"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Garrison asked.
Marcus Garrison, his eyes red, said slowly, "Renee has been forcing herself to put up with you for my sake, and I don't want to see her suffer anymore."
"Marcus Garrison, you make yourself clear right now!" Mrs. Garrison's face was ashen as she gasped for breath.
"Mom, I've already made up my mind. Since you can't accept Renee, I'll move out with her." After speaking, Marcus Garrison brushed off Mrs. Garrison's hand and strode into the bedroom.
After that, no matter what Mrs. Garrison said, Marcus Garrison didn't open the door.

「The next afternoon.」
Renee Jennings and Sheryl Sawyer went to the pet hospital together to visit Inky.
The little guy was doing much better today than yesterday and could already open its eyes to look at people.
Renee Jennings waved at it through the incubator and said softly, "Inky, you're doing great. You're recovering so well today. I bet you'll be able to go home in a few more days."
