Chapter 510:
He pushed open his car door and stepped onto the asphalt. After inquiring about Ari’s room number at the information desk, he ascended to the appropriate floor and positioned himself at the doorway, his gaze penetrating the space within.
His eyes absorbed the scene of Millie and Myron seated beside the hospital bed. She moved a damp cloth across Ari’s small hands with tender care, while Myron cradled a water basin between his palms.
“Once Ari returns home, she’ll likely benefit from professional care assistance during her recovery period. My family has maintained relationships with exceptional caregivers for decades, or alternatively, you could request recommendations from the Hussain siblings. Their endorsement should guarantee exceptional quality service as well,” Myron suggested thoughtfully.
Millie didn’t dismiss the offer, continuing her tender ministrations as she responded, “That sounds reasonable. I’ll arrange meetings with them and evaluate how well we might work together.”
Their exchange flowed with natural ease, resembling the comfortable rhythms shared by couples who had grown accustomed to discussing practical matters together. Read complete version only at.net
Brandon absorbed this intimate tableau in complete silence, eventually lowering his gaze and pulling back from the doorway. He chose not to intrude upon their peaceful moment, instead turning away and retracing his steps toward the exit.

During this extended period, Millie established permanent residence beside Ari’s bedside, conducting all her necessary business from the confines of the hospital ward. Ari progressed steadily toward complete recovery, her natural vitality returning with each passing day.

As Myron’s visits increased in both frequency and duration, accompanied by regular appearances from Adriana and Jayceon, a distinctly mischievous sparkle began to dance in Ari’s bright, observant eyes.
One particular afternoon, Ari posed an unexpectedly direct question to Millie. “Are you in a romantic relationship with Myron?”
Millie’s eyes widened in surprise. What could such a young child possibly understand about the complexities of adult romantic relationships?
“I once overheard Alexia and Charles discussing how you wanted Myron to be my father,” Ari explained, her eyes shimmering with the brightness of distant stars.
Millie considered the question with careful deliberation before responding. “So tell me honestly, do you believe you could accept him in that capacity?”
Ari devoted serious thought to the weighty question, then nodded with decisive approval and declared, “He seems perfectly acceptable to me. He has a gentle temperament, he looks good, and he draws. His cat has recently mastered some impressive new tricks, and Jayceon shared a delightful video with me.”
