Without Joshua, she wouldn't have been used by Chris to get back at him. Seeing Allison drop her gaze in silence, Joshua's eyes reddened, his throat tight with bitterness, his heart aching like it was about to burst. After what felt like an eternity, Allison heard her own raspy voice: "We can't go back, Joshua, we just can't." The grip on her wrist tightened for a moment, then loosened bit by bit. Finally, Joshua let go of Allison's hand. His eyes, dark as a bottomless pit, were swirling with emotions, layers of pain surfacing. Allison didn't meet Joshua's gaze. She didn't say a word. As Joshua released her hand, she fled, as if she'd been set free. In the chilly wind, he stood there, unmoving like a statue. His eyes downcast, a single tear slipped quietly from beneath his lashes. Silent. Unnoticed.
In early spring, as nature calive with vibrant life, trees budding, flowers blooming, and gentle rains nourishing the earth, everything seemed to be thriving. But Joshua's world was bleak and desolate, drained of color.
When Joshua found out about Lizzy's mental health struggles, he immediately reached out to the world's top psychologist, even flying overnight to convince them in person. When Javier got wind of it, he just sneered coldly. Once the doctor settled into Oak Lake's tzone, they got straight to treating Lizzy.
When Joshua brought the doctor to the Owens' place, Linda politely but distantly thanked him, while Javier kept his chilly demeanor towards Joshua. The doctor was top-notch and experienced. After an initial assessment, she quickly cup with a treatment plan and offered to stay with the Owens family to care for Lizzy. The blonde, blue-eyed, middle-aged doctor said in English, “For kids, familiar surroundings and people help with treatment, so I wouldn't recommend sending her to a hospital or facility. Hcare is best, and if it's convenient, I can stay here to treat her." Javier replied smoothly in English, "Of course, that's convenient. Thank you, Doctor." The doctor nodded, smiling, "No need to thank me. As doctors, we hope for the best recovery for the child."

With everything sorted, Joshua said, "I'll be going then." Javier remained icy, not acknowledging Joshua at all. Linda, however, said, "Alright, take care." Joshua glanced at Allison, his eyes full of longing and affection. But Allison looked away, avoiding his eyes. Joshua felt a sharp pang in his heart, turned away, and headed for the door. Only after he turned did Allison look up, his retreating figure marked by loneliness and melancholy. Allison's breath caught. Her eyes stung with tears that refused to fall.
