Chapter 193

Nora immediately noticed his unusual behavior. She had been around him long enough to know when something was off.

"Alex?" she called, her tone soft yet observant. "What's wrong?"

Alex's fingers twitched, and for a split second, panic flashed in his eyes. He quickly shook his head, forcing

an innocent smile. "It's nothing, Mom."

Nora smiled at the thoughtful gesture. She had been reciting her script over and over, her throat had gone dry without her realizing it. She reached for the cup without hesitation and took a long sip.

Alex watched her.

in her limbs melted away. The floor tilted, darkness creeping into the corners of her sight.
