After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

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."

Then, as if to distract her, he grabbed the water cup from the table and held it up. "You've been working

so hard all morning, Mom. Here, have some water."

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.

A strange glint passed through his eyes.

He had done exactly as Aunt Linda had taught him. Now, all he had to do was wait.

Seeing Nora drink the water, Alex let out a small sigh of relief. His tiny hands clenched into fists at his sides as he waited, his heart thudding in his chest.

It didn't take long.

A few minutes later, just as the soup reached its final stage of cooking, Nora pushed herself up from the couch, stretching her arms. She intended to head to the kitchen to turn off the stove, but a strange drowsiness swept over her like a crashing wave.

Her vision blurred. The world around her wavered.

Frowning, she reached for the back of the chair to steady herself, but the strength

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

Then, everything went black.

Her body crumpled, hitting the floor with a dull thud.
