Chapter: 4722
His gaze was locked on Olivia...

Meanwhile, Edwin turned to his mother and Laura, announcing, “I'll take you two home now!"

Cecilia, however, resisted the idea of leaving. Overwhelmed by guilt, she chose to remain in the hospital room.

After a moment of reflection, Edwin stated firmly, “Dylan can stay with her tonight."

Cecilia opened her mouth to object, but reconsidered.

Laura, on the other hand, didn't challenge the decision. In her view, Edwin could do no wrong!

In the end, Edwin departed with Cecilia and Laura in tow.

As he drove, Edwin commented casually, "Considering tonight's events, I suspect Olivia's relationship with Dylan might shift. But ultimately, it's her decision. Dylan has proved his devotion to her by risking his own life, which speaks Louder than any sweet nothings. Still, his past actions remain inexcusable."

He believed Olivia was well aware of this.

Cecilia became suddenly emotional upon hearing this. Laura squeezed her hand gently, reassuring, “Don't fret too much about Olivia. She's grown up now! She's quite capable and will surely make the right choices for herself."

Hearing Laura's words, Edwin glanced at her through the rearview mirror.

He chuckled and said, "Yeah, just like what happened with Laura back then."

His light-hearted comment eased the tension in the car.

Cecilia couldn't help but smile.

However, Laura blushed deeply, ducking her head as she retorted, "I never even had a choice! Back then, you seduced me and then you went on a blind date!"

Edwin's tone grew tender.

“Please, can you forgive me, my love?" he asked softly.

Cecilia, still in the car, watched as Laura's cheeks turned a deeper shade of red.

After arriving home, Edwin didn't return to the hospital.

Nor did he go to bed, either. Instead, he spent some time talking with Cecilia before slipping into his room to find Laura already asleep. Concerned about Olivia, Edwin stepped out onto the balcony for a smoke.

As he drew on his cigarette, his gaze landed on Laura, sleeping peacefully.

Seeing her like this, his heart melted instantly.

Meanwhile, he felt incredibly fortunate.

Laura was lightly dozing off. Perhaps stirred by his gaze, she awakened and searched for Edwin. Clad in her nightgown, she hurled herself into his embrace.
