I was determined to avoid the breakroom, where the mere thought of encountering Annette again sent a shiver down my spine. In the stillness of the night, my thoughts would often drift back to that room. I could vividly recall the serene expression on Annette's face as she slept peacefully.

But each time I caught myself wandering down that path, I pulled my mind back to the present, forcing my attention onto my daughter, who lay before me. I chastised myself silently for allowing Annette to intrude upon my thoughts. It was evident that I was missing Amelia-deeply and profoundly. That had to be the reason Annette had crept into my mind, uninvited and unwelcome. Damn it, I let my thoughts drift again.

With a firm shake of my head, I redirected my focus back to Stacy, just as I noticed her face twitch, her eyelids fluttering open like the wings of a butterfly awakening from slumber. In that instant, all other concerns faded away, and my sole focus became the well-being of my daughter. "Stacy?" I called softly, my voice barely above a whisper. At first, her eyes were clouded, shrouded in a haze of sleep. But after a few blinks, clarity returned, and she looked at me, recognition dawning. "Daddy?" A wave of relief washed over me, easing the tightness that had gripped my chest.

I had been so anxious, so terrified that she might not wake up, or even worse, that if she did, something else would be amiss. But there she was, slightly disoriented yet unmistakably my daughter. "It's me," I reassured her gently, my heart swelling with love. She glanced around, confusion etched on her face. "Where am I?" "You're at the hospital," I explained, keeping my tone calm. "You fell. Do you remember?" She frowned slightly, her brow furrowing in thought. "Kind of. I got a little dizzy." "Exactly," I confirmed. "That's what happened.

And then you fell." "Oh," she replied, a hint of acceptance in her voice. She looked back at me, her expression shifting to one of concern. "I'm sorry." My heart ached at her words. "It's not your fault, Stacy. You just weren't feeling well. But the healers here, they've been helping..." I chose to omit any mention of Annette. Perhaps I should have said something, but Stacy had enough on her plate, and I certainly did too. For now, discussing Annette would only complicate things further. "How do you feel?" I asked, genuinely wanting to know. "Okay," she said, pausing to consider her answer.

"Hungry." I chuckled softly, the sound lifting the heaviness in the air. "I bet. Let me fetch a healer to check you over, and then we'll get you some food." I stepped into the hallway, seeking out a nurse to inform them that Stacy was awake. They sprang into action, moving quickly to locate a healer. Given that Annette had spent the night in the breakroom, I half-expected her to stroll through the door at any moment. Instead, to my surprise, a different healer from the previous day entered to examine Stacy. "Good morning, Stacy," she greeted warmly.

"We're delighted to see you awake." "G'morning," Stacy replied, her voice soft and shy. I remained close by, watching the examination unfold while keeping a respectful distance. When a nurse entered, I seized the opportunity to ask if she could go fetch Amy and their grandparents from the waiting room. Martin had already texted me this morning, letting me know they had returned. I waited with a mix of patience and anxiety for the healer to finish her assessment. Once she did, she clasped her hands together, a smile gracing her lips. "You seem to be doing well, Stacy," the healer announced.

"However, when you get back home..." She glanced up at me, her expression serious. "It would be wise for Stacy to have regular check-ups with her local healers, just to monitor her bloodwork and hopefully prevent a recurrence." "Is there a chance this could happen again?" I asked, concern threading through my voice. I worried that this might give Claire more leverage over us. She had already taken so much; what more could I possibly offer her in exchange for Stacy's health? "Unfortunately, yes," the healer replied. "But with proper monitoring, it shouldn't be a cause for alarm.

If you'll excuse me." As the healer stepped out, Martin, Lillian, and Amy entered the room. "Stacy!" Amy exclaimed, her voice bursting with joy as she rushed to her sister. Their grandparents followed more slowly, but their faces radiated happiness at the sight of their granddaughter. Just as I was about to ask the healer one last question regarding potential side effects, I poked my head into the hallway to call after her. But my voice faltered, caught in my throat. The healer was conversing with Annette, who wore a smile that suggested she was pleased with the news.

Just then, Jake appeared at her side. "You've been here too long, Annette," he said, his tone firm yet caring. "I'm taking you back to the palace now." Annette's bright demeanor dimmed slightly, but she nodded in agreement, turning to leave with Jake, who wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders. I should have felt a sense of relief at the thought of the Amelia-imposter being out of my life again, but instead, an emptiness settled in the pit of my stomach. Desperate to push aside thoughts of her and the void she left behind, I returned to the room.

Stacy was scanning her surroundings, her gaze searching for something or someone. When she found nothing, her eyes turned back to me, filled with a child's innocence and confusion. "Daddy, where's Mom?" **Amelia's POV** While I was relieved to hear that Stacy was doing better, a wave of dread washed over me at the thought of returning to the Alpha King's palace and facing the Alpha Ball. And Ian, who would surely be waiting for me. Currently, I sat in the backseat of a car with Jake, who had insisted I leave the hospital. "I know you wanted to stay," he said, his tone gentle but firm.

"And I admire your compassion, especially towards children. But now that Stacy is well, your responsibilities lie at the Ball." I sighed, feeling a mix of pride and reluctance. "I'm so proud of the work I did at the hospital," I said, trying to steer the conversation towards a brighter note. I was eager to share my newfound revelations with my brother, my dreams for the future. "I've really been thinking that this could be my calling. I could even become a pediatrician and help save kids." Jake's expression remained impassive, his eyes betraying none of my excitement.

"You should discuss that with Ian. Since you will soon be his wife, it's best to align with his wishes to ensure a happy marriage." The mention of marriage sent a jolt through me. I was barely dating Ian, and Jake was already talking about tying the knot? Sure, I understood that marriage was often the end goal of dating, but it felt far too soon to be having that conversation. And the idea of molding myself to fit Ian's expectations? That didn't sit well with me at all. "I envision a marriage that is more of a partnership," I replied, my conviction growing stronger.

"One where we can both express our ideas and work together through compromise." "There's nothing inherently wrong with a husband making decisions," Jake countered, his tone matter-of-fact. "Especially considering your past choices... well, they haven't always been the best, Annette." His words struck me like a physical blow. My family rarely discussed my past before my amnesia, and hearing him voice those sentiments now stung more than I had anticipated. What kind of person had I been back then, that even my own family felt ashamed of me?

Conclusion As the chapter draws to a close, the emotional tumult within Damien and Amelia reveals the complexities of love, responsibility, and identity.
