Chapter 293 A Misleading Sight\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once they were ready, the two of them made their way to the pediatric unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From a distance, Scarlett saw Vincent leaning against Sabrina\u2019s shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She paused, and Damian stopped with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t approach them. Instead, she went straight to the doctor\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She needed to hear about Vanessa\u2019s condition directly from the physician. Only then would she feel settled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor on duty went over Vanessa\u2019s status patiently. Being a doctor herself, Scarlett understood the details. After the explanation, a quiet relief finally settled over her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leaving the office, she couldn\u2019t help one last glance toward Vincent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was still in the same position, head resting on Sabrina\u2019s shoulder. Their backs were to her, two figures leaning into each other, close and intimate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sensing Scarlett\u2019s mood, Damian stepped forward. Without waiting for her to agree, he gently lifted her into his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking down at her, he said softly, \u201cYou know, if you\u2019ll let me\u2026 I could be the one you lean on,\u00a0<\/p>\n
too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett met his gaze but didn\u2019t reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The movement caught Sabrina\u2019s attention. She glanced over just in time to see Damian carrying Scarlett away\u2013and caught a fragment of what he\u2019d said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A thought sparked in her mind\u2013those words felt like they were meant for her. Damian must have seen her with Vincent and gotten jealous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe she needed to find a moment to explain things to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lost in thought, she barely registered Vincent stirring beside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSabrina.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sat up straight and turned to her, noticing her distant expression. \u201cEverything alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina blinked, refocusing. \u201cYes, Vincent. What is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He studied her with concern. \u201cAre you tired?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

She shook her head with a gentle smile. \u201cNo, not at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent reached over and touched her hair, his voice softening. \u201cLet me take\u00a0<\/p>\n
you home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fine,\u201d she insisted. \u201cI can stay with you\u2013with Vanessa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll stay with her,\u201d he said firmly. \u201cYou should rest. You have lab work tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his resolve, Sabrina yielded gracefully. \u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent stood and offered his hand. \u201cCome on, I\u2019ll walk you out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina stared at his outstretched hand, her mind drifting again to the image of Damian carrying Scarlett. Maybe this was an opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Damian had misunderstood, now was the time to clarify.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled up at Vincent. \u201cYou\u2019re exhausted. Really, I can just take a cab. You should stay with Vanessa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d feel better if I took you myself,\u201d he insisted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina\u2019s eyes softened persuasively. \u201cBut Vanessa needs you here. I\u2019ll be fine\u2013I got here on my own, didn\u2019t I?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent hesitated, thinking of his daughter. Finally, he relented. \u201cThen let me call Abbott to drive you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Touched by his worry but focused on her own plan, Sabrina shook her head. \u201cI\u2019ll text you when I\u2019m home. Don\u2019t fuss, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t argue further but still walked her out to a taxi, watching it pull away before returning inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once in the cab, Sabrina said to the driver, \u201cYou can let me out up ahead. I\u2019ll still pay the full fare.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pleased with the arrangement, the driver agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After getting out, Sabrina took out her phone, opened her messages, and typed to Damian. \u201cMr. Langley, are you free to talk?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hit send, then turned back toward the hospital. It was late, and waiting outside alone didn\u2019t feel safe. Returning to the hospital grounds was the wiser choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead of going back to the unit, she found a bench in the courtyard and sat down, phone in\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back in the room, Damian had just carried Scarlett to her bed. He was about to offer some comforting words when she spoke first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDamian,\u201d she said quietly, \u201cI\u2019d like to take a shower.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian paused, studying her face for any hint of what she might be feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
