Chapter 114: Sorry, I Took the Script of “Beautiful Alone”
Gemma’s heat sink.
Alijah staying with the Wilson Emily meant he would get better education and a better environment to grow up in
And while Margaret looked down on her, she was strict with Ali, especially when it came to his studies.
As Ms. Shellie had said, the Wilsons had bined several private usors for All
Bat knowledge, no matter how abundam, had to be put to use.
That’s why Margaret insisted Alijah attend kindergarten, to socialize from a young age.
If he’d massed that for so long, something might have been wrong
“Ms. Shellie,”
Gemma sighed. “I’ll give you a number. You can reach out to her.”
Ms. Shellie hesitated. This 1.27.
“Ali’s grandmother. If she doesn’t agree to Ali going to school, I’m afraid there’s not much I can do.”
Gemma knew that, from what she understood about Mabel.
The woman didn’t really care for All.
She just wanted to put on a front to gain the Wilson family’s approval.
As for blocking Ms. Shellie, it was likely because she was worried she’d seduce Marcas,
So. Gemma had given her Margaret’s mumber, hoping she would go straight to the source
Ms. Shellie seemed to be hoping for more, better if Gemma could send the kid herself over, “Bur_”
“There’s no bat,” Gemma cut in. “If I could decide everything, I wouldn’t be divorced.”
Ma. Shelle immediately fell silent.
As a woman herself.
She could imagine how Gemima must feel.
If her own husband had kept a mistress in public, even refusing to acknowledge his wife’s starus, and if her child had even played a role in supporting
him-
Well she could understand the devastation
For Gemma to stay calm and handle things so smoothly was already impressive.
Shellie wrote down the number.
As Gemma turned to leave, Ms. Shellie spoke again. “Thank you.”
“Ms. Kelestine, you’ll be fine. That bastard will regret everything”
Gemma paused and glanced back.
“Ms. Shellie, think bigger. He’s already a jerk. Why do you care if he regrets it? Can his regret brings me money?”
Ms. Shellie’s eyes widened, realizing her mistake.
She gave Gemma a thumbs–up.
“Ma. Kelestine, you really are something.”
Only someone with a strong core would be able to not rely on anyone else.
Gemma got in the car, and Cassius drove her to the hospital,
She wasn’t in a great mood, staring blankly out of the window.
Cassius didn’t speak
The air in the car was thick with silence.
Eventually, they stopped in front of the hospital.
Gemma noticed the hustle and bustle outside and snapped back to reality.
“Thanks for the ride. See you tonight.”
Her imide was a little forced
Cassius nodded, his face serious. “See you tonight.”
She hurried into the hospital.

After the shift change, she checked on patieurs, squidated prescription, wrote up reports, and barely had time to think about Aljah.
By the time she lipished, it was already lunchtine.
Brian was waiting for her to go to the cafeteria.
Over lunch they debated the pairs in her thesis. Their conversation was intense, sharp as they went back and forth.
To keep up with the debate, she ate an extra half bowl of food.
During the break, as the lay on her bed, she thought again about Alijali.
She froze
In the past, no matter what was happening. Marcus and Alijah were always her priorities.
She would have sacrificed career opportunities to take care of them both.
But today, she wasn’t as anxious as she had imagined.
She realized, this world kept turning even without them..
In fact, it might even be better off.
And
Even if Alijah wasn’t attending school, he was still receiving top–tier education.
He was her flesh and blood, but he was also an independent individual.
So, he had the right to choose the life he wanted.
If she interfered, it might make things worse.
She placed a hand over her heart.
She felt the steady beat of her pulse,
For the first time, she truly felt like an independem person.
She wasn’t “Mrs. Wilson” or “All’s mom” anymore.
She was Ms. Kelestine, Dr. Kelestine.
She closed her eyes gently.
Indeed, sometimes you have to learn to let go of yourself
–
That evening.
When she returned home, she saw Cassius’s car parked downstairs.
Rich. She had to go to the auction tonight.
She instantly perked up
The Artemis File!
Her dream collection
“Gemma, come here! Do you like this!”
As soon as she opened the door, Noah came running over, wearing a tiger mask.
The little guy was trying to look fierce
But his chubby little hands reached out with a cute, innocent expression.
Gemma laughed, her mood instantly lifted.
“Why the mask all of a sudden?”
She reached up and took off the tiger mask, revealing Noah’s determined face beneath.
Once the mask came off
It was like a monkey without its magic staff.
His lile face drooped.
“Gemma, you are getting bad.”
Gemma laughed even harder. “Sorry, little tiger. Let’s try again.”
“No, I don’t want the tiger. Uncle Cassius made some other ones. You choose, Gemma
Children’s moods shifted quickly.
Before she knew it, he had grabbed her hand and was pulling her inside.
Cassius, who was usually so busy, was now relaxing on the couch. One hand held a mask, the other a piece of orange cardstock
His eyes were sharp, measuring out a perfect circle.
Chapter 114: Sorry. I Took the Script of “Beautiful Alone”
On the table, there were several animal masks:
Fox, cheetah, lon
They were all beautifully painted, lifelike.
Gen
couldn’t help but feel a new appreciation for Cassius,
She had shenys assumed that someone like him would only use his lands for signing papers.
But here he was crafting something delicate.
“These are amazing.”
She couldn’t take her eyes off the masks.
They were so detailed-
The fox mask, for example, had whiskers that looked so real.
“Which one do you like?” Cassius asked casually, not even looking up. “Pick style, then you can paint it.”
He gestured toward the paints beneath the table.
Gemma pointed to herself. “You mean, I can choose!”
Cusion raised an eyebrow. “Who else?”
Gemma besitated.
She thought these were for Noah.
Could she, a thirty–year–old, really be included:
She hesitated. Words stuck in her throat
Growing up, anything good in her house was always for her younger brother
If she touched anything, she’d get a beating.
So, beautiful things? She never dared to touch or ask for them.
Those would make her receive more slaps and punches,
