Chapter 1132 A Man's Dignity

Back at home, Sadie tiptoed into Mia's room to make sure everything was cool. The nightlight's soft glow showed Mia, who had already taken her meds and was out like a light. Paula was sitting next to her, gently patting her back. Mia was clutching her favorite stuffed animal, all snuggled up in Paula's protective embrace, looking like a little angel. Sadie smiled at the sweet scene and carefully tucked the blanket around both of them. "Thanks, Paula," she whispered, her gratitude shining in her eyes.

Paula looked up and returned the smile softly. "No biggie. I love Mia," she replied in a hushed tone. "You should get some rest. I'll stay with her." Sadie waved goodnight and quietly slipped out of the room.

She wanted to check on Noah, but seeing the light in his room was already off, she didn't want to wake him, so she headed back to her room.

But Noah wasn't sleeping. He was hiding under the covers, using a flashlight to video call Nathan.

He whispered, "That must've been Mom at the door earlier. She probably wanted to check on me but thought I was asleep and left."

"Why didn't you let Mom in? I wanna see her too," Nathan said, yawning. It was 5 AM in Newark, and he had gotten up early just to video call Noah.

"Mom's stressed out right now. Let's not bug her," Noah muttered, feeling a bit guilty.
