I was shocked. A four-month-old child?
I stared at Felix and wondered if he realized he had become a cuckold. I was even amazed to know that he still accepted her despite the truth.
I had underestimated him.
He happened to look over and noticed my surprise. He gritted his teeth and glared at me coldly. “Don’t look at me like this. That’s not my child. I wanted to retaliate against her at first. But when I saw her, I felt sick and couldn’t touch her at all. So I gave up my idea.
“I didn’t have to care about such rubbish. She’s the one who keeps pestering me and wants to get back together with me. She caused what happened today. I only care about her out of humanitarianism.”
It turned out this was the truth. I nearly assumed he’d be a father. It was a good thing he wasn’t stupid or hopeless enough to clean up someone else’s mess.
Lilac’s already downcast expression became even worse when she heard that. Her dead-like eyes were like a puddle about to dry up, and her body was motionless and unresponsive.
I pouted indifferently. Whatever happened between them had nothing to do with me. Felix didn’t need to explain it to me. It was redundant.
Hannah’s tears finally dried up. She sniffed before giving up my shoulders. Then, she approached Felix, raised her head, and said something that almost made me squirt, “Felix, you’re so kind. I admire you!” I wondered whether she admired his appearance or humanitarianism. She was exaggerating.
If she liked Felix’s face, I had nothing to say. In terms of appearance, he was indeed attractive and well-known throughout Jesselton College.
We spoke a lot, but Lilac still lay silently. Her gaze shifted darkly into the void. I had no idea what she was thinking. She seemed indifferent to everything around her.
Her child was gone, and her soul appeared to have followed suit.
When I sighed softly, her eyes began to redden.
A tear dropped from her eye, one after another. Her tears then kept falling. She finally shuddered, bit the corner of the quilt, and cried silently. Ads by PubFuture
Only then did I look at Lilac carefully. She was skinny and had dry hair. She lost the chubby and delicate appearance she had before. I guessed she wasn’t doing well.
It was all her fault. That was her retribution. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Lilac, do you want to call your mother over?”
I still couldn’t bear seeing her in pain.
Lilac’s behavior was hateful, yet she was still a woman. She might inevitably be frightened when she encountered something like this. Perhaps she needed someone to rely on. Her family should be by her side to take care of her at this time.
“Tell me your mother’s phone number. I’ll call her.”
I took out my phone and was ready to make a call, but she shook her head and declined. “No, I can stay alone.”
“But you…”
I wanted to persuade Lilac to let her mother care for her for a few days. She was so weak that she couldn’t even speak properly. How could she stay alone?
Unexpectedly, she grew enraged before I finished speaking.
She widened her eyes and yelled at me angrily, “I said I can stay alone! Don’t keep pretending to be kind! Do you think everyone is you and that others will care and protect me?
“Many people like and love you. What about me? I have nothing! My father is in prison. I’m not even sure if he’ll be released in his lifetime. As for my mother…”
