Lizetta picked Joy up, soothing him gently.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Is Joy starving too? Let's have Daddy make some milk, okay?"
Resigned, Remington didn't wait for Lizetta to prompt him further. He climbed out of bed and switched on the light.
A warm yellow glow instantly flooded the room. Seeing the tears streaming down Joy's flushed, chubby cheeks absolutely broke Lizetta's heart.
She hurriedly cradled the baby, patting his back as she paced around the room.
"Did Joy have a nightmare? Don't be scared, Mommy is here. Or does something hurt? Why are you crying so much?"
She was frantic, but her attempts to soothe him seemed completely futile.
At that moment, the maid who had been waiting outside heard the commotion and quickly pushed the door open.
Seeing Lizetta struggling with a crying Joy, the woman immediately stepped in to help.
"Mrs. Dashiell, you might want to check if the young master needs a diaper change."
Lizetta was still lacking in experience. She had assumed he was either hungry or in pain, completely forgetting to check if he was uncomfortable because he had soiled himself.
Hearing this, she hurriedly placed Joy on the bed and pulled down his little pants to check the diaper.
"He really did need a change. Alright, alright, Mommy sees now. Joy just doesn't want to be a stinky boy, huh?"
Without any hesitation or disgust, Lizetta, with the maid's guidance, personally cleaned her son, applied some soothing powder, and fastened a fresh diaper.
Feeling clean and comfortable, Joy instantly stopped crying. He flopped onto Lizetta's shoulder, gnawing on his little fingers while his large, bright eyes stared curiously at the maid.
He likely realized the woman was a stranger.
Lizetta gently pulled his fingers out of his mouth and looked at the maid as well.
The woman appeared to be in her forties, dressed simply and cleanly. She looked efficient and had a very warm, kind face.

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
