Maybe this would be the last time she ever stepped in.

If she was truly going to leave, she couldn’t keep letting herself soften.

Jack was too young to understand what she really meant.

His lower lip trembled, and tears filled his eyes.

“But the room was too hot…”

“Then don’t cry when you get sick.”

Karina didn’t soften.

“You’re already making yourself miserable. Why do you have to make everyone else miserable too?”

She picked up the fever medicine that had already been prepared and held

    But during that period, a woman whose husband had betrayed her came to Karina for help.At the time, Karina wasn’t yet qualified to see patients independently.But the woman was crying so desperately that Karina couldn’t bring herself to turn her away.And that one counseling session destroyed what had once been a promising career.The woman later suffered a mental breakdown and insisted that something Karina had said during the session had triggered her and made her condition worse.After that, Karina was effectively blacklisted from the field.Even her mentor was dragged into the scandal and publicly condemned.In the end, Judy stepped in and helped put the controversy to rest.Over the years, Karina had slowly rebuilt her career on her own.As far as she was concerned, being able to start over at all was already the best outcome she could have hoped for.The person she felt most guilty toward was her mentor.If it hadn’t been for her, Professor Carter never would have…“

    Karina’s expression changed, and she immediately rushed into the office.At a glance, she spotted the young woman who had been held hostage the day before, curled up in a corner.Her eyes were vacant, and her entire body was trembling uncontrollably.A cup beside her had been knocked over accidentally, spilling water across the floor.Her coworkers crowded around the doorway, but no one dared approach.After what they had all witnessed yesterday, everyone understood how fragile her condition was.Even one wrong word could trigger a reaction with irreversible consequences.“Everyone, leave the room and close the door. I’ll handle this.”Karina calmly walked toward the young woman.“Don’t be afraid. We don’t have to talk about what happened.”Adrian immediately cooperated, leading the rest of the employees out.Before leaving, he looked at Karina and said seriously,“If anything happens, call for me immediately.”The door closed.Adrian didn’t leave. He stayed right outside

    If that was how things were, then the sooner they divorced, the better.If Mark refused, Karina would find someone else who could help her make it happen.There was always another way.She didn’t dwell on it for long and soon fell asleep.Sometime in the middle of the night, half asleep, she heard commotion outside her door.A servant’s anxious voice rang out.“Mrs. Foster, please wake up! Jack’s condition suddenly got worse overnight. His fever won’t come down, and he’s been vomiting and having diarrhea nonstop... He’s crying so badly that none of us can calm him down!”Still heavy with sleep, Karina rolled over tiredly.“If he’s sick, call the family doctor. I’m not a doctor. What good will waking me up do?”With that, she pulled the blanket over herself and went back to sleep.The servants outside exchanged helpless looks before hurrying away.They called the family doctor in the middle of the night.The house remained noisy for hours.But Karina had been exhausted from

    Jack was still too young to understand the coldness behind Karina’s words.All he heard was that Mom had finally said yes.He nodded eagerly and immediately threw himself back into Mark’s arms.“Yay! Dad, Mom said I can go out. Mom’s being so nice today!”Karina stood where she was, the corner of her mouth lifting in a bitter smile.So apparently, letting him do whatever he wanted was what made her a good mother.But it didn’t matter anymore.A faint chill flashed across Mark’s expression.“No. It’s too late. Go to bed.”The smile vanished from Jack’s face.His lower lip pushed out, and his eyes immediately began to redden again.He tugged at Mark’s pant leg, clearly wanting to plead with him.But the moment he met his father’s dark gaze, he lowered his head.Jack had never dared throw tantrums with Mark.In the end, he swallowed his disappointment and murmured,“Okay.”Then he turned and trudged back to his own room alone.He was so disappointed that he had completely

    Heartbreak didn’t happen all at once.It was built from disappointment after disappointment.Sooner or later, Karina was going to leave this marriage.When she had first started thinking about divorce, she had been willing to walk away with nothing as long as she could take Jack with her.But now, she had nothing left tying her down.If she was going to let go eventually, she might as well start pulling away now.There was no point pouring more love into a relationship that no longer deserved it.“Mom’s really mad at me.”Only now did Jack truly start to panic.He had never seen his mother this cold toward him before.He was always saying he wanted Aunt Serena, but he had never actually wanted his mother to leave.Not knowing what else to do, Jack buried himself in Mark’s arms and burst into tears.“Dad, what do I do? I feel like Mom really doesn’t want me anymore.”Mark carried him out of the car, deliberately downplaying the situation.“Stop overthinking it. She’s just

    “Mom.”Jack stared at Karina in disbelief.Whenever he got hurt before, she was always the first one to panic and rush over to comfort him.But he had called her so many times, and she still hadn’t responded.Karina finished typing a message before finally coming back to her senses.She turned and saw the red mark on Jack’s forehead.Her hand instinctively lifted toward him.But her fingers stopped halfway.There was no point doing more than necessary.She lowered her hand and said calmly,“You only bumped it. It’s nothing serious. The pain will go away in a little while. The car is moving, so sit properly.”Just then, another message from Adrian came through.Karina’s attention returned to her phone, and she began replying seriously.Jack’s eyes widened, panic filling them.Every other time he had gotten hurt, Mom had immediately pulled him into her arms.Even when he was only pretending, she would still soothe him gently.But this time, he was genuinely hurting and cr
