I cover myself under the blanket and pretend not to hear anything.<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, my fever is finally gone.<\/p>\n<p>I feel hungry. I quietly open the door and look around. Sabina doesn&#8217;t seem to be at home, so I go to the kitchen to cook food.<\/p>\n<p>When I go downstairs, I see an empty bowl on the table and I know Sabina has finished the noodles I cooked for her. But she said she didn&#8217;t like it. What a hypocritical woman!<\/p>\n<p>I curl my lips and go into the kitchen to cook some dumplings for myself.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy calls while I&#8217;m still eating.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jane, I&#8217;m back. Come on! Let&#8217;s hang out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mindy sounds energetic.<\/p>\n<p>She seems to always be so full of vitality. When I am down, she is like sunshine, illuminating my world.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since I saw Mindy last time.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I haven&#8217;t contacted her for a long time ever since last time when I returned home.<\/p>\n<p>It is only three o&#8217;clock in the afternoon, and Frances won&#8217;t come back so soon. So I agree. My face looks pale for the fever, so I wear a light make-up and go out.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy waits for me at Wonder Plaza. When I arrive there, she is coaxing the baby in the stroller.<\/p>\n<p>I feel so sad.<\/p>\n<p>If my child was still alive&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mindy sees me and understands what I am thinking. She smiles at me and says, &#8220;David has gone on a business trip today. I&#8217;m so boring at home. Come on! Let&#8217;s go shopping.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mindy holds me with one hand and pushes the stroller forward with the other.<\/p>\n<p>In the stroller, the baby looks around with curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>The baby looks just like David. David is very handsome, so this baby is very pretty, attracting people&#8217;s attention all the way.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to mention those sad things, but I still can&#8217;t control myself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If only my child is still alive&#8230;&#8221; I say sadly, tears rolling in my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No way. I hate Frances. I hate him for taking my child&#8217;s life. I won&#8217;t forgive him and I won&#8217;t let him off,&#8221; I say firmly.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy shakes her head and smiles without saying a word.<\/p>\n<p>I know that she might not believe me, so I just remain silent and eat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s that man doing?! Holy crap!&#8221; Mindy suddenly exclaims.<\/p>\n<p>Then she slaps on the table and stands up.<\/p>\n<p>We sit by the window and there is a secluded river outside. What did she see? A naked man?<\/p>\n<p>I look out and happen to see a man placing a child by the trash can by the river and leaving in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>I can see it clearly from the second floor.<\/p>\n<p>That child looks familiar.<\/p>\n<p>I stare at the baby for a while and suddenly recognize that it is Whitney&#8217;s child!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-317","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
