Chapter 0572

Laura walked alongside her father, her eyes and nose red. Her greenish–gray eyes were clouded with emotion, a haze of tears she was struggling to hold back. Serenity had told her to face the hard things quickly, like ripping off a Band–Aid. The day had been anything but easy, and Laura knew she had to confront the future, whatever it might hold. Her sister had promised she wouldn’t be alone, and that thought gave her some comfort.

She felt a slight pain in her hip and abdomen but chose to keep it to herself. Walking slowly, her face tilted downward, hiding the faint mark on her lip that her father hadn’t noticed.

Maximus placed a large, comforting hand on Laura’s back, gently guiding her into the study, Serenity, who had. refused to leave, was worried about how the man might react to what Laura was about to tell him. Watching them walk toward the study filled her chest with a sense of unease she couldn’t explain.

“Sweetheart, tell me. What’s going on? What did you want to talk about?”

“Dad…” Laura’s voice cracked as tears welled up in her eyes, making it hard for her to speak.

Maximus, alarmed, stepped in front of her and pulled her into a hug. “What’s wrong, my love? Are you in pain? Should we go to the hospital? Are you feeling sick? Is something wrong with the baby?

“Dad, I don’t deserve your kindness… I’ve been so foolish, so stupid…” Laura sobbed, burying her face in her father’s chest.

“Laura, what’s going on? You’re scaring me. Please, calm down. It hurts me to see you like this. Just yesterday, despite everything, you seemed at peace. What happened?

“Dad… my… my boyfriend…” she managed to stammer between sobs.

Laura was still just a frightened girl. Until yesterday, she’d believed her world would be different. But this morning, everything had fallen apart. Even Maximus had been forced to go to her school.
