Once Nina entered, she closed the door. “Doctor, I need to know what’s wrong with my father. What exactly is he suffering from?”The doctor could see the worry in Nina’s eyes but maintained his stance. He had promised the patient confidentiality. “I’m afraid that’s private information. I really can’t disclose it. I suggest speaking directly with your father.””But he’s my father, and I can tell he’s seriously ill. Don’t family members have the right to know in cases like this?” Nina had, of course, already asked Pharaoh directly. Asking him had gotten her nowhere. It was clear he was determined to keep this to himself. Other than speaking to the doctor, she was out of options.Yet even the doctor wouldn’t budge. “Family members do have the right to know, but the patient’s wishes take priority. I would still recommend discussing this with him directly.”Nina understood that pressing further wouldn’t help. “Alright. Thank you anyway.” She returned to the room, giving Orion his burger and handing out two vegan meals, one for herself and the other for Pharaoh.As they ate, Pharaoh looked thoughtful. “Nina, if you’re busy this week, why not leave Gemma with me? The nanny can come too, and I’ll help out. It’ll give us some quality time together, and when Orion’s out of school, you can all come by for dinner.” This, he thought, was the life he had always wanted.Nina agreed, but as she looked at the few extra strands of gray in his hair, a feeling settled over her that maybe their visits together would not last forever.After dinner, they played for a while, and then Nina gathered the kids. “We’ll head home for today. We’ll see you again soon,” she said, smiling.”Alright. Take your time going home, and please text me when you arrive.” Pharaoh watched them leave, keeping his gaze on the door long after they had disappeared down the hall.The room that had felt so warm andlively just hours before now felt empty. He sat quietly for a while before calling Micah over video. Micah had just finished work and was at home with Freya, both radiating happiness. Together, they greeted him warmly. “It looks like life’s been treating you two well,” Pharaoh said with satisfaction. He could see it in their faces. Happiness like that could not be faked. Micah and Freya were happy, as were Nina and Nash, and that gave him some peace of mind.

Determined to understand Pharaoh’s condition, she knew she would need to find another way to get the truth since the doctor wouldn’t say a word. She couldn’t ignore what was clearly happening. When Nash returned, he didn’t go straight to the kids as he usually did. Instead, he led her to their bedroom and locked the door, his expression serious. Seeing him like this, Nina guessed immediately that he had something important to tell her, and her own expression grew solemn.
