Chapter 3 — Fireworks Don't Light the Way Back

"Once you press like, don't take it back, otherwise others will misunderstand Tinh Van if they see it."

“You left a comment, praising her for working hard these days, as a word of encouragement from us both.”

I thought for a moment, opened the comment box, and typed. *[Secretary Tong has worked hard, even the things that Mrs. Chu has no right to touch, you wear for me.]* After sending, I turned off the phone. Not long after, Chu Kinh Ngoc called again. I walked out into the hallway to pick up the phone. On the other end of the line came Tong Tinh Van's crying voice:

“Sister, I really didn't know you also liked this necklace…”

"I just think it's Mr. Chu's heart, if you don't accept it, it's not good. If you comment like that, how will people look at me in the future?"

Chu Kinh Ngoc also spoke coldly:

"Khuong Yen, do you know how many people in the company have misunderstood her? If you write these words, what kind of person will she be in the future?"

“So it proves that the company isn't full of idiots.”

His breathing deepened:

"When did you become so bitter? It wasn't easy for Tinh Van to get to this day by relying on his own strength. You don't work, you're raised by me, and you still want to insult a hard-working woman?"

I was about to speak up. But at this moment, the alarm on the heart monitor in my sister's room rang loudly! Realizing something was wrong, I immediately rushed into the hospital room. A group of doctors were surrounding the bed. My sister's face turned white, her oxygen tube fell to the side. The doctor saw me and said in a low voice:

“The patient manually removed the breathing tube, emergency treatment is being performed!”

My legs became weak, I rushed to the bed and cried:

“Sister, why are you so stupid…”

She opened her eyes with difficulty, her voice was weak and breathless:

"Yen Yen, don't cry... I won't treat you anymore... it's too painful."

“Just now... I heard you and Kinh Ngoc talking on the phone.”

“Don't waste any more money, I don't want to involve you anymore…”

I choked up and tried to shake my head.

"I won't let you give up! Don't worry about money, I will definitely make you well again!"

I trembled and dialed Chu Kinh Ngoc's number. As soon as the phone was connected, the sound was Tong Tinh Van's voice.

“Are you asking for money again?” She laughed softly. "Khuong Yen, just now when you humiliated me on social networks, why didn't you think about it now?"

“Now run here, kneel down and apologize, maybe I will consider it.”

The next second, Chu Kinh Ngoc's cold voice came from the other end of the line:

“Tinh Van is right, Khuong Yen, this is what you owe her.”

At the same time, the doctor turned to look at me with sad eyes.

"Miss Khuong, please bear your sorrow."

My mind immediately went blank, there was only ringing in my ears. The next second, there was suddenly a severe pain in the lower abdomen. A sharp, tearing pain swept through my whole body. I lowered my head and saw on the ground a pool of bright red blood slowly spreading. The nurse quickly came forward to help me.

“Are you pregnant?”

I nodded dumbly. My eyes suddenly went dark, I completely lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed. I whispered weakly: "I want to abort the pregnancy." The nurse was stunned for a moment: "Do I need to tell my family?" I smiled fully sarcastically, shaking his head:

“I have no family.”

My only family member is gone. After the surgery, I put my hand on my stomach, that place was empty, there would never be another child born. The nurse steps forward:

“Miss Khuong, while you were having surgery, the phone kept ringing.”

I picked up the phone, there were dozens of missed calls from Chu Kinh Ngoc. Immediately, a message popped up: *[Khuong Yen, I've been waiting for you for five hours.]*
