C25 (2/2)

”Let me still advise you, don't hide this from Lina, don't let your marriage contain lies, it will become the grave of trust between husband and wife.”

On the surface, I cooperated with Lina to get pregnant, but every day, I would secretly eat Gendarussa.

Maybe Lina would never know about it in her entire life, maybe I can tell her the truth when the time comes.

Perhaps one day, we will be able to break the spell of fate.

”Why?”

Lina sat on the carpet and weakly closed her eyes.

”We've known each other for four years and we've been married for two. I've always thought I was lucky, that I found someone I loved to walk with for the rest of my life — but I'm not a fool. ”

”Every time I talk about children after marriage, your eyes flash. Only after having a career can one have a child. If one is too busy, they can be reborn later. If one has money, then we can talk about it later. I listened to every one of your excuses, but you never told me the real reason yourself. How I wish I could keep being silly and believe every lie you tell me — you read genetics secretly, you pretend to work late at night and not sleep — and I'll play a one-man show with you, I'm the one who pretends to be ignorant. ”

”I don't mind where we live, or what we eat or what we wear, or how much money you can make, or even if you tell me you can't have children, I won't leave you — but I do mind if you lie to me.”

Lina covered her face, tears flowing out from the gaps of her fingers.

”Why?”

Her voice changed from sobbing to wailing.

At this moment, I finally understood that Lina knew about it from the start.

At the same time that I was careful to hide my secret, I forgot how smart Lina was. She had been trying to convert me with trust, and I had hurt her by spreading a layer of salt over her wound.

Our marriage was riddled with holes because of a lie.

”Lina, I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. ”

Little by little, I organized my words. From the history of my clan's intermarriage to my childhood, to the freaks born from intermarriage, and after who knows how long, I told everything to Lina.

She looked up, and her expression changed from one of disbelief, to fear, to determination.

Lina walked over and gently hugged me. ”Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why do you have to bear all this alone? ”

I had been measuring this feeling with my cowardice, but I had underestimated her strength and courage.

”Now that science is so advanced, even if your family really does have an invisible genetic disease in their genes, it might not be impossible to cure it. We all have higher education, so even if we can't have our own children, we can still adopt … ”

Suddenly, Lina covered her mouth and rushed towards the toilet.

”Ugh …” Before Lina even got the chance to go to the washstand, waves of retching came out.

Something happened that neither of us could explain.

There were two bars on the pregnancy test.

Lina was pregnant.

Lina and I looked at each other. Could it be that the one percent probability of Gendarussa is on us?

”This is …” ”What's going on?” Lina was even more suspicious than me.

But now I don't care.

”Lina, we need to move immediately,” I said as I thought about the dream I just had.

”Maria was once the doctor of the Second World War German Fountain of Life farm. Maybe she's done some kind of anti-human experiment on himself, and we have to leave right now. ”

”Spring of Life... You're not talking about Hitler's superior national plan, are you? ” Lina obviously knew of this history.

”Perhaps she is no longer an ordinary human. In fact, other than her not feeling the boiling water, she might be able to manipulate people's subconscious through the dream.” I briefly told her about my nightmares, the Gypsy Woman and Johnson.

”This... How is that possible? ” Lina hesitated and said, ”But I didn't have a nightmare …”

”Do you remember the day when we first moved here and you said you dreamed we lived in a villa and had children of your own?”

”I remember.”

”I had the same dream with you that night. I suspect that she manipulated the dream. She must have known the fear in my heart in some way, so she designed your dream of giving birth to a monster to guide me to suicide. ”Although we don't know what her goal is, we must leave immediately …”

Ring, ring, ring. The phone at home rang.

”Hi, is this Mr. Shin?”

”It's me.”

”I'm Hans from the studio. Do you remember the film you used to wash yesterday? Those negatives were getting too wet, so I did my best to save them. There were a total of seven rolls, and only a few were saved in one volume, ”said a middle-aged man at the photographic office.

”The good news is that the film in your camera has been preserved quite well, and the quality of the picture is also quite good.”

”Uh, thank you. You can keep the camera.” I wasn't in the mood to talk to him. I wanted to hang up.

”Sir …” I don't know if I should say... These pictures are a bit strange, and I think you should take a look at them. ” The middle-aged uncle said.

”What is it?” Could it be the pictures of landscapes and animals that I found on the 610?

”No no no, it's a family photo,” the middle-aged man said, ”But …” I can't explain it over the phone. Why don't you come along. I'm about to close the door. ”

I thought about it for a moment. It was only fifteen minutes from my house to the photo studio. But to be safe, it's better for me to bring Lina along.

”But I haven't packed up my things yet. I need to keep my things for at least half an hour. And, ”Lina looked at me with some hesitation.

”If Maria is really like you said, he will be in danger too … I saw him in the afternoon full of wounds... Do we really not need to call the police? ”

I frowned. Alpha, although I feel that there is something wrong with this child, he is still a child. If he really is the victim and we threw him away, then he will probably be able to escape Maria's clutches for the rest of his life.

”... How about this, I'll go get the photos. I will come back to resolve Alpha's problem. ” I shoved the gun into Lina's hands. ”Remember, do not open the door for anyone but me. You must wait for me to come home! ”

Lina nodded.
