"What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, Fiona appeared at the doorway, asking directly.

Selena jumped, her heart pounding. She turned to look at Fiona with a smile. "Oh, | was just seeing if there's

anything | can help with."

Fiona walked over. "No need. You're a guest here now. Please, step out."

"No, no, really. | can help serve the dishes," Selena insisted. She grabbed a plate of greens and walked out, but

before she could set it down on the table, Gavin cover, asking, "Didn't you say you weren't feeling well and

went to the restroom? What are you doing here?"

Selena gave Keira a pitiful glance and sighed, "Ryan brought us here to try to fix things, didn't he? | said

something earlier that upset Uncle Lewis and Aunt Keera. | thought if | did a bit more, maybe they'd see I'm not

all bad."

Gavin paused, confused.

Selena continued, "I know I'm just an illegitimate child and no one really likes me. When Dad used to visit my

mom, | had to be extra good, do more work, and act mature, hoping he'd noticea bit more. I'm not upset. |

just want everyone to be happy."

She placed the plate on the table.

Seeing her try so hard, Gavin felt a pang in his heart. As an orphan himself, growing up in the Cobb family, he

also knew what it was like to live under someone else's roof, always walking on eggshells, hoping to avoid

conflict. It wasn't a feeling he could forget easily.

Clenching his fists, he suddenly grabbed Selena's hand. "I was wrong. We don't have to stay. You shouldn't be

putting up with this."

Selena had been aiming for Gavin to feel guilty, but if they left, how would she make sure he had the soup?

"No, it's fine," she quickly said. "I want to make things better. I'm really not upset."

Gavin frowned, "You don't need to suffer like this!"

Before Selena could respond, a few of the others noticed the tension.

James spoke up, "What's going on over there? Con, it's tto sit down."

Selena patted Gavin's hand and led him to sit at the far end of the table, in the most isolated corner.

The long dining table was crowded, and conversations becchaotic. People had to raise their voices to be

heard across the room. Gavin and Selena sat at the very end, far from everyone else.

Unfortunately, they were directly across from James and Kate, a pair known for their lack of tact. Kate leaned

over, her curiosity piqued. "I heard your dad was killed by your mom and her lover? Is that true?"

Selena's face darkened.

Kate wasn't trying to embarrass her; she was just blunt and loved gossip. This time, she was genuinely curious.

Selena lowered her head. "It's a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding? | thought so. What kind of mistress would kill her own sugar daddy? That'd be the

dumbest thing ever! People are spreading such crazy rumors these days," Kate said, shaking her head.

Her words made Selena's eyes well up with tears.

James chimed in, "Hey, don't cry. If it's a rumor, what's there to be upset about?"

Selena said nothing, but inside she was fuming. These two never knew when to stop!

Her hands trembled as she reached for her food. Whether it was from Fiona scaring her earlier or the anger these

two provoked, she couldn't tell. Either way, she felt weak.

What Selena didn't realize was that her advanced cancer was taking a toll on her body, slowly draining her

strength. Her arms had becfrail and thin.

She managed to take a few bites of food, trying to ease the nausea.

Gavin noticed and immediately poured her a glass of water. "Are you okay?"

Tearing up again, Selena looked at him. "I'm fine, just a bit overwhelmed... | did live here once, you know..."

Gavin sighed.

Selena's eyes flicked toward the soup. "You should have sof the soup."

“Alright.”

Gavin lifted the lid and took a look inside.

Selena grabbed a spoon and sipped sherself. The fresh, milky broth tasted amazing, but what a shame...

this delicious soup was destined to be Gavin's undoing.

With that thought, she took another sip.

Seeing her handle the soup without issue, Gavin felt reassured and took a few sips himself.

Up at the other end of the table, Keira and Lewis were sitting close, chatting quietly.

Keira asked, "I noticed you've installed a lot of new cameras around the house, even in the kitchen. What's up

with that?"

Lewis shrugged. "With Lion back in Crera, you never know. I'm just being cautious."

Keira sighed, "Fair enough."

She couldn't help but think it was overkill. Who installs so many cameras in their own home?

Just as the thought crossed her mind, a retching sound cfrom the far end of the table.
