    **Chapter 346: Take Care of Yourself**


    In the dimly lit tent, an unspoken tension hung in the air, thick enough to slice through. Neither Ethan nor Dawn dared to meet each other’s gaze, their mutual avoidance palpable. At the same moment, they both uttered a single word, “No.”


    A silence followed, heavy and awkward.


    “… Oh.” Tara’s voice broke through the stillness, a hint of disappointmentcing her tone.


    Licking her lips in contemtion, Tara sensed the weight of the moment. With no objections from either of them, she seized the opportunity to lighten the mood. “Ethan, I noticed there’s fishing gear stashed in the tent. How about we try our luck tonight? The weather is simply perfect for it. Let’s just stay here and enjoy the evening.”


    Both Dawn and Ethan nced up, their eyes briefly locking in an electrifying moment before they quickly averted their gazes, a silent acknowledgment of the lingering feelings between them. Tara noticed that spark immediately; it was a flicker of hope that ignited within her. With a decisive p of her hands, she dered, “Alright then, let’s do it!”


    From that moment on, Tara made it her mission to create little opportunities for the two of them to interact, to bridge the gap that had grown between them. At first, Dawn hesitated to voice her difort, reasoning that Tara, being older, had the authority to steer the evening’s activities.


    But then, in a surprising move, Tara zipped the tent shut, enclosing both of them within its fabric walls. “Listen,” she began, her tone firm yet understanding, “couples argue all the time, but they always find a way to reconcile. Whatever it is you two need to discuss, do it now. Don’t drag this out any longer. You’re staying here tonight!”


    Dawn felt her cheeks flush with heat—whether it was from anger, embarrassment, or the uncertainty of her feelings, she couldn’t tell. The air inside the tent had grown thick with unresolved emotions, and when the outside world finally fell silent, she hesitated. The urge to escape surged within her, and she unzipped the tent, stepping out into the cool night air, only to collide with Tara.


    Before she could formte an excuse, Ethan’s voice cut through the stillness from behind her. “Mom, what’s between us is our own business. I’m engaged now. You shouldn’t interfere. Dawn has her own life to lead.”


    His calm, measured tone floated through the night, but it struck Dawn like a cold wave crashing against her chest. He was right, she had epted that reality, but hearing him voice it so starkly sent a shiver down her spine, making it hard to breathe.


    “Mrs. Jackson, I… I can’t stay out tonight. I’m leaving,” she blurted out, her words tumbling from her lips as she turned to walk away.


    Tara, caught off guard, didn’t have the chance to stop her. Instead, she turned her frustration on Ethan, smacking him lightly on the arm. “Why are you just standing there? Go after her! If anything happens to Dawn, I swear I’ll wring your neck!”


    Ethan’s brows knitted together in concern, his fist clenching at his side. Without a second thought, he took off after her.


    Outside the tent, Victor and the other two bodyguards were waiting, their expressions a mix of surprise and relief as they spotted Dawn. They had been anxiously anticipating her return; if she chose not toe back, they had no idea how to exin it to Jonathan.


    “Ms. Porter,” Victor greeted her, his voice professional yet warm.


    Dawn kept her gaze fixed on the ground, avoiding eye contact. “Let’s go,” she replied tersely.


    As the car door swung open, Ethan emerged from the shadows, his silhouette illuminated by the headlights. He stood tall, a solid figure against the backdrop of the dark night.


    “Dawn…” he called out, his voiceced with a hint of desperation.


    She paused for a fleeting moment, yet her resolve remained firm.


    Victor frowned, raising a hand to signal Ethan. “Mr. Jackson, please stay here,” he instructed, his authority clear.


    The night was enveloped in darkness, save for a distant streetlight that flickered weakly. Ethan’s eyes were obscured in the shadows, unreadable and deep.


    “Make sure you eat properly. You’ve lost too much weight. If you need anything, let Jonathan know. Get to bed early, and when you’re feeling down, spend time with your friends,” he advised, his voice low and gravelly, each word dripping with concern.


    Dawn felt her grip tighten on the car door, battling the emotions that threatened to overwhelm her.


    Finally, he added softly, “Be safe.”


    That was all he said. Nothing more. The space between them felt impossibly vast, leaving no room for the lightness of small talk.


    As his footsteps faded into the night, Dawn continued to stare at the ground, lost in her thoughts, a storm of emotions swirling within her. Just when Victor believed she might reconsider, she bent down, slid into the car, and said coolly, “Stop spacing out. Drive.”


    “… Okay,” Victor replied, a bit taken aback by her abruptness.


    They drove off into the night, the silence in the car thick and heavy.


    Back at Seabrook, Dawn handed Victor his phone back, the weight of the day still heavy on her shoulders.


    “Thanks for everything today,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.


    He nodded politely, stepping aside to let her pass.


    After a long day spent on her feet, every muscle in her body ached. She took a long, hot shower, hoping to wash away the fatigue, and then copsed onto her bed. Yet, sleep eluded her, and she found herself staring at the ceiling, where light from outside shimmered, swaying gently with the breeze.


    Old memories flickered through her mind like scenes from a movie—faces appeared and vanished, each one a reminder that life was a series of goodbyes. She couldn’t pinpoint when she finally drifted off, but the weight of her thoughts lingered.


    A knock jolted her awake.


    Victor stood outside her door, and upon seeing her in her pajamas, he respectfully averted his gaze. “Ms. Porter, your call,” he announced.


    Dawn nced at her phone screen—it was Tara.


    “Hello, Tara,” she greeted softly, retreating back into her room. “I’m sorry. I left in such a rushst night. Did I upset you?”


    “Oh no, not at all,” Tara quickly reassured her, relief evident in her voice. “I was just worried about you. Ethan’s attitudest night… that was on me. I should’ve spoken with you first. I’m really sorry, Dawn.”


    “I understand that you mean well. You don’t need to apologize,” Dawn replied, her voice steady but tinged with the weight of theirplicated situation.


    She paused, contemting the limited chances they might have to see each other again in the near future. “Tara, I’m busy over the next few days, so I probably won’t be able to keep youpany. Please, take care of yourself.”


    “Focus on your own things first,” Tara said, a hint of unease creeping into her tone, though she couldn’t quite ce why. “We’ll have plenty of opportunitiester. Thepany doesn’t need me as much anymore, so I’ll be in Northville a lot. Just promise you won’t get tired of me.”Conclusion

In the shadows of the night, Ethan’s concern for her well-being resonated deeply, revealing the tenderness that stilly beneath the surface of their strained rtionship. Yet, the finality of his words, coupled with the distance between them, underscored the painful reality that their paths were diverging. Each step she took away from him felt like a step into the unknown, a brave yet daunting leap toward self-discovery and independence.
