Dorothy picked up Abigail and Langston from school, immediately checking their foreheads for any signs of fever. Relieved to find them normal, they headed back to their cozy hin Bay Residence. Abigail was thrilled about getting the afternoon off, but Langston seemed a bit off.

On their way home, Langston kept glancing at Dorothy, concern etched on his young face. It wasn't until they were safely inside their hthat he tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Mommy, why are you crying?" Dorothy bent down, brushing her son's cheek with a gentle hand, "I'm not crying, sweetheart. Just got something in my eye.' Langston frowned, "That excuse is kind of overused."

However, that relief was short-lived as Kenneth's mother, Sienna, m approached her with a mix of grief and fury, slapping Dorothy across the face.

"You've brought my son to this state, and yet you have the nerve to show up here!" Sienna's accusation was like a blow, leaving Dorothy stunned and heartbroken amidst the cold, sterile corridors of the hospital.
