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
"I...I'm not sick. The woman in the video is indeed not me!" I nervously explained to Dave."Not you? Tell me, how can you prove the woman in the video isn't you?" Dave, who had an angry expression on his face, was in despair now. He continued, "I have been trying my best to convince myself that I shouldn't even care about that. You only have to take the anti exposure drugs. Why is it so difficult for you to do so?"Dave, who spoke in a low tone at the beginning, roared in anger in the end.He grabbed my shoulder so hard.I stared at him dully and opened my mouth but for a moment, I didn't know what to say.Yes, men all have possessive desires but Dave, still accepted me. He surely had made a great compromise.Dave stared at me, "Do you know? I've been telling myself that as long as we take the drugs together, we can start over again but what about you? What did you do?""I... Indeed...""It's enough!"Dave let go of my shoulder with one hand, took out the cell phone from his pocket,
The next day, my life was still the same. But in the evening, unexpectedly, Dave asked a makeup artist to help do his makeup at home. I could hear the servants talking behind the door. It seemed Dave was going out today.Jamin would celebrate his birthday today.If Dave isn't here, does it mean I can escape?When I was thinking about this, the door of the multimedia room suddenly opened with Dave standing at the door.He wore a black suit with his hair combed back. Due to the skillful makeup of the makeup artist, no one could see the pale look on his face.He looked at me and said, "Come out and change your clothes. I'll take you out.""What?" I was stunned"Is he going to take me there with him?"I pretended that I didn't know anything and asked him in a feigned daze, "Where are we going at such a late hour?"Dave lowered his eyes slightly and said word by word, "I have to go to my grandfather's birthday banquet. I won't be at ease leaving you at home alone so I have to take you the
My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,
Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw
Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m
Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou
Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a
A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he
After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something
Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave
I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
