Chapter 639 A Quiet Unease
Chapter 639 A Quiet Unease
Love is a bad thing.
Anna used to be so carefree and lively. Now, even she had moments like this–soft, emotional, and sentimental.
After ying in the yard for a while, everyone went back into the living room.
A bodyguard brought over a brand–new phone.

Dawn put in the SIM card and then handed it to Anna. “It’s registered under Ethan’s ID. Leon could try to trace you, but he won’t be able to. Use it without worry.”
“Dawn…”
“Stop.”
Dawn raised one hand to cut her off. “Stop thanking me. We don’t need that between us. Just be yourself, okay?”
Anna looked at her. Her eyes were red, but she was smiling. She nodded.
The house suddenly felt lively. Even Raven seemed happy.
That night, a big dinner was prepared. There was something everyone liked.
Austin was very busy with work. Even during the meal, his phone kept ringing. Dawn finally took it away from him. “When you’re eating, you focus on your meal,” she said firmly. “Your job right now is to gain some weight. Got it?”
Austin looked helpless. When he turned, he met the warning look in Dawn’s eyes.
“Little Grandpa, eat.”
Dawn froze when she saw Dulce grab a rib with her bare hand and hold it out. “Well, you don’t have to eat it. It’s okay-”
Before she could finish, Austin had already taken the rib and put it into his mouth. He even looked like he was enjoying it.
This…
Was this what people meant by grandparents being extra soft on their granddaughter?
Dawn twitched her lips and whispered to Dulce, “Little Grandpa has his utensils. You don’t need to worry about him, okay, sweetheart? Just take care of yourself.”
Dulce blinked. “Oh.”
The very next second…
“Well then, Little Grandpa, eat?”
Another piece of asparagusnded on Austin’s te.
Dawn and Ethan exchanged a look. They wanted to stop her, but Austin looked perfectly happy.

Forget it. Dulce’s hands were clean anyway. If it helped him eat more, that was fine.
Dawn smiled helplessly and carried Austin’s phone into the living room.
Just as she set it down, the phone vibrated.
A message popped up on the screen.
“Central Hospital Reminder: Your test results have…”
She couldn’t see the rest, but just that opening made Dawn frown.
<i>Central </i><i>Hospital</i><i>? </i><i>Test </i><i>results</i><i>? </i><i>Is </i><i>Uncle </i><i>Austin </i><i>sick</i><i>? </i>
She nced back toward the dining room. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

Austin was wearing only a shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He looked at Dulce with patience and gentle care. He didn’t look sick at all.
Dawn’s heartbeat slowly settled. She decided to ask him after dinner.
Not long after, Tony came by to report work matters and went upstairs to the study with Ethan.
Anna had been running around all day. She went upstairs to shower.
That left only Dawn, Austin, and the constantly chatting Dulce in the living room.
The adults naturally yed with Dulce, talking casually as they did.
“Oh, right,” Dawn said. “I saw a message on your phone earlier. It was from Central Hospital. Did you go for a medical checkup?”
Austin paused.
In his deep eyes, something surged–like heavy waves–before being hidden by loweredshes.
He gave a quiet response. “Yeah. A routine medical check.”
“Really?”
Dawn tilted her head and looked at him. Something felt off. “You never go for those. Why are you suddenly being so obedient? Tell me-”
Austin looked up. His brows were tightly knit, like storm clouds gathering.
“You didn’t fall for a female doctor, did you?”
Dawn lowered her voice and guessed dramatically. “Want me to help you?”
Austin’s eyes flickered. He smiled.
He picked up one of Dulce’s toys. “That’s what you think?”
“What else would it be?” Dawn pouted. “It can’t be illness. That’s impossible. You’ve always been healthy, and you exercise all the time. I don’t even need to guess,”

Austin kept looking at her gently. His eyes were dark and bright, filled with quiet warmth.
“Mmm.”
He answered softly, “There is someone.”
“Really?”

Dawn froze for a second, then she leaned closer, clearly ready for a deep talk. “What’s her name? Which department does she work in? I’m telling you, if you finally like someone, you have to hold on tight. You’re not young anymore. You should start a family.”
You <i>should </i>start <i>a </i><i>family</i><i>. </i>
Those words hit Austin in a strange way, warming his chest.
He gave a helpless smile. “Is it because you’re a mom now? You sound way more naggy than before.”
“Hmph.”
Dawn shot him a look. “I just want you to find someone already.”
But when she thought about it more carefully, this wasn’t something that could be rushed.
They still didn’t know where Sydney was. If that woman found out Austin had someone new and lost control again, what should they do?
“Uncle Austin,” Dawn asked seriously, “your people still haven’t found Sydney?”
“<b>No.</b><b>” </b>
Austin’s expression grew heavier. His face turned solemn. “Northville is huge. If someone really wants to disappear, it’s easy. And she’s always been very calcting.”
