Theo, sensing the depth of Elyse’s concern, understood her feelings all too well. As a new mother, her instinct to
protect ran deep.
He offered her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, Elyse. Judy’s husband is a good man. He toldhe won't even
think of remarrying until the child is grown.”
Elyse’s eyebrows arched in surprise. “Does he truly have the strength to endure such loneliness for years?”
Theo coughed softly, his voice lowering to a near whisper. “He’s something of a recluse, more comfortable in
solitude than surrounded by others. He married only to ensure his lineage. For him, this child is enough—no need
for more ties or obligations.”
Elyse nodded, understanding now. The quiet strength of the man was clearer to her.

“I've said all | need to about Kieran’s situation,” Theo continued. “I'll take my leave now. We'll talk again soon.”
Jayden, watching Theo walk away, muttered with a grin, “This time, he didn’t drag things out. He showed some
grace and left quickly.”
Elyse noticed Jayden’s soft murmur and couldn't resist asking, “What are you saying over there?”
Jayden shrugged, a playful smile on his lips. “Nothing much. I'm just here to keep you company.” He pulled her
gently into his arms, his voice soft and sincere. “We'll always be together, won't we?”
Elyse looked up at him, her brow furrowing in confusion. “Why the sudden question?”
Jayden’s tone shifted, a quiet vulnerability in his words. “When you were unconscious, | was terrified. | kept
wondering... What would | do if you never woke up? Could I raise two children on my own?”

Tears welled up in Elyse’s eyes as she embraced him, her voice a gentle promise. “Don’t be afraid. | won't leave
you. No matter what, I'll fight my way back to you. Even if I'm standing at death's door, I'll hold on. I'll return to
you.”
She added softly, “How could | ever leave you and the children behind?”
Her words pierced his heart, striking deep at the fears he had buried for so long. From a young age, he had never
known the warmth of acceptance, especially after moving in with Enzo. He had always felt like a foreigner in his
own life, a castaway stranded on a deserted island, surrounded by a vast ocean with no one to visit. On that
island, he was free but utterly alone.
But now, the tides had receded, and a path had appeared, stretching out toward the horizon.
As he walked this new path, he couldn't shake the feeling of dread, always fearing that the tide might suddenly
rise and sweep him away again. If it did, there would be no going back. He would even lose the island—the one
place where he had ever felt truly safe.
Yet the journey had brought him to a new shore, one far larger than the last. More importantly, this place was
filled with the warmth of family, of those he loved.
Elyse gazed out the window, her thoughts drifting. “When can we leave the hospital?” she asked, her voice soft
with longing.
Jayden smiled and answered, “The day after tomorrow. But if you're ready to go, we can leave early. Everything's
prepared at home.”
Elyse’s eyes brightened. “Then let’s go htomorrow. | miss it.”
Jayden nodded. “Alright. Tomorrow, we go home.”
The following day, Elyse and Jayden returned hwith their two little ones in tow. The house was soon filled
with friends bearing gifts, eager to see Elyse looking so well.
Tracy, almost overcwith joy, enveloped Elyse in a tight hug. “I thought you were going to beca
vegetable, sleeping for so long without waking up! You scaredhalf to death!”
