Two hours later, the car pulled up in front of the Serenity Postpartum Center.
Mia Carter had fallen asleep and was only awakened when Nina Torres called her name.
She opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. They felt slightly familiar, and it took her a moment to realize where they were.
“Why did you bring me here?”
Nina pulled a card from her bag and gave Mia a playful wink. “I’ve got the money ready. We’re doing your postpartum month right here!”
She hopped out of the car, rounded to Mia’s side, and opened the door. “Come on, get out. Let’s go pay the deposit.”
“No.” Mia sat firmly in the car, refusing to budge. “There’s no need to waste money like this.”
Nina stamped her foot in frustration. “I’m doing this for your own good! This place is close to the hospital. New mothers can face emergencies at any time during their postpartum month. If something happens, you won’t make it to the hospital in time if you’re too far away…”
Realizing she was being a bit of a doomer, she quickly tapped her mouth. “Knock on wood! Nothing will happen, but this place is truly the best fit.”
‘The other center has a medical team too,” Mia countered. “And high-risk pregnancies usually apply to older
mothers. I’m young.”
Mia tried to pull the car door shut. “Get back in. Let’s go home.”
‘I’ve already spoken to the staff here.”
Nina grabbed the edge of the door, preventing her from closing it. “At least give me some face and come inside to
take a look.”
Mia ignored her and stayed put.
‘We have money, Mia. You don’t need to worry about the cost,” Nina urged.
“We have money ‘now’, but that doesn’t mean we’ll have it forever. We should spend it where it counts,
understand?”
Mia knew Nina meant well.
They were doing well for now, but that didn’t guarantee the future. Raising two children would be incredibly expensive; she had to be prepared.
“I just feel like we’re only going to do this once in our lives,” Nina said, her head drooping. “The cost of living in Northbrook is even higher, and since I couldn’t afford a high-end place for myself back then, I felt like I failed myself. I don’t want to fail you too.”
Nina sighed. “My son’s father is a mystery, but your baby is a little master of the Hale family. Even if he can’t enjoy his father’s wealth right now, we should still give him a life of luxury.”

“That way, if the Hale family ever tries to take him away, at least he won’t be blinded by the glitz and glamour of their world.”
She was thinking even further ahead than Mia.
Mia was silent for a few seconds. “No matter how hard we work, we can’t give him the lifestyle the Hale family can. If the child’s identity is ever exposed, the choice won’t be in my hands, and it won’t be in the child’s. It will be
in Ethan Hale’s.”
If the Hale family wanted to claim the child, she couldn’t stop them. The child’s wishes wouldn’t even matter. Conversely, if the Hale family didn’t want to acknowledge him, no amount of social climbing or greed would get him through their front door.
“I-”
“Mia?”
