When Camila Looked at her son, a warm feeling spread in her heart. She stretched her hands to the baby and said, “Glenda, please let me hug him."

Glenda nodded and put Joe on the bed.

When Camila saw this, her brows furrowed a bit.

“Glenda, I want to hold him in my arms," she clarified.

Even though Glenda understood where Camila was coming from, she ignored her request and tried to change the topic instead.

“What do you want to eat? I'LL get it for you."

Camila looked away and refused to eat anything. She had no appetite to eat.

“The doctor said that you're weak. You better eat some food. Even if you don't want to do it for yourself, you have to do it for Joe. Do you think you have the strength to hold him now?" Glenda urged, trying her best to persuade Camila.

After a while, Camila let out a defeated sigh. "Okay."

“Good. Just rest there."

After saying that, Glenda walked out of the room and closed the door. "Mommy..." Joe uttered, resting his head on Camila's arm and scratching her hair and clothes.

It was getting cold.

He was wearing a pair of suspenders, which Camila had bought for him not long ago.

She had also bought him some autumn clothes.

Without a doubt, he Looked adorable in this outfit.

“Mommy... Mommy..."

Joe's soft coos melted Camila's heart. However, this was the only word that he knew how to speak. He still didn't know how to call his father, nor did he know any other words.

She leaned on her side and held him.

As she did, she gently stroked his cheek

Joe wasn't crying. He just kept squirming, his short legs flailing in the air.

Just holding Joe made Camila realize how weak she truly was. Since Glenda wasn't here, she called Rowena for help instead.

“Are you sick?" Rowena said through the phone, her voice laced with worry after she Learned about her daughter's condition.

Camila shook her head.

“No. I think I'm just tired from working too much recently. I'm not feeling well, so I can't help Glenda take care of Joe. I'm afraid she can't do it alone."

“Which hospital are you in?" Rowena asked.
