He was waiting for his wife to finish dressing up and come down to the hall together.Because it would be the talk of the women pre

"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

Amelie greeted the morning with a smile. Unlike the past days, where her face was always gloomy if the sun began to rise from its hiding place.Her tiny lips continued to hum as she got ready to go to work."Hurry home when your work is done. I will always miss my handsome great-grandson." Marie said as she pecked the cheek of her great-grandson, who was in Amelie's arms."Grandma, don't worry, I'll be home as soon as the shop closes." Amelie said it with a smile. This morning, she was so happy to be able to bring Axel to work and see her baby whenever she felt homesick."Call home if he cries, then I'll come right over," Louise said in a serious tone with one hand clenched in the air, as if the old man could run as fast as a horse.Marie sighed and rolled her eyes, having heard her husband's words, which she thought were too much. How could Louise catch up with Amelie by running? While just walking to the bathroom alone, it took the man ten minutes to get there."Okay, Grandpa. You c

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

Elena walked back and forth in the room. Her right hand massaged her temple, while her left hand held her waist. She was upset, hearing the news that Theresia's health condition was getting better, right on day seven.The ringing of the phone on the bed caught her attention. She walked over and grabbed the flat object with increasing agitation after reading the name of the caller on her cell phone screen."Hello?" She greeted the person on the other end in a soft voice."Elena? Where are you? Don't you want to accompany Mom here?" asked a middle-aged woman on the other side of the line.Elena's eyes closed as she clucked silently. The woman's right hand massaged tighter on her temple. Even the woman who caused Elena's agitation could speak properly, even calling her this morning."Elena?" called Theresia when there was no answer on the other line."I-yes, ma'am?" replied Elena with a gasp."Haah, you're not even listening to me speak." came the chuckle from the woman on the other side

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

Theresia's health is gradually recovering. The middle-aged woman was looking forward to going home to a house full of luxurious furniture worth millions of dollars. Being cooped up in the treatment room was very boring. A man in a white coat entered the treatment room, accompanied by a nurse pushing a trolley filled with medical equipment."Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen," greeted the doctor kindly.Theresia and Edmund smiled back at the doctor's friendliness, then almost simultaneously they replied, "Good afternoon, Doctor."The doctor opened the pages of a book in his hand, which presumably contained a record of Theresia's health conditions during her sixteen days in the hospital."How is it, ma'am? Are there any complaints?" the doctor asked without taking his eyes off the notebook he was holding.Theresia enthusiastically replied, "Not at all, Doctor. I am very well now."Edmund smiled at the joyful look on his wife's face. He then took her by the shoulders; the two looked
