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.

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.
