"Daddy..." James' voice was hoarse from the fever, "Are you my real daddy?" Huh? Francis paused for a second, then quickly understood what James meant. He nodded affirmatively, "Yes, daddy is your real daddy, your very own." Hearing this, James' lips quivered, and tears started falling.
He was young, but not naive. He understood what that meant.
Sobbing, he asked, "Then, daddy, where's my mommy?" Pausing, he added, "Not the auntie, I mean, my real mommy, the one who gave birth to me?" || Francis was at a loss for words... How should he answer? He knew where his mom was, but their relationship wasn't exactly straightforward...

Francis massaged his temples, then tucked James in properly. "Mmm..." Little James murmured, "Mommy, mommy..." Francis paused, his hand mid-air. James really did want his mommy.

"Sherilyn." "Hmm?" "Has Mr. Gilbert contacted you again?" "..." Sherilyn paused for a moment, then shared half of the orange with her, "No." Rebecca took the orange, sighing inwardly. Was this situation good or bad for Sherilyn? "He should be back from London by now, right?" "Not sure, probably."
