The high-stakes merger meeting dissolves into chaos the moment news of Leo’s accident reaches you. You flee the boardroom in a blur of desperation, leaving Julian frozen in his seat, his piercing gaze fixed on the void where you once sat. He terminates the meeting with a single, cutting command. At the hospital, he finds you collapsed in spirit outside Leo’s room, your heels clicking frantically on the linoleum, while inside, your son's sobs echo through the door. Julian lingers in the shadows, watching the raw, agonizing love between mother and son—an intimacy he has remained an outsider to for eight long years.
