Adele nodded timidly, her eyes wide with fear.
Pleased, Sadie headed for the door.
Her demeanor quickly changed upon seeing Devin. Tears sprang to her eyes as she grasped his hand, her voice filled with urgency. “Any news about Holden? He’s alright, isn’t he?”

Devin looked serious as he shook his head. “We haven’t heard anything yet… It doesn’t look good.”
At this, Sadie began to cry, Leaning against the doorframe, her sobs filling the air. “How can this happen? He can’t just die. I can’t believe it. He wouldn’t leave me and Adele like this. It just isn’t possible…”
Devin watched Sadie’s tears, his face showing sympathy, though he felt indifferent inside. He knew Sadie had seen Zayden just a few days ago and wasn’t truly mourning Holden.
Nonetheless, he comforted her diligently until she managed to compose herself.
After drying her tears, Sadie asked, “If there’s no news about Holden, why did you come today?”
Devin replied, “Since Mr. Fredrick isn’t here, it’s my responsibility to look after Adele. I’m here to accompany her to the hospital for a routine check-up.”
Sadie finally stopped crying, but tears still streaked her cheeks as she turned to Devin. “I’ll take Adele to the check-up. Holden’s in trouble, and Adele is so young. She only has me,” she said, her voice breaking as fresh tears began to flow.
Her sobs grew louder, and she leaned against the doorframe, slowly sliding to her knees, overwhelmed by her emotions. Her face turned pale, and she started to tremble, clutching at her chest as her heart condition worsened.
Struggling to stand, Sadie staggered around looking for her heart medication. In her weakness, she knocked over a few items.
Devin tried to help her retrieve the medicine, thinking to himself that despite Sadie’s flair for drama, she really wasn’t taking her health seriously.
“It’s over there,” Sadie gasped, pointing to the medicine box while leaning weakly against the couch.
Devin looked at her frail form and doubted whether she was really fit to give birth to the baby in her belly.

He handed her the medicine and watched as she gradually calmed down after taking the medicine.
Devin said, “Miss Pierre, you need to rest more. Stay home, and I’ll take Adele to her check-up.”
Sadie sighed deeply, clutching her chest, and nodded. She called out, “Adele, come here.”
Adele emerged slowly from the dining room.
Looking at Adele, Sadie asked “Mr. Mason will take you to your check-up. Will you go with him?”
Adele usually was quite close to Devin, so Devin didn’t think much of it and reached out to take her hand to leave.
But Adele avoided his hand, burst into tears, and clung to Sadie, screaming, “No, no, I want mommy!”
Taken aback, Devin crouched down to gently coax her. “Adele, it’s time for your check-up. I’ll take you, and we’ll be back to see mommy soon, okay?”
But Adele shook her head, looked fearfully at Sadie, and sobbed, “I want mommy.”
