He knew Rayna was already back at the homestay, though she was not in the best of health. He would like to see her, but an explanation would be a pain, so instead Curtis made a trip to the hospital instead.

He asked the nurse for Vivi’s room and paid her a visit, bringing presents with him. Even before he got to her ward, the sounds of her cries could be heard ringing through the air. A pang of guilt filled his heart.

He came to the ward’s doorstep and saw Vivi crying in her husband’s arms. “No, tell me that’s not true. The babies… I have been carrying them for months. S-So why are they gone now?”

Her husband tried to comfort her, but it had little effect. Vivi only cried harder. “Our babies, darling… Our babies are gone!” It was a truth unacceptable to her and she was on the verge of collapsing.

Curtis waited for nearly ten minutes before he eventually knocked on the door and entered the room.

Vivi remained in her husband’s embrace, crying her broken heart out. She did not seem to realize they had a guest, and nor did her husband as he was busy comforting his wife.

Curtis placed the presents on a cabinet and stood around, watching the couple. If none of this had happened, she would’ve given birth to a pair of beautiful twins just a few months down the line. They would’ve been a happy family.

Curtis lowered his head, apologizing sincerely, “That stew was meant for Rayna. I had no idea she’d give it to you. There was something in it. Good for most people but not for pregnant women. It was… It was something that could cause a miscarriage. I am very, very sorry about your children.”

Vivi raised her head immediately, staring at Curtis in wide-eyed shock. “That was meant for Ms. Garland?”

“Yes.” Curtis stared at the ground. “I asked the chef to make it for her. Worried she might’ve skipped her meal.”

“You give my children back! Give them back!” Vivi shrieked hysterically. She shoved her husband away and leaped out of bed. “You killed my children!” She pounced at him like a tigress, clawing away at him.

Unlike how he stopped Claire in the morning, Curtis let Vivi hit away at him. He was driven by guilt.
