Jason and Nydia stood before Dave, their hands tightly interlocked, their gaze deep and endless, a test Tove

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the hospital room, followed by a knock on the door 

Jason closest to the door, turned and opened it 

Two men in sleek suits stood outside, and Jason’s eyes dropped to the badges on their chests, recognizing them as prosecutors 

Cedric in here?” 

The stem voice sent a shiver down Cedric spinel 

Jason’s eyes darkened as he stepped aside to let them through 

The prosecutors walked in with stem faces, and upon seeing Dave, they paused, then respectfully bowed. 

Judge Dave’s illustrious past was well–known in the legal community a highly respected elder. These juniors naturally treated him with due deference. 

“Mr Cedric, please come with us” they said, using an honorific out of respect for the old judge 

They didn’t say what for, but as the saying goes, the less said the bigger the issue 

Cedric’s legs trembled, his lips quivered, and each step was as difficult as walking in mud. 

Eventually, he had to be escorted out of the room by the investigators. 

Mrs. Dempsey covered her face and wept bitterly, while Dave’s grey–haired brows furrowed deeply, as if struck by a thunderbolt, 

unable to recover from the shock 

No more words were needed, nor explanations from Cedric 

Ivan’s integrity was beyond reproach, and he’d never lied to them. Besides, prosecutors wouldn’t come to arrest someone without sold evidence. 

At this point, Jason had no more attachment to this home. He wrapped his arm around Nydia’s waist and walked with her 

towards the exit 

*Jason! Where are you going? Come back! 

Mrs. Dempsey, tears blinding her, reached out desperately to her son, “Have you forsaken us, have you forsaken this home? 

Jason stopped abruptly. 

Mrs. Dempsey’s heart leaped with hope, but in the next breath, his cold words struck them like a knife. 

“From now on, consider your third son dead.” 

The young couple walked towards the hospital parking lot. 

Jason hadn’t said a word the whole way, but Nydia could feel his suppressed anguish through the tension in his jaw and the quivering grip around her waist 

Nydia wanted to offer some comfort, but knowing that it was all because of her, she doubted her right to say anything and simply hung her head in guilty silence. 

“Nydia, don’t blame yourself. None of this is on you” Jason reassured her, voice tender to the extreme. 

Tears welled i 

in Nydia’s eyes as she murmured, “But…”

“You’re my true love, my future. I’ll walk with you unflinchingly, and no one, no one will stop me.” 

Just as he finished speaking, Ivan’s voice reached them from behind, “Jason!” 

They turned, seeing Ivan hurrying towards them. 

“Ivan, thanks for speaking up for Nydia today, for standing by us.” 

Jason’s eyes revealed a touch of warmth, “We’ll never forget what you’ve done for us. I will repay this debt, no matter what it takes. 

Ivan’s gaze held a tinge of regret, Jason, you’re my brother, my only brother. Are you s 

saying you don’t recognize me anymore?” 

“No, that’s not what I mean.” 

“Jason, I’m sorry 

The couple was taken aback, and Jason quickly said, “van, what are you talking about? You’ve never done anything to be sorry for, don’t say that!” 

“No, I’ve been wanting to say sorry for a long time. It’s just a little too late. 

Ivan looked down, a tear threatening to escape, Tm naturally detached, and I’ve always been preoccupied with my studies, my ambitions, so I never involved myself in family matters. Iknew Cedric was bullying you, and I knew you suffered a lot for this family. But because of my indifference and selfishness, I never stood up for you as your older brother should have.” 

“Ivan 

“Tve failed as your elder brother And I know I can’t make up for the brotherly love you’ve missed or the hurt it’s caused. Now, all I want is to do something for you both, anything to ease my conscience.” 

Ivan then turned to Nydia with a warm gaze and a smile of relief, “Nydia, please take care of Jason from now on. I hope you two will soon tie the knot and walk down the aisle. Let me know when the wedding is, and I’ll make sure to be there with a generous gift. 

“Thank you, Ivan Nydia’s eyes brimmed with gratitude. 

