---- remained silent, staring at me nervously. I turned my head away and tried to sit up. "Don't move. You just had surgery," he said before firmly pressing me back onto the bed. "I'm asking you, where's the baby? What happened? Why does my head hurt so much?" My persistent questioning made Quinton's eyes flash with surprise. After a long silence, he slowly spoke. " The child... didn't make it because of an accident. You're still weak, so don't think too much." His excuse was too flimsy, and his emotions were too composed. Anyone could tell he was hiding something. But when I pressed him further, he refused to say another word. What really happened? Why was Quinton hiding the truth from me? Ever since the fall from the cliff, my memories had always been in fragments and hazy. But I never ---- thought much of it-after all, what I forgot must not have been important. But this time, it felt like a nail was lodged in my heart. It was urging me to recall my memories. Suddenly, Quinton's phone rang. He glanced at me before answering as he walked out. "Quint, what do we do? The baby's breathing is still unstable, and even the doctors can't help!" Quinton frowned, sounding slightly impatient as he said, ''Preemies are prone to respiratory distress syndrome. How could they not handle it?" "T don't know! What if he suddenly dies? Without the baby, Lester can't inherit the Whites' family business! " The voice on the other end sounded sharp and spoke rapidly. "Preemie", Lester", "inherit''-as I heard these familiar yet foreign words, they seemed to turn into electric shocks that ran through my brain. It constantly stimulated my nerves. ---- I didn't know how much time had passed before Quinton suddenly turned around. "Honey, I have something to take care of. I'll be back later," he said. "Okay."
