Semua Bab She Moved On and Glowed Up — Now Her Ex-Husband and Son Want Her Forgiveness: Bab 301 - Bab 310

Nora listened to Eric’s explanation and nodded thoughtfully. Someone like Professor Caldwell didn’t just rearrange his schedule for anyone. The fact that Eric had managed to persuade him to come said a lot about his connections and his sincerity.Standing nearby, Lily listened to their exchange, jealousy rising like bile in her throat. She forced a cold laugh. “So Mr. Woods has friends in such high places. Who would’ve guessed?”Eric ignored her sharp tone completely. His gaze stayed on Nora, calm and steady. “Don’t mind her,” he said softly. “The important thing is that your father made it through. You can finally breathe a little.”But Lily wasn’t ready to let it go. She raised her voice, determined to pull the attention back to herself. “Breathe? Not yet, Nora. The surgery’s done, but the real work starts now. We’ll have to keep an eye on Dad’s recovery around the clock—his diet, his meds, his rest. Every detail matters. And someone’s got to deal with all the hospital paperwork a

The moment Eric left, Lily’s entire demeanor changed—like she’d been holding herself back and finally dropped the act.She got up and started pacing around the small hospital room, muttering under her breath. “Ugh, this place is tiny and stuffy. I can barely breathe in here. And really, do you think Eric’s even reliable? He just walks out like that, maybe that whole ‘urgent work thing’ was just an excuse to bail.”Nora frowned, her patience wearing thin. “Lily, can you not start? Eric’s got real responsibilities, and he’s already done more for us than he had to.”Lily scoffed. “More for us? You mean for you. He’s just trying to play the hero so you’ll fall for it. Look—he’s gone now, and who’s left to deal with Dad? Us. Typical.”Nora took a steadying breath, fighting to stay calm. “Lily, Dad’s our responsibility. Taking care of him isn’t something we push onto other people. And Eric helped save his life—you saw that yourself. Stop twisting things just because you’re jealous.”“Je

Upstairs, Lily had overheard just enough of the conversation to catch the most important part, Quinton was in trouble. Without thinking twice, she rushed downstairs in a flurry.When Nora saw her coming, her face darkened immediately. The last thing she needed was Lily inserting herself into this. After all, everything that had gone wrong between her and Travis had somehow always circled back to her sister’s meddling.Still, this wasn’t the time to argue. The child came first. There was no point in wasting words.The three of them—Nora, Travis, and Lily—stood in a tense silence outside the pediatric ward.Lily tried to slip past Travis to peek inside, but he blocked her with one arm. “The doctor said he needs quiet right now. He’s getting IV fluids.”The meaning behind his words was obvious: she wasn’t welcome inside.Realizing that, Travis’s expression grew a little more serious. He could tell Nora wasn’t reacting the way she used to—no panic, no hesitation, just calm detachment

Nora lifted her head and looked at Lily calmly. “If you’re so eager to stay, then he’s not just my father, is he? Why don’t you take care of him for once?”During their father’s surgery, Nora had been running everywhere—calling doctors, arranging specialists, pulling favors just to save his life. Meanwhile, Lily had done nothing but stand around complaining, refusing to lift a finger unless it suited her.There was a time when Nora would’ve swallowed her anger and let it slide. But not anymore. Some people only got worse the more you tolerated them.“Forget it,” Lily snapped after a beat. “I’ll take care of him if that’s what you want.”She’d been about to argue again, just like earlier in the ward, but one glance at Travis’s cold expression made her back down. She stomped her foot, let out a sharp huff, and stormed out of the room.Silence fell once she was gone.Quinton still clutched Nora’s hand, his breathing steady again, his face streaked with drying tears.Travis stood ne

Eric didn’t even glance at Travis. Without a word, he walked straight into the room and set the takeout neatly on the bedside table. Then, almost instinctively, he took his place beside Nora.That quiet, unspoken gesture of closeness made Travis’s expression darken. His jaw tightened, eyes glinting with restrained irritation.“You’re here too? Did Quinton wake up?” Nora finally noticed Travis standing slightly behind her.“No,” he said stiffly. “I just wanted to ask if you’ve eaten.” His usual commanding tone was gone, replaced by something hesitant, almost uncertain.“I’m fine,” Nora replied evenly. “I still have lunch from earlier, and Eric just brought dinner. You don’t have to trouble yourself.”Her voice was polite but distant. Her concern for their son was genuine, but beyond that, she didn’t want any more entanglement with him.Before the silence could stretch, Lily seized the moment. She hurried over to Travis, smiling sweetly. “I haven’t eaten either. Why don’t we go gra
