Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)
Chapter 502

After taking the reins again, I handed over the entirety of Medsafe Liyah Inc. to Addrion's capable hands. Though it retained its name, it was a completely new company. I gave the boot to every last employee that the Dawson clan had brought on board.

Caleb remained as the General Manager, settling into Medsafe Liyah Inc. as a technical shareholder, aiding Addrion in steering the company.

The day the handover was completed, Addrion, after years away, finally crossed the threshold of his long-missed home.

When that door swung open, I witnessed a scene that could melt a heart of stone.

His wife froze solid at the sight of Addrion, a full five minutes of stunned silence before erupting into heart-wrenching sobs. Their embrace and tears were touching for us.

Especially me, thinking they were finally reunited, but what about me and my little boy? When would he return to my arms?

After sorting everything out in Goldenvale Town, I, along with Carl and Helga, Brenda, Hannah, and more, made our way back to Silverdale City.

Actually, my dad was worried sick about Carl and me, and the kids were about to start school in a week-I had to bring Fidelia back from Goldenvale Town.

But none of us could have foreseen the tumultuous turn of events that would arise because of Fidelia Dawson.

But that's a tale to tell slowly, in due time.

Back in Silverdale City, my parents fussed over Carl's injuries, which had improved significantly. Proudly, he declared to his grandparents, "Grammy, it doesn't hurt! I didn't cry at all. Mommy says I'm brave, a good baby!"

My mom, seeing his scar and hearing his brave words, teared up, "Oh, my poor baby! You've been through so much."

She cradled Carl, patting his back and searching my face for answers about my own son, the one with no news yet. I shook my head, my heart heavy.

She didn't press further, instead, she chatted with Carl, who clung to me, his hand gripping the hem of my shirt.

I regretted letting him sense my desire to leave that day, which traumatized his little heart.

Truth be told, I'm only an ordinary person. Ever since I found out he was Jaylan and Zora's child, I've been tormented with conflict.

That's why my dad urged me to come home-he understood my turmoil.

That night, once Carl was asleep, my dad and I talked until dawn, unraveling many knots in my heart.

Home never felt so good. The next day, I slept in until 2 PM.

My dad had good news: someone had approached VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals. It seemed Jerome's backers were making moves-an excellent sign. Everything was unfolding according to plan. But I sensed something off with Fidelia; she seemed distracted, anxious, and kept sneaking peeks at her phone.

I didn't confront her but watched her closely, having Hannah subtly befriend her.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, I tiptoed into Monique and Fidelia's room.

Both the girls were deep in slumber. Monique sprawled carelessly while Fidelia curled up, one hand under her pillow.

After watching for a moment, and making sure she was truly asleep, I gently pulled her hand from under the pillow, revealing her tightly clutched phone. There were secrets in that phone.

I reached out, giving a tug, and her grip tightened, startling me.

She was clearly on edge these past few days, but why?

I deliberately adjusted her blanket and pillow, prompting her to roll over and mumble something indistinct.

I looked down and, to my delight, the phone had slipped from her grasp.
