    Osbert was looking over a medical chart earlier. He only snapped his head up when he heard the voices. Wait, why was everyone here?


    He casually tucked the chart behind him, gave Austin a brief look, then said calmly, “Ms. Porter, I haven’t felt great these past two days either. I just saw a doctor.”


    <b>“</b>Oh<b>, </b>I see.” Dawn showed no suspicion and asked, “So how are you feeling now?”


    “I’m fine now. Thanks for your concern, Ms. Porter.”


    Dawn nodded. “If you’re notpletely better, rest a bit longer. Uncle Austin is discharged already. We’ll take care of thepany matters<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Osbert’s lips twitched slightly, but under Austin’s knowing stare, he stayed quiet.


    He forced a smile. “Alright then. Ms. Porter, I’ll get going first. I still need to collect my medicine.”


    “Okay.”


    They parted ways. Austin stayed silent from start to finish.


    Donald swept Osbert with a sharp nce, as if something had clicked into ce.


    Now that Austin left the hospital<b>, </b>Donald no longer needed to guard him. After driving home and having dinner, Dawn pulled Donald aside into the garden.


    “Thanks for helping out these days. If you’ve got personal matters, go handle them. I’ll arrange for other guards here.”


    “Cutting ties already?<i>” </i>


    Dawn was speechless.


    Dawn couldn’t helpughing. “What are you talking about?”


    She and Donald started off on the wrong foot but got alongter. Even though they were employer and employee now, she still treated him like an older brother.


    Donald raised an eyebrow. His cold features looked sculpted, every line crisp.


    “I’m handling some legitimate businesstely, but it’s not too busy. If you need anything, you can still reach out anytime.”


    “Yeah. Big Don, you’re amazing.”


    Dawn grinned and moved to see him out.


    Donald’s dark eyes flicked toward the house. From that angle, he could see the man inside ying with the child.


    <b>A </b>tall figure. With that broad frame and height, the thinness looked even more striking now.


    “But I should still warn you.”

    He pulled his gaze back and walked out with Dawn.


    Dawn caught the weight in his voice. “About what?”


    Donald didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked, “How is your rtionship with your uncle? Do you care about him?”

    “What gossip did you hear now?” Dawn assumed he picked up rumors. She sighed. “I used to be careless. Now I have a child. Who do you think matters to me?”


    “…Oof!”


    Something tapped lightly against her head.


    She red at him. “Why did you hit me?”


    “Why do you think? I’m asking something serious.”


    <i>“</i>Alright.”


    Donald snorted, his face still stern. “When your thoughts are dirty, everything sounds wrong. He’s your uncle. What’s strange about asking if you care about him?”


    “You said it yourself, he’s my uncle. Of course he matters.” Dawn thought he was digging into her past and replied calmly. “Even if he didn’t legally adopt me, he practically raised me. To me, he’s no different from a parent who gave me life.”


    Thinking about it carefully, what Austin did for her was more than enough.


    “Then <i>you </i>should keep a closer eye on him.”


    It was only Donald’s intuition, so he didn’t say too much. He just warned, “I feel like your uncle’s health isn’t very good.”


    “No way.”


    Dawn shot back without hesitation. “He exercises all the time.”


    “Don’t you think he’s lost a lot of weight?”


    What<i>? </i>


    Dawn froze, suddenly speechless.


    “Tsk.” Donald scoffed when he saw her reaction, then said grimly, “I’ve met Mr. Osborne before too. Back then, sure, just like you said. But now he’s so thin it looks like a gust of wind could take him down. How is that healthy?”


    Seeing her fall quiet, Donald didn’t push further.


    “Alright. I’ll head off.”


    “I’m only guessing. I might be wrong.”


    “But if <i>you </i>truly care about him, you should check on him yourself. Don’t wait until…”


    He left the sentence unfinished.

    People are strange.

    Donald had been gone for a while, yet Dawn still stood at the gate, unmoving.


    The air turned colder.


    It was chilly.


    The windshed the roadside bushes, making them sway violently, like they were drifting aimlessly.


    She took a deep breath and turned back inside.


    He said it was just a guess. Austin’s health was fine. He hardly even fell sick twice a year. As for the weight loss, maybe it was age. Maybe irregr meals and sleep. There were many exnations.


    Dawn came up with countless reasons, but the more she thought, the more the ignored details surfaced.


    And two days ago, Sandra said…


    She caught him vomiting, more than once.


    She stopped abruptly, eyes fixed straight ahead.
