There was a brief silence before Arnold spoke again, his voice softer but still distant.
"Alex is sick. He needs your care." The line went quiet, and before she could ask any follow-up questions, the call ended abruptly.
Sarah's heart tightened with concern as she realized that her child was unwell.
Without wasting another moment, she turned her car around and headed straight for the villa.
Upon her arrival, Sarah hurried inside to find Alex sitting dazed in the living room.

It was more than just food; it was a connection to hand safety.
Resolving to make him feel better, Sarah excused herself and headed downstairs to the kitchen.
The aroma of fresh ingredients and the clatter of utensils filled the space as she prepared a meal with practiced ease.
Meanwhile, a kind servant took charge of Alex, ensuring he was comfortable and attended to.
Despite the efforts to comfort him, Alex's eyes welled up with tears as he whispered, “I miss Dad. I want to see him." Concern deepened in Sarah's eyes. She turned to the servant, asking quietly, “Have you seen Alpha Arnold today? He should have been here by now, especially after hearing about Alex's condition." The servant shook his head, regretfully informing her that Arnold had not yet returned.
A frown creased Sarah's forehead as she pondered the situation.
Alex's illness had been mentioned by Arnold, and it was logical that he should be the one to return hfirst. However, if he had chosen to take Linda hfirst, or if he hadn't planned on coming back this evening, that would have been a different story.

It was the familiar aroma of pine mixed with a gentle hint of roses.

Sarah's face tightened as she averted her gaze.
She stood up quickly and took a step back, hoping to put sdistance between herself and Arnold.
She could not stand being so close, not when his scent carried that reminder of Linda.
Arnold, absorbed in his concern for Alex, did not notice Sarah's cold reaction.
With a casual smile, he removed his blazer and held it out to her.
Arnold looked over at Sarah, who was a little out of sorts, and asked, "How is Alex feeling?" His eyes searched hers for any sign of worry.

She took a small step to the side, refusing to accept it. In the past, she had cherished moments like these.
The touch of Arnold's jacket had once filled her with warmth, and she had felt blessed to hold something that belonged to him. But now, the scent on the fabric made her feel uneasy and even a little sick.
Her stomach churned as she tried to hold back the rising emotion.
Suppressing her feelings, Sarah mumbled, “I need to go downstairs. I have dinner to prepare for Alex." She turned and left the room quickly, her steps deliberate and heavy.
As she walked away, Arnold's eyes lingered on the jacket still clutched in his hand.
He looked down at it with a mix of confusion and regret, as if wondering why the familiar comfort it once brought him now caused such tension.

However, Alex, with his tender heart, pouted and tugged at her hand.
"Mom, please stay a little longer," he pleaded, his voice soft and sincere.
