OliviaThe moment the door opened, my eyes immediately found the familiar figure sitting on the hospital bed.“Mom…”Mom looked up from the food she was eating, and the moment her eyes landed on me, a warm smile spread across her face.“Mom…”Without thinking twice, I hurried across the room and wrapped my arms gently around her.She laughed softly as she hugged me back. When I finally pulled away, Mom reached out and gently pinched my cheeks.“Look at you. You look so beautiful today.”A small laugh escaped me, but my eyes suddenly burned. Tears quickly gathered along my lashes as I looked at her.“Stop it, Mom.”I tried to smile, but seeing her like this made it difficult to hold back my emotions.She looked so much better.For days, I'd watched her lie weakly in that hospital bed, barely having the strength to do anything for herself.But now… she was sitting up and even eating properly. Even the color had returned to her cheeks. She looked alive and healthy again, like the mother

OliviaThe room fell completely silent.No one spoke.No one moved.Mom remained on the hospital bed, her face turned toward the door. Sam sat stiffly in the chair near the corner, his arms resting on his thighs as he stared ahead, clearly trying to process everything that had just happened.As for me, I sat a few feet away from Mom, my mind still struggling to catch up with reality.The wall clock continued ticking above us.Tick-tock.Tick-tock.Each sound seemed louder than the last in the suffocating silence. Every few seconds, my gaze drifted toward the door.My head still couldn't wrap itself around Mom's revelation.How could Shawn possibly be Sam's twin?He had his own life and family. He'd told us about his adoptive parents and the life he'd lived growing up, but there had never been anything that made me think he was connected to us by blood.And yet, Mom had looked at him and immediately seen something familiar.Could a mother's instinct really be that strong? Or was grief

ShawnMom took a deep, shaky breath.For several seconds, she said nothing. Her fingers remained wrapped around mine, but they were trembling so badly that I could feel every slight movement.Dad stood beside her, one hand resting gently against her shoulder.The room had gone completely quiet.“Eighteen years ago,” she began quietly, “your father and I went to St. Catherine Medical Center.”“We had recently acquired a stake in the hospital,” she continued. “Your father and I were part of the hospital's board partnership, so we decided to visit personally and see how the facility was being managed. We wanted to meet some of the medical staff, review the operations, and understand how everything was running.”She paused.“It was supposed to be nothing more than a business visit.” Her voice cracked slightly. “But then we decided to visit one of the hospital's wings.”“The NICU,” Dad added quietly.My chest tightened. Somehow, I already knew where this story was heading, yet nothing coul

OliviaI stepped out of the car, carefully carrying the breakfast I had prepared for Mom and Sam, who were still at the hospital.After closing the door, I locked it and turned toward the hospital entrance.“Olivia…”The familiar voice stopped me in my tracks.I stiffened and slowly turned around to see Shawn standing a short distance behind me.When did he get here?He had abruptly left the hospital yesterday, and after the way things had ended, I never expected to see him show up here again so soon.For a moment, neither of us said anything. Then I forced myself to relax.“Shawn.” I walked toward him. “How are you doing?”He didn't answer immediately. I tightened my grip around the breakfast containers before speaking again.“About yesterday… I’m really sorry. I know the request I made was absurd, and I shouldn't have put you in that position. I just—”“You don't have to apologize.” His interruption made me pause. He looked directly into my eyes. “I’m here to take the DNA test.”The

Axel“Your appointment with the Seashell Companies’ investors is scheduled for eleven-thirty at the Grand Meridian Hotel,” Freya briefed me as we walked through the company’s lobby.She glanced down at the tablet in her hand before continuing.“Ms. Olivia will be accompanying you, as you requested. She has reviewed the proposal and all the available information on Seashell Companies.”My steps slowed slightly. Turning my head, my gaze landed on her a few feet behind Freya. She was walking while working, her attention fixed on the tablet in her hand. The sight almost made me smile.This would be her first official assignment, and she appeared quite calm and ready for it.As though sensing my gaze, Olivia looked up. Our eyes met for a brief second. She gave me a subtle nod, almost as if to say she had everything under control.“Anything else?” I asked Freya.“That’s all for now, sir.”“Good.”Without another word, I walked ahead and saw Derek already waiting outside. He opened the rear
