Sherilyn's tears momentarily paused. Could it be because her intentions were impure? Did the baby know it was brought into this world to save its sister and thus, resisted? Even if it came into existence, it refused to stay in her womb?

"Ah..."

Sherilyn closed her eyes in pain, "My baby, my child... Mommy is so sorry... I couldn't keep you..."

Bang! The door to the hospital room burst open!

Gilbert, tall and imposing, stood at the entrance, unmovable.

"Gilbert..." Sherilyn was stunned, unable to believe her eyes. How could he be here? Wasn't he supposed to be thousands of miles away in London?

And yet, it had only been a few days?

Gilbert, with a stoic face, fixed his gaze on Sherilyn, stepping closer until he stood right in front of her.
