“Blake.”
At the sound of this long-missed voice, a torrent of tears broke from Blake. She rushed forward, her
arms enveloping the woman before her in a desperate embrace. “Mom!” she cried.
Hannah Sutton, her own eyes shimmering with unshed tears, held her daughter close. Years had
passed since they last saw each other. Why the tears, Blake? I’m here now, aren’t I? Let me look at
you,” she whispered, a tremble in her voice.
Blake, her face a canvas of distress, looked up.
“You’ve grown even more beautiful,” Hannah observed softly, her fingers tenderly brushing Blake’s hair.
Yael Dion, his presence a mix of authority and warmth, joined them. Calling only for your mother,
Blake? Have you forgotten your dad?”

messages.”
Yael, a leading academician in a research institute, was vital to many
experiments. Even so, he had not forgotten about his daughter. He pulled out a bracelet made from
valuable aerospace materials from
his pocket and said, “I was in a rush and forgot to package it, but here
you go.”
Blake, her reluctance palpable, accepted the gift. “This isn’t enough to
earn my forgiveness,” she teased, a smile breaking through her tears.

“Next time, I want ten,” Blake added.
Yael laughed heartily, “As many as you want. This thing is priceless, not available to just anyone.”
Blake wiped away her tears, turning to Liam. “My parents are here, and you said nothing?”
Hannah, wiping the corner of her eye, said, “Liam wanted to surprise you. You haven’t been home for
so many days. Don’t bother Liam too much. He’s very busy and can’t afford to indulge your whims.”
Blake pondered silently, ‘Mom doesn’t know about my hospital stay. Thankfully, I’ve healed a lot since
then.’
Hannah’s voice brought her back. “I’ve made your favorite dish. Let me get it for you.”
Liam, intending to leave, was persuaded to stay for the meal. The tw families sat together for dinner,
with Mya sitting across from Blake, offering her a chicken drumstick, “Blake, don’t cry. Here, this is for
you.

“And this buffalo wing is for you,” Mya said, handing one to Liam.
Liam smiled and thanked Mya.

to start with. Blake and Mya, both food enthusiasts, had different physiques. Blake could eat a lot

appetites, the meal prepared was plentiful.

Hannah served Liam thoughtfully, “I heard you’re working at Jardin Corporation? How’s work?”
Liam responded respectfully, “Yes, it’s going well. Blake has been a
great help as my assistant at the company.”
Hannah proudly added, “Blake has always been a bit of a
troublemaker, but academically, she’s never disappointed me.”
Mya, enjoying her meal, added, “Yeah, Blake’s the best.”
After dinner, Liam received a phone call and stepped away. Hannah
and Blake decided to have a conversation in Blake’s room.
