Summer’s face flushed, her skin feeling hot. She cursed with resentment as she walked into the living room.
Nancy was hounding Summer with questions about the words she said when she left.
Summer’s ears were red. She had no choice but to answer. Earlier, she took off her broken bra in the hospital ladies' room. She did not expect the accident i n the restaurant to happen. 1
Daisy was watching TV on the sofa. She turned her head around and beckoned to Summer when she heard footsteps. "Come over here. Let's watch this together."
Probably because of her age, Daisy seldom watched T V. But this time, he was enjoying it with great gusto.
Summer was curious and walked over. It was a reality show about a child and a father.
Most teachers in her school watched this show. She was not a big fan of it. But after watching it for a few minutes, she found it pretty interesting.
The child was standing in front of the kitchen basin and washed a basket of broccoli. Because of her height, she was kind of struggling to reach into the
basin.
After it was done, she carried the basket out of the kitchen basin. When she turned around, the basket accidentally flipped over, and the washed broccoli was scattered all over the floor. Her big round eyes looked nervous, and she called out to her dad.
"This child is a younger version of you. When you were small, you always offered to help wash the dishes and clothes, and always got yourself wet in the end." Daisy smiled as she recollected.
Summer smiled back. But she could not remember all that. Yet her mom remembered every single detail of i t.
Looking at the adorable child on the screen, Summer suddenly thought of the baby in her womb.
Her mind was in such a whirl.
She was no longer in the mood to watch the TV show. She turned around and walked into her room, all the while in a daze.
'What am I going to do?’
Her thoughts were in a complete muddle. There was n o simple answer to this question.
