“It’s… it’s nothing.“[

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

Exactly like the one Marcus had bought.

“I saw her coming out of the room.”

“Marcus, I must’ve been asleep.“[]
“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. []

Marcus’s lips parted, but no sound came out. [].
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 me lying on the ground, crying, holding my belly. [
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?” |

“So maybe just sit tight and wait.”
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

Too bad.
None of it matters to me anymore. [
Back home, Marcus burst through the door.
“Olivia! Olivia!” [
“I messed up, okay? I’m sorry!“[]
“I got the christening charm you wanted, I went and got it the means
