C17 (1/2)

The red Mercedes-Benz, faster than the cars in front of it, turned into the narrow alley like a flash of lightning.

This was the residential district, and there were many pedestrians taking a walk. Clothes were hung between the buildings. People screamed and fled. The sheets on the clothesline flapped in the wind and landed on the roof of the car.

Zhao Yelin was lying with her back to Huo Yelin, holding her stomach with one hand and slapping his thigh with the other. I'm going to puke. ”

Huo Yelin glanced at her and slowed down his car. He said softly, ”We'll be there in a while.”

For the first time, Zhao Yilin heard that there was no hostility in his voice. There was even a trace of comfort in his tone. She lowered her head and stopped talking.

Looking at her small movements, he could only endure the pain.

Huo Yelin gripped the steering wheel with both hands as he stared straight ahead. The pedestrians, streets and tall buildings all transformed into rapid silhouettes. That woman appeared in his mind once again without a sound.

She was always very silent, minding her own business and walking in front. No matter how others shouted, she never turned her head back.

”Mom, wait for me. Lin Lin is tired.”

”Mom, I'm hungry.”

”Mom, Lin Lin is so cold, hug me.”

But no matter how he called, the woman had been doing her own thing, walking in front of him, knitting a sweater, cooking, as if deaf, refusing to even look back at him.

In the end, he simply stopped calling and quickened his pace to follow her. He went to the refrigerator to find something to eat and took out the blanket to cover himself.

Neither his mother on TV nor his friend's mother was like this. Perhaps he had done something wrong, or perhaps she wasn't his mother at all.

Zhao Yilin moved her body, and the blood on the bottom of her skirt dried up. He reached out and gently touched her leg. At the end of the blood, in her stomach, there was a helpless little self.

”It will be fine.”

Zhao Yilin heard him and opened her eyes. She sat up and looked at him.

At this moment, the car slowly came to a stop in front of the hospital. Huo Yelin undid his seat belt and opened the car door. She suddenly took his hand, ”Wait, I have something to tell you.”

”Let's see the doctor first.” Huo Yelin pried open her hand and opened the car door. Suddenly, he heard an apologetic voice.

”I'm sorry, I'm not pregnant.”

Huo Yelin's hand that was about to open the door stopped moving. He turned around and coldly looked at the blood stains between her legs.

Zhao Yilin knew what he was going to ask, so she rubbed his legs and said, ”It's fake. I hid a blood bag inside.”

”Do you know what you're talking about?” Huo Yelin gripped the car door tightly as his mind buzzed. Blood was gushing out from his four limbs to his heart.

”Got it.” Zhao Yilin replied calmly.

”Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?”

”Got it.” She knew perfectly well that cheating this man would not end well.

Huo Yelin got on the car, slammed the door, and held onto the steering wheel without saying a word.
