NovelEnglishChapter 1203
Hannah handed her the storybook, pointing at the illustration. "Here it is, the blue sun. | think the little girl did a
beautiful job."
Yvonne repeated softly, "The blue sun, it's beautiful."
She kept repeating the words until she drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Hannah woke up and, not seeing Yvonne, started to search for her. She finally found her in a
corner of the courtyard, drawing on the ground with a stick.
The drawing was abstract and hard to interpret, but Hannah didn't interrupt her. Instead, she quietly informed
Pharaoh and arranged for sart supplies to be brought over.
She figured that since Yvonne used to be an artist, reconnecting with something she once loved could help her
heal.
Days passed, and Yvonne becengrossed in painting. The walls of her room on the second floor were soon
covered with her drawings. Hannah had them framed and displayed throughout the other rooms on the second
floor.

Back in Birkham, Nina heard about Yvonne's progress and felt both relieved and guilty. She regretted not taking
Yvonne away sooner. Maybe then she wouldn't have suffered so much.
With that thought, Nina decided to send sart magazines to Pharaoh's estate. When her housekeeper
reminded her that it was almost Orion's birthday and asked if they should plan a party at home, she realized she
had completely forgotten.
She felt another wave of guilt. What had she been so preoccupied with lately? She hadn't been there for her
friend or her son.
Noticing Nina's low spirits, the housekeeper tried to comfort her. "Ma'am, you shouldn't blyourself. Some
things are just fate. You're only doing what you were meant to do."
Nina gave a faint smile. "You're not very good at comforting people, but thank you. I do feel a little better. Oh,
and when you pick Orion up from school, ask him if he wants to invite any of his classmates, so | can prepare the
invitations. And please pick up scards on your way back."
This would be the first tcelebrating Orion's birthday here, and Nina wanted everything to be perfect. At the
stime, she was worried that things wouldn't go as planned.
She realized she was overthinking
more than she used to. Stroking her
belly, she whispered, "Sweetheart, do you think Mommy is being too
anxious? Is this a bad sign?
Acknowledging her concerns, Nina knew she needed to stay positive and not let herself get overwhelmed by
negative thoughts.
The day of Orion's birthday party, his
entire class showed up. The pile of presents from classmates alone was massive, not to mention the gifts from
Nash's friends and business associates.
Orion was thrilled, dragging his closest friends over to inspect the gifts. He wanted to tear them all open right
away, but Nina had insisted they wait.
One little girl pointed to a small, elegant box on top of the pile. "I want to see that one. It looks so fancy, really
pretty."
Without hesitation, Orion asked the housekeeper to bring it down.

The box was incredibly light, almost as if it were empty.
The little girl shook it, puzzled. "It's so light. Could it be filled with air?"
Her comment made a couple of other kids giggle. "Orion, you got tricked! Someone gave you a box of air, and
you're still so happy."
Orion's face turned red as he grabbed the box. "I don't believe it's just air. There has to be something special
inside."
The other kids egged him on to open it, with one boy even betting his collection of gold star stickers that it was
just an empty box.
If the box turned out to have something inside, he promised to give all his stickers to Orion.
Orion did a quick mental calculation.
With those extra gold stars, he
would have enough to earn a special certificate, which he could then use to write a message for his soon-to-be-
born sister.
