Chapter 60

Sarah’s heart softened at the sight of him.

“Alright, sweetheart,” she said gently, kneeling down to give him a warm hug, “I will stay tonight and take care of you.” Her voice was calm, yet every word carried a hint of sadness and resolve,

Later, Sarah returned to her bedroom and felt more than a little surprised when she saw the furnishings of the house.

The room was untouched. All of her jewelry and clothes were exactly as she had left them.

She had expected that Arnold, after she filed for divorce, would have hurriedly removed her belongings,

But nothing had been disturbed. Sarah paused, trying to make sense of it all.

In the past, she had wondered if Arnold was siding with Linda against her and Leo when it came to matters of what he considered “bullying.”

However, tonight there was no hint of such favoritism. Instead, there was an eerie calmness.

She realizes now that maybe he just doesn’t care what happens to her Just don’t make too much of it.

That was his usual attitude towards her, cold and indifferent to everything she did.

Sarah gathered her pajamas and toiletries and made her way to Alex’s room.

When she entered, Alex’s eyes widened in mild surprise. “Mom, are you staying at my place tonight?” he asked, his tone both curious and joyful.

“Yes, I am,” Sarah replied with a gentle smile. “I’m here to take care of you tonight.”

She meant it in two ways: first, to help him recover from his illness, and second, to give herself some distance from Arnold.

The thought of sharing a bed with him had become too painful.
