"Brother-in-law, I know Tommy is your biological son, and you want him back by your side. I can understand that. But I can't leave Tommy, and I can't live without him, really..."
Silence.
The scene was filled with silence.
It was as if a sour and soft, yet somewhat depressing belief was weighing on everyone's hearts. Robert Thomson held Emma Smith tightly, thinking that he could finally understand why in Emma's heart, Tommy ranked first. There were some parts of the past he couldn't participate in, and those precious memories were created by them together. Even he couldn't change that.
Regardless of her initial motives in adopting Tommy, whether it was because she felt guilty for causing Cynthia Smith's death or her lingering crush on Dylan King, their relationship had grown and solidified over the years. In matters of love, she could be selfish, stingy, and blind to his efforts, but she had never wronged Thomas Smith in the slightest.
