Chapter 180
Leo snapped back to reality and chuckled as he saw Mirabella striding ahead
with his suitcase. “Thanks, Mirabella, but I could've handled it myself.”
Mirabella didn't reply and just continued on, pulling his luggage determinedly.
Sensing her insistence, Leo eventually gave up trying to help.
Zach, who had been entirely overlooked behind them, now stood with hands on
hips, watching the two disappear into the distance. He glanced at his own
suitcase by his feet and felt utterly neglected.
Wasn't he also family? Didn't he have luggage too?!
Zach stood there for what felt like an eternity. As the figures of his siblings faded,
neither of them looked back to notice him being left behind. Finally, he huffed and
dragged his suitcase toward the apartment complex alone.
Ungrateful siblings!
Delilah and Shawn only knew about Leo and Zach's return through Mirabella, so
they stayed home waiting.
As the front door opened, Delilah reached out to help with the luggage and
asked, “Leo, your must be exhausted, huh?”
Leo shook his head and nodded a greeting. “Hey, Dad. Mom.”
“Haven't eaten yet? I saved you and your sister some dinner,” Delilah offered
with concern.
Just reaching the doorway, Zach thought, “You and your sister?” Was he
invisible?
After a night of repeated blows to his ego, Zach began to question his very
presence in the family. Fortunately, he wasn’t entirely neglected. Shawn chimed
in, “Zach, why are your zoning out in the doorway?” He gave Zach a puzzled look
that clearly questioned his mental sharpness at such a young age.
Zach just sighed internally. Maybe it was time to find a new place to call home.
Delilah was preoccupied with Leo's gaunt face, feeling a pang of maternal
heartache that pulled her attention away from Zach. She ushered Leo into the
living room for a closer look and said, “You look pale. You haven't been resting
properly, have you?”
She had been worried since his last visit, and after discussing it with Collins, who
assured her there was nothing to worry about, Delilah hadn't probed further.
Leo's eyes drooped slightly as he replied, “It's just jet lag. I'll be fine tomorrow.”
Mirabella, who had been observing quietly, remembered checking Leo’s pulse
earlier, and her expression tightened slightly. Her brother might've been
physically weakened, but there was

something else in his pulse that troubled her.
After a moment, Mirabella excused herself, “I'm heading to my room. Still got
some
homework to finish.”
“Oh, okay,” Delilah nodded but quickly added, “Did you have dinner yet,
sweetheart?”
Mirabella affirmed with a nod, “I did.” With that, she gave a slight bow and
headed upstairs.
