"I’m very worried about whether my brother can hold on. He’s been outside Ariel’s hospital room all day, refusing to take a break."

Nico Haynes looked at Dawn Sutherland, his voice low, "Dawn, should we go see Arlo?"

Dawn Sutherland shook his head, "Right now, Arlo is at his weakest, and he definitely doesn’t want others to see. Let him stay with Ariel. This situation would be hard for anyone. I just hope Ariel can make it through. Otherwise, these two children in Arlo’s heart might become nothing more than a scar and a knot."

Nicole paused, "You’re right, my brother hasn’t looked directly at these two children until now; he’s very indifferent to them. If anything happens to Ariel, these two children... My brother might never like them. In my brother’s heart, Ariel is the most important, more important than the children."

Dawn Sutherland and Daisy Grant drove away from the hospital by nightfall.

When they returned to the Grant Family home, Mother Grant, Sophie Brown, was already asleep. Daisy went to her mother’s room to check on her. Seeing her mother’s increasingly poor complexion, Daisy felt pained and quietly withdrew in silence.

Daisy returned to her bedroom just as Dawn Sutherland finished his shower and came out of the bathroom, wearing a set of pajamas. Seeing Daisy standing on the balcony lost in thought, he walked over.

Dawn approached, "Daisy, what are you thinking about?"

Daisy looked at Dawn standing so close, his handsome features captivating her soul, exuding a faint scent of shower gel that smelled so good it made her blush a little, feeling unnatural.

"Thinking about the Grant Clan, thinking about my mother’s illness, about the future, about... so much." Daisy’s voice was soft.

Dawn wrapped his arm around Daisy’s shoulder, his voice gentle, "Don’t think too much. Just focus on yourself right now, think about happy things. That’s also good for the child’s growth."

At the mention of the child, Daisy’s eyes lowered, "Today I saw Ariel’s child at the hospital, very cute. Dawn... do you prefer boys or girls?"

Dawn’s gaze deepened as it fell on Daisy’s stomach, "I like both."

The only regret is that this child isn’t his.

Daisy responded with a soft hum, her voice inexplicably low, "Dawn, can I ask you why you agreed to become Evalian Chapman’s boyfriend, even get married?"

If it was really because Dawn made up his mind to forget that person in his heart and married Evalian, she truly has ruined Evalian’s happiness.

Dawn’s body stiffened slightly, his expression heavy, his voice even more so, "Daisy, I..."

"Dawn, did you have feelings for Evalian, wanting to develop further, so you started dating her?" Daisy looked at Dawn, her eyes a bit deep.

But Dawn’s gaze was even deeper, looking into the depths of Daisy’s eyes, "No... apart from her, I’ve never liked anyone else, including Evalian."

Daisy’s heart clenched hard.

Even though Dawn not liking Evalian relieved her, apart from that her, Dawn has never liked any other woman.

This includes herself—

So all the sweetness and happiness they’ve shared all this time is actually just fragile bubbles. Dawn only sees her as a sister, accompanying her out of the shadow of her father’s death.

If that her were to return, to find Dawn...

Daisy’s fingertips trembled slightly, a bitter taste at the corner of her mouth, "Dawn, what about Evalian?"

She doesn’t want to be caught in the middle, between that person in Dawn’s heart and Evalian.

Dawn’s hand slowly fell from Daisy’s shoulder, his eyes filled with guilt and regret, his voice heavy, "I’ve had relations with Evalian... Daisy, I’m sorry."
