Ste sat in the back seat, looking after Amara, who was in bad shape.


    Amara murmured repeatedly, “Home… I want to go home…”


    Driving fast, Matthew kept ncing at Amara in the rearview mirror, worry filling his eyes.


    “We’re heading back to Seamarsh,” he assured her.


    Matthew took Amara back to Seamarsh, settling her in at Prosper Bay for the time being.


    Luckily, Amara’s head injury was minor, with just a little bleeding.


    Otherwise, she was fine.


    Back from the hospital, she just sat on the sofa, not saying a word.


    Matthew’s phone rang again.


    It was another call from Fernando, noticed by Ste.


    Fernando had been calling frequently, from the hospital visit till now, signaling some urgent business at work.


    Ste thought for a moment, then whispered, “You should head to the office.


    I’ll stay here with your mom.


    ”


    Matthew gave her a long Look but didn’t argue.


    He simply said, “Call me right away if you need anything.


    ”


    “Will do.N?velDrama.Org content.


    ” Ste nodded in agreement.


    After Matthew left, Ste got a ss of water and sat next to Amara.


    “Here, drink some water,” she said softly.


    Amara shook her head no, and Ste didn’t push.


    She just ced the ss on the table and sat quietly next to Amara, who was still silent.


    Eventually, Amara broke the silence.


    “Ste…”


    “Yes? Are you feeling tired? Do you want to go to your room and rest?”


    Amara let out a soft sigh and managed a bittersweet smile.


    “Do you think I’m naive? I still believe in love at my age.


    ”


    The thought of Wilbert’s sudden change filled Amara’s heart with disappointment.


    She hadpletely fallen for Garry once, only to be tricked by him, ending up pregnant with Matthew.


    Having Matthew wasn’t something she regretted.


    She was just upset with herself.


    Couldn’t she have learned from her past lesson?
