She had once longed so deeply for his kindness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He even remembered the time she burned her finger and came running to him, holding it out with tears in her eyes, saying, \u201cVincent, can you kiss it better?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, Vincent had just glanced up at her and replied flatly, \u201cI\u2019m not a doctor. Have Freya get you some ice for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He might have caught the flash of disappointment in Scarlett\u2019s eyes back then, but he hadn\u2019t cared enough to let it bother him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like now, he was the one feeling uneasy, but Scarlett couldn\u2019t have cared less.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching her walk further away, Vincent couldn\u2019t stop himself from calling out, \u201cScarlett, wait.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing him, she paused and half\u2013turned to look back. \u201cYes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLily is bringing lunch around noon,\u201d Vincent said. \u201cWould you like to join us?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, thank you.\u201d Scarlett refused politely. \u201cMy lunch is already taken care of.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she turned and walked away again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent stared after her, rooted to the spot for a long moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A strange feeling settled in his chest\u2013one he couldn\u2019t quite name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, he couldn\u2019t help wondering\u2013when she said her lunch was \u201ctaken care of, did she mean by Damian\u2026 or by Nolan?\u00a0<\/p>\n
That evening, Claire had an event to attend, so she left once other members of the Theron family arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet didn\u2019t come that night. It was Nathan who showed up, bringing dinner with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Scarlett had been admitted to the hospital, Nathan hadn\u2019t visited once\u2014until that night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having grown up together, Scarlett knew Nathan well. He was a man of few words and even fewer smiles, methodical in everything he did, with a temper that could shift unpredictably. Even though they were siblings, being alone with him still made Scarlett feel a little on edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was propped up against the headboard of the hospital bed, slowly eating the dinner Nathan had brought. Nathan sat in the chair beside her, carefully peeling an orange.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When he finished, he placed the segments neatly into a small container. After wiping his hands clean, he looked over at Scarlett. \u201cWhere\u2019s Damian?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The day Damian had carried Scarlett out of the house, the whole family had rushed to the hospital. Once they learned Scarlett was hospitalized with a high fever, Nathan had urged their parents to go home and rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had intended to ask Damian right then what he was doing at Theron Manor in the first place, but Violet had stopped him. Not only did she shut down his questions, but she also told him to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan understood what Violet was thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, for the past couple of days, even though he was worried about his sister, he hadn\u2019t come to visit. It wasn\u2019t that he didn\u2019t want to\u2013he was afraid that if he saw Damian, he wouldn\u2019t be able to hold back his resentment and might end up throwing a punch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And, of course, Violet hadn\u2019t wanted him coming to the hospital, either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a3\u00a0<\/p>\n
At her brother\u2019s question about Damian, Scarlett\u2019s hand stilled for a second. \u201cHe went back,\u201d she answered quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan let out a low, derisive sound. \u201cCouldn\u2019t even last two days taking care of you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett set her lunch container aside and picked up a piece of orange, eating it slowly. \u201cAfter all, he\u2019s a Langley,\u201d she said, her voice soft. \u201cHe was never really one of us to begin with.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though Nathan\u2019s tone was sharp, beneath it was genuine concern for Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing her reply, he looked at her with worry. \u201cI\u2019m not against you seeing someone, Scarlett. But finding someone stable and grounded is worth more than all the glitter and promises from those old\u2013money families. Violet keeps telling me how wonderful Damian is, but I honestly don\u2019t see it. He couldn\u2019t handle looking after you for two days before taking off. How is he supposed to be there for a lifetime?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A faint smile touched Scarlett\u2019s lips. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Nathan,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to fall in love again so easily.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan watched Scarlett, his heart aching for her. She\u2019d been married to Vincent for years\u2013she must have endured more than her share of hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otherwise, someone as kind\u2013hearted as her would never have sought a divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought filled him with a frustrated sense of helplessness. If only he were more influential, more capable\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
He managed a smile for her, though his eyes were still shadowed with pity. \u201cFor what it\u2019s worth,\u00a0<\/p>\n

I think that Nolan is a decent guy. You\u2019re both in medicine, your backgrounds are compatible\u2026 and if he ever gives you trouble, I could be at his door in ten minutes flat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett couldn\u2019t help but laugh at that. \u201cNathan, Clara says she\u2019ll support me if I stay single. What if I just don\u2019t get married again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan lowered the hand he\u2019d raised demonstratively and smiled a little more genuinely. \u201cYou absolutely can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Truthfully, he\u2019d prefer if his sister never remarried at all. But if she did, he\u2019d rather it be someone like Nolan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mention of Clara reminded Scarlett of something. \u201cIs Clara at home by herself?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s home packing for the weekend trip,\u201d Nathan said. \u201cActually, she asked me to check if you\u2019re still feeling up to going with her this weekend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was called a fall outing, though early winter had already set in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Remembering the promise she\u2019d made to Clara, Scarlett nodded. \u201cYes, I\u2019ll go. I promised her, so I\u2019m not backing out now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
