“Do you have to leave tonight?” Lana asked, absentmindedly staring into her bowl.

“In a couple of days,” Kai replied.

“Can’t you stay? I don’t want you to go,” Lana said, hoping to keep Kai by her side.

Kai remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, “It’s different this time. The mission is critical, and they

need me to complete it.

“Alright, I support you. You’re the best. When you come up with a groundbreaking cancer treatment, both the baby

and I will be so proud of you,” she said with a warm smile.

Kai grinned and caressed her hair gently. He said, “Then wait here for me, okay? I worry about you being alone at

home. The hospital is close to the research institute, and I’ll visit whenever I can.”

“I understand. I’ll wait here for you,” Lana said.

After dinner, Kai washed the dishes before retreating to his room for a bath. When he was done, he left a single

bedside lamp on. Just as sleep began to claim him, he heard the door creak open. Lana, clad in maternity pajamas

and holding a pillow, stood beside the bed. She asked, “Can I sleep with you tonight?”

Before Kai could answer, Lana had already climbed into bed and snuggled against him. He wrapped his arms

around her, her soft scent filling the air. By eleven that night, Lana had not changed her position. The room was so

quiet one could hear Kai’s uneven breathing. Lana asked, “Are you asleep?”

“No.”

“Is it because I’m here that you can’t sleep?”

“No, don’t overthink it. Just sleep,” Kai said, reaching over to switch off the bedside lamp and plunging the room

into darkness.

‘Am I doing the right thing? And what about this child? Is this really what you want, Andrew?’ Kai’s mind was a

storm of conflicting thoughts. After Kai felt Lana’s breathing even out in sleep, he carefully pulled his arm away and

got out of bed, leaving the room.

On the fifteenth-floor terrace, there stood another man who also could not sleep. Kai approached and stood beside

him, “If you keep standing here, you’ll turn into a statue.”

Zach responded, “When are you leaving?”

“After Christmas. Who knows when I’ll see her again,” Kai sighed.

Snow had blanketed the city that day, turning everything white. Kai added, “It’s been a long time since it snowed

this much here. If she never wakes up, are you going to wait forever?”

Zach remained silent. Even he did not know the answer to that question.

Kai chuckled, “Never mind. You’re a man of few words. I won’t get much out of you. Unlike you, I still have a chance

at redemption. Once she wakes up, I don’t know what you’ll do.”

‘Shut up if you have nothing good to say,” Zach snapped.

“You know, Zach, I’ve understood what it feels like to truly care for someone. I can’t bear to tell her that the man

she loves is already gone. To save her from the pain, I hypnotized her into believing that I am him,” Kai confessed.
