Chapter 11 - MARIA'S COURAGE Maria suddenly remembered something.
"Mr. Ethan... there was a day Victoria asked me about the nursery schedule."
"What schedule?"
"When Leo sleeps. When you leave. When you come home."
Ethan stared at her.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought she was simply being controlling."
Ethan shook his head.
"No. She was gathering information."
Maria felt guilty.
"I should have realized."
Ethan placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You protected Leo when it mattered."
For the first time, Maria saw how exhausted he really was.
He wasn't merely fighting Victoria.
He was fighting the fear of losing another person he loved.
His late wife had died.
Now someone was threatening his son.
Ethan whispered:
"I can't lose him too."
