Elena was anxious as she paced back and forth, waiting for the result.
She hoped it was just a false alarm; unfortunately, the moment she saw the two lines on the pregnancy test, she turned pale.
Then, past memories haunted her like a ghost she couldn't escape—Little Mia's death and the children who had been victims of human cannibalism.
Her emotions were in turmoil; she was afraid that the same fate would happen to the baby in her belly.
But then, a sudden stream of energy flowed through her, as if comforting her and telling her not to be afraid.
To her amazement, she realized the energy was coming from her belly.
Then it suddenly hit her: 'The core from the bank.'
The energy from it might have been taken by the baby.
She smiled while caressing her belly.
'Are you comforting Mom? Since you want to be with me, then be strong, alright?'
She was determined to do everything to keep the baby safe; this time, there would be no 'what ifs.'
