Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 384

"Let me see Mia. I'm begging you." Zayn's voice was heavy with sorrow, and his eyes were red. He looked utterly heartbroken.

"Wait here. I'll go ask Mia." Angela sounded a bit impatient, but she didn't outright refuse.

She went upstairs and found Mia using a breast pump, though she didn't look too well.

Ever since Angela had taken Leo away, Mia had insisted on pumping milk for him, saying that no matter what, she wanted her child to have her milk.

As soon as Mia saw Angela, she sighed. "I don't know why, but I'm not producing enough milk. I guess I have to feed Leo formula, and I feel terrible about it."

Angela was surprised. "Why would you feel bad just because you can't breastfeed? Does formula cause malnutrition or something?"

She really couldn't understand how a woman who was once so refined and happy before childbirth could suddenly turn into a devoted mother, selflessly sacrificing herself and even losing her own identity.

Maybe this was the greatness of maternal love. But even so, Angela couldn't agree with it. She firmly believed that motherhood meant just another role, not a burden that should restrain a woman.
