Caught within his unwavering stare, Sadie’s countenance stiffened, and she pressed on, “Furthermore,
the promotional activities that ensue will involve a multitude of individuals. I’m afraid.”
Holden interjected, his tone unwavering, “I’ve already halted your involvement in that movie, along with
other schedules for the foreseeable future. This affords you ample time to dedicate yourself to your
child’s well-being. Once she recovers, you may resume your career.”
Stunned, Sadie fought the urge to protest, her eyes fixed on Holden’s unwavering stare. She managed
only a forced smile and a nod, the weight of her resentment towards Adele growing stronger within her.
Holden’s mind ventured elsewhere, prompting him to ask, “Aside from the two of you, has Adele had
any recent interactions with anyone else?”
Sadie had just managed to soothe her frayed nerves when a fresh wave of panic surged within her.
The annoying face of Ariana floated into her thoughts.
The mere thought of Ariana sharing even a fleeting moment with Adele ignited a wildfire of anxiety
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwithin her. A deluge of conjectures filled her thoughts.
Could it be that Holden had unearthed and remembered a revelation from his past?
Or had that wily woman purposefully Left a trace on the child to get Holden’s attention?
As these myriad possibilities swirled within her mind, Sadie consumed herself with profound hatred. But
she forced herself to exude an air of composure. She first thought before slowly shaking her head and
saying, “Nothing out of the ordinary occurred. Adele and I have been inseparable, and her interactions
with others have been scarce.”
In a tone of apprehension, she asked, “What prompts this sudden question? Has something
transpired?”

Holden responded calmly, “The physician has noted a recent improvement in Adele’s condition, and
she has exhibited perceptible responses to the external world. Hence, I wonder if she might have had a
brush with an unfamiliar experience or encountered someone of significance.”
Internally, alarm bells clanged insistently for Sadie. She simmered with resentment toward that young
girl and silently cursed her. She had diligently watched over Adele daily, yet the child hadn’t shown the
slightest improvement. Then, after a mere fleeting interaction with Ariana, there was a discernible shift?
Verily, this child displayed a most ungracious disposition.
In the recesses of her heart, Sadie stewed in anger, inadvertently crumpling the fabric in her grip.
However, she outwardly maintained a veneer of serenity and feigned elation as she remarked, “This
news is heartening. It’s plausible that the preceding treatments are beginning to yield fruit, and the time
I’ve dedicated to her recently might be fostering her recovery.”
Holden nodded in approval. “Indeed, suspending your professional commitments appears to have been
a prudent choice. You needn’t exert yourself unduly. Please accept this card, and use it to acquire
whatever is needed. Adele’s condition could transform; thus, focus your efforts on her well-being.”
He handed her a card as he spoke. He then stood, preparing to depart. Clutching the card, Sadie’s
fingertips drained of color from her fervent grip. She trailed her gaze after Holden, unable to contain
herself from calling out, “Holden, are you leaving now? Can you not spare a fraction more of your time

Emotion Laced her voice, and before Holden could respond, she pressed on, “Why do you display such
remarkable patience for the child but can’t give me a fleeting surplus of your attention? Have you been
divested of your memory, along with the innate inclination to cherish your partner?”
Holden stopped, though he didn’t turn. He lowered his gaze slightly, releasing a sigh.
Undeterred, Sadie persisted, “Once, we reveled in love so sweet, our days and nights intermingling
endlessly.. I, too, Lament Adele’s plight, but I assure you, my actions were unwitting. The culpability lies
with the nanny.”
Holden turned to face her, his face calm. “Don’t be so speculative. Go and rest now.”
Her words felt like they Landed on cotton, and Sadie’s eyes welled with tears, her voice choked with
the ache of injustice. She articulated amidst her tears, “You are resolved to wed me, yet a year has
elapsed, and you’ve never touched me! What is the rationale?”
“Indeed, you are Adele’s mother; hence, it stands to reason I shall take you as my bride. Don’t think
beyond there,” Holden replied, his demeanor seemingly impervious to her tears.
