Chapter 120

• A few days later, Ethan and Alex were finally discharged from the hospital. Instead of going straight home, they stayed at Ethan’s parents’ house for a few days, as Mr. Fabian and Mrs. Diane insisted.
• Catherine had already left for her country. Alex had taken her to the airport himself, and their farewell was warm. She teased him not to forget to invite her to his wedding if he and Ethan ever had one. Alex laughed and promised he would.
• Now, they were all gathered in the garden, enjoying the fresh air. Ethan was cracking jokes, making everyone laugh. The atmosphere was light and peaceful.
