The Wrong Woman

"Jasper will start kindergarten after the New Year holidays. He'll stay here, and we'll need your help to take care of him while we're at the frontier," Mila explained. Florence nodded quickly. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of him."

As a new mother, Sienna felt a pang of sympathy at the thought of a child being separated from his parents. "Chubs, are you sure you don't want to keep Jasper with you? It's so heartbreaking for a child to be away from his parents for so long."

Mila sighed, resigned, "Some children are destined to bear their unique burdens from birth. I'm a scientist, and Nate is a general in national defense. Jasper's life is different from others." Sienna nodded, lips pressed together.

Mila reassured her. "We'll visit him during our breaks, and he can come to the frontier during his holidays. The actual time apart won't be as much as it seems. It's going to be alright."

Wendy chimed in, "It's good for him to stay here. There are plenty of children around, and it's always lively. There's laughter and joy every day, it's wonderful."
