Chapter 17 — Ex-Wife Reincarnated

“I told you to go away!” Luc Than Vu screamed, "It's all because of you! If it wasn't for you, Van Van wouldn't have left! My child wouldn't have died!"

Ly Hieu Vi's face turned pale. “Than Vu… how can you say that… The baby is yours…”

“My child is dead!” Luc Than Vu's eyes were bloodshot, "For you guys! For me!"

Ly Hieu Vi took a step back, the umbrella fell to the ground, rain poured down on her, soaking her dress.

"Luc Than Vu..." Her voice trembled, "I'm pregnant with your child... and you treat me like that?"

Luc Than Vu ignored her and continued to look at me. "Van Van... let's start from the beginning... I will chase Ly Hieu Vi away... No need for this baby anymore... Let's start again..." Ly Hieu Vi screamed: "Luc Than Vu! You dare!"

“What do I not dare to do!” Luc Than Vu stood up, "I've had enough! I have to watch you act every day! Listen to you nagging every day! Damn I've had enough!"

Ly Hieu Vi stared wide-eyed, not daring to believe it. “You… you said I was acting?”

“Isn't that right?” Luc Than Vu sneered, "You think I don't see your petty tricks?"

“I just love you—”

“Love?” Luc Than Vu interrupted, "What you love is Mrs. Luc's position! It's the Luc family's money!"

Ly Hieu Vi trembled all over. “Okay… okay… Luc Than Vu, you're very good.” She turned around, intending to leave. Suddenly, my foot slipped. “Ah—” She fell to the ground, clutching her stomach. "It hurts so much... Than Vu... my stomach hurts so much..." Luc Than Vu was stunned and turned back to look at her. Ly Hieu Vi's face was as pale as paper. “I… I…” Under her body, rainwater dyed a light red color. Luc Than Vu panicked. “Hieu Vi!” He rushed forward and picked her up. "Hold on! I'll take you to the hospital!" He carried Ly Hieu Vi and ran out quickly. As he passed me, he paused for a moment. “Van Van…” He looked at me, his eyes complicated, “Wait until I get home… let's talk…” I didn't say anything, watching him run away, get in the car, and speed away. The rain is still falling. I stood alone in the rain, soaked all over, cold and shivering. But inside, it's even colder. The scene just now was exactly like a comedy. And I, like a spectator.

“Have you seen enough?” Tham Dinh Uyen's voice came from behind.

I turned around. He stood at the door, covered with a black umbrella.

“That's enough.” I said.

“Come in.” He said, “You'll catch a cold.”

I didn't move.

“To Van,” He stepped forward and placed the umbrella over my head, “Don't hurt yourself.”

I looked into his eyes, clean, quiet, like the only stop in this rain.

“Why did you help me?” I asked again.

“Because your eyes look at the rain,” He said, “It's like wanting to drown yourself.”

I froze, then laughed. “Is it okay?”

“Yes.”

He took off his coat and put it on me. "Let's go." I followed him into the house. Warm. Light. Binh An ran over and rubbed my feet. “Woof~” I squatted down and hugged it. The dog is very warm, has shaggy fur, like a salvation. Tham Dinh Uyen took me to the guest room. “Go take a hot bath.” He said, “The clothes are in the closet, they're new.” "Thank." I went into the bathroom and took off my wet clothes. The person in the mirror is pale, haggard, eyes swollen, just like a ghost. I ran hot water and rinsed it for a long time until my skin turned red before I stepped out. Change into the clothes you prepared: white sweater, gray pants, very soft, very warm. Opening the door, Tham Dinh Uyen was waiting outside, holding a cup of ginger tea in her hand. “Drink it.” I took it and drank it one sip at a time. Spicy, but warm.

“Thank you.” I said again.

“Don't keep saying thank you.” He sat down on the sofa, "Sit down."

I sat down, Binh An jumped onto my lap and lay down.

“He really likes you.” Tham Dinh Uyen said.

“Yes.”

“About just now,” He hesitated, “Do you need any help?”
