After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 112

A flicker of something unreadable passed through Arnold’s eyes. He had expected this answer, yet it still unsettled. him. But he didn’t show it. Instead, he simply nodded and pulled out his phone. He dialed Nora’s number.

No answer.

Arnold exhaled sharply. He knew she would ignore him.

He narrowed his eyes, then unleashed his Alpha ability, forcing a mind–link with her. His voice, steady and firm, echoed in her mind: **Alex has a stomach bug. He wants to see you.**

On the other side, Nora had just finished discussing the final details of a cooperation deal when the message struck her consciousness. Her heart clenched involuntarily.

Alex was sick?

She gripped the edge of the table, a sudden wave of worry washing over her.

No matter what had happened between her and Arnold, Alex was still her son. If he was unwell, she couldn’t just sit back and ignore it.

She could almost feel Arnold’s presence fade the moment she answered, as if he had been waiting just to hear those

words.

When Nora arrived at the villa, the familiar scent of the place hit her instantly.

She had spent years here, yet tonight, it felt different–like stepping into a house that no longer belonged to her.

Arnold was waiting for her when she stepped inside. Their gazes met briefly, but neither of them spoke more than a few polite words. The tension between them was unspoken but heavy.

Pushing it aside, Nora went straight upstairs to Alex’s room.

He was asleep, his small frame curled under the blanket. His chest rose and fell steadily, his lips slightly parted as he breathed. Even in sleep, he looked fragile.

Nora sat on the edge of the bed and gently brushed his hair back.

As if sensing her presence, Alex stirred. His eyelashes fluttered, and then, slowly, his eyes opened.

The moment he saw her, his face lit up.

“Mom!” he gasped, immediately sitting up and throwing his arms around her.

Nora’s heart softened. She held him tightly, stroking his back in slow, soothing motions. Tm here,” she whispered.
