Chapter 16 - The Last TestChange, however, was not easy.
One afternoon, an accident happened.
The baby knocked over a glass.
The wife immediately began to lose her temper.
For one terrifying second, the old version of her returned.
Then she stopped.
She took a breath.
She looked at the nanny.
And instead of blaming her, she said:
“It's okay. Nobody is hurt.”
The nanny stared at her.
The wife almost laughed through her tears.
“I almost did it again.”
The nanny smiled gently.
“But you didn't.”
That moment meant more than any grand apology.
