Averi observed their tears, unsure of what to do. He slipped out of Sadie’s arms, approached the bedside, and gently dabbed at Laura’s cheeks with his small hands.

“Please don’t cry, Great-Grandma and Mommy,” he said softly, his young voice soothing.

Through her tears, Laura smiled at the sweet child in front of her. “Is this lovely child?” she asked affectionately.

Sadie’s heart sank. Explaining Averi’s identity to Laura seemed daunting. After a brief pause, she chose to lie. “He’s… Alex’s son.”

Taken aback for a moment, Alex quickly caught on. Approaching the bedside, he wrapped an arm around Sadie.

“Yes, he’s my son,” he said firmly. “Due to family objections to our relationship, we had him overseas.”

Laura gazed at Sadie, her eyes filled with empathy. “My dear, you have endured so much,” she said, before shifting her gaze to Alex, her tone tinged with disapproval. “Alex, how could you let Sadie face such difficulties?”

Holding Sadie’s hand tightly, Alex responded earnestly, “Don’t worry. I’ll marry Sadie soon and ensure she is recognized as she deserves.” Emotion tinged his voice, stirring a flutter in Sadie’s heart.
