As I focused all my attention on the two little Gilbert Hartnell children, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. It had been five days since I was discharged from the hospital, but Dominic Hartnell's mother was still missing. I would occasionally inquire about her, but Dominic Hartnell would always deflect the conversation, intentionally or unintentionally. Not only that, even my parents were acting strangely. They would often whisper to each other, but as soon as I approached, they would immediately stop or change the subject. Suddenly, a sense of unease washed over me, as if something bad had happened. After dinner, when we finished eating risotto, I couldn't help but pull Dominic Hartnell aside and ask him again.But he continued to evade the question and change the subject. His evasiveness made me angry. But more than anger, I was worried. The commotion in our room caught the attention of my parents, who came over. Both of them listened carefully and fell silent simultaneously. Seeing them like this, I was truly at a loss. I couldn't understand why they felt the need to hide something from me. My parents didn't say anything, Dominic Hartnell didn't say anything, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. After a while, the sound of a baby crying suddenly came from the nursery. My parents hurriedly ran out of the bedroom, and I followed, feeling annoyed. Just as we were comforting the two children in the nursery, Dominic Hartnell walked in. He stood silently at the doorway for a while, then suddenly said, "I'm going out to buy some fruit. I'll be back soon." Before I could react, he had already turned and left. This made me even angrier. What did he mean by avoiding me? "Well... I'll go prepare some food for the children. You two stay with them," my dad said, and then he left the nursery as well. "Ah..." My mom suddenly sighed heavily and said to me with a worried expression, "Lili, don't argue with Xiao Han about this. He's not feeling well either." "It's been such a long time, and he's been carrying it all on his own. You don't know how hard it's been for him. He didn't tell you because he was worried about you just giving birth." "You... give him some time. And once this period is over, everything that needs to be known won't be kept from you."My mom's cryptic words left me confused. At the same time, I had a bad feeling in my heart. I carefully put the child back in the crib, then grabbed my mother's arm. "Mom, is something wrong? My mother-in-law, she..." My mother frowned, shaking her head with a mournful expression. "Wait for Han to come back, and talk to him properly... Mom is also worried about you!" After saying this, my mother turned and left. I sat by the crib, looking at the two smiling babies, and stared blankly for a long time. Something was wrong, something must have happened. Could it be that they already knew about her illness? Or perhaps not only did they know, but maybe... maybe her condition had worsened...But it shouldn't be, her condition had clearly improved when she went to see the doctor before leaving. I felt very uneasy, and Dominic Hartnell still hadn't come back. In the end, I couldn't wait any longer and called him. As soon as the call connected, I called him "husband," but Dominic Hartnell interrupted me. I heard his voice hoarsely say, "Wife, today... tonight, please don't ask me anything anymore. I'll tell you everything tomorrow, okay?" Without reason, my heart clenched in pain. Besides agreeing, I really couldn't ask anything else. Normally, we would have to feed the baby on a schedule at night, and none of us would get much sleep. But now, with this disturbance, I couldn't close my eyes for almost the entire night. Neither I nor Dominic Hartnell mentioned what happened in the evening, and I didn't ask him what exactly happened. After he came back, he remained gloomy the whole time. If I didn't initiate a conversation with him, he would stay silent. Looking at Dominic Hartnell like this, combined with what my mother said, although I didn't want to, I gradually started to prepare for the worst. But my worst-case scenario was only that they knew about Dominic Hartnell's mother's condition, and the worst would be if her condition worsened, with some serious and uncontrollable health issues. These, just these, were already very serious, worrying, and sad for me to think about. But when the next day came, and Dominic Hartnell led me all the way to the cemetery, I realized that the situation was far more heart-wrenching than I had imagined. Looking at the cold and solemn gravestone in front of me, I suddenly felt lost and didn't know what to do.Could it be... fake? How could it be... Could her condition really have suddenly become so severe? But... but... I didn't have time to wipe away the tears that had unknowingly fallen. My voice trembled as I stuttered, "When did it happen to her? Why... why did it happen so suddenly... she..." Dominic Hartnell slowly reached out his arm and pulled me into his embrace. I could hear that his voice was trembling, with a touch of heartbreaking sob. "It was an accident... They encountered a drug-addicted junkie... Robbery." "Calvin Merchant did everything he could to protect them, but... he also got seriously injured and is still in the ICU." Actually, Dominic Hartnell didn't explain it very clearly, but from his vague account, I could understand. Is this... a calamity that came out of nowhere? I felt like my heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, suffocatingly uncomfortable. I never expected it to be like this... Dominic Hartnell and I stayed at the grave for quite some time, until the drizzling rain began to fall, and then Dominic Hartnell took me away in his arms. After returning home, I anxiously asked him some questions and learned that he hurriedly went abroad last time because of this incident. Because of this, amidst my sadness, I felt even more guilty and heartbroken for Dominic Hartnell. I was really careless, for such a long time, I didn't notice anything unusual about him. The sudden passing of Dominic Hartnell's mother made me feel down for a few days, but fortunately, we still had two precious babies, which eased my emotions to some extent. Afterwards, Dominic Hartnell and I went to see Calvin Merchant, who was still in a coma. He still hadn't woken up, but his vital signs were stable. Time slowly passed, and soon a year had gone by. The pain caused by the loss of loved ones gradually eased. No matter what, life must go on. There was, of course, some good news as well - Calvin Merchant had regained consciousness after three months. Although he hadn't fully recovered yet, his condition was improving. And then there were Benjamin Chance and Shannon - they were like a couple constantly bickering. Whenever they were together, Shannon never wore a pleasant expression, but there was always a hint of sweetness. As for Dominic Hartnell and me, we were happier than ever. Dominic Hartnell gave me a wedding that I will never forget - it was grand and blissful. During the ceremony, after we exchanged rings, Dominic Hartnell pulled me into his embrace.
