For the first time, he noticed how fragile she seemed, her typically steadfast gaze now brimming with concern. For a moment, Noah hesitated, his voice tightening as he said, "Why didn't you..."

"What's on your mind?" His voice, cool and detached, reached her. Sadie offered him a brief glance before diverting her eyes, offering no response.
Despite being ignored, Noah didn't react with his usual irritation. Instead, he chose a spot nearby to sit down, clearly intending to stay. Seeing this, Kyla becanxious. She snuggled closer to Noah, her voice tender. "Noah, it's really cold. Can we go?" He nodded briefly, but his gaze landed on the tightly closed doors of the operating room. "I'll get the driver to take you home," he responded without emotion.
Kyla's smile froze, the tension visible in her expression.
Was he planning to stay here with Sadie? A flare of jealousy ignited within her, but it was quickly concealed as she rose with practiced elegance, her posture unsteady as though she might faint.
