"Alright then," she said before taking the cup and downing the milk with a grimace.
William smiled once he saw the emptied cup. "You see? That wasn't so hard." Since he was smiling, Brianna seized the chance to make a request. "It's such a fine day today, William. Why don't we go out? You said you would taketo the park, but you haven't done so yet. I've been waiting for so long now." "Maybe next time," William replied. "I promised Dad I'd go to the office with him." Brianna pouted in disappointment. "Oh, okay. Chearlier today." William hummed in acknowledgment as he stroked her hair. "If you have nothing to do, you should take an afternoon nap. The doctor said that getting more sleep is good for the baby." Right on cue, Brianna yawned. "I do feel a little sleepy. I don't know why I've been feeling drowsy all the tlately." It hadn't been too long since she woke up, but she was already sleepy.

William watched as she got under the blanket. Soon, she fell asleep.
He stood at the door for a moment before closing it and heading back downstairs.
Joyce was still fiddling with her flowers in the living room. When she saw William, she asked, "Where's Brianna?" "She's sleeping." "Sleeping?" Joyce repeated puzzledly. "Why has she been feeling so drowsy lately?" "Isn't that normal for pregnant women?" William said nonchalantly.
He added swater to the empty cup he was holding before pouring it into the pot. The water disappeared into the soil, but tiny white specks remained on top.
"What's this?" Joyce asked as she dabbed her gloved hand on the soil, picking up sof the white substance to inspect it.
There was a flash of nervousness in William's eyes as he glanced over before saying, "That's probably just a bit of residue from the milk." "We get our milk fresh from the farm. Why would there be any kind of residue in our milk?" Joyce pondered. Prior to marrying Donald, she was a chemistry professor.
With just a single look, she was certain that the white substance couldn't be any sort of organic residue from the milk.

Then, he went to the kitchen and washed the cup several times.
Joyce followed him to the kitchen and stood at the doorway. After seeing what he did, she had a look of realization. "William, did you put a sedative in the milk you gave Brianna?"
William's expression remained the sas he set the cup away and wiped his hands dry. "You're om overthinking this, Mom. Like I said, it was just a bit of residue from the milk." Joyce marched up to him and clutched his hand. "Do you know that what you're doing will kill the baby?" William remained unruffled as he
said coolly, "You're the one who taughtnot to let babies who shouldn'exist be born, Mona that e baby was never meant to exist Even if the baby is born, its life will be a tragedy.
