It&#8217;s not easy to get a taxi here. Let me give you a ride.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He opens the car door and smiles at me.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to take his ride, but there really is no other car.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want Frances to wait for too long, so after pondering for a while, I get in the car anyway.<\/p>\n<p>There is a special pleasant smell in Noah&#8217;s car.<\/p>\n<p>The fragrance is very unique, but it smells good. Normally, men don&#8217;t wear perfume. I guess it is probably from Noah&#8217;s fianc\u00e9e, so I don&#8217;t care too much about it.<\/p>\n<p>Being alone with him is indeed awkward.<\/p>\n<p>In order to change this strange atmosphere, I begin to chat with him about his fianc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where is your fianc\u00e9e?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At home.&#8221; He says in short, concentrating on driving.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She fell down the other day. Is everything alright?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a mother, I can&#8217;t help but care about the baby.<\/p>\n<p>Noah glances at me and says casually, &#8220;We lost the baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lost the baby?<\/p>\n<p>The loss of the baby is a huge blow to a woman, but Noah says it so casually.<\/p>\n<p>The man suddenly appears so unfamiliar to me.<\/p>\n<p>Noah used to be gentle, considerate, kind and sincere. He was nothing like this indifferent man in front of me.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly has he experienced to make him become like this?<\/p>\n<p>Is it because of me?<\/p>\n<p>I feel a little distressed and dizzy.<\/p>\n<p>I guess it&#8217;s because I didn&#8217;t sleep well last night, so I lean back and close my eyes to take a nap.<\/p>\n<p>However, strange enough, soon I begin to feel exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jane, Jane?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Noah calls my name with a soft voice.<\/p>\n<p>Noah turns around and says to me in a gentle way, &#8220;Here you are. You can leave now. I have to go since I have other things to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His expression is as gentle as usual, making me even more puzzled.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly was going on? I did see his sinister face just now. I thought he had drugged me and wanted to do something to me, but it seems that nothing has happened.<\/p>\n<p>I stare at Noah in confusion and nervously say, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong with me? What happened?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You fell asleep as soon as you got in the car. You must be very tired,&#8221; He says with a faint smile.<\/p>\n<p>So what has happened was just a dream?<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tell.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you then.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I say so, open the door, and get out of the car.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the tiredness, I don&#8217;t feel anything unusual about my body.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, it was really a dream.<\/p>\n<p>I keep thinking that way.<\/p>\n<p>Until three days later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-493","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/493","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=493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
