But just then, a small figure moved.
Noah broke away from the crowd and hurried over to Darren. To everyone’s shock, he knelt down beside his father with a soft thud.
His voice trembled with childish sobs. “Dad… if we kneel like this… do you think Mom will forgive us?”
Darren glanced down at his son’s soaked pant legs, a wave of guilt threatening to drown him.
He was the one who hurt Charlotte.
He was the one who shattered Noah’s once-whole family.
And now, he was dragging his little boy through this humiliation alongside him…
He wanted so much to reassure Noah, to promise him that Charlotte would forgive them.
But when he pictured the coldness in Charlotte’s eyes, his words caught in his throat. The truth was—he didn’t know.
After a long pause, he managed to answer, voice heavy. “I don’t know, Noah.”
Noah’s shoulders slumped as he stared down at the ground.
Lena, overwhelmed by the sight of father and son kneeling together, finally broke down.
She rushed forward, trying to pull Noah up. “Noah! Get up, please! The ground is cold! Don’t copy your father’s madness!”
But Noah shook off Lena’s hand, stubborn tears streaming down his face. “I want my mom! I want her to come home!”
Around them, the flash of cameras grew relentless as reporters scrambled to capture this unbelievable scene.
Just then, Charlotte emerged from the research center, her gaze steady and unwavering as she maneuvered her wheelchair forward.
Lena raised her voice, making sure the media could hear every word. “Look at her! Her own son is begging her to come home, and she won’t even spare him a glance. Cold-hearted, heartless woman—she doesn’t even care about her own child!”
