Shaun still did not say a word. However, his eyes gave an almost imperceptible flick toward Audrey after she retracted her hand. There was tenderness in his gaze, just like how he used to look at her.

Soon, the familiar sound of an ambulance’s siren cut through the air. It was coming from downstairs. The paramedics rushed up and wheeled Shaun away in a wheelchair.

As soon as they were outside, they bumped into Yuna and James.

Yuna lunged toward Shaun when she spotted him and fell into a half-kneeling position in front of the wheelchair. With tears rolling down her face, she wailed, “My dearest son, what happened? It’s all my fault! I didn’t take good care of you!”

Sobbing, she forcefully pulled Shaun into her embrace without giving him a chance to say anything.
