Semua Bab Side Chick Era… Over: Bab 551 - Bab 560

Wendy also stepped forward. "Just try laying a finger on Sharon!"Nate was about to speak again when Julliard stopped him."Sharon has been on edge all day for Theo's sake, facing off against those cold-blooded kidnappers. She must be exhausted by now. We'll stay here and keep watch at the hospital. Let her go back and rest."Though he blocked Nate's path, Julliard was clearly speaking to Carter.Carter glanced at Sharon. Seeing the fatigue written on her face, he gave a faint nod."Go home and rest. If anything happens here, I'll call you right away."Sharon turned to Theo. "Will you come back with me?"It was the first time she had invited Theo since moving out of the Biggs household. Kelly was still in surgery, and Carter would undoubtedly stay behind to wait for news. Though Theo had been through a terrifying ordeal today, she still bore the responsibility of being his mother.Even though she and Carter were divorced, and she had given up custody, it didn't mean she could s

After a round of emergency treatment, Kelly was no longer in any danger.Carter, Theo, and Nate stayed by her side through the night, never leaving the hospital.The next day, their care continued—gentle words, attentive gestures, concern at every turn.Kelly noticed that Carter and Theo, who had gradually begun to grow distant, were now treating her just as they used to.She was pleased.She hadn't managed to kill Sharon, true. But regaining the hearts of both father and son—well, that was still a win in her book.That day, Nate had gone out to buy food. Kelly sat alone on the hospital bed, idly scrolling through her phone, bored out of her mind. Her injuries looked severe, but in truth, they weren't serious—just superficial wounds. Nothing that would interfere with her upcoming concert.A soft knock sounded on the hospital room door.She assumed it was Nate."Nate, did Carter say anything about when he's coming…"She froze mid-sentence."Thomas... What are you doing here?"

Thomas stopped and turned to look at Nate. "Were you calling me?"Nate nodded, frowning. "What are you doing here?"Thomas's striking appearance was unforgettable—Nate recognized him immediately. He clearly remembered that Thomas had arrived yesterday with Wendy and the others."I'm here to see a doctor," Thomas replied, expressionless.Nate eyed him from head to toe, skeptical. "See a doctor? What could you possibly be sick with?You're not here to cause trouble for Kelly because of Sharon, are you?"Thomas replied lazily, "Not everyone has as much free time as you do, sir."With that, he turned and walked off.Nate watched him leave, a strange feeling stirring in his chest. When he returned to the hospital room, Kelly was stunned at the sight of his bruised and swollen face."Nate, what happened to your eye?"Just hearing the question reignited Nate's anger.Gritting his teeth, he growled, "I ran into some lunatic while I was out getting lunch. He started screaming at me, c

Wendy blinked in surprise. "I thought you didn't know anything about music. How do you know about First Love?"Thomas replied, "I heard Casey playing it earlier on the piano as we came upstairs. It sounded beautiful, and I was curious what it would feel like to hear it performed with that violin."Shaluna was a renowned violin, exceptionally rare and valuable. Many who heard of it were eager to experience its sound for themselves. When Casey first learned about the violin, she too, had once made a similar request. So no one found Thomas's interest unusual.First Love was set to be the opening piece of their upcoming concert. Though technically demanding, Sharon had composed it herself and had practiced it for years—it was second nature to her by now.She didn't hesitate. "Alright."Taking up Shaluna, she was just about to play when her phone suddenly rang.Her brows twitched slightly. It was Carter.A few seconds passed before she answered."What is it?"Carter replied, "Are y

Sharon gave a simple response, "I don't know him."Carter waited a few seconds, expecting her to say more. When she didn't, a faint crease formed between his brows. "Then why would Kelly say you do?"Sharon glanced at Kelly, her tone cool and detached. "Ask her. What's the point of asking me? I have no idea what goes on in her head."Her attitude was sharp, so sharp that even Carter found himself at a loss for how to respond.Seeing the tension rise, Kelly quickly put on a soft, injured voice."Sharon, I know you hate me. You probably wish I'd drop dead right here. But no matter how much you hate me, Theo is innocent. He's your own son…"Kelly didn't finish. Sharon cut her off, "If you know I hate you, then shut up. Otherwise, I can't promise what I'll do to you."Kelly opened her mouth to speak, then caught the flicker in Sharon's eyes. Her breath hitched.Sharon… didn't seem to be joking.Kelly's gaze shifted ever so slightly.What if she pushed Sharon just enough to get sl
