“Honestly, I don’t even know how to face Uncle Austin.”
All Dawn could do was force a smile.

Ethan kissed her forehead and said softly, “Just talk to him like you always do. If you push too hard, <b>it’ll </b>just make him feel worse.”
In Austin’s mind, he was still just an ordinary guy–maybe someone who’d caught a minor illness. That illness just happened to cut his life a bit short. That was all.
“Leave everything at Osborne Group to me. Stay home with Dulce. Let Austin spend more time with her.”
Dawn took a deep breath and nodded.
“We should all act normal, right? Who knows? Maybe a miracle will happen.”
Talking like that was just a way tofort herself.
Once the truth was clear, what kind of miracle could really appear?
The problem was that Sandra and Harry still had no idea. They thought Austin just needed time to recover. As for his illness, Dawn honestly didn’t know how to tell them.
The house had been busytely. Other than Ethan, who still went to work, almost everyone stayed home.
The happiest one was Dulce. No matter where she went, there was always someone patient to y with her. When the weather was nice, Austin would bring out the bnce scooter and teach her.
Watching him take a few steps, then lift Dulce as if they were riding away, Dawn teased, “Uncle Austin, don’t spoil her too much. If she thinks that’s how a bnce scooter works, you’ll have to take responsibility.”
“I will.”
Austin’s soft eyes rested on the little girl. “Our Dulce can fly however she wants, right?”
“Ah… fly!”
Dulce got excited and begged him to lift her again.
Dawn’s heart jumped. She rushed over and took the child back. “Alright, alright. Your grandma is calling you. Go see what tasty stuff she has. Bring some back for me, okay?”
Dulce pouted, clearly unhappy. “Mommy…”
Dawn frowned. Sensing her mother wasn’t pleased, <i>Dul </i>

quickly acted like nothing happened and ran toward Sandra while
“Dawn.” Austin wiped his sweat with a tissue and smiled. “I’m not as weak as you think. It’s just holding Dulce. I’m fine.”
“I never said you weren’t. But you’re already out of breath. Shouldn’t you rest?”
Dawn poured him a ss of water and handed it over.

Oddly enough, Austin always felt better after moving around.
He actually felt better than he had in the past few days,

She looked at his side profile and muttered, “Seems like I can leave Dulce’s daily exercise to you, I don’t feel like moving anyway”
Austin lifted an eyebrow. “Sure.”
“Sure about what?”
Dawn saw right through him. “If she sticks with you all day, she’ll probably get zero exercise, right?”
Austin spoiled her so much that he treated her like ss, afraid even the gentlest grip might shatter her.
“It’s not that dramatic.”
Austin nced toward the living room, where Sandra was wiping Dulce’s hands and feeding her.
Dawn looked over as well, but her focus was on Sandra.
After a while, she finally asked, “Uncle Austin, have you decided when to tell Dad and Mom about your illness?”
Austin’s eyes flickered, then he smiled.
It was hard to tell if he was joking or serious. “What do you think would happen if I never said anything?”
What would happen? Probably nothing–except Sandra and Harry wouldn’t get to say a proper goodbye.
Dawn couldn’t help thinking. Did a proper goodbye really matter that much?
f he didn’t say anything, at least the remaining time would stay lighter for them.
She pressed her lips and whispered, “You can decide for yourself.”
Whether he said it or not, the ending wouldn’t change.
For a long moment, there was <i>no </i>sound beside her. Dawn turned her head and realized the man in the chair had lowered his head and fallen asleep without her noticing..
A thinyer of sunlight covered him, like a soft golden glow.
She kept watching until her vision blurred, then cleared again,
Aside from the sudden heavy moods that hit at night, the days felt almost the same. Warm, crowded, and flowing into one another.
t had been a long time since Dawnst contacted Anna.
She asked someone to check and learned Anna was staying at Leon’s vi..
‘Did Leon lock her up again?”
‘It doesn’t look like it.”
Tony took out his phone, pulled up some photos, and handed them to Dawn. “From their daily routine, it seems like they’ve made

Only close couples would shop for groceries together and walk the dog side by side. Anna looked like she had settled into that role.
Dawn took the phone. In the photos, Anna was even holding Leon’s arm.
They did look calm and sweet.
Dawn frowned. “Contact Leon’s assistant. Tell him I want to invite Ms. Winsor to dinner.”
“Understood,” Tony replied and stepped aside to make the call.
