Chapter 1885 After tucking Emily in, Melinda walked over to the other bed where Lilin was lying. The little girl was already fast asleep, yet her furrowed brow hinted at a troubled dream.

Melinda gently smoothed out the wrinkles between Lilin's eyebrows, then lifted the covers and laid down beside her, quietly closing her eyes.

Despite her skill in counseling Emily, Melinda could not entirely suppress her own worries. She was concerned about Adam's well-being in prison.

'That grumpy guy has never been easy to handle. Will he still be throwing tantrums at the others there? Sigh...' Melinda thought to herself. The challenges in life seemed to be universal.

Melinda was unable to find solace in sleep, so she gave up on it and sat up. When she realized that it was already dawn, she decided to get up and grab sbreakfast for Emily and Lilin.

Melinda slipped into her shoes and put on her coat before making her way to the door of the ward. As she opened it, she coincidentally bumped into Corinne, who was just about to knock.

Melinda was surprised to see her. "Corinne? What are you doing here so early?" Corinne was not alone as she was cradling Joey in her arms. Joey could not fall back asleep after being startled by a nightmare, so Corinne decided to take a walk to shift his focus. Additionally, she wanted to check on Emily. "Joey got a little hurt, so we're staying in the hospital. He couldn't sleep, and we thought we'd drop by to see my mom," Corinne explained.

Melinda looked at the marks on Joey's tiny face. She could not help but ask worriedly, "Poor boy. How did he get those marks on his face?" Corinne did not want to worry Emily, so she opted for a partial truth. "He had a minor bump. Missus Addison, is my mom still asleep?" Melinda glanced back at the bed where Emily lay asleep and raised a finger to her lips, signaling Corinne to keep quiet. "She just managed to fall asleep. Let her rest a bit more. I'm heading out to grab sbreakfast at the hospital entrance. How about joining me? I can get something for you and the little one as well." Corinne looked into the room, confirming that Emily was still asleep. After a moment's thought, she nodded and said, "Sure." They closed the door to the room and entered the elevator together.

Corinne wrapped Joey in her coat as they stepped outside so that he would not feel cold.

"Missus Addison, you mentioned my mom had a hard tfalling asleep. Do you know why that is? Has she been having trouble sleeping these past few days?" asked Corinne.

Melinda hesitated for a moment, glancing at Corinne before deciding to share a bit more Your mom had a nightmare that woke her up. Later, she saw someone she didn't want to see. It stirred up a lot of emotional turmoil and brought back spainful memories." Corinne frowned. "Someone my mom didn't want to see? Who was it?"

Melinda sighed. "Who else could it be? It's your biological father, am Maxwell Rivera He somehow found ell Rivera yourn where your mom is staying, cin, and spoke a few words to her-which were quite distressing for her." Corinne frowned as she recalled that she had indeed seen Maxwell when she was coming to see Emily.
