Sunlight poured in through the door as Derby left it open after passing.Without another glance back, she wheeled her luggage out of the compound as she called for a cab. A few seconds later, Larissa walked over to the front door and closed it with annoyance. The house fell into silence. Larissa remained exactly where she was by the door. Then, a low chuckle escaped her lips and it grew into laughter. "My little niece..." She shook her head with an amused smile. "You've grown so much. You're giving me advice now." She walked slowly to the window and watched Derby disappear down the walkway. The smile on her face gradually changed. It became colder, darker, and even more unsettling. "Sorry, girl." She whispered."I'm not running." Her eyes hardened with dangerous resolve. "I've spent too many months waiting for Alex. I've sacrificed too much time to walk away now." She rested a hand against the windowpane, her reflection staring back at her. "If I can't have

"Yes." His voice was gentle but firm. "I've put it off for too long." He lowered his gaze briefly before resting a hand over his stomach."It's best to settle everything now that I'm expecting our…" Alex smiled and lightly tapped the tip of Lucas's nose. "No." Lucas frowned playfully. "No?" "You mean..." Alex covered Lucas's hand with his own. "...now that we're expecting our little miracle." Lucas's heart warmed. A smile slowly spread across his face. "Yes." He chuckled softly. "Whatever you say." Alex grinned triumphantly. "Much better." Lucas laughed before growing serious again. "But I still have to see Derby. I want to hand her the divorce papers myself. I think we both deserve a proper ending." Alex's smile faded. "I'll take you."Lucas immediately shook his head. "No, I'm going alone." Alex frowned."Baby..." "There is nothing to worry about."Lucas gently stroked Alex's cheek. "I don't think she'll hurt me." "If anything goes wrong.

Marvis dropped beside him instantly. Jerry spun toward Derby, whose face was soaked with tears. His expression darkened. "What did you do? Why did you push him?" Derby recoiled in horror. "No!" She shook her head frantically. "I didn't push him! It was an accident! I swear! I love him! I would never hurt him!" But neither man was listening. Their entire focus was on Lucas. Marvis gently supported Lucas's head. "Sir Lucas...Can you hear me?" Lucas's eyelids fluttered weakly.His breathing was shallow. His lips barely moved. "My…baby" He whispered hoarsely. The word had scarcely left his mouth before his body went completely limp. His head rolled to one side. Marvis's heart stopped. "Sir Lucas?" No response. Jerry's face was drained of color."Oh, no...Please...don't pass out." He tapped Lucas's cheek gently."Sir! Stay with us!" Lucas wasn't even hearing them. Jerry looked up and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Call an

Lucas's father laughed bitterly. “Legal proceedings against me. For what?" Caleb's eyes never wavered. "For manipulation. For coercion, and for contributing to the chain of events that placed Lucas in danger." The hallway fell silent again.Lucas's father's expression changed.For the first time, a flicker of uncertainty crossed his face. Caleb spoke one final time. "If you truly love your son, then stop deciding his life for him, because every decision you've forced upon him has only brought him pain." The security officers gently but firmly escorted Lucas's stunned father away from the ward. His angry protests echoed down the corridor until they finally faded into silence. A few minutes later, everyone left. Inside the private room, Alex remained seated beside Lucas's bed.He gently took Lucas's hand in both of his. Lowering his forehead against it, he whispered through fresh tears,"I almost lost you today. I won't let anything happen to you or our lit

His shoulders instinctively stiffened. His expression grew cautious. He wasn't sure whether to stay or quietly leave. Emily noticed immediately and walked over and smiled reassuringly."Relax, Brother-in-law." Alex looked at her. "Dad understands the truth now." The tension in his shoulders eased slightly. "Alright." He nodded before walking toward Dr. Kornelly. "Thank you for coming, Doctor." They shook hands warmly. "I'm glad to be here," Dr. Kornelly replied. Alex then turned to Mr. Westman."Sir..." Before he could continue, Emily spoke. "Dr. Kornelly was invited because he's been handling Lucas's medical care since childhood. He knows Lucas's condition better than anyone." Mr. Westman lowered his head.For a long moment, he couldn't find the words. Finally, he looked Alex straight in the eye. "I'm ashamed of myself."His voice was filled with regret. "I spent so much time judging you and him but I failed to understand my own son." He took a
