“What have you done to my car?” she asked, her voice piercing through the surrounding silence. Her disregard for the baby’s well-being was evident, as she bypassed her child’s presence entirely, focusing solely on the inconvenience caused to her vehicle. Her tone was filled with indignation and disbelief, not for the potential loss of her child’s life, but for the physical damage to her property.

But the mother was relentless, berating him for involving himself in her affairs. Her reaction was not only unexpected but deeply unsettling for everyone around.
