I did not argue. Instead, I quietly looked down, focused on tending to the baby and said without touching the subject he asked, "I’m moving into the postpartum care center the day after tomorrow. Only one person is allowed to stay with me, so I asked Cissy."
Then I added, "As for you, you should just stay with your daughter and ex-wife."

Me and Mario had booked the postpartum care center together. Back then, he had sworn up and down that no matter what, he would be there for me and the baby.

Lilith's voice suddenly cut my words. She suddenly came from outside the door and rushed in. She was holding her daughter with a panicked expression.
"How did she get a fever?" After he said that, Mario turned and left resolutely.
Lilith did not even spare a single glance at the baby in my arms, as if he had nothing to do with her.
