Chapter 197

I looked at the business card which was neat with only two words 'Ivan Slecko' written on it. There was an email and phone number below his name.

I walked back to the ward with the business card in hand, feeling even more chaotic in my heart.

Is it an accident or a deliberate murder?

How could there be such a coincidence?

I don't want to kill this child but what if I indeed get sick and pass the disease to my child?

No matter how society changes, everyone's prejudice against this disease will be the same. My child surely will be looked down upon by others.

He/she surely can't be confident for the rest of his/her life and he/she will live in depression all his/her life.

What should I do...?

After entering the ward, I squatted on the ground, desperate.

I indeed couldn't make a choice.

I had lost my first child. How can I bear to kill my second child?

But what if, what if I was indeed raped and I'm infected with AIDS?

I remembered what Griffin had said.

He said it was okay for me to tak

    I sat back on the bed and kept a distance from Dave, "I was kidnapped by Lita yesterday.""Kidnapped?" Dave frowned slightly when he heard me. He reached for his phone as if he was planning on asking someone to investigate."Wait a minute." I quickly stopped him and said in a pleading tone, "Let me finish my words first."I told him Lita had kidnapped me yesterday and she had asked a few foreign men to rape me, one of whom had AIDS.It was probably because of my vanity that I didn't tell him she had poured acid for my face.I just said my face was injured.The more I said, the more uglier Dave's expression was. He clenched his hands tightly with the blue veins popping out more obviously.After I finished my words, I added, "When I woke, my lower part..., I didn't feel anything like I had been raped. I dare not take risks and I should take the anti exposure drug however...""However...?"Dave got up and walked towards me step by step.He wanted to tell me with his behavior that he di

    Dave bent over to kiss my neck and pressed his forehead against my mask...Hiss..."It hurts!"I took a deep breath.Dave was so scared that he got up immediately, "What's wrong?""My face is in pain." I held my face with my hands with an aggrieved look on my face.I was telling the truth.Dave seemed to have realized something and looked at me with a serious look on his face, "What on earth is going on?"I was silent. I didn't have the courage to tell Dave my face probably had been ruined.If he knew, I wondered what would happen.I didn't even know what was under the bandage myself.Just as I was hesitant, Dave's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone, glanced at it then he walked out.About five minutes later, he came back but this time, behind him was a man.The man was tall but thin.As soon as he came in, he looked around, "Where is the laptop? Let me have a look at it."I was stunned for a moment.The man wanted to take my laptop without even introducing himself.Dave in

    Dave walked to me, held me in his arms, and wiped the tears on my cheeks with his hand, "Don't cry. It's not the end yet. Don't worry. My people are looking into it.""But, what if, what if...""There's no what if. You'll be fine and so will our child."Dave patted my back.I knew he was comforting me.When I was choked with sobs, Dave's cell phone rang again. He answered and listened on with the look on his face getting gloomier and gloomier.After Dave hung up, I controlled my emotions and asked, "What's wrong?"Dave looked at me and frowned. After a moment of silence, he shook his head, "Nothing."No, something is wrong. Dave surely was a poker faced person when he was at work but at this time, he couldn't even control his emotions. It meant it was a serious one.I reached out my hands and placed it around Dave's waist, pressed my face against his lower abdomen and said, "Tell me the truth. What happened?"Dave was silent for a while. "The police found the bodies of those foreign m

    Although I didn't see the video clearly just now, I realized something..."It is not me in the video just now. It's Lita Defiant!"Although the person in the video had the same hairstyle and hair color as me, it was Lita Defiant!I suddenly remembered Lita was wearing a wig at that time. When I took off her wig, she was wearing a hair net."I know you can't accept it but I can tell you and her apart." Dave's tone was firm and decisive.I was anxious as I said, "Can't I even tell myself apart from her?"Dave looked at me and seemed to realize that his tone wasn't good. He took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "I know you can't accept it but I don't mind. We have long days ahead in the future. You are Mrs. Mitaka and we will have children in the future. No matter how many children you want to deliver, we will have as many as you want, okay?"After he said that, he wanted to hold my hands."No. Don't!" I quickly withdrew my hands, jumped out of bed, and tried my best to explain to h

