I know you like kids. It&#8217;s my fault that I couldn&#8217;t keep your child. Let&#8217;s have a child. I want you to be happy,&#8221; I say seriously.<\/p>\n<p>After a shower, I hug her tightly.<\/p>\n<p>However, she freezes, her face full of resentment.<\/p>\n<p>When I kiss her, she bites my lips.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jane, are you crazy?&#8221; I say sternly.<\/p>\n<p>Jane is really like a rose. I try to please her. But in the end, I only get hurt.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really annoyed that I can&#8217;t figure out what she is thinking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, leave me alone. Every bit of you is disgusting!&#8221; She sneers.<\/p>\n<p>Disgusting?<\/p>\n<p>Does she feel disgusted when I touch her?<\/p>\n<p>Her words ignite my anger.<\/p>\n<p>Why is her so sick of me? For which man she is keep her chastity?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Disgusting? We had sex for so many times. You&#8217;re my wife. What&#8217;s wrong with having a child? Or is it because you just want to have children with another man?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is not what I think, but I can&#8217;t refrain myself from saying those harsh words.<\/p>\n<p>While I regret what I&#8217;ve said, Jane said, her teeth gritted, &#8220;Can you stop talking about the child? You are the last person who has the right to blame me for not having children!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here we go again.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I mention kids, she is like that.<\/p>\n<p>What has happened to the last child? Why is her so emotional every time I speak of the child?<\/p>\n<p>Puzzled, I want to figure out what&#8217;s on her mind. I want to see through her.<\/p>\n<p>I stop and sit to the side, staring at her in half seriousness and half doubt.<\/p>\n<p>I need an answer, very urgently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why are you so emotional every time I mention the child? What&#8217;s wrong?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, you killed our child! Do you know how much I hate you?! I want you to die!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She shouts at me, tears rolling down her cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>What does she say?<\/p>\n<p>Our child?<\/p>\n<p>I suddenly have a bold guess.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our &#8230; child?&#8221; I stare blankly at her, even more puzzled, &#8220;You said the child is ours?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>My heart beats faster.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no exaggeration that I&#8217;ve never been so nervous in my entire life.<\/p>\n<p>I am waiting for her reply bated breath.<\/p>\n<p>Jane glares at me angrily with a sneer, &#8220;Will you stop pretending?! You make me sick!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It seems that my guess is correct.<\/p>\n<p>This child is really mine.<\/p>\n<p>Why on earth have I been jealous of myself?<\/p>\n<p>I am overwhelmed by ecstasy. Right now, I just want to hug her and dote on her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s my child. It&#8217;s our child.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I whisper, my voice trembling.<\/p>\n<p>My tears are flickering in my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tell me, where is our child now? Where is he?&#8221; I ask cautiously.<\/p>\n<p>I hold her shoulders in excitement.<\/p>\n<p>The thought of our child perks me up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enough. He has been murdered by you! You sent Hamlin to Prague to kill him, and you are still pretending. Do you really think I&#8217;m a fool?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She shouts at me furiously.<\/p>\n<p>Hamlin? When did I ever ask Hamlin to do this?<\/p>\n<p>However, the underlining, yet more important message makes me almost collapse.<\/p>\n<p>She says &#8230; our child is already dead?<\/p>\n<p>I just find out I have a child. But in the blink of an eye, she breaks such a piece of bad news to me. How can I accept it?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What did you say? When did I ask Hamlin to do such an evil thing? How could it be?! I didn&#8217;t even know that we had a child. Why didn&#8217;t you tell me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>My heart wrenches. It aches more violently when I sense her despair.<\/p>\n<p>Now I understand why her collapses at the very word of child.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that our child has long been dead.<\/p>\n<p>But I never knew that we have a child. If I knew, I would not allow her to leave me. I would definitely take good care of them.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t know when the child came. I didn&#8217;t know when he died.<\/p>\n<p>I have to know what has happened.<\/p>\n<p>She says with a sneer, &#8220;Sorry, I don&#8217;t believe in you. I don&#8217;t believe a single word of you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There must be a reason why she says decisively that Hamlin does it.<\/p>\n<p>All I need to do now is to ask Hamlin about it.<\/p>\n<p>I look at her in distress. I want to say something, but words fail me. I let out a sigh and call Hamlin.<\/p>\n<p>The phone rings for a short while before it&#8217;s cut off.<\/p>\n<p>I call again, but he turns it down.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s going on? Why doesn&#8217;t Hamlin answer?<\/p>\n<p>I turn around to look at Jane and say seriously, &#8220;You have to believe me. It&#8217;s not me. You say it&#8217;s Hamlin. I will investigate it. I will not let our child &#8230; die in vain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She is devastated to lose her child. I am, too.<\/p>\n<p>So I need to know the truth. At any cost.<\/p>\n<p>However, the way Jane looks at me seems to show she doesn&#8217;t trust me at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No matter what you do, it doesn&#8217;t change anything. My child is dead because of you. Even if you kill Hamlin, my child won&#8217;t be alive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tears roll down her cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>I really want to ask her what has happened to the child.<\/p>\n<p>But I can&#8217;t. She is already hysterical. Recalling the tragic past is so heavy to her. It will overwhelm her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-659","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/659","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=659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
