Maximilian said, “Oh, you search that quilt, Arabelle? I lent it to Kimberly. Didn't her baby just come out? She has been coughing for a long time.”
Kimberly Beadsworth was Maximilian's childhood sweetheart. After they separated, she married abroad that year.
But then she divorced her ex-husband half a year ago. It made her return to Luxembourg with a big belly.
During pregnancy, Maximilian took care of her. It became more intense after the child was born. Maximilian often bought milk powder and clothes for Kimberly’s baby. I just couldn’t believe he also lent Vilhelmina's favourite peace quilt to her.
I cursed to my husband, “You are sick, Maximilian. Vilhelmina will cry if she goes home and doesn't see the peace quilt.”
As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt ridiculous.
Would Vilhelmina even come home?
She was born prematurely. I was nine months pregnant when I went to work with an illness.
I ended up in a coma with a high fever. It caused Vilhelmina to get a bacterial infection. She then went into an incubator after she was born.
