Heinz stood by the door, his tall figure illuminated by the lights from the hallway.
He stood behind Grace. He noticed that she was staring at the child before her in a daze.
She was terrified of meeting him.
Grace was probably too timid to see him.
Heinz faltered as he looked at her silhouette.
She had given birth to two children with such a fragile body. One mistake in one night led her to bear this heavy weight for countless years.
Heinz's pupils constricted as he thought about this. His heart began to throb in pain, and a lump formed in his throat. He found it painful to even swallow.
Grace stood at the doorway and stared at the sleeping boy on the bed.
She wanted no more than to rush over and embrace him, and tell him about her woes.
However, she couldn't take a single step forward.
She felt that she had wronged her son.
