2025-01-12 14:21:27Alexander felt his heart clench.
He gently lifted her into his arms, cradling her against his chest.
Disturbed by the movement, Phoebe's eyes fluttered open for a moment before she closed them again. Instinctively, her head nestled deeper into his embrace. Her small hands grasped at his shirt, holding on as if afraid he might disappear, her fingers curling tightly into the fabric like a child clinging to her only source of comfort.
A ripple of emotion stirred deep within Alexander's heart.
He knew he shouldn't give her too much hope. He knew he couldn't promise her a future. But selfishly, he wanted to keep her—if only for a fleeting moment.
He knew he would eventually abandon her, that he would be ruthless when the time came. Yet, before he walked away, he wanted to shower her with the sweetest tenderness.
He understood his actions would only deepen her pain. But in that moment, he didn't care.
Guilt was absent from his mind.

Gavin seemed to sense Phoebe's confusion. He frowned slightly, his cold gaze sweeping briefly over Laura before softening as he turned to Phoebe. In a calm, measured tone, he said, "Phoebe, she was away during that time because she had some issues with her voice. I sent her abroad for treatment. I didn't tell you beforehand because I didn't want you to worry unnecessarily." Hearing his explanation, Phoebe suddenly understood. The doubt in her heart dissipated, but at the same time, a strong sense of guilt welled up inside her. Her eyes reddened slightly as she spoke with deep remorse, "I'm sorry, Gavin. I misunderstood you. How is Laura now? Has she recovered?" She looked at Laura with genuine concern in her eyes. "Not completely. Her condition is quite complicated and will take some time to heal," Gavin explained patiently. "Is it difficult to treat?" Phoebe frowned. "It can be cured, so don't worry too much.

Tonight, Phoebe had no intention of going back to her own home. Sitting in the car, she hesitated for a moment before dialing her mother's number. As soon as the call connected, her cheeks flushed, and with a hint of shyness in her voice, she murmured into the receiver, "Mom, I'm not coming home tonight. I'll be staying at Gavin's place." The moment the words left her lips, she felt as if her face had caught fire. Her naturally reserved nature made her incredibly self-conscious, and hearing her mother chuckle on the other end only deepened her embarrassment. A wave of regret surged through her—she wished she could take back what she had just said. But it was too late now. She had already agreed to go with Gavin, and she couldn't bear the thought of disappointing him. Hanging up the call, Phoebe realized her palms were damp with sweat.
