"Mom, I want to go to the hospital with you!" Orion shouted as he ran after Nina.

Hope instinctively tried to grab him, but Orion was running too fast, and her hand grasped at nothing but air.

At the door, Nina paused and turned around. "Orion, your dad and I are really busy right now, and we can't keep an eye on you. Please stay home. Mrs. Watson is here to take care of you.

"I'm sorry, Hope. I'm really not in the mood right now. I can't play with you," Orion shook his head.
