MasukLeon was in bed, crying because he had chest pains.
Evelyn woke up immediately as she heard him call her name loudly. Her heart was already beating too fast by the time she reached his room.
"Leon?" She was beside him immediately. Her hand on his back. "Baby. Talk to me."

Leon was in bed, crying because he had chest pains.Evelyn woke up immediately as she heard him call her name loudly. Her heart was already beating too fast by the time she reached his room."Leon?" She was beside him immediately. Her hand on his back. "Baby. Talk to me."Leon was curled under the blanket, one hand pressed weakly against his chest."Baby?"His eyes opened slowly."Mummy," he whispered. "It hurts," he said into the pillow."Where?""Here." He moved his hand vaguely to his chest.Evelyn sat on the edge of the bed so fast the mattress dipped beneath her.But her face stayed calm."Okay," she said softly. "Okay, sweetheart. Can you breathe for me?"He nodded a little.She watched carefully as he inhaled, ve
It was the morning of the deal finalisation Evelyn was up by five and Leon, he was home now, sleeping in his own bed,She knew the deal; partner with AS Tech, her ex husband's company. It was going to help her company a lot but she promised herself if there was anything that would go wrong today, she'dShe thought about the Jane's card she found in the hospital.She had held it in her hand for a long time last night. She had turned it over twice. She had thought about calling the number on it and then thought about what she would say and then put it in the drawer of her bedside table instead because some conversations needed to be had face to face.LUXE was already alive when she arrived at eight.Her staff had the conference room prepared. The beautiful autumn collection was displayed, the contracts printed, water and coffee on the side table, everything exactly as it should be.“Morning ma'am," Hugh greeted.“Good to see you, Mr Hugh." Evelyn smiled.Zara was in the studio going thr
Dr. Moreau came in at nine in the morning with good news for once.Leon was sitting up in bed eating toast and Gerald was propped against the pillow when the doctor walked in, reviewed the chart, checked Leon's vitals, and said the words Evelyn had been waiting three days to hear."He's strong enough to move around, at least. Short walks." He looked at Leon over his glasses. "Nothing too exciting, little one.""Got it," Leon said through a mouthful of toast."Chew your food, honey," Evelyn said.Dr. Moreau smiled. "He stays for two more days. Just for monitoring, but the worst is behind us." He looked at Evelyn properly. "He's doing well. Better than expected.""I told you," Leon said."You did," Evelyn agreed quietly.After the doctor left she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her son."Can I go to the common room with the toys?" he asked."After you finish that toast."The common room was at the end of the paediatric corridor. It was cheerful in the deliberate way of hospital
Jane did not lodge in the same hotel as Aidan.She had considered it for less than a minute after landing in Milan, then dismissed the idea entirely. He didn’t need to know her whereabouts.So, she checked into a hotel across the city where she could handle things in the shadows.From the moment she arrived, she did not rest; she changed in silence, sat on the edge of the bed for a few seconds, and opened her phone.She found his contact.An insider, connected to her by a friend. Someone who had once been paid very well to understand patterns of movement that were not meant to be noticed.She sent a message.Any updates?The reply came within minutes.Well, he's been moving between the hotel and the hospital. The name of the hospital is Necker hospital , and he was seen around the pediatric section about twice too.Jane read it twice. Her heart skipped a bit. Her head was telling her things now, but her head didn’t want to believe.Her expression did not change.She only leaned back s
Leon woke up and the first thing he said was “I'm hungry.”Not hello. Not mommy. Not where am I or what happened or why does my arm feel funny. Just that. Evelyn was out of the chair in seconds. Two days of barely sleeping had not slowed her down at all. She was just suddenly upright, eyes on him.He blinked at her.She blinked back.“Hi, Mommy,” he said.“Hi baby,” Her voice came out smaller than she meant it to. She sat on the edge of the bed and touched his face — his cheek, his forehead, his chin, just checking. Just making sure he was all there. "How do you feel?'"Hungry," he said again."Besides hungry."He thought about it. "My arm feels weird.”'That's the tube. It's giving you medicine.'He looked at it. Turned his arm slightly to see it better. "Does it have to stay?""For a little while.""Okay." He looked back at her. Just like that — okay. No fuss, no crying, just okay. He had always been like that. Even as a baby he had taken things in and sat with them. "Can I have food
A doctor came out twenty minutes after Evelyn arrived."Ms. Cole, your son is stable. He's breathing on his own and his vitals are holding. We've given him medication to regulate the episode and he's resting now.""Can I see him?" Evelyn said, her voice shaking."In a little while. We want to monitor him for the next hour before we move him to a room.""What caused it this time? Was it the same trigger as before?"The doctor paused at that. A small pause."We're running additional tests. His previous records indicate a hereditary cardiac condition and we want to be thorough. There are some areas we'd like to investigate more closely." He looked at her carefully. "Is the boy's father available? His full genetic history would help us significantly with the next steps."Evelyn held the doctor's gaze without moving."His father is not in the picture," she said. "I'll provide whatever I can from my side."The doctor nodded professionally, no judgment."Of course. We'll work with what we hav
