Episode 4

After being satisfied with witnessing that sensational event, Caroline went back inside with a beaming smile.

Approaching the entrance, her husband was there. "Why Grace? What's wrong? Why did I hear a commotion?"

"Oh, that.... Pak Yano's maid was caught cheating in his house," Grace replied.

"Enough! Let's go inside! How long are you going to stay here!" Grace continued, to be honest, she couldn't quite act the way she should with her husband.

"Grace, where did you get the money?" the man asked gently.

'Oh my gosh, why ask when it's just for food! Eh, I can't possibly answer like that, right? Considering... This man, is kind to the owner of this body.'

"I got it from helping people. Giving them the information they needed," Grace replied with a small smile.

"Mom! Come on, I'm hungry!" the little boy said impatiently.

"Yes, let's eat!" The man nodded slightly and paused for a moment, he saw the sweet smile and sparkling face of his son who had never had food like this before.

"Eat!" Caroline immediately averted her gaze from the man whose food she had served.

"Dad, Mom! This is so delicious!" The little boy kept making sounds because he was so happy, his tongue tasted delicious food that he had never tasted before.

"Eat some more! You can finish it!" Caroline said, for her, food like this was only eaten once in a while.

"What?" Caroline asked when a bowl of rice with side dishes and lots of vegetables was in front of her.

"Eat first. Because Ella might wake up. She needs to drink breast milk. You need it."

'Breast milk?' Oh my gosh, Caroline just remembered. Grace, this woman is breastfeeding her baby.

"It's rare to have vegetables with side dishes like this. You and Ella need it, we can't just give her rice water."

"Yes, Mom. Mom can also take my vegetables. Because my sister really needs them. I can just eat half the side dish. The rest is for later." The little boy did the same, Caroline was silent, something she had never felt before reappeared in this kind of atmosphere.

"You can eat, I-I will eat this. Don't worry, eat without hesitation." Caroline, who usually never spoke in a soft tone, suddenly uttered that soft voice from her lips.

"**************"

"I cry so easily! I haven't even been this woman for a day. What's wrong with me, is it because I still have a baby? And that man.... I don't know what to do with him." Caroline was sitting thinking about what was happening to her.

Ella's cry was heard, Caroline immediately picked her up. "Looks like she's thirsty." Caroline's hands became awkward, as if her soul and Grace's soul were still separate, as if there was a half-and-half in her.

Caroline felt her shoulder open. "A...."

"Your clothes have a zipper, so it must be difficult to nurse Ella."

"Can you check on... Daniel?" Caroline said, she felt she couldn't have a man around when her body was exposed.

"Yes." Caroline looked at the man who was struggling with the wheelchair.

"The wheelchair is no longer suitable! Even this house is very unsuitable! The money earlier may still be left, but it can't fully last. I have to find a way to survive! Sshhh...." Caroline felt a strange tingle, when the little baby was nursing on her.

The gaze from those round eyes captivated her. "She's like this woman."

"You're so sweet....." Those words came out of her mouth as if the baby girl understood.

"***********************"

"What are you looking for?"

"No, I'm just cleaning this up," Caroline replied.

"By yourself?" The man smiled.

"I want to check the vegetables in the back. Maybe there's something that can be harvested and sold to the market for us to eat," she replied.

"Vegetables?"

"Yes."

"Wait!" Caroline said.

"What's wrong?" Her husband asked.

"Let me help."

"But, I can....."

"It's okay, never mind!" Caroline wanted to see the vegetables she was talking about. She rushed to the back, a small place and half of it was overgrown with bushes.

'Is this what they call vegetables for sale?'

"Not bad, this can be sold. I'll go first."

"Let me!"

"But what about Ella?"

'That's right.'

"I will, anyway, I'm used to it. I'll be home soon." Without waiting for Caroline's answer, the man left.

"Oh well! I better think about making money quickly!"

"******************"

"What happened?" Caroline asked, she saw her husband come home in a state that was not like this morning.

"Did the vegetables sell?"

"Your husband's merchandise was ransacked in the market!" A man who delivered her husband explained.

"What!"

"They said they had to pay rent, even though it was a public place."

"Didn't you pay it?" Caroline asked.

"No...."

"Good! What's the point of paying! It's a market! I will...." Caroline realized her behavior and the way she spoke.

"Emhhh, I mean... That's right, we don't want to be oppressed."

"But I didn't get any money today," he said.

"It's okay, I have an idea."

"What idea?"

"Grace, you're kidding... Those housing complexes over there don't want to buy vegetables from a cart," her husband rejected his wife's idea.

"Who said they don't want to? Relax my-my husband... I'm sure they will buy. Besides, you don't have to sell vegetables, you can sell other things, right?"

"Sell what?" A meaningful smile appeared on Grace's face.
