The corridor was enveloped in a profound silence.

Cameron sat in his wheelchair, deep furrows creasing his forehead, as if every thought and decision required immense effort.
Suddenly, a figure in a hospital gown staggered down the hall.
The frail form, enveloped in oversized fabric, resembled a ghostly shadow, ready to collapse at any
moment.
Gary leaned against the wall, looking like a lost soul, his arms crossed, a sneer curling his lips.
“Tsk, tsk. Melody has cut ties with us for so long, and not one of you has even bothered to reach out, have you?
“She blocked all of us ages ago!
“It’s been nearly a month, and none of you even noticed…
Did you think she’d just throw a tantrum and come back? Not one of you cared enough to check on her?”
His tone dripped with biting sarcasm, the remnants of an allergic reaction still evident on his skin.
The area where he had IV fluids was oozing blood–clearly, he had yanked it out himself.
He swayed slightly, struggling to maintain his balance.
Timothy’s expression darkened as he rushed to support him.
“Gary, you just had surgery; you need to get back to your room and rest!”
Gary remained unmoved, his bloodshot eyes suddenly locking onto Christina, a mocking smile creeping across his face.
“Mom, you’ve been so busy.
I, her son, am barely holding on, yet she hasn’t even spared me a glance.
It chilled him to the core.
Christina, looking weary, sat on a nearby bench. Panic flickered in her eyes at the sight of Gary, so diminished from his former self.
She quickly rose, concern etched across her face as she approached him. “G–Gary, I didn’t mean to neglect
you.
“Suzie is also dealing with allergies; she’s in bad shape. intended to visit you as soon as she was safe…”
Gary regarded her with cold eyes.
As she stepped closer, he raised a hand, instinctively backing away. “Mrs. Shield, please stay back.

“I’m not
as lucky as Suzanna,” he added, his retreat pushing Christina to her limits.
Her already frayed nerves snapped in an instant, draining the color from her face.
“Gary… are you blaming me for being biased?

“It’s because Suzie is younger and in worse health….I just wanted to take care of her more. I didn’t neglect.
you.
Christina felt lightheaded, struggling to remain upright as exhaustion washed over her.
“Mrs. Shield, Melody and Suzanna are twins. How much older is Melody?
“But how did you treat her?
“When you were sick the year Melody returned to the Shields, it was her who stayed by your side for three. days and nights without rest. When you finally woke up, Suzanna dropped by to check on you after a long nap, and suince then, all your attention was on her. Melody pushed herself to the limit and fainted at your bedside, yet you didn’t even notice….
“And despite that, Melody cared for you with unwavering devotion, striving to be a good daughter. You love to look pretty, so she would rise at dawn to gather rose dew for your skincare…
“Ask yourself, aside from Melody, who else would put up with you like that?”
Each word landed like a blow.
Christina felt herself stiffen.
Aside from Melody, who else would put up with me like that?
Suddenly, she crouched down, clutching her head as if every ounce of strength had been sapped from her
Was I wrong?
Do I deserve to be a mother?
Why do my children regard me with such doubt and resentment?
Is it Melody’s fault for being ungrateful, or am I simply an inadequate mother?
Memories flashed through her mind–Melody’s determined eyes as she left the Shields, so cold and stripped of the warmth they once shared.
Christina’s spirit shattered entirely; every word from Cary felt like it was tearing her
apart.
She wearily closed her eyes and collapsed.
“Mom!!
“Mom has fainted! Get a doctor!!”
Gary stood there, his frail body finally giving way as he fell.

A wheelchair rolled up to him, and Cameron’s pale fingers pressed against his forehead to check his temperature. He sighed softly.
“Gary, you shouldn’t have pushed Mom like that. Melody, as a daughter, should naturally be dutiful. Suzie does her part too; you shouldn’t have generalized.”
Gary wearily met his gaze, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Cam, you’d better hold onto that thought for good!
