Crippled Luna's Farewell Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 

A flicker of something unreadable passed through Arnold’s eyes. He had expected this answer, yet it still unsettled him. But he didn’t show it. Instead, he simply nodded and pulled out his phone. He dialed Sarah’s number. 

No answer 

Arnold exhaled sharply. He knew she would ignore him. 

He narrowed his eyes, then unleashed his Alpha ability, forcing a mind–link with her. His voice, steady and firm, echoed in her mind: **Alex has a stomach bug. He wants to see you.” 

On the other side, Sarah had just finished discussing the final details of a cooperation deal when the message struck her consciousness. Her heart clenched involuntarily. 

Alex was sick? 

She gripped the edge of the table, a sudden wave of worry washing over her. 

No matter what had happened between her and Arnold, Alex was still her son. If he was unwell, she couldn’t just sit back and ignore it. 

“I’ll go back now,” she responded through the link. 

She could almost feel Arnold’s presence fade the moment she answered, as if he had been waiting just to hear those words. 

When Sarah arrived at the villa, the familiar scent of the place hit her instantly. 

She had spent years here, yet tonight, it felt different–like stepping into a house that no longer belonged 

to her. 

Arnold was waiting for her when she stepped inside. Their gazes met briefly, but neither of them spoke more than a few polite words. The tension between them was unspoken but heavy. 

Pushing it aside, Sarah went straight upstairs to Alex’s room. 

He was asleep, his small frame curled under the blanket. His chest rose and fell steadily, his lips slightly parted as he breathed. Even in sleep, he looked fragile. 

Sarah sat on the edge of the bed and gently brushed his hair back. 

As if sensing her presence, Alex stirred. His eyelashes fluttered, and then, slowly, his eyes opened.

The moment he saw her, his face lit up. 

“Mom!” he gasped, immediately sitting up and throwing his arms around her. 

Sarah’s heart softened. She held him tightly, stroking his back in slow, soothing motions. “I’m here,” she whispered. 

After a long moment, Alex pulled back slightly and looked up at her. “Mom, I’m hungry.” 

Sarah smiled. “I’ll have the maid bring up something to eat.” 

But Alex shook his head. “I only want to eat what you make.” 

Sarah hesitated. “Next time, sweetheart. We’ll talk about it later.” 

For a second, Alex’s face fell in disappointment, but then he quickly nodded. “Okay… but you have to stay with me.” 

Sarah glanced at Arnold, who was watching quietly from the doorway. There was something in his expression that she couldn’t quite decipher, but she ignored it. 

She turned back to Alex and squeezed his hand. “I’ll stay.” 

At the dinner table, Alex sat right next to her, eating with more enthusiasm than before. 

Between bites, he talked excitedly about little things that had happened recently. 

“Mom, tomorrow at school, we have a drawing competition! I made a car with wings! You know, like the 

one in that book we read before?” 

Sarah listened patiently, nodding along, feeling a warmth in her chest she hadn’t felt in a long time. 

When he was finally done eating, she gently patted his head. “Mommy has some things to do later, so I’ll make you that special breakfast next time.” 

Arnold, who had been silent the entire time, gave her a look. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes spoke 

volumes. 

Alex, however, wasn’t as subtle. His smile vanished instantly. 

“Mom! You’ve been working too much! You just got back, and now you’re leaving again?” His voice 

wavered, frustration bubbling up. “I don’t want that!” 

Sarah hesitated. 

The truth was, she could stay the night. There wasn’t anything urgent waiting for her.
