"Ma'am, your attention is needed in the guest room."

Theresa lifted her head from her laptop and looked at the maid who had spoken.

"What happened? Why so jittery?" Aria asked, crossing her legs as she turned to the maid. She had been battling a sudden stomach ache and couldn't work the way she had planned.

Theresa had made her some hot tea and kept her company in the living room.

The maid shifted nervously on her feet, worry etched on her face. "The... newborn, ma'am. The mother needs help."

"Cheryl?" Theresa gasped, jumping to her feet. "Where is she?" she asked, her doctor's instinct kicking in.

"The guest room, ma'am."

"Go to my room. You'll see a blue bag by the bedside, bring it to me."

"Yes, ma'am," the maid said and ran out.

Aria sprang to her feet. "Should I come with you?"

"Don't worry, I've got this," Theresa replied and hurried out.

She raced to the guest room, her heart pounding. She was a skilled doctor, but no matter how many patients she treated or the number of surgeries she performed, she never got used to the anxiety of the unknown.

As she pushed the door open, her stomach tightened as she was another maid standing by Cheryl's bed. Cheryl herself was crying, her eyes red and swollen, as she held her baby.

When she saw Theresa, she immediately got out of bed. "Help me please."

Theresa took the baby and observed him. His cry was faint like he didn't have strength. When she saw the yellow tint around his eyes, she immediately knew what it was.

Still, she did further examination. She laid the baby on the bed and gently pressed his chest to assess his skin tone.

His skin briefly went pale before it returned to a yellow hue. And that confirmed what she thought.

She turned to the maid and kept her voice as calmly as she could. "Call 911."

The maid nodded and rushed out of the room.

Cheryl went berserk. "What's wrong with him? Is he okay?"

Theresa rocked the baby gently, speaking in the soothing tone she had perfected over the years. "Calm down. It's just jaundice."

"Jaundice?" Cheryl's voice cracked.

"It happens to newborns," Theresa explained gently. "If you had stayed in the hospital, the doctors would have treated it early."

A gush of silent tears streamed down Cheryl's face, and for a brief moment, Theresa felt pity for her.

Cheryl stroked her baby's golden hair as Theresa rocked the baby gently.

"Would he... be okay?"

"Yes," Theresa said quickly. There was no point frightening her that if they waited longer, it could have damaged the baby's

brain.

"Ah, thank God," Cheryl exhaled, slumping into the bed, but she was still crying. "I know you think I'm stupid for this."

Oh, she was definitely stupid, but Theresa didn't say it, she just continued rocking the baby.

After a pause, Cheryl spoke again. "I know it's weird of me to come here, to the same woman I once destroyed her life," she chuckled wistfully. "Maybe that's why this is happening."

"It's happening because you brought him here," Theresa snapped. "You should be grateful Ivy let you into her house, no woman would do that."

Not even her.

Her thoughts drifted to Rita and her son and annoyance flared in her chest. She would never be as strong as Ivy, there was way in hell she was going to see Wills' child, let alone bring him to her space.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," Cheryl said, wiping her cheeks as it turned red.

"You shouldn't have," Theresa said firmly.

The door opened, saving both of them from more awkward conversation.

"The ambulance is here," the maid said.

Cheryl quickly got to her feet and opened the door wider for her and the baby. Theresa walked faster but didn't run and quickly got to the living room.

The paramedic took the baby without a word.

"Go with them and let us know how it goes," she told Cheryl

She might not like Cheryl, but she genuinely cared for the baby.

"Alright. Thank you," Cheryl said and followed the paramedics out.

Theresa stepped out too but stopped at the porch. She watched the ambulance until it left the gate before she went back inside.

"What was that?" Monica asked, rushing into the living room.

Aria joined them and Theresa spoke and filled them in on the situation with Cheryl's baby.

While she was explaining. Theresa noticed the young woman beside Monica.

"Bailey?" she asked, instantly recognizing her immediately by the big scar on her forehead.

"Resa," Bailey smiled, moving closer.

"Oh my, it's really you," Aria said. "You look good."

"She came to see me," Monica said, excitement coloring her tone.

"It's so nice to see you," Theresa said.

"It's been ages, "Aria added. "Like what? Ten years?"
