"Mom, can I ask you something?"
"Of course." Anxia listened to her son's questions while listening to someone's footsteps outside.
"How did you feel when you discovered I was your son?"
Anxia blinked a few times at her son's unexpected question. "I was so surprised. At the same time, I felt stupid. How could I not realize I was carrying twins and let someone else take you? I feel so stupid."
"No, you're not. They say that mothers are smarter than their babies, so it's not your fault."
"Are you saying I'm a baby?" Anxia pinched her son's nose, inviting amused laughter from the boy.
The next second, Anxia heard the sound of a punch from outside, making her reflexively look toward the room's balcony.
"Mama?"
"Shhh." interrupted Anxia while holding her son's mouth subtly.
Then Anxia picked up her son and took the boy to a corner of the room far from the balcony door. She ordered Elliot to squat down and hide behind the table without making a sound.
