Quentin didn’t say a word.

He strapped the second child tightly to his chest, grabbed a large pot, and placed it over the kid to shield him. Then he turned and headed downstairs again.
As soon as he left, the woman looked completely lost. She stared after him, then slowly turned to the cart and began counting her remaining children like she was counting baby chicks,
“One.
Two.
“Three.
“Why are there only three left?”
She paused, then counted again.
“Onc.
“Two,
Three.
Suddenly, she looked up in panic. Dr. Larson, there are only three left! What should I do? I’m missing two of my kids! I have to go find them!”
“You miscounted, Theresa said calmly. “Count again. You still have five.”
The woman blinked, then quickly turned back to the cart.
‘One, two, three… four, five!”
She finished counting and looked up, beaming. “Dr. Larson, you’re right! I didn’t lose any of my kids! Not
even one!
Theresa just gave a long, silent look.
Ten minutes later, Quentin returned and took another child.
Now only two were left. The woman kept counting them over and over.
Theresa had already told her there were five. And with Theresa’s calm certainty, the woman didn’t question it at all. She simply assumed she was bad at counting, and every time she counted two, she saw
five.
“ One, two, three, four… five!”
“Dr. Larson, I got it right this time!” she said proudly, pushing the cart over to sit beside Theresa. “Can I discharge now?”

“Yeah, Theresa said. “Once he gets back here, you’ll leave with us.”

There were only two kids left now. No need for more runs. Theresa would have Quentin take one, she’d carry the other, and then the woman could follow them. That would be their last trip out.
Time was running out.
Theresa checked her watch.
In just thirty minutes, all five explosives would go off at once.
“Dr. Larson! Is my dad coming to pick me up?” the woman suddenly asked, her voice full of hope.
She clutched Theresa’s hand tightly. “He forgave me, right? Did my dad finally forgive me?”
Theresa turned to look at her. The woman’s long bangs hid most of her face, but beneath them, her eyes were bright and clear. For the first time. Theresa noticed–she was actually beautiful.
“Yeah,” she said softly. “He forgave you.”
The excitement on the woman’s face slowly shifted into nervousness and anxiety. She looked uneasy. “Did he really forgive me? Even now that I have kids? Will he still forgive me?”
Theresa looked at the two frail but obedient children in the cart–no older than four or five. “He’ll accept them,” she said gently. “He’ll accept your kids
The woman clutched the cart and suddenly burst into tears.
“No, he won’t. That day, he hit me and dragged me by the hair to the hospital. He said I embarrassed him. and if I didn’t get rid of the baby, he wouldn’t acknowledge me as his daughter!
“He kicked my stomach. It hurt so bad, and he just kept hitting me. He’ll never want my kids.”
Hearing this, Theresa felt a sharp pain in her chest. “Why did he hit you? What about the kids‘ dad?”
“The kids‘ dad ran off. My dad beat him up and chased him away. Then he dragged me to the guy’s house, and his mom said they’d just let their son marry me. But my dad wanted a dowry, and they wouldn’t give it.
They said I was already pregnant–there was nothing else they could do. My dad got furious, fought with them, and ended up chasing the kids’ dad away.”
Theresa frowned. Then what happened?”
Then my dad got arrested. I begged the cops, crying, saying I didn’t want the baby anymore–I just wanted my dad back. But the doctors took me away.
Theresa looked at the mentally unstable girl in front of her and let out a quiet sigh.
She could pretty much piece the story together now.
A young girl, naive and clueless, got pregnant by an irresponsible guy. His family mistreated her because of the pregnancy. Her hot–tempered father lost control and ended up getting arrested after a fight.

The whole thing must’ve been devastating. She probably lost the baby too. That would explain why she broke down and started thinking all these kids were hers. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn.net
“My dad really forgave me the woman asked, gripping Theresa’s hand with a mix of hope and fear.
“Yeah” Theresa nodded. “He’s coming to get you soon.
“How about my kids? Will he like them too?”
Yeah. He told me he likes all your kids.”
The woman instantly lit up. She paced in circles, then turned back to Theresa, Dr. Larson, my dad’s name is Greg Murphy. He builds tall buildings. He always wears jeans and a black T–shirt, and he’s always dirty. He’s really short–shorter than me–and super skinny. Don’t mix him up with anyone else!”
