Chapter 37


    Lance looked at me and thought for a while, then asked: “You like kids?”


    I was stunned once again. I didn’t understand why he would ask me this question so suddenly


    “I can’t say I like or don’t like, you don’t have a choice when ites to being a parent one day.” This


    was my answer.


    But true enough, I can’t say I like nor doesn’t like kids. Maybe if one day I get my own child, I might


    know my own answer.


    “Weren’t you pregnant before, how could you say you’ve never been a mother?” Lance’s face turned


    dark.


    I waspletely confused, why was he acting so strange?


    “Then if you said it like that, you were once a father too. Anyments? Do you like kids?” I asked


    back angrily.


    Lance was shocked by my response and question. He paused for a brief moment and moved his lips.


    Then he said: “Then it would depend on who’s the mother of my child.”


    I got what he meant. He meant, if the child was given birth by Jennie Gomez, then of course he


    wouldn’t like kids.


    I’m not stupid.


    I stopped talking to him to prevent embarrassing myself any further. I looked up at my drip-feeding


    tube. Good, it was almost done. I pressed on the bell on my bench.


    One more small tube and I could leave this man alone.


    The nurse changed a new one for me and before she leave, she nced at Lance again.


    However, Lance didn’t even look at the nurse, she seemed a little disappointed.


    I searched for a novel from the web and started reading. This way, I could forget about the man sitting


    beside me.


    Lance stopped watching the show and asked me: “Can I look through your album in your phone?”


    My eyes opened wide and I stared at him, how the hell did he be a gentleman out of a sudden?


    “If I say no, would you not?” I asked.


    “Of course I will.” he shrugged his shoulder.


    I rolled my eyes and said: “Then why even bother to ask?”


    *Jennie, aren’t you getting braver and braver everyday? Since when did you have the guts to speak to


    me like that?” he must have noticed my bad attitude and eye-rolling. Did he felt challenged by a low


    worker?


    “How do you want me to treat you? Should i have taken off my clothes and let the old man rape mest


    night?” I asked him back. I still couldn’t let that incident off. I couldn’t get over it. To be honest, I felt that


    I’m a cruel person, not to others, to myself. I kept hurting myself on the same wound again and again.


    Lance face turned very pale, like he just saw a ghost.


    A nurse called out suddenly. “Sir, your drip is done, why didn’t you press the bell?”


    The nurse’s question got rid of our awkward atmosphere.


    After changing to a new tube, Lance stopped looking or talking to me.


    I was done with mine and I stood up to leave but was stopped by Lance. “Wait for me, I’m going to be


    done soon.”


    He already requested can I say no? I stayed and waited for him.


    When he was done with his, the nurse that kept ncing at him came over and blushed when she saw


    his face. “Sir, can I get to know you?”

    Lance looked at the nurse, put one hand around my shoulder and answered the nurse warmly: “Sorry,


    my girlfriend here gets jealous easily. She doesn’t like it when I make female friends.”


    I looked at the blushing nurse, then looked at Lance’s fake smile. I felt grossed out.


    But what the hell? Girlfriend?
