Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

Chapter 126

A flicker of something unreadable passed through Arnold's eyes. He had expected this answer, yet it still

unsettled him. But he didn’t show it. Instead, he simply nodded and pulled out his phone. He dialed Sarah's

number.

No answer

Arnold exhaled sharply. He knew she would ignore him.

He narrowed his eyes, then unleashed his Alpha ability, forcing a mind-link with her. His voice, steady and firm,

echoed in her mind: **Alex has a stomach bug. He wants to see you.”

On the other side, Sarah had just finished discussing the final details of a cooperation deal when the message

struck her consciousness. Her heart clenched involuntarily.

Alex was sick?

She gripped the edge of the table, a sudden wave of worry washing over her.

No matter what had happened between her and Arnold, Alex was still her son. If he was unwell, she couldn't just

sit back and ignore it.

“I'll go back now,” she responded through the link.

She could almost feel Arnold's presence fade the moment she answered, as if he had been waiting just to hear

those words.

When Sarah arrived at the villa, the familiar scent of the place hit her instantly.

She had spent years here, yet tonight, it felt different-like stepping into a house that no longer belonged

to her.

Arnold was waiting for her when she stepped inside. Their gazes met briefly, but neither of them spoke more

than a few polite words. The tension between them was unspoken but heavy.

Pushing it aside, Sarah went straight upstairs to Alex's room.

He was asleep, his small frcurled under the blanket. His chest rose and fell steadily, his lips slightly parted

as he breathed. Even in sleep, he looked fragile.

Sarah sat on the edge of the bed and gently brushed his hair back.

As if sensing her presence, Alex stirred. His eyelashes fluttered, and then, slowly, his eyes opened.

The moment he saw her, his face lit up.

“Mom!” he gasped, immediately sitting up and throwing his arms around her.

Sarah's heart softened. She held him tightly, stroking his back in slow, soothing motions. “I'm here,” she

whispered.

After a long moment, Alex pulled back slightly and looked up at her. “Mom, I'm hungry.”

Sarah smiled. “I'll have the maid bring up something to eat.”

But Alex shook his head. “I only want to eat what you make.”

Sarah hesitated. “Next time, sweetheart. We'll talk about it later.”

For a second, Alex's face fell in disappointment, but then he quickly nodded. “Okay... but you have to stay with

a,

Sarah glanced at Arnold, who was watching quietly from the doorway. There was something in his expression

that she couldn't quite decipher, but she ignored it.

She turned back to Alex and squeezed his hand. “I'll stay.”

At the dinner table, Alex sat right next to her, eating with more enthusiasm than before.

Between bites, he talked excitedly about little things that had happened recently.

“Mom, tomorrow at school, we have a drawing competition! | made a car with wings! You know, like the

one in that book we read before?”

Sarah listened patiently, nodding along, feeling a warmth in her chest she hadn't felt in a long time.

When he was finally done eating, she gently patted his head. “Mommy has sthings to do later, so I'll make

you that special breakfast next time.”

Arnold, who had been silent the entire time, gave her a look. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes spoke

volumes.

Alex, however, wasn’t as subtle. His smile vanished instantly.

“Mom! You've been working too much! You just got back, and now you're leaving again?” His voice

wavered, frustration bubbling up. “I don’t want that!”

Sarah hesitated.

The truth was, she could stay the night. There wasn’t anything urgent waiting for her.

After a moment, she sighed. “Okay, I'll stay.”

Alex's whole face brightened. “Yay!” He latched onto her arm, holding her tightly, as if afraid she'd disappear

again.

From the side, Arnold remained quiet, watching them. He took in the way Alex clung to his mother, the way

Sarah responded to him so naturally. He didn’t say anything, but his expression darkened slightly, deep in

thought.

That night, out of habit, Sarah walked toward the master bedroom.

When she opened the door, she froze.

Everything was different.

Everything in the room had changed, from the clothes in the closet to her usual skincare products on the dresser

had disappeared, leaving her with an overwhelming sense of strangeness - all traces of this room about her had

been erased.

It was as if she had never lived here.

At that moment, a maid passed by. She paused upon seeing Sarah.

“Miss Sarah,” the maid said politely-**Miss**, not **Luna**-“Your belongings have been packed and placed in

the attic.”

Sarah's fingers curled slightly.

“I see,” she murmured.

She turned away without another word.
