" You don't know how hard it is for me to see my naughty and active son in this condition…" Katherine replied in a cracked voice. The nurse felt so bad about seeing her pain and said, " Shall I tell you some good news? ". Instantly Katherine raised her head and looked at the nurse blankly.

" When you were having breakfast this morning, I noticed a slight movement of his fingers. It is a good sign as per his health condition, " the nurse informed. 

Her mood changed on hearing the nurse " Really...you noticed him moving his fingers.." She asked the nurse with excitement. 

The nurse nodded her head with a small smile. " Hope your son will recover soon…" she said.

" We too hope so...Miss. Leon( nurse) " Adrian said while entering the room. Then he continued, " And also I hope you will continue the same care for our son…" 

" Sure, Mr. Wilson…" she said politely and left the room, closing the door behind her.

….

Katherine wanted to know why he was behaving strangely. Before she questioned him, his mobile rang. He immediately attended the call. He sat on the couch and was talking to someone over the call. After a few minutes, he attended the call. 

Katherine could not stay calm anymore. She walked seriously towards him and said, " How could you think, I would leave our little Sam in this condition and go to North America? You might have taken my opinion? " she yelled.

" Mrs. Wilson, don't forget what you promised me this morning," he said in a serious tone.

" What mistake have I made? Why are you behaving rudely with me? " She inquired in a cracked voice. 

" You want to know why I changed all of a sudden! " he said and took his mobile and asked her to play the video. 

She took his mobile and did as he said. As soon as the video played, her hands shivered then tears rolled down from her eyes. The next moment, she dropped the mobile from her hand and looked at him with sadness.

" It's all a lie...Ad. Please don't believe that video. I think someone morphed that video. Martin and I are only best friends…" she cried, kneeling in front of his feet.

" Does it matter to you whether I believe it or not? " he asked her who was crying in front of him.

She stopped crying and raised her head. For a few seconds, her mind became numb. " Ad… what do you mean! " she said with a quivering tone while still sitting in the same position.

" Just imagine what is going on in my heart and my feelings when someone sent me the DNA reports that Sam is not my son but Martin's," he said, looking at her.

She stood up on her feet and fisted his T-shirt glaring at him. " That's why you want me to leave him alone in this condition as you think that reports are true! " she shouted.

" If I doubted...I never married you without taking the DNA test of Sam..." he answered, looking into her eyes.

" Then why are you behaving strangely? Why do you want to leave our Sam here with Steven and Ruby! " she questioned.

" Kathie… you promised that you will not oppose my decision. Not only that you will prove your love for me. It's testing time for your Love " he replied. Then he continued, " Maybe you can think that it is a punishment for you to separate my son from me all these years…"

" So...you are taking revenge on me? " she asked with a serious face.

" I don't care what you think about me. I only care about the property we should get as your inheritance for now, " he said and stepped back from her. 

She knew him as a sweet, kind, and caring person. But this kind of Adrian was new for her. She faced an angry and broken side of him. But she never faced a frustrated and indifferent side of Adrian. She was confused. She doesn't understand whether her husband had faith in her or doubted her fidelity. She placed her head with her palms and sat on the floor, leaning back to the bed where Sam was lying on the bed.

Tears were flowing from her eyes like waterfalls. She doesn't understand how she could leave Sam, a piece of her heart in this condition. 

"Is it my punishment? " She thought while crying.

…..

After a while, Ruby entered the room along with Maria. They stopped at the entrance of the room on noticing Katherine who sat on the floor, looking blankly. And her face was covered with dried tears.

" Kathie … "

" Kathie… dear… "

Both of them walked towards her anxiously. " Kathie...dear. I am sorry to talk with you rudely earlier. I didn't imagine that you would cry like this, " Maria said, sitting on the edge of the bed where Ruby placed her hand on Kathie's shoulder.

" Mom...I love Adrian so much. I never want his life to be in danger. Believe me…. " She cried, placing her head on Maria's lap.

Maria looked at her and stroked her hair softly with her palms and said, " I know still ...I yelled at you. What to do! Being a mother, I slipped my tongue, having love for my son. I would have remembered that all these years you stayed away from him for his safety "

" Sorry...my dear …." She apologized to Katherine.

" Don't worry. We will take care of Sam. Please don't cry .." Ruby consoled her from the other side.

" Is it Adrian's idea to go to your place? " Maria inquired looking at Katherine. For which, she remained silent and lowered her head.

Just in time, Steven and Adrian walked inside the room. Next to them, the maid came with luggage. 

" Arrange Ruby's luggage in the wardrobe…" Steven ordered the maid, indicating with the finger.

" Why are you shifting my luggage here! " Ruby questioned Steven. 

" After Adrian and Katherine went, you need to take care of Sam. So I thought it would be better. Especially, I don't want you to stress when you are pregnant " Steven replied.

" Ruby. ... Pregnant! " Maria asked with shock.
