You and Carl were the most envied couple, especially in high society where successful relationships are rare. Your relationship was built on a solid foundation of respect, appreciation, love, and affection. You understood each other and went along with each other. Carl is a gentle man; he always takes care of you as if you are the most precious thing in the whole world and the most fragile thing in the world. Although he is bad at expressing his feelings verbally, he is not the type to hug and kiss his wife all the time. He has a solid and balanced facade, but he cares for her with all the small and big actions he can. He never forgot her birthday or any important occasion that concerns her. He appreciates her.

Your relationship lasted for three years, but everything changed overnight. When you found out you were pregnant, you initially disliked children, but because it was Karl's child, you were overjoyed. During the pregnancy, you discovered new sides of Karl: his anxiety and how vulnerable he could be to his family. He softened your mood swings and accommodated you, even taking more days off work to care for you. He also arranged for you to have monthly checkups with the doctor to ensure the health of both you and the baby.

Nine months passed and she gave birth to a very sweet son who looked exactly like Karl. Karl held him in his arms, overwhelmed with emotion and love, so much so that some tears welled up in his eyes. Karl, so strong as a rock, almost cried from emotion. A very moving scene... a scene you were unable to witness....

Ever since the delivery ended that day, you've been lost in thought, unable to hear or comprehend what's around you. You've remained frozen in your hospital bed, staring blankly into space... Carl tried to wake you, but the doctor stopped him and forbade any visitors.

After that day, you changed completely. That child, you saw him as a demon, a curse. You couldn't hold him even though he was your own child! You couldn't even look at him. His slowness bothered you so much. You hated him with all your heart, That was due to postpartum depression, but you didn't find out about it until years later.

Carl thought it best to leave you alone for a while, and he took care of the baby in the first few months, so he became very busy and you felt that he was neglecting you. He was only busy with his son Leon or with his work. You didn't talk to him and you didn't realize that this situation would last a long time and was not temporary...

3 years later:

You were on a work phone call while walking around the house when Leon rushed over, calling "Mama, Mama," and you ignored him as usual. He grabbed onto your foot, but you pushed him away forcefully, and he fell to the ground.

The maid, his nanny, rushed towards him and hugged him, then looked at you angrily. "He's just a child! How can you be so cruel?! You don't deserve to be a mother!!"

You felt angry at the maid's words, so you raised your hands to slap her.

But a hand grabbed your wrist and stopped you; when you looked up, you found it was Karl.
