Chapter 212

Dominick listened to his parents' conversation, his gaze unintentionally falling on Serena. Seeing her wrapped in the nanny's coat, still looking cold, a pang of pain tugged at his heart. Should he arrange for a better room for Serena as well? As he thought this, his legs carried him toward her without him realizing.

Paisley's voice was trembling and choked with emotion, filling the area. Dominick frowned again, feeling a tight knot in his chest. She was crying. She must have been scared.

'It's okay, Paisley. I'm here. Nothing will happen to them, Dominick thought.
