?<strong>Chapter 792:</strong>


    Regina frowned and replied, “Stop the act. You were merciless at the time of the ident. What right do you have to see her now?”


    The memory of that day returned, causing Dorian to tremble. His shoulders sagged further as he muttered an apology to the air, “I’m sorry.”


    Regina felt a twinge in her heart and looked his way, catching sight of tears forming at the corners of his eyes. She hesitated, visibly surprised.


    Dorian caught Regina’s hand, his eyes welling up as he said, “Regina, please.”


    Regina, puzzled by his sudden change, asked, “Dorian, what’s gotten into you? You’ve always disliked Alicia, so why do you look so concerned about her now?”


    Dorian found himself unable to articte his feelings. Finally, Regina, worn out and unable to stay indifferent, consented to his request.


    “Fine, I can take you to see her, but there’s one thing you must remember. She’s just gotten better, so don’t disturb her peace,” Regina warned.


    Though Regina and Alicia rarely interacted, Alicia was not likely to deny a visit from her.


    Upon their arrival at the maternity center, Alicia had just finished her discharge paperwork and was ready to leave. Regina saw how much weight Alicia had lost and felt a surge of sadness.


    “You’ve endured so much, Alicia,” Regina said softly.


    Alicia responded, her expression softening, “Thank you foring, Mrs. Ward Moss.”


    Alicia yearned for the warmth Regina brought, yet she hesitated to approach too closely since Regina was Ynda’s mother. Dorian, too embarrassed to meet her gaze, observed from a distance through the ss. His eyes were red as he watched intently, his stare so obvious that Alicia quickly became aware of it. Father and daughter’s eyes met abruptly. Dorian turned away hurriedly in his distress.


    Alicia’s heart, usually so steady, now stirred with deep emotions. Before she cked out, she had seen Dorian at the scene of the ident and knew exactly who was to me. She resented him for how Ynda had been raised and loathed him even more for the loss of her own child. Yet, she felt trapped. The Moss family held considerable power, and without any safeguard, Alicia waspelled to keep silent.


    She said inly, “Mrs. Moss, I believe there’s something he needs to address. Please let him in, but after we settle this matter, I’d prefer we cut all ties.”


    Regina was caught off guard by Dorian’s mishap, being exposed so soon. She managed a forced smile and said, “Dorian feels remorseful and wants to offer you his apologies.” Alicia dismissed the idea, saying, “There’s no need.” Regina agreed silently. Frankly, Dorian’s presence today was utterly distasteful. She regretted letting hime.


    Unable to hold back after hearing Alicia’s wish to sever ties, Dorian burst through the door, visibly distressed. His face was filled with emotion as he gazed directly at Alicia. He burst in suddenly, gasping like an excited child. An ufortable silence enveloped the room. Dorian managed to smile, though it resembled a grimace more than anything else.


    “Alicia, how are you feeling?” he asked. Alicia responded with detachment, “I’m good, thank you for your concern, Mr. Moss.”
