"...!"

A few seconds passed, but Rebecca didn't let go of Rudy.

"Mom…?"

"She has fallen asleep," Angelica informed.

Rudy gently pushed Rebecca and made some distance between them. Then, he carefully placed her on the bed and her head on the pillow.

Rudy was still surprised by what just happened. It was too sudden and strange for him.

"I can hear your heartbeats even though I am standing in the doorway," Angelica commented.

"I don't know why…" Rudy muttered and let out a deep sigh.

'I think I know why…' Angelica uttered inwardly and stared at Rudy for a few seconds before saying, "Maybe because she said 'I love you' to you?"

Angelica had finally gathered the courage and confidence to mention anything related to Rebecca.

"Huh? What's strange about it?" Rudy wondered with a confused look on his face. "Every mother says 'I love you' to their child. It's totally a normal thing."
