The awkward silence circling in the room became uncomfortable as everyone watched Carmen cry her eyes out.Then Dr. Rebecca frowned at everyone else and said, “Let's give the mother and her baby some privacy.”Everyone hesitated for a moment, then Mr. Wilson and Mr. Smith walked the room. Afterward, Mrs. Smith came out, followed by Dr. Rebecca and her team.“Doc, I'm sure you love your job, right?” Mr. Smith mumbled, glaring at Rebecca.“I'm a doctor, not a reporter, so you don't have to threaten me, Mr. Smith. I know how to keep my mouth out of things that don't concern me, so does my team. Right, guys?” Rebecca with a brave face, yet there was a hint of fear in her voice.“Yes, doc.” Her team said in unison.Although Mr. Smith still felt a bit uneasy about people knowing that the child belongs to Liam and not Dax, he knew from the fear in their eyes that they were going to keep their lips sea

After driving for a while, Carmen slowed her car down in front of "Bloom ice cream shop."“Where are you going, mom?” Ethan mumbled, staring away from the car window and gazing at her. “Getting you the ice cream that I promise,” Carmen said, stepping on the break.“I don't want one.” “Why, sweetheart?”A look of sadness crossed Ethan’s face. Then he stared away from Carmen and gazed at his fingers, picking in his nails.“I ate all my food not because of the ice cream, but I didn't want you and father arguing because of me. I don't like seeing you guys fight.” Ethan whispered.Disappointment was the only emotion Carmen felt for herself as she stared at her son. Then she slowly caressed her fingers through his hair and lifted his chin.“Honey, mommy is so, so sorry. Your father and I didn't mean to make you think or feel that way. How about I get

Early the next morning, when Carmen came downstairs for breakfast, she saw that Ethan and Dax were already at the table.   So she walked over to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.   “Morning, mommy. Ethan said as she smiled at her.   "Morning son,” Carmen said as she stared at him and smiled.    Then she turned to Dax, but he kept his eyes focus on the food, but she still smiled at him and said, “Good morning,”   Although there was tension between them, when Dax lifted his head and saw Ethan staring at him, he gazed at Carmen and mumbled, “Morning.”   A few minutes after breakfast was over, Carmen was about to stand from her seat when Dax finally looked at her and said, “The driver will take Ethan to school. I will drive you to work.”    “But…” Carmen mumbled, pausing for a second as she stared at Ethan.  

After Carmen and Ethan had gotten into her car, she drove out of the yard and onto the road. Ten minutes into the drive, she stared into the V-mirror and saw Ethan tightly holding his stomach. “What's wrong, honey?” Carmen asked, looking back for a second before focusing on the road. “Nothing, mommy,” Ethan mumbled as he quickly let go of his stomach. But at that moment, his stomach grumbled, and Carmen couldn't help but giggle. Then she smiled and asked, “Do you want us to stop at a restaurant and grab something to eat.” “Ummm…” Ethan mumbled, staring down at his shoe. “Are you okay?” “Are you?” “What?” After a brief moment of hesitation, Ethan looked into the mirror and mumbled, “Why were you crying, mommy?” “I was just sad. But I'm fine now.” Carmen said, feeling a sense of guilt consuming her. “Why were you sad?” “It's because…” For a split second, Carmen wanted to tel

When Carmen arrived at the Blue lake hotel, she brought her car to a stop, got down, and headed inside. After she arrived in the lobby, she gazed at the lady behind the desk and asked, “Is Mr. Davis here?” “Yes,” The lady said with a friendly smile. “Can you call him and tell him that I'm here." “Sure, name?” “Carmen Smith,” Smiling faintly, the lady picked up the phone. But at that moment, Carmen turned around and saw Liam walking into the lobby with Lorna. At that moment, Carmen locked eyes with him, and she froze. “Isn't that your ex-wife?” Lorna asked when she noticed Carmen. “Yes,” Liam mumbled. “Ok-ay, I'm gonna leave now.” “Mmm.”
