A night filled with sleepless worry had pushed Christing to the edge of her endurance. After years of being married to Sean, she had grown used to the luxuries of a socialite's life; she had never known the agony of being confined in a prison cell. Her body ached all over, cach muscle protesting against her exhaustion.

Timothy, wearing a serious expression, adjusted his tic and looked around before asking. "Where's Gary?"

Sean blinked, quickly counting the family members gathered, and his expression darkened. "How could Gary be so irresponsible? Suzie's in emergency care, and he's out partying? "Once he gets back. I'll make him pay for this

Sean seized this opportunity to unleash his frustration

At that moment, the butler standing next to Cameron spoke up hesitantly. "Mr. and Mrs. Shiled... Mr. Gary's school called this afternoon."

Christina rubbed her temples in irritation. "This is just wonderfull Is Gary in trouble again?

"I see him loitering with those lazy friends all day; he doesn't act like a student from a top university!

"Tell him to get to the hospital!

"Just because he's hiding doesn't mean he can escape consequences."

In Christina's eyes, Gary was the most troublesome of her five sons.

Though she held little hope for his future, he couldn't continue living this way.

Sean chimed in. "Call Gary right now!"

The butler broke into a cold sweat, struggling to explain. This time, it's not about Mr. Gary getting into trouble.

"According to his classmates, Mr. Gary was rushed to the ER due to an allergic reaction. They reached out to the Shields to confirm.

"I checked with the hospital; Mr. Gary suffered a severe allergic reaction but was saved just in time.

"He's still in the ICU.

"I wasn't hiding this from you. I tried to reach all of you, but no one answered. Mr. Cameron is home but has locked himself in his room, and I couldn't inform him. "Then Ms. Shield got into her own crisis, and seeing everyone so anxious... I didn't want to add to the

stress.

After all, Suzanna was still in danger.

Now Gary was in the ICU.

One piece of bad news after another struck Sean and Christina like thunderclaps in their minds. Anyone would've cracked under such pressure,

Just moments ago, Sean had thought Gary was misbehaving, and now regret flooded his face. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he clenched his fists, feeling restless. I'm such an idiot! Gary is my son: hote could I have blamed him based on assumptions?

Christina instinctively bit her lip, guilt washing over her as she looked down in shame.

Even though Gary was absent and unaware, she had misjudged him through a narrow lens.

As a mother, she had failed to be attentive enough.

Pressing her hands against her forehead, tears of regret streamed down her cheeks as she closed her eyes, overwhelmed by guilt.

Timothy, ever the responsible one, stepped forward at this moment.

Frowning, he turned to the butler. "Did you replace out which ICU room Gary is in?"

The butler replied, "1302.

"It's just one floor up."

Timothy nodded, noticing his mother's distressed

ate and stepped closer to offer comfort. 'Mom, if

you're really worried about Gary, let's go upstairs and check on him together."

Christina looked up again, her eyes darting to the emergency signal still glowing outside the ER.

Her expression was torn; after a moment of hesitation, she spoke softly, "Once Suzie is out of danger.... "I'll go see Gary right away..."

Timothy studied his mother, suddenly feeling a sense of distance between them.

It was as if a void had opened up in his chest, leaving him feeling lost and unsupported.

In his memory, he faintly recalled a small, fragile figure

Melody had fallen, her knee scraped and bloodied, yet their mother had given her not a single glance as

she rushed to tend to Suzanna's needs.

She had told Melody. "Mel, once Suzie feels better, I'll come check on you

"You have to hang in there."

Then, she hadn't returned all afternoon to see her.

Leaving Melody to struggle to her feet, her arms trembling with pain as she forced herself back to the small courtyard to tend to her wounds.
