Abel spoke slowly, explaining, “I sent someone to get that dog checked out. As for this blanket, someone sprayed it with a hallucinogenic chemical that makes animals go wild and uncontrollable.”

A cold shiver ran down Tess’s spine at his words.

So that’s what really happened?

First, there was the drugging incident, and now Layla almost got bitten by a dog.

Who exactly is after us?

Tess scanned the quiet area with frightened eyes.

I’ve moved apartments, even relocated to a completely different part of Aetheris, far from where I was before. So how did they still manage to find me?

That feeling of being exposed, with enemies lurking in the shadows, twisted her stomach with unease.

Her fingers clenched tightly, her sharp nails digging into her palms as her heart pounded hard.

“Don’t be scared.”

Suddenly, a warm hand pressed gently against her cold forehead.

Abel’s fingertips trembled slightly as his eyes flicked over her pale face. Inside, it felt like a seed had begun to bloom, bringing waves of pain and worry for her.

What has she been through all these years?

Judging by her look, this isn’t the first time she’s faced something like this. But who would dare hurt a defenseless woman and her child?

Abel’s thoughts turned to the child, and he looked down at little Layla, fast asleep in the stroller.

The kid…

“What about her father?”

Abel’s expression faltered, and before he could stop himself, the question slipped out.

“We’re getting a divorce.”

This time, Tess didn’t hide anything.

Her words immediately snapped Abel out of his scattered thoughts.

“Divorce?”

His voice darkened, eyes sharpening with a cold intensity. “Why? Is he treating you badly?”

By the time he asked the question, his teeth were clenched tight with anger.

Tess noticed his strange reaction and frowned.

Why is he so upset?

Still thankful for his help, she shook her head honestly and gave a small smile. “But that’s all behind me now.” Abel lowered his head, letting his chestnut hair fall over his fierce, troubled eyes, worried he might scare her.

He had searched for her for so long, and when he finally found her, she was already married with a child. What hurt him most was knowing her husband didn’t cherish her.