Jason’s clear eyes shone with sincerity as he placed his hands heavily on his brother’s shoulders. 

“Ivan, you said you wanted to make it up to me, right? Agree to one thing, and it’s all settled” 

“What is it?” 

Jason smiled faintly, “No matter what, don’t resign. I don’t want the world to lose a judge as honorable and upstanding as you 

Ivan’s heart pounded fiercely, and tears hovered in his eyes. 

Tonight, Nydia threw caution to the wind, insisting on staying with Jason and not returning to her place in Silverlake Harbor 

Jason, unable to change her mind and unwilling to let her go, drove her back to his home in Elmsworth. 

He didn’t own property in Skyrim, but he did own a charming two–story colonial house in Elmsworth, even though it had been a long time since he’d last stayed there. 

After a day of ups and downs, Jason knew Nydia was exhausted, so he suggested she take a shower while he went to the local supermarket to pick up some groceries and essentials, planning to warm up a glass of milk for her later. 

Nydia emerged from the shower, her delicate figure shimmering under the soft lighting. 

On the bed, Jason had thoughtfully laid out one of his white dress shirts for her to use as a nightshirt. 

Nydia slipped into it, delighted by its oversized, dress–like fit. She twirled in front of the mirror, feeling more joy than when donning any of her fancy attire. 

Suddenly, her phone rang, startling her. 

Tiptoeing to the bed, she picked up the phone and saw it was a call from her mother, her heart racing with panic. 

But in the end, not wanting to worry her mother, she answered the call. 

“Nydia, why aren’t you home yet? Where have you gone?” Myra’s voice was full of concern. 

Tm fine, Mom, I’m doing okay” 

“Where are you right now?” 

Tm in Elmsworth, with Jason.” 

Taking a deep breath, Nydia mustered her courage, “Mom, I’m not coming home tonight. Jason’s feeling down. I want to stay with 

him.” 

Myra went silent, which increased Nydia’s anxiety. 

After a moment, Myra asked softly. “Are you staying at a hotel, or at your sister’s place in Elmsworth?” 

“Neither, Jason has his own place here in Elmsworth,” Nydia’s voice grew fainter, her cheeks flushing. 

“My dear, so you’ve made your decision? You’re ready?” 

Nydia blinked, confused. “Uh,” 

“Jason is a good kid, and you’re twenty two now, a grown woman. I know I can’t control you anymore, even if I wanted to.” 

“Mom, L.. 

Myra sighed gently, her tone tender without a hint of reproach, but with a touch of concern, “Nydia, you don’t have to explain, Ive been there, I understand. If you’re ready to give yourself to Jason, I won’t stop you. But be safe, you’re not married yet, and no matter how much you love this man, you need to protect yourself and maintain your boundaries. However, I know Jason loves you dearly, and he will take good care of you” 

Nydia’s eyes welled up with emotion, her heart fluttering her cheeks blushing like the dawn. 

After waiting for a while in the room without Jason coming up, Nydia decided to seek him out. 

She stepped into the kitchen, hearing the bubbling sound of boiling water 

Jason’s tall silhouette stood motionless by the stove, not responding to her calls. 

Nydia, her bare feet pattering on the floor, wrapped her arms around his strong waist from behind, her voice soft and tender, “Jason? What’s wrong? Why are you spacing out? 

He shuddered at her touch, quickly trying to wipe away the tear at the corner of his eye, but it was too late. She caught him in the 

act 

“Jason, you’re crying?” 

“It’s nothing,” Jason mumbled, turning away as a tear dropped into the pot of milk. 

Nydia hurried to his side, turning him to face her, seeing the wet streaks on his cheeks, she became anxious and concerned, her warm palms touching his face, “You say it’s nothing, but your eyes are all puffy! What’s really going on? Jason, don’t hide it from me, don’t scare me!” 

Jason’s chest felt tight and sore, as if a blunt knife were grinding against his heart, Tm sorry. Nydia, for all the trouble you went through today. The more I think about it, the angrier I get, the more I feel so useless”
