The worry on Edward’s face lessened noticeably, and his tone became gentle. “This is a lullaby that Quinita used to sing to Evelyn when she was little. Ever since Evelyn… left, Quinita hums it every night.”

Elysia nodded, “Don’t worry.”

With Elysia’s reassurance, Edward finally grasped the doorknob and slowly pressed it down, opening the door gingerly. Every movement was cautious, as if he feared even the slightest sound might disrupt the scene within.

Elysia stepped inside and saw a woman lying on the bed. Her face was beautiful, betraying no signs of being the mother of multiple children.

Elysia shook her head, her usually cool voice softening slightly. “I’m fine.”

Seeing Elysia’s response, Quinita carefully sat up and took her by the hand, guiding her to sit on the edge of the bed. “You

Elysia’s expression shifted slightly behind her mask as she looked at Quinita beside her, feeling the warmth of her touch.
