Chapter 251

"What new baby?" Jeannie asked patiently, her voice gentle.

"My grandma told me not to tell anyone..."

Irwin was still terrified. Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was his mother, writhing in pain and covered in blood.

If that magic stone was the reason Mom ended up like that, he'd rather never have seen it at all.

"Ms. Radcliffe, what should I do?" Irwin's voice trembled with anxiety. "I think I hurt my mom. I think I made a big mistake..."

"My mom... she's going to have a new baby. But she hasn't told Dad."

Jeannie's eyes widened in surprise. "But isn't your mom in the middle of a divorce with your dad?"

"That's just because she's mad. She said it because she was upset, but Dad would never really leave her." Irwin's tone was firm, almost stubborn. "When Mom's not angry anymore, she'll come home. Then it'll be me and Mom like before."
