Alex asked, “Why are you taking Axel to the hospital?”
Evan replied, “He has lost a lot of weight recently and has no appetite. He doesn’t look well.”
Alex speculated, “Maybe he’s just upset about not seeing Caroline. My aunt’s nephew acts the
same way.
Evan looked at him coldly and asked, “Do you really think Axel is that type of child?”

Caroline questioned, “So, you’re not planning on telling your mother about Paige?”
“I need time to do that. My mother has quite traditional views,” Alex replied.
Caroline pressed further, “So, you’re willing to let Paige endure this unfair treatment if your
