Dinner followed soon after.
The family gathered around the long table, warm dishes filling the air withforting aromas.
Evelyn sat beside Axel, with Oliver on her other side, along with Ste and Alicia.
For a moment, the dining room felt alive and
warm.
As usual, Ste and Oliver entertained everyone with exaggerated stories.
Laughter floated between clinking cutlery and gentle conversation.
Oliver swung his legs under his chair, humming as he ate. Ste talked animatedly with Alicia about hospital gossip.
And in the middle of it all, Axel continued his

quiet mission with unwavering dedication.
He ced another piece of grilled meat onto Evelyn’s te.
Then another spoonful of vegetables.
Then a small piece of grilled fish.

Evelyn stared at the growing mountain of food in front of her with widening eyes.
Finally, she leaned closer to him, lowering her voice so only he could hear. “I’m full, Axel. I can’t eat anymore.” She protests.
Axel froze mid–air, spoon hovering with another piece of meat. He looked at her, then at her te, then back at her again.
A slow smile curved his lips before he reluctantly
withdrew his hand.
“I’m just making sure my wife won’t starve in the middle of the night,” he murmured,pletely

serious.
Evelyn let out a softugh. “My dear husband, if 1 eat any more, I won’t be able to walk. I will roll…”
He leaned closer, voice dropping into a teasing whisper. “Then I’ll carry you. No need to worry about it.”
She shook her head, amused. “I’m trying to recover, not be a dumpling.”

“I like dumplings,” he replied smoothly. “Especially the lovely–looking ones. Usually, it means it tastes
great.”
Evelyn pressed her lips together, fighting a smile, but her cheeks betrayed her with warmth.
Unfortunately for her dignity, their conversation had not gone unnoticed.
Oliver suddenly lifted his spoon and pointed it at her like a tiny general. “Mommy must eat. Daddy says Mommy must eat! I will eat a lot too!”

He scooped a huge spoonful into his mouth to prove his point, cheeks puffed like a squirrel storing food.
Ste leaned forward, eyes bright with a smile, “As a resident doctor,” she announced solemnly, “I must inform you, Sister Eve, proper nutrition elerates healing. If you refuse, I will have to prescribe… forced feeding.”
Alicia covered herugh with her napkin.
Axel raised one eyebrow in approval.
Evelynughed lightly and leaned back in her chair. “I’m surrounded by traitors.”
Oliver reached over and gently ced a piece of baby carrot onto her te. “Mom, please eat for Oliver.”
Ste added another piece of broli. “Sis, eat for medical science.”
Axel slid a piece of grilled meat onto her te

again, this time with victory in his eyes. “Darling
wife, eat for your husband.”
Evelyn stared at the three of them. Then she picked up her spoon with resignation.
“Sure, sure…I will eat…” she sighed. “But if I gain weight, I’m ming all of you.”
Axel leaned closer, his voice low and warm. “If you gain weight, I’ll still love you. If you be round, I’ll love you. If you be impossible to carry, I’ll hire someone to carry you. Either way, you’re mine.”
Ste made giggling noises. Oliverughed. Alicia shook her head fondly.
But Evelyn just smiled, heart full, and took
another bite.
Dinner ended smoothly after that, full of light teasing and contented warmth.
Later, Alicia volunteered to read Oliver a bedtime

warm. “Yes, you’re where you belong,” he said.
Because of her injuries, he took over without hesitation. He helped her remove her jewelry, careful with her broken arms. He untied her hair, fingers gentle as he gathered it into a loose tie so it wouldn’t tangle.
“Beautiful,” he murmured while tying the ribbon.
“I just ate enough food to feed a vige,” she replied dryly.
“Beautiful vige queen,” Axel said, smiling.
He guided her to the bathroom. Held her toothbrush for her. Steadied her while she
washed her face. Even dabbed the towel against her cheeks with patient care.
“You’re spoiling me…”
“I’m training,” he replied. “In case you break every bone again.”

She flicked water at him with the back of her
hand. “Don’t even joke about that.”
He chuckled and helped her change into her
pajamas, hands warm against her skin, careful not to hurt her knee or arms.
When she was finally settled, he led her to the
bed.
Evelyn sighed the moment her gaze fell to the mattress. “I missed this bed.”
Axel leaned over her, brushing a kiss to her forehead. “I missed seeing you here.”
She looked up and smiled at him, reaching out, tugging lightly on his shirt. “Sit with me for a
moment.”
“You are not sleepy yet?”
“No. I feel my stomach bloating. Let’s sit and chat.” She calmly said, even though her heart was starting to race as she thought about the

information she had heard from Oscar.
Axel sat beside her on the sofa, his curiosity growing. Her expression had softened, yet remained intense enough to unsettle him.
“What is it?” he asked quietly.
Evelyn took a breath. “Axel… thank you. For everything. For staying. For feeding me like I’m a helpless duck. For washing my face. For carrying <ol><li>me. For…” </li></ol>
She trailed off, trying to calm herself once more.
Axel smiled softly, nearlyughing at her expression and her words.
“You don’t have to thank me.” He said while
pinching her nose lightly. “You’re my wife… Of course, I will do anything for you.”
