Chapter 326


    "Get out of my way." Theo pushed him away and asked me stubbornly, "Where''s the baby?"


    I opened my reddened eyes. "Didn’t you hear what he said?”


    "Where’s the baby?" Theo raised his voice.


    "Dead!" I endured the pain and said the word. "On the night you and Cindy were getting engaged,


    he did. He died in my womb.”


    Theo''s body shook for a second after he heard my answer.


    I could not help but cry. I thought I saw him crying too. I did not know if I was seeing things. How


    could Theo be crying?


    He was supposed to feel happy, right? From today onward, he could live happily together with


    Cindy. He would not be trapped with me because of the baby.


    My eyes were overcast with waves of darkness. I tugged on Matthew''s sleeve and said in a


    trembling voice, "I want to leave."


    I did not want to stay here for another second. I wouldpletely break down if I stayed here.


    Matthew saw that my face was as pale as a sheet of


    paper and my body was slightly shaking. He hurriedly carried me in his arms. "I''ll bring you back


    now."


    Back in the condominium, Matthew gave me some medicine. Half an hour after I took the medicine,


    my emotions were slowly stabilizing. Still, I felt weak and weary.


    "Ignore them." Matthew was holding a towel, wiping m y face for me. "They don''t deserve to stand in


    front of you. They''ve never deserved it and never will."


    I pursed my lips and burst into tears.


    Actually, I was the one who did not deserve to stand in front of them. I was unworthy from the


    beginning. The happy times that I had back then made me confused. Later on, the illusion of bliss


    was torn apart by Cindy. I could then see the insurmountable gap between Theo and me.

    My mind was in a mess. I could not fall asleep until it was one in the morning. Matthew refused to


    go back, iming that he was worried about me being alone. Hence, I did not insist on asking him


    to return.


    At two in the morning, Matthew picked up a phone call. Thepany needed him to handle some


    important affairs, so he had to go out. However, he was worried about me being alone at home. He


    called his personal assistant toe over and keep mepany.


    I rejected him immediately. "Don’t worry about me. I’ll call you if anything happens to me. I prefer to


    be alone


    now."


    When Matthew saw me insisting on this, he could only remind me to call him right away if anything


    happened. Then, he left in a hurry.


    The medicine that Matthew gave me was antidepressant pills. I knew that. Otherwise, my emotions


    would not have improved so quickly. Hence, my emotions were quite stable for this short while.


    The room was dimly lit. I grew sleepy as I stared at the ceiling.


    At this moment, a streak of light suddenly lit up the room, followed by a loud rumbling noise. Then,


    there came the sound of heavy rainfall hitting the window.


    I shut my eyes tight, trying to fall asleep. Still, I was wide awake.


    The sounds of thunder came one after another. My body started to tremble.


    Again, there was another crack of thunder. I got out of the bed and walked toward the closet,


    opening it. Then, I climbed into the closet.


    I could still hear the thunderp in my ears. I bit my finger, and my mind could not help but recall


    the nightmare that happened that night.


    The thin air made me gasp for air. I pushed the closet open and ran out of my bedroom. I paced up


    and down in the living room. I had no idea what I wanted to do.


    Just then, I could indistinctly hear a baby crying. My eyes brightened, and I ran toward the direction


    where the sound came from.
