I’ll come with another plan!” Austin yells.“You are so stupid! Why did I have to give birth to a son who is so stupid? Who exactly have I done wrong to?

I need you to check her records, I’m her son.” Daxon says to the receptionist who looks at him confused.“Sir, did you say thirteen years ago? That is a long time.” She says and Azura joins the conversation, folding her hands at the counter.“We are aware of that. Can you help us?” Azura asks. “Well, I’m not sure but I hope I can. I have not been working here for thirteen years but I can look for the information. You said she was a patient here for thirteen years?

Can you tell us what really happened?” Daxon says, going straight into the question that is bothering his mind and playing with his thoughts. “It was the worst day of my life too.
