Linsey’s face stiffened for a second. «It’s already been four years. I doubt they’ll bother anymore. Even though I’m their daughter by blood, there’s barely any bond between us. We’re like strangers passing on the street.»

She paused, then added with calm certainty, «Besides, Alicia’s pregnant now. The Lawsons are probably pouring all their attention into the baby. I’m the last thing on their minds.»

Dolores gave her a thoughtful look. «That may not be true.»

Linsey was Myla and Cruz’s biological daughter. They hadn’t been able to do anything for her for over twenty years. Now that she was finally back, they might try even harder than they had four years ago.

The Lawsons had always carried guilt when it came to Linsey. Gorman had seen everything that happened between her and the Lawsons back then. He could tell—Linsey no longer held any feelings for them. No anger, no warmth. Just emptiness.

With that in mind, he spoke gently. «Let’s take things as they come.»

Linsey gave a small nod. «I know.»

After lunch, she noticed Gorman looked tired. «You should get some rest. We’ll come back later.»

The hospital room was packed, and Gorman hadn’t had a proper chance to relax.

As Dolores and Dustin stood to leave, Gorman suddenly said, «Linsey, I’d like a moment alone with you.» At that, Dolores and Dustin froze.

They sat back down immediately. Dolores smiled at him, eyes sharp. «Why not tell all of us? If something’s wrong, we can help.» She nudged Dustin’s arm with her elbow.

Your next favorite is on gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s．𝒸o𝗺

Catching on, Dustin added, «Yeah, we’re all friends here. Why just Linsey? We want to hear it too.»

They hadn’t come today just to visit. They were here to keep Gorman from getting too close to Linsey again.

They knew his style—how he played the sympathy card, especially now with his injuries still healing.

They feared he would elicit Linsey’s sympathy. And they weren’t going to let that happen.

Gorman looked at them calmly. He stayed quiet for a few seconds, then gave in.

«Okay,» he said with surprising patience, his eyes locking on Linsey again.

Something about the way he looked at her made her freeze. There was a depth in his eyes she couldn’t place. She simply thought it was sadness.

Dolores and Dustin, seeing the way he looked at Linsey, grew uneasy.

They were about to speak up when Gorman broke the silence.

«I’m leaving Grester tomorrow. My parents and I are flying out,» he said. That silenced them at once. The teasing words they had prepared vanished.

They stared at him in disbelief.

None of them expected that. It felt too sudden.

Even Linsey found herself struggling to process the news.

A flicker of confusion crossed Linsey’s face. “You’re leaving tomorrow?” Her eyes shifted instinctively to Gorman’s injury, a clear trace of disapproval in her look. “But you’re not fully recovered yet.”