    Griffin looked at us with surprsie. He seemed to understand. He sighed and said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't bother with this matter anymore but regarding this illness, you need to have a check up every two weeks for two consecutive months. If you are negative, it is likely you didn't get infected."Two months? That's a tough process.When I was full of agitation, Dave suddenly stood still, looked at Griffin, and asked, "What is the probability of the spread of this disease?"Isn't it 100%?I always thought it was 100%."Well..." Griffin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Generally speaking, the probability of a man passing it onto a female is higher than that of a female passing it onto a male."It was probably because I was sure I hadn't been raped by the foreign men that I didn't think the probability was high.Dave nodded.Griffin looked at my face, "Where are you going? How about you let them tend to the wound on her face now so it'll be more conven

    By the time I woke up, it was bright as day.I sensed the fragrance of laundry detergent emitting from my patient gown...Could it be that my clothes had been washed?I was a little confused. As I was about to get up, I felt dizzy. For a moment, I felt something rolling in my stomach...It is a symptom of pregnancy or something?I had suffered retching when I had been pregnant last time but the situation this time seemed to be different from that last time.When I was thinking about it, I heard the servant outside talking, "Sir, are you all right?"Is there something wrong with Dave?I pushed the door open, put up with my discomfort, and followed the voice to the study. I saw Dave sitting at his desk and working in front of his computer.It was unknown whether it was probably because of the glow of the computer but Dave's face looked particularly pale and he looked haggard.When he saw me, he immediately stood up and said, "You are awake.."Looking at him, I inexplicably felt a litt

    Dave asked the servant to help me get three more pills. I pretended to drink them down but the pills were pressed under my tongue.With the excuse of not feeling well, I went back to the room. The first thing I did was to go to the toilet to spit out the pills and flush them off.I stood in front of the mirror and looked at ugly me wearing the mask. I thought of Dave.Does he love me?He probably loves me a little but he doesn't trust me. He killed my child..Sob!Sob!..................In the following week, Dave worked from home. We took the medicine together once every 12 hours.The first time I was given the medicine, I was in a deep sleep for the whole day and since I took the anti exposure drugs for real the previous time twice, I sleep for two days with little wakes. That was why I had felt uncomfortable after I had gotten up that day but after that, I didn't take the medicine so I didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.In contrast to me, Dave was taking the medicine seriously

    Griffin came in and asked, "Are you done using my cell phone?"My heart trembled then I said, "I'll be done with it in a minute."As I spoke, I texted Oogway, "Don't reply to my text." then I quickly deleted all the texts before returning the cell phone to Griffin.Seeing me like this, Griffin teased, "What's wrong with you? Were you texting your lover?"I immediately became nervous and shook my head, "No."Griffin put away his cell phone and chuckled, "It's just a joke. Don't mind me. I think Dave is indeed a good man. You surely know this better than I do.""Well." I said dully.Was Dave a good man for me?He probably was but it was a pity that I, who had gone through so much, didn't want him anymore.When everything was done, I went out.Dave was waiting for me at the entrance. His face was pale. When he stood up, he trembled slightly. Looking at him, Griffin frowned slightly. "The anti exposure drugs have different effects on everyone. Some suffer great side effects while others

    The next day, with Oogway having something to do, I went to see Jessica alone.I arrived at the ward. Before I could enter, through the glass at the door, I saw that the outer room of the ward had changed.The outer room, which had been previously empty, now lay a desk.On the desk, there lay writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and inkstones.At this time, holding a brush in his hands, Kelvin was drawing on a piece of paper.With the doll in her arms, Jessica watched him on the side carefully.After standing outside for a while, I pushed the door open and went in.As soon as the door was pushed open, both of them looked at me at the same time, especially Jessica, whom I hadn't seen for two days. Looking as skinny as ever, she looked much better.Seeing me, she grinned.It meant that she remembered me.Her eyes looked clear and bright. And she didn't look like a patient at all.I walked over and held the bag in my hands, "Aunt Jessica, see what I brought to you."Without saying anythi

    Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H

    Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf

    I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

    I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

    The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

    Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

    I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

    There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,
