"Mom, hold on, Mom," Elena whined as she continued to pretend to panic. Her acting skills were impeccable, even as tears streamed down her cheeks. I don't know where those tears came from.Theresia was still lying helplessly in Jonathan and Edmund's lap. There wasn't much movement from the woman, only a tight grip on her chest and eyes that continued to bulge due to a very strong heart pumping blood.Both eyeballs rotated, but the room in the car cabin seemed to be spinning. The dizziness Theresia experienced was so intense, it felt as if a large boulder had fallen on her head.In her helplessness, Theresia cried silently. Crystal chunks melted through her eyes. The woman hated her helpless self so much.Her two eyes stared at Jonathan and Edmund as if begging for help. But her words were stuck in her throat; not a single word escaped her lips, which were polished with bright red lipstick."Can you speed this car up?" asked Edmund as he massaged his throbbing temple. This time the man

A knock on the door caught Anne and Amelie's attention. The two women then turned their heads towards the source of the sound and looked at each other with questioning eyes. Who was outside the door? Demiurge workers were used to entering the room without knocking beforehand.Without thinking, Anne approached the door with the questions that kept popping up in her head. When the door opened, the girl smiled and nodded once, just like when she was doing her work downstairs.A young man stood there and seemed to be struggling to carry something with him."Let me help you," Anne said kindly to the young man, who was a regular customer at Benitto's shop.Amelie looked puzzled at the items Gideon was carrying. It seemed a lot and very cumbersome."What's that all about?" asked Amelie, pointing at the items Gideon was carrying.Knowing that Gideon had admiration for Amelie and that the man was not a danger to her best friend, Anne decided to leave the place."Excuse me," Anne said without l

Jonathan chose to return to the office rather than linger with Theresia at the hospital. Why would he be there if Theresia was only looking at Elena? As if the man were an invisible creature.Jonathan stared out the window at the view of the city. He had missed lunch. Jonathan's appetite was wiped out by the argument that had just taken place.The image of Amelie's face flashed by, inviting Jonathan's longing for the time he had spent with the girl.The man's eyes closed, wondering to himself. How is Amelie's life out there? Was Amelie living happily without him? Or was she suffering because she was separated from her parents?For a moment, the man thought about Amelie's pregnancy. It must have been very difficult. A girl who was used to living side by side with her parents suddenly had to leave pregnant. Jonathan knew very well that Amelie had absolutely no experience carrying a baby, let alone nurturing one."I'm sorry, Amelie." Jonathan muttered regretfully with his eyes closed.Qu

Taking care of a baby is not easy for a single parent who doubles as a breadwinner.Babies are cute, but there are times when everything that drains patience is experienced by a mother. Children who are sick need so much attention for their behavior that sometimes they themselves don't realize that it is dangerous.But for Amelie, all her struggles seem to have paid off. Her little baby grew up healthy and smart. Even her speech is quite clear for a four-year-old."Mom!" exclaimed the little boy when he saw his mother's entity at the kindergarten gate.The child's face was the brightest among the throng of children running towards their parents."Axel," Amelie said cheerfully, with both hands embracing her son in a hug.The two embraced each other in happiness."Mom, let's go to the shop. I'm hungry." said Axel with his mouth pursed while his hands rubbed his stomach.Amelie smiled at her son's cute face and behavior. Then she nodded as she took Axel's hand to walk out of the school p

Elena sat beside Theresia with an uneasy feeling. Elena had nothing to do at the moment but bite her fingernails. Elena did not regret that her nails, which were already beautifully polished with red polish, were damaged by her teeth. In her heart, she continued to blame God because God had not granted Elena's request on the way to the hospital, praying that the car they were driving had an accident so that today's examination could be postponed. Or that Theresia died in the accident so that she wouldn't have to get her hands dirty to make Theresia vanish from her life. But what he wanted didn't happen at all. In contrast to Theresia, who sat with her legs crossed and two hands folded in front of her chest, she was staring straight at the tightly closed examination room door. Jonathan was conducting a series of examinations inside. One of Theresia's treading feet tapped on the floor, making a sound that made Elena's anxiety rise to the top of her head. "Are you afraid that the resu
