She looks at the pregnancy test report in his hand, hearing him say "abort it", which deeply hurts her feeling. The marriage of three years finally loses to a diagnosis...
Proofread by Fu Tianying
Yu Fei has never been happier than this moment. Standing on the hallway, she holds the pregnancy test report with fingers trembling uncontrollably with one hand and strokes her still flat belly with another hand.
"Chen", she throws herself into the man behind her with gaiety and excitement, "Finally, we have our own baby!"
However, the man's handsome face does not show any hint of pleasure but gloom. He looks down at the girl in his arms with mixed feelings.
"...Well, abort it." He says in a bit hoarse voice after a long time.
"...? !"
Yu Fei's eyes widen in a flash. His voice is so distant that she forgets to react. It has been a long time before she came to herself.
"W...WHY? Chen, don't you always want a child?"
Ko Chen compresses his lips, as he turns his gaze to the girl in front of him slowly. An ironical smile emerges on his indifferent face abruptly, "Why? Don't you know what you have done?"
"What have I done?"
The wind blows through the window and takes away the report in her hand, but she is greeted by another one.
"See it yourself!"
The tough edge of the paper hits her cheek and makes her painful.
"What's this?"
Yu Fei bends down doubtfully and picks up the paper. When she sees the word "ABORTION" at the end of it, her whole brain buzzes.
The date on it is three years ago, before she married Ko Chen. The dusty memory comes back again.
Hospital. Doctor's sighs. And the woman's cry.
"Oh no, it's not what you think. I..." Yu Fei shakes her head in tears.
"The evidence is right in front of you, and you're resorting to sophistry?" With an air of mixed rage and disappointment, Ko Chen draws near step by step, and she retreats. He clenches his teeth, "Yu Fei, I am really disappointed with you."
Yu Fei clenches the hem of the man's clothes, in tears with panic and begging, "All along, you are the only man of mine. Don't you know it?"
"Really?" Ko Chen sneers, taking her fingers apart one by one. "At that time, you did take great pains to marry into our Ko family. If I hadn't come to accompany you for the antenatal examination and checked your treatment records today, I would be really fooled by your false maidenhead!" Ko Chen shakes her hands off, "Our Ko family will not tolerate you, and for this baby, I will not accept it!"
In an instant, Yu Fei feels her whole world collapses. The man's last words reverberate in her ears. Unexpectedly, three years of marriage loses to a test report.
But she can't reveal the truth.
"The only thing I can tell you is that the one who had an abortion three years ago was not me," she says ethereally.
"Then who was she?"
Ko Chen stares at her, but she doesn't explain further. He clenches his fist slowly, and then looses it. Finally, he just sneers, turns around and strides out.
Watching his determined back, she flops down on the bench in the corridor, with tears damping the report in her hands. What on earth should she do?
The moment Ko Chen steps out of the hospital, Uncle Chang drives up to him.
"Mr. Ko, where is Mrs. Ko?"
Ko Chen looks pale, suddenly squats down and coughs violently. His blood flows down from his knuckles of fingers. Seeing this, Uncle Chang hastily comes forward to hold him.
"Blood? Mr. Ko, please tell Mrs. Ko the truth! Your illness can't be delayed any longer!"
Ko Chen shakes his hands and glances at Yu Fei who is walking out of the hospital. He hastens to catch Uncle Chang, "Come on, help me get on."
Uncle Chang sees her, too, "but, she...?"
"I said, get onto the car!"
The tone of Ko Chen suddenly turns cold. Uncle Chang doesn't dare to delay and helps him get onto the car.
"Let's go."
Uncle Chang is shocked. He can't figure out what happened between them. Exactly at the moment, he meets Yu Fei's gaze.
Yu Fei's eyes are red, which is obviously the sign of cry. He glances again at Ko Chen, who is coughing in the car, has to get in the car and leaves.
"Boss, she is chasing us."
Hearing Uncle Chang's words, Ko Chen struggles to restrain his cough, while scarlet blood is still on his lips. He looks at the smaller figure in the rearview mirror and clenches his hands which are hanging on the two sides of his body more and more tightly.
"Boss Ko, where are we going now?" Uncle Chang observes the man in the rear seats through the rearview mirror. "Would you like to see the family doctor?"
Ko Chen shakes his head, "No, thanks. Straight to the company."
Hardly has his voice faded away when Ko Chen's phone rings, and the screen is flashing with "Yu Fei". His hand which is holding the phone trembles slightly due to his clenching, and his eyes turn red, as if he is suffering from some enormous pains.
The sky is getting darker and darker, accompanied with rumbles of distant thunder.
The ringtone reverberates around the car. Uncle Chang doesn't even dare to breathe.
"Pull over."
Says Ko Chen distantly. He opens the window, and the wind blows in with moisture and agitates him more. He answers the phone.
"Hello."
Seeing she gets through to Ko at length, Yu Fei wipes her tears in haste regardless of her bruised arms which are scratched when chasing his car. She smiles, trying to fawn on Ko, "Chen, that report is really none of my business. Yu can prove it. She was there at that time, too. She..."
"Ah..." Ko Chen sneers abruptly, "Now you want to tell me that the person who had an abortion was actually your sister Yu Yu?
"..." Yu Fei freezes, and her hand by which she holds the phone trembles slightly, "You, you already knew?"
"Knew what?" The man's voice is cold and grows more sarcastic. He says, "Yu Fei, now, you make me sick!"
The lightning strikes the sky, and the rain pours down.
The moment Ko Chen hangs up the phone, he coughs violently. He looks at the raindrops out of the window, clenches his fist more and more tightly, and finally gives the front seat a punch.
"Go back!"
Yu Fei is rooted to the spot, due to his words.
She, makes him sick?
Her phone falls off her hand. Raindrops splash on her face and body. She cannot even identify it is the raindrops or tears that blur her eyes.
They have been married for three years, and have always been respecting each other, although she knew that he may not love her.
Three years ago, she was forced to marry Ko Chen. She was indifferent and reluctant at the beginning, but she gradually fell in love with this man. In this business marriage, she lost her whole heart...
Now she has his baby, but he doesn't trust her anymore, worse still...
With tears rolling down, Yu Fei strokes her belly, murmuring, "Baby, what should I do?"
The phone at her foot suddenly rings. Yu Fei looks at it. It is her sister. In a flash, her eyes brighten. Is there any chance to fix their marriage?
