Alden couldn't bear to linger. “Let’s go,” he muttered, his voice

thick with shame.

He couldn’t stand to look at that child any longer.

Though he hadn't poured much affection into the boy, the mere thought of him—and of Luna-filled Alden with a

churning disgust that twisted his gut.

What he felt, he acted on.

Crouched outside the police station, he retched, the bitter taste of betrayal burning his throat.

Joanne’s face was ashen, her confidence shattered. Not long ago, she'd confronted Kaia, hurling accusations and

staunchly defending Luna, swearing she’d never do something so vile.

Now, reflecting on her outburst, embarrassment washed over her like a cold wave.

Zane let out a heavy sigh. In all his years, he'd never witnessed such a bizarre mess,

Regret gnawed at him. If he'd just pushed harder to get Alden and Kaia married when he had the chance, none

of this mess would have happened.

What a disaster.

Kaia had just settled into bed when Lucien’s phone erupted with urgent ringing. She propped herself up, concern

flickering in her eyes. “What's wrong?”

Lucien’s face was grim as he nodded into the phone. “Got it. I'm on my way.”

Kaia sat up fully, her voice sharper now. “Lucien, what's going on?”

He took a deep breath, steadying himself. “My dad's in the hospital. I'm heading over now.”

“What?” Kaia scrambled out of bed, already reaching for her clothes. “Wait for me-I'll throw something on. Five

minutes, and I’m coming with you.”

“You should stay htonight. Ctomorrow,” Lucien said, his tone gentle but firm.

But Kaia wouldn't hear it. “No way. Allen’s always been so good to me. | have to be there.”

If something happened to Allen, she’d carry that regret forever.

Lucien didn’t argue further. On the drive, Kaia noticed his hands trembling on the steering wheel.

“Honey, letdrive,” she offered softly.

“I'm fine,” Lucien replied, his voice tight.

Kaia reached over, her small hand closing over his, which gripped the wheel like a lifeline. “Honey, I've got my

license. Lettake over.

“You're not yourself right now, and it’s dark. The roads are tricky.”

Lucien was silent for a moment, then gave a reluctant nod.

Kaia knew that despite his constant bickering with Allen, Lucien cared deeply for his father.

If Joanne hadn't provoked him today, if Luna hadn't stirred up this whole fiasco, Lucien would've broken the news

more gently.

He wasn’t worried about sparing Alden’s feelings-he was protecting his father from a blow that could break him.

Lucien’s face was a storm cloud, his anger simmering so fiercely Kaia could almost feel it. He wanted nothing

more than to tear Luna apart for the havoc she'd wrought.

Who insisted on adopting her in the first place?

They rushed to the cardiovascular ward.

“Doctor, how's my dad?” Lucien asked, his voice taut with

worry.

The doctor's tone was calm and reassuring. “He's stable. At his age, scardiovascular issues are common.

We'll run tests

tomorrow to check for reduced blood flow to the brain. Then we'll give him smedication to help with his

dizziness and oxygen levels.”

Kaia sat beside Allen's bed, her heart heavy. “Allen, it’s Kaia. Are you feeling any better?”

Allen, tethered to an oxygen tube, struggled to keep his eyes open, his voice faint and weary.

“I'm okay, Kaia. Sorry you got dragged into this mess today.”

Kaia’s nose stung, tears threatening as memories of her grandmother flooded back. The fear of losing another

kind elder gripped her tightly.

“It’s nothing, Allen. I'm fine. Lucien’s so worried about you—you have to get better. Alyssa’s due next month,

and you've got to meet your first great-grandchild.”

Allen managed a weak smile. “You're right. Gotta stick around to see my favorite granddaughter’s baby.”

Zane and the others arrived soon after.

But Allen’s mood soured at the sight of them-especially Joanne. Her presence alone irritated him.

Allen snorted. Zane wasn’t much better. When they’d taken Luna in years ago, he had warned against spoiling

her. Now they were paying the price for their indulgence.

He was furious with Alden too. He’d picked out a perfectly good fiancée for him, but Alden threw it all away for

that scheming

woman.

Now he felt Alden was just stubborn and stupid.

The sight of them together made Allen’s blood boil.

“Allen, try to stay calm-your blood pressure’s spiking again,” the doctor warned, glancing at the monitor.

Lucien’s icy gaze swept over them, unapologetically sharp. “Joanne, you all should head home. Zane, you stay.

“Dad was fine until you showed up. Let's not make this worse.”

Alden and Joanne flushed with shbut couldn't argue.

They had no choice but to comply.

Zane sighed, suddenly feeling the weight of his years.
