coldly.

She had no more patience for this conversation.

“Arabella, keep driving that wedge between us. I will settle the score with you for this, and for what you did to Harper.

“Don’t think that just because Edward is shielding you, you can do as you please in front of me.

“Sooner or later, you’ll get what’s coming to you,” Freya threatened before storming out, slamming the door behind her.

After she left, the room fell into a heavy silence.

Edward looked at Arabella with concern. “Arabella, come sit down.

“I’m really sorry you had to deal with that. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. What about you?” Arabella asked, her own concern mirrored in her eyes.

“I’m okay.

“Mom has always been… like that. I honestly don’t know what to do about her anymore,” Edward said, a look of profound helplessness in his eyes.

“Try not to dwell on it. The best we can do is keep them from coming here to disrupt your recovery,” Arabella advised gently.

She didn’t want any more members of the Macdonald family showing up to upset Edward.

“Yeah, let’s not talk about them. What brings you by today? Do you have time?” Edward changed the subject.

“I just finished up with something and thought I’d come check on you,” Arabella said.

“If you’re busy with work, you really don’t have to come. I’m managing fine here,” Edward replied, not wanting her to go out of her way for him.

“It’s no trouble. How have you been feeling since the last treatment?” she asked.

“Much better, actually. Your colleague Owen stops by to see me often.

“He mentioned my progress is looking good,” Edward said, a slight lift in his tone.

“That’s great to hear.

“Arabella, how much longer do you think I’ll need to stay in the hospital?” Edward asked, sounding a bit restless. He was eager for a change of scenery.

“Probably not too long. You should be able to go home soon. Getting a little bored in here?” Arabella asked with a knowing smile.

Edward didn’t try to hide it. “A little, yeah. I haven’t been outside since I was admitted.”

Arabella looked at him, a smile touching her lips. “If you wanted to go for a walk, you should have said something.

“Let’s go get some fresh air right now.”
