Chapter 125

Author: Lightmoon
Shortly after Marisol woke up, she noticed there was someone else in the bed with her. After discovering it was the child she had rescued, she didn't dare move around and kept lying still.

Julius glared at the child in her arms and growled through gritted teeth, "This little brat woke up not long after getting to the hospital, but nothing anyone said worked. The moment we tried to take him away from you, he'd struggle and cry nonstop—it was such a commotion. We were worried he'd reopen his wounds, so in the end, the only option was to let him stay with you."

Marisol understood. The boy was still so young, and after everything he'd been through, the last thing he had was a sense of safety. She was the one who'd saved him—maybe the only person in his world right now who made him feel even remotely safe.

Even so...

"Where are his parents? Haven't they come looking for him?"

Julius shook his head. "Not sure yet. The police are still investigating and trying to get in touch."

    "Mom, Happy Renewal Day!" Marisol's expression softened at the sound of Andre's cheerful voice on the other end of the line. She had thought he wouldn't reach out this year. The Renewal Day gifts she'd prepared—toys, jewelry, little trinkets—ended up sitting untouched. So, on the day itself, she transferred 10,000 dollars into his account as a holiday allowance. Even if it was a little late now, at least he still called. Marisol's voice turned gentle as she asked about Andre's recent days, listening patiently as he chatted about the fun little things he'd experienced.After a few minutes of chatting, Andre suddenly asked, "Mom, Dad said you were busy and couldn't come back for Renewal Day. Are you done now? I miss you. Can you come home and play with me today?"Marisol's heart stirred. Maybe it was because she had just saved a child, or maybe her emotions were already worn thin, but in that moment, she really did want to see Andre. However, her body was still weak from the

    However, Alinta's next sentence made Marisol's hand freeze as she stroked Orion, her scalp prickling with horror."The night it happened… the kid was home."...That night, Orion had been at home with the nanny. Sienna, completely unhinged after what she saw, came home and immediately told the nanny to leave. In court, she claimed it was to prevent the scandal from spreading beyond the family. She never expected that the argument would escalate into a violent crime.Things got so loud in the house that it drew the attention of the neighbors. The front door wasn't even fully shut, so it was easy to push open. When the neighbors stepped in, they were stunned by what they saw—Giovanni lay dead in a pool of blood, and three-year-old Orion was sitting beside him, clutching a stuffed toy. He was soaked head to toe in blood, and his eyes were wide and clear, but he wasn't crying. He just sat there like he'd turned to stone.Sienna was still holding the knife and was about to attack Ori

    Alinta didn't keep them guessing any longer. She gave a quick, straightforward rundown of the case.It was an old case from about five or six years ago. The main people involved were Nolan's sister, Sienna Perrin, and her husband, Giovanni Evans. They met and fell in love during college.The two came from vastly different worlds. Sienna was born into wealth and privilege, while Giovanni came from an average family. The Perrins initially opposed the relationship, but the couple fought for their love and eventually married.After marriage, Sienna became an executive in the family business, while Giovanni, a brilliant doctor, used the Perrins' influence to rise quickly through the ranks at a major city hospital. Within just a few years, he became the head of the surgical department—young, successful, and respected. They had Orion not long after getting married. With thriving careers and a picture-perfect family, people admired them. However, the happiness didn't last.On June 1st

    Marisol gently patted his head and said, "Don't be silly."After all, even her own son didn't grow up well under her care. Andre barely spoke to her, and just thinking about him made her heart sink a little....Not long after, Alinta returned. She had just finished handling the hospital admission paperwork, and even before the door opened, her loud voice echoed in from the hallway."Well, this is a first. After getting the paperwork done, I went to pay the bill, and the nurse told me some guy had already paid everything upfront. Didn't leave his name or anything. Just dipped like some anonymous Good Samaritan."Marisol raised an eyebrow, guessing, "Was it Nolan?" Julius scoffed. "Fake as hell.""Nolan?" Alinta pulled a chair over, took a seat, and chugged a few gulps of water before asking curiously, "What was he even doing here?"Marisol glanced down at the sleeping child in her arms. "This is Orion Perrin, Nolan's nephew."Alinta's eyes went wide. After a second, she slapp

    The hospital room fell into a long stretch of silence, and no one said a word. Marisol had no idea what to say, and anything that came to mind felt like it would be offensive.The whole situation was just too bizarre.The silence turned awkward fast. After a while, she figured saying nothing might be even ruder.Just as she was about to find something to say, Nolan finally spoke up, his voice hesitant. "Could you… maybe help watch Orion for a few days?""What?" Julius shot up from his chair. "Nolan, where do you even get the nerve to ask Marisol to take care of the boy? Do I need to remind you how you treated her before?" "Julius." Marisol's voice was soft but firm. She stopped him, though she didn't say yes either.She did feel sympathy for Orion Perrin, and her heart ached over what he'd gone through. However, her issues with Nolan were real. Although adult matters had nothing to do with the child, it would be false to say she didn't feel resistant inside. Nolan had no come
