After planning their segment, they delved into intensive practice sessions.
Their collective harmony had grown, streamlining their progress.
Consequently, Ariana found herself with some free time, which serendipitously allowed her to
accompany Mitchel to his grandfather’s birthday celebration.
Still, a dilemma lingered: Who would care for Melon during the event?
Despite reaching out to numerous friends, no one was available, and the thought of leaving Melon
alone was out of the question for Ariana.
Suddenly, Mitchel’s car pulled up, catching Ariana off guard with its unexpected timing.
“You’re here early! I’m still trying to figure out arrangements for Melon.”
Mitchel, brushing Melon’s hair with his fingers, offered a reassuring smile.
“It’s okay. He can come with us.”

Before Ariana could process his suggestion, Melon had already wrapped his arms around Mitchel’s leg,
gazing up at her with eager anticipation.
Seeing Melon’s hopeful look, Ariana relented.
“Okay, we’ll bring you along.”
Together, the trio made their way to the Chadwick family estate.
The Chadwick name was synonymous with prestige. Their sprawling mansion, bathed in a warm glow,
was alive with a festive ambiance.
The banquet hall was a beehive of activity, with a constellation of the city’s elite present to honor
Mitchel’s grandfather.
Rodney, leaning on Catalina for support, made his entrance from the upper level. Immediately, a swarm
of well-wishers encircled them, extending their regards and best wishes.
With grace, Catalina acknowledged each gesture. However, her eyes constantly darted around,
searching. In a low voice tinged with concern, she remarked to Rodney, “Mitchel’s tardiness is startingnovelbin
to become a habit. How can he be late for his own grandfather’s birthday?”
As her words lingered in the air, a familiar voice echoed from behind.
“Mother.”
Catalina’s gaze shifted to her son, whom she hadn’t set eyes on in months. By his side stood an
elegantly beautiful woman.
Initially, Catalina felt a surge of relief, thinking her son might have finally decided to settle down.
But upon closer inspection, recognition dawned.
The woman was none other than the very patient who had crossed paths with Mitchel five years earlier
during his medical practice.
A torrent of mixed emotions coursed through Catalina.
