    The therapist had been right. Anna’s condition was improving–slowly, steadily. She could even take care of Dulce on her own now.


    Seeing that, Dawn finally let herself breathe a little easier.


    She quietly summoned one of the bodyguards and asked, “Is that Graves guy still outside?”


    “Yes, miss.”


    ‘Heh. Guess he’s learned patience now.” Dawn’s gaze turned cold. “Keep an eye inside. If Annaes out, give me a signal. I’m going to have a word with him.”


    When she said she wanted to meet him, she meant it.


    She even went upstairs and changed into something sharp and practical.


    Passing the yroom, she heardughter spilling out–Anna and Dulce were in the middle of a game,pletely absorbed.


    Dawn quickened her steps down the stairs. Outside the vi, the man stood tall by the hood of his car, cigarette between his ingers. He didn’t look surprised to see her. He flicked the half–smoked cigarette to the ground and crushed it under his shoe.


    ‘Littering like that? Real ssy. Looks like Mr. Graves isn’t much of a man, and his manners are trash, too.”


    She didn’t hold back as she stopped just a few steps away from him. Her eyes stayed frosty.


    Leon didn’t seem offended. He asked quietly, “How is she?”


    ‘Thanks to you, nothing’s blown up. Yet.”


    “I’m sorry.”


    “If apologies worked, we wouldn’t need the police.” Dawn let out a short, mockingugh and met his gaze head–on. “I used to think that, despite your messy family background, you at least had decent character. Now, I think my eyes were busted. I take it back.”


    Leon frowned. His deep–set eyes looked as if they were buried beneath heavy fog. “What happened between Anna and me isn’t as simple as you think.”


    “So?”


    Dawn scoffed. “And what exactly are you trying to say?


    “Don’t tell me you still n to cling to her and refuse to let go.”


    Leon stayed silent for several seconds. No one knew what ran through his head. Light washed over those handsome features like a shield, hiding everything.


    “Yes,” he said hoarsely.


    “I won’t let her go.”


    “Keep dreaming.”

    Dawn wanted to curse him out, but it felt like a waste of breath. The more she said, the more it would seem like this man still had power over their lives.


    She took a deep breath and said coldly, “Mr. Graves, let me be honest. I will never allow you near Anna again. Once her condition stabilizes a bit more, I’ll notify her family to take her back to Trifton. As for you-


    “You have <i>no </i>feelings for your ex–wife, yet a child suddenly popped up. Do you think Anna is stupid? And the things you’ve done to her–emotional maniption, silent treatment–any one of them is enough for her to cut you off for life.”


    Leon’s expression barely changed, but if you looked closely, violent waves were surging deep in his eyes.


    “Ms. Porter, are you making decisions for Anna now?”


    “Yes.”


    Dawn didn’t flinch. “Do you think I’m not qualified?”


    Leon pressed his tongue against his back teeth, anger seething.


    Still, his restraint held. He didn’t explode.


    “I know you’re her closest friend, but you truly don’t have the right to do this.”


    Dawn had done her homework. Leon wasn’t just powerful in business–he was aggressive, forceful, and fond of methods that lived


    outside the rules.


    If this were the old Stonewarden Group, they could have matched him move for move.


    But not now.


    The old veterans were long retired. They could spar with him in the boardroom, maybe. But if things turned ruthless, her family wouldn’t stand <b>a </b>chance.


    Thinking that through, Dawn let out a quiet breath. Her tone softened slightly.


    “Mr. Graves, why can’t you understand? You and Anna don’t belong in the same world. What she needs, you can’t give. What you want, she can’t fulfill. If that’s the case, why not let each other go?”


    Leon didn’t answer. His lowered gaze said everything.


    Let go? <i>Impossible</i>.


    “Do you know what I felt when I saw her that day?” Dawn asked suddenly,


    The day Anna tried to take her own life.


    Leon’s eyes flickered as he finally looked at her.


    Dawn spoke calmly, like she was recounting something ordinary. “She was lying in a white bathtub. Reddish liquid was spilling over the edge. The tub was porcin–pure white–but her hand rested there, and for a moment, I couldn’t tell the color difference.”


    She tugged at the corner of her mouth–not a smile, but something far more bitter<b>. </b>

    Mncholy. Helplessness. Heartache.


    “I never imagined I’d see her lying there, so lifeless. And the person who drove her to that point was you.


    “Mr. Graves, do you want to see that happen again?”


    She couldn’t endure it a second time.


    If Anna’s parents ever found out, it would destroy them too.

    “No…” Leon lowered his head. His bangs shadowed his eyes, his voice rough and broken. “This time was an ident. Anna won’t do something like that again.”
