GoodNovelChapter 74 Sarah's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Cole? Sarah froze, her fingers unconsciously tightening around her phone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had been so caught up in the day's events that she had completely forgotten about her car. Cole had helped her with it earlier that morning, but she hadn't expected him to follow up.
On the other end of the line, Cole's voice remained calm and composed as he briefly explained the situation. "Your car has been taken care of and sent for repairs. I can have someone deliver it to you." Sarah hesitated. There was no need for him to go out of his way for her. She didn't want to owe him anything. "That's not necessary," she said firmly. "Just letknow where it is. I'll pick it up myself." There was a brief silence. She wasn't sure if Cole was offended or simply choosing his words carefully. But he didn't argue. "Alright. I'll send you the location." Before she could say anything else, another notification buzzed through her mindlink.
A familiar, soft voice cthrough. "Mom, when are you coming home?" Sarah's heart clenched slightly. It was Alex.
She quickly wrapped up her conversation with Cole. "Got it. Thanks,” she said, then hung up.
Turning her attention back to Alex, she softened her tone. "What is it, sweetheart?" Alex's voice was full of longing. "I want to eat the noodles and fried rice that you make for me. And I like the smell of the laundry you do forbetter than anyone else's.” Sarah smiled faintly but felt a deep exhaustion settle over her. "Mommy sprained her foot and can't walk well right now. I'm resting for a while, so I won't be coming htonight. You should go to bed early, alright?" There was a pause before Alex spoke again. "Huh? You got hurt? Is it serious?" "It's not serious," she reassured him. "I just need a few days to recover." "Okay," Alex mumbled, though he still sounded concerned. After a brief hesitation, he asked, "Then should I csee you with Dad tomorrow?" 14:06 Chapter 74 Sarah's smile faded.
She knew her son well. If he was truly worried, he wouldn't have hesitated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe last tLinda had fallen sick. Arnold had rushed to her side without even finishing his breakfast. Alex had secretly messaged Linda behind Sarah's back, checking on her. And after school, he had gone straight to visit Linda instead of coming home.
Now, he had to think about whether he should visit his own mother? Sarah's heart turned cold.
She sighed lightly. "No need. Mommy can take care of herself. You should just go to school." "Okay then." After a few more words, the call ended.
Sarah leaned back against the couch, rubbing her temples. The exhaustion she had been holding back all day washed over her in full force.
Meanwhile, at the mansion, Arnold had just returned home.
As soon as he stepped inside, Alex rushed up to him. "Dad!" he called eagerly.
Before Arnold could say anything, Alex continued, “Mom hurt her foot and is staying outside to rest!" Arnold made a small sound of acknowledgment, as if the news didn't surprise him. He removed his expensive suit jacket and handed it to the housekeeper, then casually said, "I know." Alex blinked in surprise. “Huh? How did you know? Did Mom tell you?" Arnold took the glass of water offered by a maid, his expression unreadable. "No. I saw it with my own eyes." "You saw it?" Alex's eyes widened. "Dad, were you there when Mom got hurt?" "Mm." Arnold took a sip of water, his tone flat.
