Early the next morning, in the soft light of dawn, Alina finally decided to leave for work. Her aunt was resting peacefully now—her health restored and her heartbeat steadier. What made Alina even happier was hearing her aunt say she had decided to file for divorce. It wasn't easy, but she was finally doing it for her own peace of mind. Knowing that Ethan didn't mind the decision brought her even more relief.
Ethan, though still young, stood firmly by his mother's side, and that made Alina's heart swell with pride.
As she stepped outside the hospital, the cool morning air filled her lungs, carrying a faint chill that felt refreshing after stressful days. She didn't know how Dante had managed all the babies in her absence, but just thinking of their little faces waiting for her made her smile. Her heart fluttered with excitement.
Oh my goodness… how much I missed them, she thought with a fond sigh, hurrying toward her car.
