Chapter 1: Los Angeles, it is
In a luxurious mansion, Beijing
"Waaah Waaah!"
Diana was jolted up by the sound. She sat up on the floor, looking in the direction of the round bed.
She rubbed her eyes which were red and puffy from all the crying she did before the tears lulled her to sleep... Pushing herself to her feet, she glanced at the baby, crying on the bed.
After giving it another thought, she cradled the baby in her arms.
The action felt foreign to her and she was holding the little thing in an awkward position but eventually, she adjusted.
She looked around her room and picked up the water bottle, "Are you hungry?"
Of course, who was she asking? A six-months-old?
The baby kept crying and she panicked, settling onto the bed. She poured just about a spoonful of water into the bottle cap before placing it near the baby’s mouth.
Violent knocks resounded on the door and her hand shook.
The bottle landed on the floor and the cap slipped off, the baby still had her tongue darted out to lick the water.
