Shawn made the turn to go back, the crossing barriers had already come down, and a train was on its

way.

Holden found himself without much choice other than to hold onto Adele and wait for the red light to

change.

Seeing that look of longing in Adele’s eyes as she stared across the tracks, Holden’s impatience

started to bubble up. But he kept a lid on it, not wanting Adele to see his frustration, Instead, he gently

asked, “You know that boy?”

Adele stayed silent, her gaze locked straight ahead.

Even though she didn’t answer, Holden wasn’t let down, Hearing Adele speak earlier had given him

more joy than signing a billion-dollar contract ever could. Maybe this was a turning point in her

recovery, and that boy held the key to coaxing Adele back into speaking.

But when the train finally passed and they were able to turn around, the boy had vanished from in front

of the shop. Holden looked around, but there was no sign of him.

Meanwhile, on a nearby street, Ariana was walking toward her car. One hand was holding shopping

bags, while the other had a firm grip on

Melon’s small hand.

Melon shuffled alongside his mother, his head down, not saying a word.

The events of the previous night had left the five-year-old visibly shaken and downcast.

Seeing her son like this, Ariana’s heart went out to him. She crouched down to meet his gaze. She

gently held his shoulders and reassured him,

“What happened last night wasn’t your fault. You were really brave. It’s on me — I should’ve been there

for you

Melon just shook his head, remaining quiet.

Ariana ran her fingers through his hair in a comforting gesture.

“Tell me, sweetheart, are you still feeling guilty about everything, or is it more sadness

After a long pause, Melon finally spoke up, his voice trembling.

“Mommy, why hasn’t Daddy come back? I miss him so much, Why doesn’t he visit or even call?”

Despite his young age, the traumatic events had left a deep wound in

Melon’s heart. It was completely understandable for him to yearn for his father in this moment of

distress.

Unable to hold back, he burst into tears as he continued, “I want Daddy.
