I watched as he sat stoically on the opposite side of the car, his face an impassive mask, seemingly unaffected by his mother’s distressing episode at the sanatorium.

My curiosity was usually contained, but Jessica was an exception.

In my middle school days, fraught with confusion and helplessness, watching Jessica on TV,learning about her success story,she had come from nothing and made a name for herself, that had encouraged me to pursue my dreams.

Sitting up straight, I asserted, “Mr. King, as your lawful wife, I have a right to understand the situation with my mother–in–law.”

Marcelo turned towards me, noting my serious tone. He rolled down the window, letting in a gust of wind.

“Renee, remember, curiosity kills the cat.”

“Fine,” I muttered, my voice low. “But remember, your mother told you not to pick on me. I might just tell her about this next time.”

“Go ahead,” he said suddenly.

“What?“I was taken aback, not following his train of thought.

Marcelo, maintaining his aloof demeanor, acted as though he hadn’t spoken.

Ignoring his sullen expression, I pressed on with my question. “She looked fine at the family meeting the other day.I thought she stays at the family house.”

Now I could understand why Jessica was quiet no matter how heated the argument got.

“I had only managed to get her out of that house few days ago.She’s safer in the sanatorium. And like I told you before.She’s not fine.She’s unstable.“Marcelo replied, resting his chin on his hand and looking at me with a relaxed gaze.

“Why don’t you bring your mother home with us? We could take care of her.“I probed, my voice soft yet firm. It was clear that Marcelo, though distant, held a certain respect for Jessica.

Surely, for Jessica living with her son would be preferable to being confined in a sanatorium.

Suddenly, Marcelo reached out, his hand grasping my chin, examining me as if he was suddenly interested in me.

I met his gaze with a mixture of surprise and calm, waiting for what he would do next.

Renee’s eyes, though clear and bright, bore no trace of the same innocence that my mother’s eyes held even during her lucid episodes.

I was taken aback by Renee’s unwavering integrity and unique nature. How had the Hudson family raised such an intriguing individual?
