By the next day, Sonny’s fever had completely subsided. That morning, Serenity and Zachary took him to kindergarten together.

“Don’t worry, I’ll pick Sonny up this afternoon,” Duncan had assured them earlier.

At the kindergarten entrance, Sonny waved goodbye to Serenity, his small hand lingering in the air as if reluctant to say farewell. Then, with a determined little nod, he turned and walked in on his own.

Watching him go, Serenity smiled softly. “Remember when we had to walk him inside every morning? Now he’s brave enough to go in by himself. He’s grown so much.”

“He really has,” Zachary agreed, taking her hand. “Come on, let’s head to your prenatal check-up.”

Zachary had cleared his morning schedule to accompany Serenity, prioritizing her health over work.

As they turned to leave, they encountered Carrie, who was holding the hand of a small girl. Carrie bent down to speak to the child, but the girl appeared uninterested, avoiding her gaze.

When Carrie noticed Zachary and Serenity, she stopped in her tracks, her lips forming a polite smile. “Mr. York, Mrs. York, it’s nice to see you both dropping Sonny off.” Her gaze lingered on Zachary for a moment before shifting to Serenity.

Serenity, now well into her pregnancy at around 28 or 29 weeks, smiled back. Her best friend Jasmine, who was a month further along at 32 weeks, had been venting about the challenges of pregnancy. Josh had insisted that Jasmine stay home from her bookstore job to rest, but she found the idea unbearable. They had compromised, agreeing that she would take a break from work in a month, much to Josh’s frustration.

Zachary, too, was increasingly anxious about Serenity’s well-being. He couldn’t stand

Watching her toss and turn at night, struggling to find a comfortable position to sleep, broke his heart. The weight of impending fatherhood weighed heavily on Zachary. He made a silent vow to himself: he would cherish Serenity forever. She was carrying their child—a sacrifice made out of love for him. She deserved nothing less than his unwavering devotion.

“Mrs. Labbe,” Serenity greeted with a polite nod, interrupting Zachary’s thoughts. Carrie smiled in return, but Serenity’s mind shifted elsewhere. She had come to a realization about this woman. Standing behind Carrie was Mr. Labbe, and his intentions had finally become clear.

When Grandpa Silver Fox and Ezequiel visited Wiltspoon recently, they brought Alijah, one of Silver Fox’s favorite disciples. Zachary had mentioned this in passing, but Serenity now understood the deeper implications. Carrie’s approach was not about revenge, as she and Camryn had initially thought. Instead, Carrie had been trying to build trust, subtly inserting herself into Serenity’s circle of friends to gain access to Jane, Sonny, and ultimately, Titus.

Titus was the true target. Serenity recalled Titus’s tragic story. His family had been murdered years ago, and only he had survived, thanks to his nanny’s quick thinking. She had fled thousands of miles with him to Meadspring, where Jane eventually found and rescued him. Since then, Titus’s enemies had relentlessly hunted him, eager to locate him.

They had suspected Titus might be at FC Manor, even placing people nearby to monitor the estate. However, when Titus was moved to stay with the miracle doctor, Ben confronted and dealt with those sent by Mr. Labbe. For now, Titus’s location remained secure, but the danger was far from over. It was evident that Mr. Labbe had his suspicions.

While Serenity had learned about Titus’s identity, she had not yet confirmed that he was the son of the former head of the Labbe family. It remained unclear whether Mr. Labbe intended to eliminate Titus as a threat or had other motives altogether, but Serenity understood that they could not allow him to draw closer. The stakes were far too high.

With the backing of several senior figures and the strong protection of the Five Emperors Hall, Serenity felt assured of Titus’s safety. Nevertheless, seeking revenge for Titus’s family was not a task to be rushed; that responsibility would rest on Titus himself when he was older. For now, their main focus was to shield him from harm and prevent his enemies from uncovering his location.

As Serenity and Zachary walked away hand in hand, her determination strengthened. No matter the challenges ahead, she would do everything within her power to protect the boy who had already faced so much adversity.
