Chapter 114 Why Did You Sell It Without Telling Me?
The phone, which used to be on silent and vibrate, now rang loud and clear.
Aella could hear every word of Tyrone’s conversation with Zera–crystal clear.

In that calm, gentle tone of his, Tyrone told Zera he’d ordered a model battleship for Orson and would drop it off later.
He even reminded her tenderly to take care of the boy and not overwork herself.
Aella gripped the blanket so tightly that her hands trembled.
Her face was pale as paper, and her lips pressed together, silent.
When Tyrone hung up and turned around, he immediately noticed her.
He walked over, sat on the bed, and reached for her hand, but her arm was shaking badly.
Tyrone’s eyes lingered on her for a few seconds, complicated emotions flickering in his gaze.
Finally, he said, “Aella, Orson is my son. That’s a fact no one can change.”
Aella’s eyes were red–rimmed as she looked
She forced her lips to move, her voice trembling. “I never stopped you two from being together. But you don’t need to shove it in my face like this.”
They locked eyes, tension thick in the air.
Tyrone paused, then said, “Zera and I were just talking. You don’t have to be so sensitive.”
He added, “I’m Orson’s father. Zera and I are co–parenting him. We’ll see each other, eat together, and do what’s necessary. If you can’t handle this, how are we supposed to get along?”
Aella lowered her head, feeling cornered and helpless.
Seeing her pain, Tyrone leaned in and pulled her into his arms.
He patted her back gently. “Just focus on what you need to do. Don’t overthink it. With that tiny brain of yours, you’ll only drive yourself crazy.”
After he left, Aella curled up under the blanket.
He’d called Zera right in front of her, completely unbothered, talking casually about their son.

He even reminded her that he and the woman he loved would raise the child together, doing all the things couples do, and taking on the responsibilities of a father.
Every word cut into her chest–a deliberate cruelty, meant to push her boundaries and make her accept it and get used to it.
Aella stayed in a daze until noon, when a call from Clyde finally snapped her out ot it.
She forced herself out of bed and got ready for the hospital.
On the way, she ran into Daniel.
They sat in a café near the hospital.
Seeing her pale and worn out, he looked worried. “The winter holiday is just a few days away. I’ll push your start date back until after the holidays. Take this time to rest and be with your family.”
His concern warmed Aella’s heart.
Miriam was still in the hospital, and a short break didn’t seem so bad.
After parting with Daniel, Aella went to the hospital.
Her parents were talking about being discharged soon.
She learned Josh had been released and secretly visited the night:before, but hadn’t had the courage to face her.
Tyrone had used his connections to find a bone marrow donor for Skye at a private hospital, scheduling surgery after the winter holiday, covering every cost.
Aella felt a deep ache–not anger, just sorrow.
Warren had two brothers. Josh’s father had died years ago from lung cancer.
Josh was disabled, barely 40, with a 9–year–old daughter suffering from leukemia.
That little girl called her “Aunt Aella.” How could she turn her back on her?
If she were Josh, she couldn’t stand by and let a child die for the sake of principle either.
By the time she left the hospital, it was already dusk.
She immediately looked up the antique collector who’d bought her jewelry, determined to buy it back.
