Keith nodded. “Thank you so much.”

Serena managed a tired smile. “I told you, no need to thank me. I’m heading back now. You look pretty worn out, too. So, why not get some rest? You can take over for me in the morning.”

If she hadn’t said that, Keith probably would have stayed up all night, too anxious to sleep. But after a moment of thought, he realized she had a point He finally stood up. “Thanks for taking over. I’ll come get you in the morning.”

After he left, Serena returned to Alyssa’s room. The little girl was sound asleep in bed, and only then did Serena let out a quiet sigh of relief. She sat down on the carpet to avoid waking her.

The night passed just like that. Alyssa stayed asleep the whole time, which was far better than expected.

As soon as the sun came up, Keith came by and took over from Serena. “You should get some rest. I’ve got things covered here.”

Serena nodded without insisting and headed to the guest room for some sleep.

Aside from her breakdown the night before, Alyssa was in much better shape when she woke up.

Even Nate had to admit that what he had witnessed felt like a medical miracle. Nothing he had done before had helped Alyssa, yet somehow, Serena’s presence always seemed to calm her down and bring real improvement.

He said, “Alright, from what you’ve told me, Alyssa is probably going to be fine. But she is really attached to Ms. Gray. I think it’d be best if they stayed together for a while longer.”

Standing out on the balcony, Keith caught his words and couldn’t help but knit his brows. “Don’t you think that’s a bit much to ask? Sure, Serena does care about Alyssa, but looking after her all the time—”

Nate cut him off, “That’s why I said you two should just get married already. The two of you make a perfect pair, and let’s face it, you’re not getting any younger, and you’ve got a kid.

“Who else but Ms. Gray would sign up for that?”

Keith, now branded as some kind of late–blooming bachelor, was left completely speechless.

He muttered, “Forget it. Now is not the time to get hung up on this. I’ll let Serena know what you suggested when I get the chance, but whether she agrees or not is up to her.”

To Keith, everything Serena had done so far was already going above and beyond. If she didn’t want to agree, that was perfectly fair.

He had no intention of using Alyssa’s situation to guilt Serena intò anything. With everything Serena had already done, and on top of her own job, he could tell she was more than exhausted.

“Yeah, sure,” Nate replied half–heartedly before saying he had work to get back to and hanging up.

Keith turned around, about to look for Serena, when he spotted her standing not far away. It looked like she had overheard their conversation.

He scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Uh, Nate is just like that sometimes. He doesn’t always think before he speaks.”
