Beyond the Divorce

I quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"I've been watching Grace today, and she doesn't seem quite right," my mom whispered to me. "I was thinking of waiting for you to discuss it together. Maybe we should take her to the hospital." Alarmed, I asked, "What do you mean, not quite right?"

"It seems like her pain has gotten worse. She keeps asking when you'll be back, and she won't let me call you. She barely ate anything for dinner too," my mom told me. "Atlas isn't back yet either." "Alright, I'll come back right now." I felt a sense of urgency. "Atlas is with me."

Atlas, who had been watching me all this time, saw my distressed expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

After I hung up, I looked apologetically at him and shrugged. "It seems like we won't be going to Pleca Park. My mom says Grace isn't feeling well."

"There's no need to say anything like that to me. After all, she's taken care of you before. I don't mind that you care for her." "Atlas..." I was deeply moved and leaned
