He never saw it coming-just how bad things had gotten.

Elena felt some of the tension in her nerves ease. She pressed her fingers to the bridge of her nose. “You’re right, Gideon. I’m out of options. I really need your help on this.”

“I’ll do whatever I can.”

He agreed without a second thought.

After taking a short break, Elena checked the time. It was about time to head back to Kingsley Manor. She pushed herself up from the chair. “I should get going. It’s late-I don’t want everyone worrying.

So much had happened today. A dull fatigue was settling in.

It was hard to imagine how Alexander kept Pinnacle Group running while still finding the time and energy to look into Gideon’s situation-let alone handle it.

“Let me walk you out.”

Gideon stood up too.

“Don’t bother. Go shower and get some rest. Declan’s waiting outside for me.”

Elena made her way toward the door.

Even so, Gideon followed her to the apartment entrance.

“About those kids you mentioned-I’ll get it sorted as soon as I can,” he said. “And don’t stress over Alexander too much. I’m sure he’s more worried about your safety than his own health.”

A while back, Alexander had sent lawyers to meet with him more than once.

He’d been thorough, following every detail of Gideon’s case. Even if it was only because of Elena, he’d still helped.

“Yeah.”

Elena nodded.

She started down the stairs when suddenly her foot caught on a step.

Her vision dimmed.

She nearly lost her balance, but Gideon reached out and steadied her just in time.

“Back to Kingsley Manor, she said softly.

She dug through her bag, and pulled out a piece of candy,

Ever since her last prenatal checkup showed her blood sugar tend to run low, Alexander had made sure she always carried some. A few of these were even from that time he’d taken her grocery shopping himself.

The candy was supposed to taste sweet

But for some reason, it left a faint bitterness in her mouth.

She pulled up Alexander’s contact. She wanted to call him so badly-but she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to keep her emotions in check.

So instead, she only dared to send a text.

She picked a cute sticker little dog resting its chin on its paws, blowing a kiss.

“Hey handsome, you there?”

It was like Alexander knew she’d message right the. He replied almost instantly. “Yeah.

“Did you eat today?”

When they were together at the estate, Alexander made sure she never missed a meal. If he was running late and couldn’t join her, he’d have Martha make sure she ate something

But today, she hadn’t even been at Kingsley Manor.

A few minutes passed with no reply.

Her heart grew uneasy for no reason. Elena couldn’t help it-she called him.

This time, he picked up quickly.

“How come you didn’t text back?”
