Chapter 14 — Hundred Million in Exchange for Freedom

The surgery went smoothly. 1 hour 07 minutes. Three children, two boys and a girl. The eldest brother, the second brother and the youngest daughter. Everyone's cries echoed loudly. As the nurse brought each child in front of me, tears welled up in my eyes. Tiny. Wrinkled, red, looking like three little monkeys. But it's beautiful. So beautiful.

"Congratulations Ms. To, all three babies are very healthy." The surgeon smiled.

“Thank you, doctor.” My voice was hoarse, choked with happiness.

When Ha Lo was allowed inside and saw the three children, she cried even louder than me.

“Huhuhuhuu so cute! To Duong you are so amazing!!”

I smiled at her and casually asked: "Where is the person outside?" Ha Lo wiped her tears, her expression changing from emotion to contempt in just a blink of an eye: "Still sitting in the hallway. The nurse won't let me in. Just walking back and forth like ants crawling in a hot pan."

“Does he know yet?”

"Know what? About the three of you?"

“Yes.”

Ha Lo shook her head: "Probably not. The nurse didn't say, I didn't say either. He only knew that you had surgery today."

“Good.” I nodded. “Let him know.”

Ha Lo froze: "Are you sure?" I looked at the three tiny dough balls sleeping soundly in the crib and burst out laughing.

“Sure. Let him know that he personally signed away the three children. Let him digest it himself.”

Ha Lo's eyes glowed brightly. She turned around and was about to leave. Halfway there, she turned around and asked, "Are you saying it outright?"

“There's no need to say it so bluntly.” I thought about it, "You just say - Mom is round and her children are square, and the children are all safe."

The corner of Ha Lo's mouth slowly raised an evil smile.

“CHILDREN.”

“Correct. Emphasis on the word ‘THE’.”

Ha Lo took a deep breath, adjusted her face, pushed open the operating room door and walked out. I heard her shrill voice outside —

"Mr. Tran, right? To Duong told me to let you know. The surgery was very successful. Mother and children are all safe."

It was silent outside for a blink of an eye. Then —

“YOU?” Tran Dien's voice sounded like someone had strangled him. “You said — CHILDREN?”

“That's right.” Ha Lo's voice carried a sarcastic smile, "It's triplets, two boys and a girl. Congratulations, Mr. Tran. Oh that's not right, you two are divorced, it seems I shouldn't congratulate you. So, sorry for bothering you."

The hallway was quiet for a very, very long time. It was so long that I thought that person was gone. Then I heard a dull sound — A punch slammed into the wall. Next was the nurse's panicked voice: "Dear! Please calm down! This is a hospital!" I closed my eyes, the corner of my mouth curled up slightly. Tran Dien. Three children. Three descendants of the Tran family. He signed it with his own hand. Combo package costs 100 million. Average 33 million yuan per child. It's so good for you. I clenched my fists, looking at the three small cotton balls. Go to sleep. From today, you only have mom. Mother alone is enough. 【Chapter 12】 The day of discharge from the hospital was beautiful and sunny. I sat in a wheelchair, the three children were carried one by one by the nanny, Ha Lo and a nurse. When the powerful army pushed the car out of the dormitory door — A black Maybach parked right in front of the hospital gate. The car door opens. Tran Dien walked down. This time he was dressed very neatly. Dark gray vest, buttoned all the way to the neck. But his face looks extremely bad. Worse than the last time I saw him. Dark circles are dark, cheeks are sunken. It looked like he had been starving for several days. Standing next to him was another person. Luu Thuy Lan. The ex-mother-in-law carried a large pile of things used for newborns - all brand name products, complete sets, blue and red roses piled on the ground. Her eyes glared at the three diapers in the hands of the nurse and Ha Lo. His eyes shone with an almost crazy desire.

“You three… Really three of you…” She muttered.

I sat in a wheelchair, not moving. Tran Dien stepped forward, his steps were quick but restrained. Stopped two meters away from me. He looked at me. Look at the three diapers again.
