After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 196

Nora turned her gaze away from him, staring at the ceiling. She didn’t want to talk, didn’t want to see him. Everything was a mess, and she felt drained. But before she could ignore him completely, he spoke again.

"Alex is still young," Arnold said, his brow furrowing slightly. "He didn’t do it on purpose this time. Don’t take it too personally." His tone wasn’t exactly apologetic... more matter-of-fact, as if he was offering a logical explanation rather than asking for understanding.

Nora’s fingers curled into the hospital sheets.

Nora’s thoughts were surprisingly calm, clearer than they had ever been. As she lay in the hospital bed, her mind pieced everything together with a precision that came not from rage, but from cold, measured reasoning.

Outside, the fluorescent hospital lights buzzed faintly, casting a sterile glow over the white walls.

Cody hesitated for a brief second before pulling out his phone and showing Arnold the screen.

Arnold’s sharp gaze scanned the words, his brows knitting together as he read the article.

[Critical! STARLINE Studio spokesperson Nora suffers gas poisoning, her life at risk!]

The news article had already begun circulating rapidly, drawing public attention.

The accompanying pictures showed Nora’s unconscious form, being carried into the hospital by Cole and Bran, her face unnervingly pale.

On its own, the article was shocking, but nothing Arnold hadn’t expected. However, what followed beneath it made his expression darken.

There was a video attached to the article with a bold, attention-grabbing headline:
