“Did you really do nothing?” I smiled slightly. Then, give our baby the grandest fireworks show,

Nicholas’s eyes were red as he nodded. He immediately pulled out his phone and made the

arrangements himself. The display was so grand that overshadowed Pete’s wedding, but I wasn’t able

to enjoy it

Back at the hotel, I was already running a fever. The fever came from an infection due to my injuries. It wasn’t easy to get proper treatment abroad for something like this, so I was given a few pills and left to wat for my body to cool down on its own.

In the pitch–black room, Nicholas sat by the bed and watched over me. My mind drifted in and out of consciousness, but I could still hear the distant fireworks outside

“Please get better soon. Perhaps you can talk to him. After all, he practically watched Pete grow up. He wouldn’t just ignore their brotherhood, right?”

I spent the rest of the night tossing and turning, trapped in nightmares. In the dream, Pete stood on the edge of a cliff, and Nicholas smiled at him from the front.

Each time Nicholas took a step forward, Pete retreated one step back. Pebbles tumbled off the cliffside. I screamed, “No! Stop!”

“Why are you sweating so much?” Nicholas moved in front of me, wiping my face with a tissue. “Did you

have a nightmare?”

I looked up at him, meeting his empty, hollow eyes.
