I just smiled, a tragic, despairing smile.
“Zach, you’re not mistaken.”
“The accident… took our child.”
The tablet fell to the ground, the screen
shattering.
Zach’s eyes and nose were bloodshot.
He let out animalistic howls of pain.
But I calmly watched him and pressed the call
button.
Security arrived and took Zach away, who was
clinging to me.
I only learned the details later.
The baby, I hadn’t even realized its existence.
It was gone forever.
The doctor said the abdominal injuries damaged
my uterus.
I could never have children again.
Kiki held my hand, her face filled with pity.
“It’s okay, Chloe, I’ll always be with you. We
won’t have kids, if we want kids, we’ll adopt
one together, today she’ll call you mom,
tomorrow she’ll call me mom…”
Kiki’s silly words made me laugh.
But as I laughed, tears streamed down my face.
I once held her hand, saying,
Kiki, don’t be afraid, let’s get married, let’s face
everything together.
But it was all in vain.
A message from Kiki popped up on my phone.
[I found out, Chloe, Rhonda hired someone to
cause the accident.]
I felt a strange sense of relief knowing the
truth.
