When Vivian got back from her date, she quickly locked herself into her room. Her heart was still beating erratically and it felt like she was chasing her breath. Her face were still flustered. She went into her bathroom and checked herself in the mirror, she cannot believe that she blushed from earlier. That man really knows how to get into her nerve. Still annoyed, Vivian took a very hot shower to relax her nerves. She pampered herself well to completely forget what had taken place that night. But everytime she tries to close her eyes, memories of Troy's soft lips flashes before her and she can feel her face blushing one more time. Vivian could not take it anymore, she needed to do something to divert her thoughts. That's when she decided to go to their gym and do some yoga exercise or something. She went out her room but stopped when she saw a maid coming out of her parents' room. The maid was carrying out a tray of untouched food. ''Mother hasn't eaten yet?'' She asked the maid. The girl gently shook her head and in sadness the maid replied 'No.' Vivian sighed then decided to go talk to her Mother. She went to the room and saw her mother sitting on the bed, staring at the emptiness of the wall in front. She noticed how pale and thin her mother had gotten. Her eyes almost bulging out of the socket. Vivian felt a flash of worry and sat beside her mother who barely took notice of her. ''Mommy. . .'' Vivian whispered but it seemed like her mother did not hear her. Or just did not acknowledge her presence. A tear escaped from her Mother's eyes and Vivian gently wiped it away. It has been weeks since her sister left them and since then, her Mother's health deteriorated. She would often decline food and just drink a small amount of water. Her father on the other hand got fed up with all the drama and decided to let her mother be. She also tried to talk to Violet but her sister is not willing to come back to their house as she is afraid on what their father can do. Vivian reached for her mother and gently hugged her. She then felt her mother's hand on her arms. Vivian's mother cried for a short while then faced her. Her mother smiled weakly at her. ''I am sorry my child for asking you to marry that boy.'' Her mother whispered. ''Violet's situation reminded me so much of my past and I am afraid that she will soon be following my footsteps.'' Vivian flashed a confuse look but her mother just smiled at her and caressed her cheek. Her mother gently nodded as tears started to stream down her eyes. ''I was so scared when I gave birth, your father could not accept my baby. But still, he gave it his name to avoid scandals.'' Vivian can see pain and regret in her mother's eyes. ''But when you came along my darling, everything changed. Your father must have forgiven me and slowly, he accepted Violet as his own. I was so happy.'' ''Mommy don't cry. . .'' ''Then again, I must have been punished for what I have done when I found out about your sister. Everything came back to me and I got scared. I was so scared for your sister that I decided to use you as the collateral.'' Vivian felt sorry for her Mother. She's hurting when she sees her mother suffering. Vivian hugged her crying mother who keeps on apologizing to her. ''I am sorry my child. Mommy is terribly sorry.'' Title: Caution! Cute Baby Alert! In "Caution!
