immediately softened his steps.

At that moment, his daughter’s illness felt like a whip lashing against his

heart.

His jaw tightened. He wanted to say something, but no words came out, leaving only panic and lingering dread.

After checking on Brynlee, he turned and went to find Miles. It was Miles who had notified him, prompting his frantic rush back.

“Finnian, although we controlled this episode in time, it’s a clear warning regarding her fragile heart.” Miles sat in his office, skipping the pleasantries and speaking with grave seriousness. “Based on this year’s checkup records and the entire process of her heart rate variability, as I’ve mentioned to Kaia before, the results aren’t always ideal.”

Finnian sat slumped in the chair across from him, listening in silence.

“Finnian, I don’t want to pry into your family matters, but as her doctor, I have to remind you that a child with congenital heart disease is far more sensitive to family tension and atmosphere than adults realize.”

Finnian’s expression darkened even further. He nodded. “I know.”

With that, he got up and left the office. Walking down the hospital corridor, his heart beat a little faster.

Inside the room, Kaia was still leaning forward, sitting by the bed. She was holding the little hand with the IV, her head bowed, her shoulders shaking slightly.

She was crying.

Finnian stopped in his tracks. He didn’t go in. Instead, he went to The Smoking Area down the hall and lit a cigarette.

No matter how strong, capable, and independent Kaia usually was, she was just a helpless mother right now. Faced with her sick child, she was terrified and vulnerable.

Finnian finished his cigarette and returned to the room. Seeing him enter, Kaia grabbed a tissue, wiped her tears, and retreated behind her usual cool facade.

Finnian sat on the other side of the bed, wrapping his large, warm hand | around his daughter’s free hand.

Perhaps it was the added warmth, but Brynlee, who hadn’t been sleeping

eacefully, suddenly opened her eyes.

she immediately sat up. Then, catching sight of the IV needle in her left hand, her little mouth crumpled, and she burst into loud sobs, desperately wanting her mother’s embrace.

Kaia held her carefully, reminding her not to move her hand with the needle. Tears spilled from Kaia’s own red eyes.

“Mommy, I’m so scared…” Brynlee sobbed, voicing her terror.

“Don’t be scared. Mommy’s here.”

Watching the mother and daughter cry together, Finnian felt a heavy, suffocating ache in his chest.

“Be a good girl, sweetie. Miles said you can’t cry too hard. Please stop crying, okay? Tell Mommy, are you hungry? I’ll go buy you something delicious.” Kaia coaxed her daughter in a low, soothing voice. At this moment, nothing else mattered. She just wanted her child to be healthy and safe.

Brynlee slowly began to calm down. After a few soft sniffles, she turned her head and saw her dad was there too. She immediately crawled over to the edge of the bed and threw herself into Finnian’s arms.

“Daddy, weren’t you on a business trip? Why are you back?” Brynlee asked, her little lip pouting.

Finnian grabbed a tissue and gently wiped away her tears, his voice hoarse. “Daddy heard you were in the hospital and rushed right back.”

“Daddy, am I… going to die?” With that, Brynlee lost control again, shaking with fear.

Her words hit both parents like a physical blow, draining the color from their faces.

“No, sweetheart. You’re going to get better,” Finnian said softly,

“Okay, Mommy. Can I have some candy? I want something sweet,” Brynlee whispered.

Josephine, noticing Kaia’s pale face and swollen eyes, spoke up. “That’s enough. Stop blaming Kaia. No one hurts more than a mother when her child is sick. If Brynlee stays cooped up at home all day, she won’t be happy. Being around other kids makes her feel normal.”

a finally had a moment of peace. Stepping out of the hospital, the dden sunlight made her dizzy. The sheer terror of watching Brynlee had pushed her heart to its limits.

“Kaia…” A tall figure approached her. It was Silas. He hadn’t left.

“Why are you still here?” Kaia asked, surprised.

“I stayed in case you needed help,” Silas said softly.

“Finnian rushed back, so everything is under control. You should head back to the office.” Kaia gave him a grateful look.

“I’ll walk with you.” Silas’s gaze lingered on her face for a moment. She looked terrified and exhausted.
