Chapter 5 — Husband's Will

Before I could think clearly, my phone suddenly vibrated. An anonymous account sent me some documents. I pressed open, my heart pounded when I realized it was a conversation history between Ky Le Chu and Quan Thuan Nguyet many years ago. The time… long before I knew him. The second volume — is Quan Thuan Nguyet's medical records. She... is completely unable to have children. As if possessed by a ghost, I continued to open the third episode. It's a recording. That cold, rational voice was so familiar that it seemed to be engraved deep into my bones. Ky Le Chu said:

"The seal of the will must be handled carefully. This is the guarantee I give Thuan Nguyet. She doesn't feel safe, I have to let her know - everything that is mine, is hers."

"As for Giang Tinh Ngu... she's just the person who blocked a knife for me. Being the wife of the Ky family for seven years, that's enough payment. Moreover, she can also give birth to my child."

"Thuan Nguyet likes children. If the child resembles her three times, even better."

"After giving birth, if Tinh Ngu is obedient and doesn't cause trouble, you can give her a sum of money to live in peace. But if she keeps wanting to make a fuss... don't blame me for not respecting her."

The recording stopped there. I felt like someone had hit me in the head with a hammer, my brain was completely blank. Tears flowed uncontrollably, my whole body felt cold. It turns out... everything was exactly as I predicted. He approached me — it was calculated. Marry me — because you were forced. The fact that I risked my life to block the knife for him was just a burden and trouble in his eyes. Even seven years as the Ky family's wife was enough to "pay back the favor". My heart felt like it was being crushed, I rushed straight to the bathroom and vomited. This time it's not because of pregnancy. It's because of nausea. I'm sick of this marriage - from the beginning it was a pre-planned game. Nauseated because my sincerity... was given to the wrong person. I vomited until only sour water and tears remained. Leaning against the wall, my waist hurt so much that I couldn't stand up straight. I tremblingly picked up the phone and removed Ky Le Chu's number from the blocked list. I called him, my voice strangely calm:

“Ky Le Chu, you really want this baby, right?”

The other end of the line was silent for a second. Then came a cold voice mixed with anger:

“What are you planning to do?”

I burst out laughing, the laughter getting louder and louder. Until I couldn't laugh anymore, I slowly said each word:

"This baby, I will never have it in my life."

After speaking, I didn't give him a chance to answer - immediately hung up. I took the SIM card out of my phone, then walked out. Taking a taxi, I went to a private clinic located deep in a remote alley. The clinic signs "postpartum care", but actually provides many "special services". For example — give me a new identity, a different life. That year, in order to find the location where Ky Le Chu was kidnapped, I searched every relationship in Hai Thanh, and that's how I learned about the existence of this clinic. Because of him... I knew this place. Because of him... I decided to disappear from this world, right here. A week later, I seemed to have evaporated from the world, with absolutely no trace left. Even though Ky Le Chu used all kinds of methods to inquire about my whereabouts, he was still absolute I couldn't believe it - I would choose to disappear in such a cruel way. News about a private clinic catching fire quickly climbed to the top of searches. The news said that the person who died was a pregnant woman. The body was severely charred, the identity is still being verified. At the scene, only a handmade ring was found, with the words "JLZ" engraved on the inside. It was the ring I personally designed to marry him. As for me now - neatly disguised, holding a new ID, stepping on the plane. Looking at the floating white clouds and deep blue sky outside the window, I gently placed my hand on my stomach and smiled softly:

“Darling, don't be afraid.”

“I will take you away from this place and start a new life.”

Mom will give you... the most beautiful future.
