That reminded Nate he had work to do, so he straightened up and got serious. “I’ll take Alyssa to the room for testing. You guys wait here for a bit.”

Alyssa clearly trusted Nate and let him take her little hand without any fuss. She kept staring at Serena with those big, watery eyes, looking like a perfectly crafted little doll.

Serena’s heart was melting. “Okay, go ahead and check her out.”

As Alyssa was led into the side room, she kept turning back to look at Serena. Seeing this, Nate didn’t even need to run tests to know that Serena had definitely made a big impact on the little girl.

“Why don’t you rest for a bit? I ordered some food. You’ve been with her all morning, so you must be tired,” Keith said gently.

Serena didn’t feel tired at all. Ever since she’d heard Alyssa speak, she’d been filled with pure joy.

It was the same feeling she’d had when she first saw Leon take his first steps, except everything had changed now. Leon wasn’t that little kid who used to depend on her anymore. But Serena was lucky. She’d found Alyssa.

Soon enough, Nate finished Alyssa’s basic examination and brought her back out of the room.

“How did it go?” Keith asked, getting up from his chair.

But Nate just shook his head. “I tried to guide her a bit, but Alyssa still doesn’t want to talk in front of me. She probably only wants to speak with Ms. Gray.”

Serena hadn’t expected this result, and she couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed. She thought she could actually get Alyssa to talk.

Keith noticed the change in Serena’s mood and tried to comfort her. “At least this is good progress. Alyssa’s definitely going to keep getting better.”

That made Serena force a small smile. “I guess I was just being too impatient.”

Watching this whole exchange, Nate was amazed. “If I hadn’t known Alyssa for so many years, I’d probably think Ms. Gray was actually her real mom.”

There was something else he didn’t say out loud. ‘I’ve never seen Keith treat anyone else like this, or even notice someone’s emotions this quickly. When did my cold, all–business friend turn into such a caring guy? I’ve never seen him act like this before,‘ Nate thought.

“You know what? You two should just get together. Then Ms. Gray would actually be Alyssa’s mom,” Nate said, nodding like he’d just solved everything. “It might even help with Alyssa’s recovery.”

Serena looked stunned, and her face immediately turned red. She waved her hands frantically in embarrassment.

Keith frowned slightly. “Don’t joke around like that,” he said firmly.

Seeing Nate defend her so enthusiastically, Graham shook his head helplessly and threw up his hands in surrender. “Fine, I shouldn’t play matchmaker. Just joking around. Don’t take it seriously.”

The outcome wasn’t exactly what Nate had hoped for, but at least it was heading in a positive direction.
