On one hand, it was genuinely touching to see Stefan and Renee back in each other's orbit. The air around them had seemed lighter, almost as if a wound had begun to heal. But Elijah—ever the pragmatic observer—couldn't shake the cold knot of worry tightening in his chest. Because if the couple rekindled their love, he knew the threats lurking in the shadows would only grow more vicious. Power, jealousy, past enemies... they all had a way of surfacing when Stefan dared to be happy.
Watching those two was exhausting, even from the outside. Like being trapped in a drama that never paused for breath.
In the hospital room, the silence stretched thin until Stefan's voice cut through it like a shard of ice. "Cut the crap and go, or I'll go on my own."
He was through waiting. Stefan had already pieced together the unsettling likelihood that Renee might be with Jovan—that smooth, dangerous rival who had his own reasons for keeping her close. It was precisely that possibility which made her hesitant to video call her children. But now, with Adie standing there asking for his help, Stefan had found his perfect excuse, and he had every intention of clinging to it with both hands. No way was he letting this opportunity slip away.
It was Adie who had come to him. And where Adie went, Stefan intended to follow—not just to protect the boy, but to prove, over and over again, that he was worthy of a second chance.
Elijah, ever resourceful on the ground, promptly made a few calls. In minutes, a team of his most trusted men began assembling outside. It was clear he knew exactly how to arrange an escort without drawing unnecessary attention.
Just as Elijah pocketed his phone, Adie turned to Stefan with that unexpectedly serious gaze of a child who had read too many books about honor and redemption. He gave a small thumbs-up.
"Well... Although you're disloyal, you're efficient. That's good." Adie made his little pronouncement with all the gravity of a judge passing a verdict. "Initially, you had negative a hundred points. But now, you've earned yourself one point, so your current total is negative ninety-nine points. Work harder, and you can get back with my mommy once you get a hundred points."
Both Stefan and Elijah blinked at the sheer audacity of that statement. The corners of their lips twitched almost imperceptibly. Adie had always been wise beyond his years, but this kind of mathematical ultimatum? That was pure genius.
Elijah couldn't resist needling the boy. With a teasing grin, he asked, "It's going to take a long time for them to get back together, Adie. Aren't you afraid that they might find someone new by then?"
Adie looked utterly unfazed. His small shoulders lifted in a calm shrug. "If that happens, it means they aren’t a perfect match. In that case, it's okay even if they find someone new."
There was a wisdom buried in that childlike response—a strange, profound sense of letting go. It wasn't that Adie didn't want his parents together; he did. But if destiny had other plans? Then so be it. He simply wanted his mother to be happy.
Elijah let out a hearty laugh, the tension easing from his shoulders. "Haha! That's true." Then, with a much more serious look, he turned to Stefan and said solemnly, "You'd better work hard then. Because with that score, it's going to take a long time for you to earn two hundred points. Wait—what did I say? Two hundred? That means you have to earn a hundred and ninety-nine more success points to be safe!"
But Stefan didn't look the least bit discouraged. In fact, the faintest smile of contentment crept across his handsome face. "It's okay. I have the time."
Those words weren't empty bravado. Stefan meant them. He would spend the rest of his life earning back every last point if he had to—as long as it meant spending that life beside Renee, Adie, and Abby. He would be patient. He would be relentless.
While Elijah's reinforcements were gathering outside the hospital, a familiar figure quietly approached the ward. Margaret, breathless and anxious, was initially stopped by the bodyguards stationed at the entrance. But luckily, Francine happened to catch sight of her and waved her through.
Margaret stepped inside, and the moment her eyes landed on Adie, relief flooded her expression like sunlight breaking through clouds.
"Adie! You're really here..." she breathed, a hand over her chest.
Adie blinked in surprised confusion. "How did you know I was here, Margaret? Did Abby tell you? I didn’t tell her I was here."
Margaret's smile softened, and her next words struck little Adie like a thunderbolt. "It was your mommy. She found out your location."
For a second, the room seemed to freeze. Then Adie's eyes widened, bright with hope. He grabbed Margaret's hands tightly, practically bouncing. "Mommy? Is she back?"
"Yes, she came back not long after you left. She's worried sick about you. So let's go home and see her, okay?" Margaret squeezed his little hands reassuringly, already tugging him gently toward the door.
But Adie hesitated. His heart yearned to run straight into his mother's arms, yet his loyal little soul also remembered the lonely man lying in that hospital bed—the man who was trying so desperately to earn his points. So Adie turned and shot a long, searching, imploring look at Stefan.
Those big eyes said everything: *Should I stay? Will you come with me? Please don't let this chance slip away.*
Stefan's heart clenched.
Margaret noticed the exchange and gave Stefan a polite, careful nod. With quiet gratitude, she said, "I'm sorry if he caused you trouble, Mr. Hunt. I'll take him home now."
The words were polite. Dismissive. Closed.
And yet, as Margaret guided Adie toward the exit, Stefan's gaze never left the boy's small frame. His fingers twitched beneath the hospital sheets.
The game was far from over. With Adie back at Renee's side, and Renee now confirmed in the city, the next move would be his.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a warm and quietly gripping chapter! Watching Adie run his own little "point system" for his father is both heartwarming and hilarious—it really showcases the cleverness of this child. And Stefan's patience when he says, "I have the time," is the kind of soft, stubborn devotion that makes you believe he truly has changed. There's also a beautiful layer of tenderness here: Adie's unconditional trust, Elijah's loyal teasing, Margaret's protective worry, and the constant, invisible thread of Renee pulling everyone toward her. The whole scene balanced amusement and anticipation beautifully, leaving us ready for the storm of the next encounter.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.8 / 5 Stars

## Next Chapter Prediction
Now that Margaret has taken Adie back to Renee, Stefan will almost certainly follow—and not entirely for the excuse of protecting his son. I predict we're heading toward a tense, emotional confrontation between Stefan and Renee at her doorstep (or wherever she's staying). With Adie playing negotiator on the side, Stefan might finally get a chance to speak to Renee face-to-face about everything: the past, the secrets, and what he's willing to do to earn those remaining ninety-nine points. However, Jovan won't simply sit back knowing Stefan is closing in. Expect a rivalry clash and some hidden truths to surface—because in this story, every happy reunion comes with a price.
