Chapter 209 

Even though Anathea had tried again and again to drill it into herself to be coldhearted, the moment she heard Cyruswords, her heart jolted as she hurried toward Xander’s room

The moment she saw Xander lying weakly in bed, Anathea tensed up and quickly moved to check on him

Though dazed with fever, Xander seemed to sense that his mother was near. He forced his eyes open

When he saw Anathea, his eyes welled up with tears. His voice had gone hoarse and faint as he struggled to speak. MomThat one word tugged at Anathea’s heart, and a flicker of emotion passed through her eyes

Wwhat should we do? He doesn’t look well. Could it be something serious?Cyrusanxious voice snapped Anathea out of it. She didn’t respond right away but glanced at the thermometer. It read 102.2°F, and there were little red rashes on Xander’s arms. She understood instantly. It’s an acute allergic reaction.” 

Anathea had taken care of him all these years. No one knew his condition better than she did

Call Mateo. Tell him to bring Xander’s usual allergy medication. He’ll need an IV too. Make sure Mateo comes prepared,she ordered Cyrus, who was pacing back and forth

Yyes, right away,Cyrus stammered, relieved that someone was taking charge

The rest of the staff snapped back into action under Anathea’s orders, each of them focused and organized again

Jenny handed Anathea a towel. As she watched Anathea wipe Xander down, Jenny felt a surge of emotion. As expected, Anathea was their anchor. With her back, they no longer felt like headless chickens running around with no idea what to do

Sinclair Villa, which had felt so lifeless since Anathea left, finally became lively again, filled with real energy

Mateo arrived and started treating Xander

Meanwhile, Anathea was in the kitchen, making soup for Xander, with Jenny helping her out

It’s so good to have you back, Mrs. Sinclair,uttered Jenny sincerely

You have no ideawhile you were gone, it was like walking into a battle every time Mr. Xander got sick. We’d all be in a panic, not even knowing what we were doing. But here you are, so calm and steady. You have everything under control.” 

Anathea smiled faintly

You’re not planning to leave again, are you?Jenny asked, not hiding the hope in her voice

Without Anathea around, the whole house felt as though it was under a heavy, gloomy cloud, especially with Gregory’s intense and cold presence that made the place unbearable

But today, he’d actually called ahead and told them to clean the master bedroom because Anathea was coming home. Even his tone had sounded softer, not nearly as menacing as usual

Jenny had worked in Sinclair Villa for years. She knew only Anathea could influence Gregory’s mood like that

So, to Jenny, Anathea was her lifeline. She didn’t want Anathea to leave again

Maybe,Anathea said quietly

As she met Jenny’s eager gaze, something flickered in her eyes faintly

She did want to leave. But with the way things were now, she couldn’t

Still, once Gregory got Adam the treatment he needed and she helped him land the project with Wesleymaybe he might decide she wasn’t useful to him anymore. Maybe then he would bring Natalie back

When that time came, she wouldn’t hesitate to leave with her baby

As for Xander… 

She felt complicated about him

Every time she saw him, she couldn’t help but remember how he’d defended Natalie with that innocent, childish face of his. At that time, he’d looked at Anathea with nothing but disgust and said such hurtful words to her

She didn’t want to hold onto any more hope

But when she walked into Xander’s room holding the bowl of soup, the light suddenly returned to his eyes as he cried with urgency, Mom? Mom, it’s you!”
