“So Lyndon Spenser forced you, but what about you conspiring with Jade’s brother’s girlfriend to egg Robert and Cindy into trashing your house? Were you ‘forced’ to do that, too?”

Amara gave a surprisingly blunt answer to that question.

“I did it on purpose. I only did it because I wanted you to finally care about me…”

As she spoke, the tears started falling all over again.

“Don’t you see? You’ve changed so much lately because of Jade. First you kicked me out of the house, then you went completely cold and stopped taking my calls-you even banned me from coming to see you at the office… I… I was desperate, I didn’t know what else to do…”

She sounded utterly heartbroken as she slid off the sofa and onto the floor.

“I thought if I could just make you disappointed in Jade, you wouldn’t treat me like this anymore… I’m so sorry… Ever since Ronald died, my whole world has been pitch black. It wasn’t until I came back to the city and saw you that I finally saw a glimmer of light again.”

She lifted her tear-filled eyes to Hudson and reached out, her fingers latching onto his wrist like it was her only lifeline.

“Hudson, I… I literally can’t live without you. I know I messed up, I really do. I’ll do it—I’ll get on my knees and beg Jade for forgiveness, anything… just please, please don’t give up on me, okay?”

Hudson didn’t pull his hand away immediately.

He stared at Amara’s panicked, unstable expression, and a dark realization started to take shape in his mind.

There was something seriously wrong with her mental state,

Instead of pushing her away, he hauled her up from the floor.

“We’re going to the hospital.”

The psychiatric department of a private hospital.

It didn’t take long for Hudson to get Amara’s diagnostic report.

:

The doctor sitting across from him looked incredibly grim.

“Mr. Walter, our preliminary diagnosis shows that Ms. Hoyt is suffering from severe clinical depression. For now, we can use medication to manage it, but the most important thing is to keep her environment stress-free. Any further shocks could worsen her condition and lead to severe psychosomatic reactions.”

Severe clinical depression?

Psychosomatic reactions?

Hudson gripped the medical report tight, glancing out at Amara curled into a ball on a hallway bench, and let out a long, silent sigh.

It seemed Ronald’s death really had shattered her mental state. 4

All her clinging to him was just a byproduct of her emotional void; his presence had simply become her only crutch, leading to this pathological dependence.

If that was the reality, then every single insane thing she’d done lately suddenly started to make sense.

He had considered a thousand different motives, but this was the one thing he’d never even suspected…

The edges of the diagnostic report crumpled under his grip.

Hudson couldn’t even label the storm of emotions swirling in his chest.

From the very day he brought her back, he’d kept promising himself and everyone else that he’d take care of her.

But as of right now, it looked like he hadn’t lived up to a single word of that promise.

Feeling the weight on his shoulders grow exponentially heavier, he walked over and called her name softly.

“Amara.”

Amara looked up, her eyes raw and swollen, looking like a complete and utter wreck.

“What did they say, Hudson? Am I… am I really sick?”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.” Hudson flipped the report over so she couldn’t see the text.

“The doctor just prescribed some meds. Just take them regularly and you’ll be fine.”

“Oh, thank god.”

Amara patted her chest in a gesture of relief and stood up, reaching for Hudson’s hand.

“Hudson, are you mad at me? I know I did Jade wrong-I was just so unstable. I’ll apologize to her, I swear.”

Hudson’s

gaze flickered with hesitation, but before he could speak, his phone started vibrating.

He saw it was Kevin calling and picked up immediately.

“What’s the status?”

Kevin’s voice was frantic on the other end.

“Sir, it’s a disaster. Mrs. Walter just dumped a massive cache of recordings online proving that Amara framed her. On top of that, she’s officially hired counsel to sue her for defamation.

“Furthermore, she submitted those viral photos of you and Amara directly to the court. The lawsuit has already been accepted, which means you’ll likely be served with a summons very soon. The Walter Group is drowning in a PR nightmare right now, and the team can’t stop the bleeding.”

Hudson’s expression shattered, his brows drawing into a deep, heavy scowl.
