AVERY WINTERS NEXT MORNINGMorning came far earlier than usual for the both of us.Normally, he would wake up around 6:30 every morning, but today, by exactly five o’clock, he was already awake and getting dressed.Honestly, I doubted he had gotten any sleep at all throughout the night.I remained silent and simply watched him quietly as he prepared himself. I knew his mind was restless, and there was nothing I could say right now that would calm the storm raging inside him completely.Once he finished dressing up, he walked toward me and stopped directly in front of the bed.“You’re leaving this early?” I asked softly, my sleepy voice barely above a whisper. “It’s not even six o’clock yet, Bernard. At least wait until the weather clears up a little.”“That’s exactly why I need to leave now,” he replied immediately. “I need to get this over with once and for all. I just… I don’t know anymore, Avery.”His voice sounded tired, anxious, and emotionally drained.“Do you want me to come w

AVERY WINTERS“Oh my goodness…” I gasped out in complete shock.The paper slipped right out of my fingers and fluttered onto the floor as both of my hands flew toward my mouth instinctively. My eyes widened so much that they almost popped out of its socket. For a moment, my entire body froze from disbelief before I regain my composure back.“Dear, what does it say?” Rose asked immediately, her voice filled with concern as she stared at my shocked expression. “Why do you look so startled? Is Aaron really not Bernard's child?”I quickly bent down, picked up the report with shaky hands, and looked back at her with tears already welling up in my eyes.“He’s… he’s truly Bernard's son, Mom,” I whispered softly. “Aaron truly carries Bernard's blood in his veins.”I handed the paper over to her immediately as those words left my mouth.Rose calmly collected the document from me and carefully went through the result herself. Surprisingly, unlike me, she remained completely composed. There was

AVERY WINTERS “It’s honestly hard to believe that Aaron actually turned out to be Bernard biological son,” Scarlet said in complete disbelief over the phone.“So how exactly is Bernard reacting to all of this now?” Ivy chimed in.I sighed heavily before leaning back into my chair tiredly.“Well…” I trailed off slowly. “I honestly don’t even know how to explain it properly. Ever since he returned from the hospital, he’s been acting strangely.”I rubbed my forehead lightly before continuing.“Right now, as we’re speaking, he’s inside his study burying himself completely in work.”“If I were in his position, I would probably do the exact same thing,” Charlotte admitted immediately. “Just give him some time, Avery. He will eventually come around.”“You really think so?” I asked uncertainly. “Because honestly, I’m confused. He should be happy about this, shouldn’t he? I don’t understand why he’s still so moody.”“You need to understand what he’s going through emotionally,” Scarlet said so

AVERY WINTERSAs my eyes slowly fluttered open, the very first thing I saw was Bernard's face hovering above mine.His brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes were filled with so much worry that my heart instantly skipped a beat.“Babe… you’re awake,” he whispered softly, his voice still laced heavily with concern and relief at the same time.“Ben…” I called weakly as I attempted to sit up immediately, but he quickly stopped me by gently pressing his hand against my shoulder.However, I was far too stubborn to simply lie there quietly without knowing what was going on.I slowly pushed myself upward despite his protest and looked around the room in confusion.“What happened to me?” I asked anxiously. “And… how did I get here?”I could vividly remember fainting earlier, but what I didn’t understand was why it even happened in the first place.It’s not like I’m sick… right?The thought instantly made uneasiness worry settle deep inside my chest.“What happened, Ben?” I asked again, this
