“It’s… it’s nothing.“[

“Show. Me.”
He was shaking.
A storm was brewing in his eyes. [
Emma panicked. [
She stood up, inching backward.

“I saw her coming out of the room.”

“I didn’t know she came by.“[]”

“Nurse,” he said suddenly, “how… how did my wife lose the baby?”
Sarah looked at the head nurse, then replied cautiously. []

He remembered.
Eleven days ago…
That was the day I came to see him.
Emma had thrown a tantrum, got clipped by a bicycle.
In a panic, Marcus had shoved me out of the way.

He remembered what he’d said to me.
Olivia, you know Emma has depression.”
“Why would you provoke her?”
“If something happens to her, I’ll never forgive you.” [
“Let this be a lesson. Stay away from her.”
Yeah.
That lesson…
It cost our baby.

“You hurt someone and now you wanna run off without even saying sorry or paying up?” |

At the word cops, a flicker of panic flashed across Emma’s face. []
She immediately started yelling. []
“Marcus! Marcus!”
God, what a familiar scene. 0
