Upon seeing that Josie was unharmed, Laura felt relieved. As she was about to leave, Josie suddenly called out to her, “Wait.”

“What is it?”

Josie narrowed her eyes, and to her surprise, she saw a striking red mark on the fair nape of Laura’s neck, which was now turning into a bruise. She touched it lightly and asked, “What is this? Did Zach hit you again?”

Almost reflexively, Laura covered her neck and said, “No. I accidentally bumped into something.”

Josie raised an eyebrow. “It’s not easy to bump into something here, right?” She was still worried. “Don’t be afraid. Tell me, who hit you?”

Laura was clearly flustered. She held Josie’s hand. “No, really, I just bumped into something.”

Josie locked eyes with her, attempting to discern something amiss, yet all she found in her gaze was tranquility and composure.

She withdrew her hand. “If there’s anything, you must tell me.”

Laura smiled in relief. “Being a mother is not easy, huh? When will I get to meet the child? I should present the child with a gift.”
