Chapter 1148

Time—yes, that didn't stop. As the days, weeks, and months passed, Theo and Fiona's baby was born, and so was Maximus and Diana's.

Theo and Fiona had a beautiful little girl who was the spitting image of Fiona. She inherited those big, gorgeous eyes and thick lashes. For the new father, seeing his little one in her mother's arms was a huge relief, because clearly, getting pregnant at their age hadn't been easy.

Especially with the memory of Amanda still fresh-young, healthy, and suddenly gone, leaving behind a grieving father and daughter.

Maximus and Diana had a beautiful baby boy, who looked just like Maximus. He never said it out loud, but he was incredibly grateful that both his wife and child made it through the pregnancy safely.

Amanda's loss hadn't just devastated Lucius-it also served as a painful reminder that pregnancy doesn't always end well. A pregnant woman is always at risk, no matter how young or healthy she is.

Those joyful moments were good-but not quite enough. Not when Lucius was now living with the Moriartys and barely spoke to anyone.

If anyone knew how he was doing, it was thanks to Angela, who always looked out for little Amanda and Lucius. Who would've thought that when Anthony Moriarty made that deal with Alexia, his life would change by agreeing to care for and protect Lucius?

"Lucius, sweetheart... How are you guys doing?" Angela asked, bringing a bottle of formula out to the garden where he was with his daughter.

"We're good, just stepped out to get some sun," Lucius said calmly as he rocked his daughter in his arms.
