After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Sice strand between them.

Alex’s face crumpled as the weight of Abby’s words hit him.

He had said those things. He had ignored his mother’s care, pushed her away, and taken her for granted. And now, seeing someone else cherish what he had dismissed, he felt something break inside him.

His lips trembled as he turned to Nora, his voice small and lost. “Mom… I didn’t mean it…“.

Nora closed her eyes briefly, inhaling deeply. She had always hoped Alex would realize, would see her… not as someone who simply existed to care for him, but as a person with feelings, someone who had given and given until she had nothing left.

But right now, she was too tired.

She let out a slow breath before looking at him with exhaustion in her gaze. “I need time, Alez.”

Alex’s eyes widened in fear. “No! Please, I’ll be good, I promise! I’ll listen to you from now on… just don’t push me away!”

Nora shook her head. “This isn’t about punishing you. It’s about me needing space. You don’t get to suddenly change your mind when you realize I won’t always be waiting for you.”

Tears spilled down Alex’s cheeks as he clenched his fists, his small body shaking.

Cole, sensing that things wouldn’t get any better tonight, placed a hand on Abby’s shoulder. “Come on, let’s go.”

Abby hesitated, glancing at Nora. “Will you be okay?”

Nora mustered a small smile. “I’ll be fine, sweetheart.”

Abby nodded reluctantly before allowing Cole to lead her out. As they stepped into the hallway, they ran

into Arnold.

The two men locked eyes, tension crackling between them. Neither spoke, but a silent challenge passed between them before they gave each other curt nods and moved on.
