A False Heiress's Guide to Love and Power

Chapter 408

Chapter 409

It wasn’t until deep into the night, after the three children had finally fallen asleep, that Alessia could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The three kids were squeezed together on a single bed. Ivan lay in the middle, sleeping perfectly still, as if he hadn’t moved an inch all night. The other two, in contrast, sprawled out every which way–one had an arm thrown across Ivan’s face, the other had a leg draped over his knees utterly oblivious to any semblance of order.

Alessia gently tucked the covers around them, then, worried that York’s wound might get bumped, carefully scooped him up and carried him to the guest room Brendan had set up for him.

“Alessia…” York mumbled in his sleep, a faint whisper barely audible.

“Shh, it’s alright. Just get some good rest,” she replied softly, her eyes warm. She tucked the blanket around him and lightly patted his chest, staying until his breathing evened out and he drifted back to sleep. Only then did she slip quietly from the room.

In the hallway, Karen approached on tiptoe and handed Alessia a glass of

warm water.

“Are they all asleep?” Karen whispered.

Alessia took a sip, nodding, her throat grateful for the relief.

“Those three are really attached to you. Must be exhausting, huh?” Karen said, taking the empty glass from her.

“It’s fine. It’s getting late–you and Dad should get some rest too,” Alessia replied, glancing at the clock.

Karen nodded, and soon the entire Morton house was swallowed by darkness. Only Alessia’s room glowed with the soft light of a bedside lamp.
