Cheryl lounged on the couch while Michael scurried around, bringing her water at her request. “Mike, would you like a little brother or sister? I could make that happen,” Cheryl joked.

Michael said, “I like puppies, Aunt Cheryl. Can you give me one?”

Cheryl chuckled, asking, “Why do you want a puppy?”

“So I can play with it when Mom’s gone,” Michael explained. Cheryl’s teasing smile faded, and she patted his head softly.

In the afternoon, Teresa returned home, arms laden with bags. New Year’s Day was approaching, and she had received gifts from clients and Benny. She handed a few bags to Cheryl.

Meanwhile, Michael crouched on the floor and pointed at a box of chocolates.” Mommy, this is from Bunny!” he exclaimed.

Teresa spotted Benny’s name on the box and agreed, “Yep, those are from him.”

“Bunny? Who’s that?” Cheryl asked curiously.

“He’s a friend of mine–Donald’s too. The rich guy I told you about,” Teresa answered.‘ He’s a lawyer. His mom owns a law firm and his dad’s a high–ranking official, though I‘

m not entirely sure what kind.

“Regardless, he’s never had to worry about money.”

“Is he handsome?” Cheryl asked as she and Michael started eating chocolates.

“Yeah, he’s pretty handsome and quite wild too,” Teresa said.

Teresa chatted before heading out. The holiday season meant a flurry of gift–giving, and she had to make sure she returned the favor for the gifts she had received.

Earlier; Peter, Jonathan’s former employer, had sent a beautifully wrapped holiday package for her to the office. Teresa was pleasantly surprised by it and noted that there were more gifts than usual this year.

On her way out, her phone rang—Miriam was calling to ask if Benny had given her a gift.

“Of course, Benny never misses the chance to give gifts to his friends. He’s always so generous,” Teresa replied.

“Yeah, he also gave me a lot–over 3 thousand dollars‘ worth of chocolates! But I don’t like chocolates, so I’ll pass them to “4i–i— –id

Miriam chuckled and replied, “Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks!”

Teresa ended the call and stopped by the hospital on her way back to pick up Cheryl’s prenatal medication. Teresa’s days were always filled with tasks.

Jennifer was also on shift that day, and Teresa spotted her sipping coffee at the

counter.

When Jennifer looked up and smiled, Teresa was caught off guard. It was the first time she had seen Jennifer maskless.

Teresa found herself studying Jennifer’s face.

Jennifer smiled nervously and touched her face. “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“You look familiar,” Teresa said. “Have we met before, Dr. Nelson?”

Jennifer shook her head and replied, “No, I don’t think so. By the way, do you know someone named Donald?”

Teresa froze for a moment. ‘I do. Why’s she asking about Donald?‘

“Donald’s a junior I met during my postgraduate years. We were talking recently, and your name came up. It seems that his family doesn’t know about your child,” Jennifer

said.

Teresa panicked and immediately grabbed Jennifer’s arm. “Did you tell him?”

Sensing her panic, Jennifer assured, “No, I didn’t mention anything at all. So, are you keeping Michael a secret from your ex and his family?”

Teresa felt guilt creeping in as she explained, “I have my reasons. I only found out I was pregnant after getting divorced. I decided it was best to raise the child alone without involving my ex.”

“I’ll help you out,” Jennifer offered.

Cheryl, who was passing by to grab a drink, overheard Michael’s comment and gave both Teresa and Jennifer a careful look.

Cheryl had only ever seen Jennifer in a mask that concealed much of her face.

However, as Cheryl studied the two closely, she couldn’t help but notice their resemblance. “Actually, you two do have some similar features,” she remarked.

Teresa raised an eyebrow and looked at Jennifer, who was still making ravioli. “Do we?” she asked while running a hand over her chin.

Without looking away from her task, Jennifer said, “I think I’m not quite as pretty as Teresa.”

“Mommy’s the prettiest!” Michael bragged, shaking his head proudly before darting off to watch TV.

Cheryl stroked her chin, glanced at Teresa’s chest, and commented, “Teresa’s got a better figure.”

Holding the rolling pin above her head, Teresa threatened playfully, “Watch out, or I’ll hit you!”

Cheryl said, “I’ve always wondered–does breastfeeding make your chest sag? You’re still as curvy as ever. I’m worried my body won’t look good after giving birth!”

Jennifer responded, “That won’t happen if you breastfeed properly.” She glanced over at Teresa and asked, “Did you experience any swelling while nursing?”

Teresa turned bright red. “I don’t really remember.”

Cheryl said, “I suddenly feel Jonathan’s getting the short end of the stick. He could’ve at least pitched in.

Teresa grabbed a leafy vegetable from the counter and shoved it into Cheryl’s mouth.” Zip it!” she snapped.

Cheryl spat the vegetable out and muttered, “It’s tough handling everything on your own without a husband to help.” With that, she exited the kitchen.

She noticed Michael tapping away on the phone but did not know who he was texting.
