The doctor led Andrew to his ward.

I followed a nurse to complete the paperwork.

When I returned, Andrew’s wounds were bandaged.

Upon seeing me, Andrew rose from bed and apologized like a child who’d misbehaved.

“Earlier in the car… I’m so sorry.

Did I frighten you?”

I shook my head, not wanting him to dwell on self-blame.

“No, I understand you were drugged.

Relief washed over Andrew’s face.

He turned to the window, noticing the approaching darkness.

“It’s getting late.

Should I have the driver take you back to the manor?”

Concern filled me as I looked at Andrew.

His bandaged hands and face were a sorry sight.

“What about you? Do you need company?”

Andrew smiled reassuringly.

“The bodyguards will be here.

Besides, the doctor said the burns aren’t extensive, so it shouldn’t be too risky.

Go home and rest.

Don’t worry about me.

I hesitated slightly.

It had been a whole day since I’d seen Abby.

I missed my child dearly.

Now that Andrew wasn’t in immediate danger, with bodyguards and nurses around, there wasn’t a strong reason for me to stay.

Feeling a sense of relief, I decided to leave.

However, I couldn’t depart without expressing my concern.

“Get some rest.

I’ll visit tomorrow.

“Sounds good,” Andrew replied with a smile.

A thought struck me.

“What do you need for breakfast? I can bring something tomorrow.

Andrew’s voice held a hint of shyness.

“Would you mind cooking for me? I’d love something you made.

Andrew’s request surprised me a bit.

My cooking wasn’t exceptional.

But considering he was a patient, I agreed.

Reaching the manor, I went to see Abby.

Nora cradled her, feeding her as I entered.

She smiled as she saw me.

“Why are you back so late?” she

whispered nervously.

Assuming Nora worried about my safety on the night roads, I explained, “Just an accident at the party.

No need to worry.

Andrew’s driver brought me home.

Nora’s expression changed, but she remained silent.

Instead, she cooed to Abby, “Look, Mommy’s here.

Happy to see her?”

As if by some maternal telepathy, Abby offered a sweet smile.

Seeing Abby’s smile melted my heart.

I quickly took her from Nora.

Her bright smile filled me with warmth.

Nora and I played with Abby, coaxing her to sleep.

I stayed until she drifted off.

Debra’s POV:

Leaving Abby sleeping, I tiptoed out.

To my surprise, Nora followed.

”Is everything alright? Is Abby…”
