I recognize \u2014<\/p>\n<p>The baby in her arms.<\/p>\n<p>Earl.<\/p>\n<p>She actually brings Earl out.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t suppress my excitement, and tears fall down my cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are you doing? Even if you didn&#8217;t see baby, you wouldn&#8217;t be so excited, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seeing me cry, Mindy is at a loss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Earl! Mindy, you take a look at Earl.&#8221; I point at the child held by Whitney not far away, and my voice is trembling due to excitement.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy follows my sight and frowns, &#8220;Even his own mother cannot recognize him from such a distance. Can you see it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I also find it strange, but I indeed recognize her. I am sure that the child is Earl.<\/p>\n<p>The weather isn&#8217;t very warm today, but Whitney actually dresses the child so little that she brings the child out without even wrapping her blanket?<\/p>\n<p>How could Earl have a good life by staying with Whitney?<\/p>\n<p>In an instant, my heart aches fiercely.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney carries the child into a building, and my heart instantly skips a beat.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the hospital!<\/p>\n<p>What happens to the child?<\/p>\n<p>Why do they go to the hospital?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go, Mindy. Let&#8217;s go take a look.&#8221; I pulls Mindy over and don&#8217;t give her the chance to refuse.<\/p>\n<p>As she walks, Mindy complains about me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You are really a great mother. You are even so devoted to the child of an enemy! I have nothing to say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I roll my eyes at her and say seriously, &#8220;I should hate Whitney, but the child is innocent. Moreover, we really hit it off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright, alright. Holy Mother, it&#8217;s up to you. By the way, I haven&#8217;t even seen what the child looks like. I&#8217;ll see it clearly today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The doctor doesn&#8217;t say anything else. He is probably doing an examination.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, he scolds Whitney, &#8220;He has already reached 39.5 degrees. Don&#8217;t you notice it as a mother? Besides, you clearly know that the child is uncomfortable, but you still bring him out when he wears so little. What exactly are you thinking about?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>My heart skips a beat. He has a fever again?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How would I know? I&#8217;ve ever taken care of a child. Since he has a fever, then you try to treat him. Why are you telling me so much? I&#8217;m not a doctor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I guess the doctor inside is trying to hold back his anger so that he won&#8217;t lose his temper.<\/p>\n<p>Earl is sent to have a check-up. He has a fever and mild pneumonia. He needs to be treated in an incubator.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, the child is sent to the ward.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney stands at the end of the corridor. No one knows who she is calling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mindy, let&#8217;s go and take a look at Earl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is this really good?&#8221; Mindy hesitates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just take a glance.
