The Wrong Woman

Later, Mila excitedly told the Morrisons the good news. They all eagerly offered to join her at the hospital tomorrow to bring the child home, except for Layla, who dismissed it with a scoff. Yet, Mila politely rejected their offers, mindful of her child's health. She explained that having many people together could heighten the risk of exposing the child to viruses and bacteria. Mila was looking forward to picking up her son as soon as possible tomorrow.

With the weather warming up, fresh shoots were beginning to emerge from the greenery. Nearby, several gardeners stood, holding their tools and pointing toward a dense cluster of lush greenery. Intrigued, Mila strolled over. As she drew closer, she noticed that the lush area was filled with budding white zinnias, ready to burst bloom.

"Let's begin from this end," suggested one of the gardeners, Edward Redmayne. "We'll remove all the zinnias, turn the soil, and add organic fertilizer. The tulips have to be planted neatly."

"Excuse me, why are we removing these white zinnias just as they're about to bloom?" Mila asked.

Mila furrowed her brow, surprised that Nathan, with his hectic schedule, was involved in the garden's management.

"But why does he want to uproot these flowers?" Mila asked.

"Oh, isn't it because you're fond of tulips? Earlier this year, General Morrison had me and others
