    Tyler lifted the thermos sk, remarking, “I know who sent this.”


    Caroline grasped the scarf–packed gift box, asking, “It’s from Axel, right?”


    Tyler nodded. “I have a gift for Axel too, Mommy. Could you arrange for its delivery?”


    “Mommy, I’ve got a present for Axel too!” Liora said.


    “Alright,” Caroline replied, contemting who should handle the gift deliveries, when Eira


    approached.


    “I’ll do it! I met the man who came this afternoon! He looks in, but he has enormous eyes and a


    graceful face,” Eira stated.


    Caroline realized Eira was referring to Reuben but didn’t expect her to describe him as dull.


    Caroline instructed the children, ‘Fetch the gifts from upstairs. There’s a watch on my bedside.


    table. Please bring it as well.”


    Liora yfully teased Caroline, “You secretly bought a gift for Axel too, Mommy.”


    Caroline affectionately patted Liora’s head. “It’s the same watch you have.”


    The two children hurried upstairs to retrieve the gifts while Caroline provided Eira with Vi


    Rosa’s address.


    After dinner, Eira delivered the gifts to Vi Rosa while Caroline prepared the children for bed. They


    needed to wake up early the next day.


    Alex visited Evan in the hospital. Observing Axel asleep before 7:00 p.m., Alex whispered, “Why is


    he asleep so early?”


    With a deep frown, Evan held up the test results sent by the doctor. “He has a high fever, and they


    drew a lot of blood.”


    Alex sighed. “When does chemotherapy start?”


    Evan looked up. “After his infection clears and his fever subsides, probably the day after tomorrow.


    Alex asked, “What about the bone marrow?”

    Evan’s suspicious expression deepened. “I’ve sent someone to check the ck market and reach


    out to major hospitals, but they haven’t found a suitable match yet.”


    “You don’t need to rush it. I heard the transnt can only happen after the initial treatment,” Alex


    reassured.

    Evan ced the report on the shelf. “Hmm. Watch over Axel for me tomorrow.”


    Alex agreed, “Of course. What will you be doing?”


    Evan replied in a deep voice, “I have to attend Lily’s burial.”


    “Ah. Leave it to me,” Alex offered.


    On December 25th, Caroline brought the children to the cemetery early in the morning.


    Scott had chosen the same cemetery where Caroline’s adoptive mother rested.


    As Caroline stepped out of the car, her tears flowed uncontrobly. Paige handed her a tissue and


    said, “Don’t cry, Carol. Ms. Smith wouldn’t want you to be sad.”


    Caroline nodded, and they entered the cemetery together. A funeral celebrant led the burial


    ceremony at the tombstone chosen by Scott.


    After the procedures concluded, Caroline sank to her knees in sorrow. Meanwhile, the two


    children sobbed in Paige and Neil’sforting arms.


    As the group prepared to leave, an unexpected figure appeared.


    “Why is my boss here?” Paige eximed.


    Caroline’s gaze turned icy as she spotted the man in a ck suit approaching with Reuben.


    Caroline spoke coldly. “Take the children and wait in the car.”


    Paige looked concerned butplied, “Are you staying?”


    Neil added, “Carol, it might be best if we stay.”
