Chapter 4 — I Missed The Day My Child Was Born

I dialed that phone number.

“Hello, I'm Detective Vuong.”

The voice of a middle-aged man was heard on the other end of the line.

“Detective Wang, I would like to ask you to investigate someone.”

“Please explain the specific situation.”

I briefly summarize the story of Tran Chi Vien and To Uyen.

"I got it."

Detective Vuong said.

“We encounter a lot of cases like this.”

“Don't worry.”

“We will give you a result quickly.”

“About how long?”

“If there really is a problem between them.”

“It can take at most a week to get evidence.”

“Then I'll bother you.”

After hanging up. I feel a little more relieved. I don't need to keep thinking to myself anymore. Soon. I will get the answer. Afternoon. Mother and mother-in-law returned from the market. The two of them bought a lot of things. Green vegetables. Along with a lot of nutritious food.

“Hieu Vu, look what mom bought for you.”

Mom took out a box of bird's nests.

“This is very good for pregnant women.”

“I even asked your mother-in-law to help you choose.”

“The family is too polite.”

Mother-in-law was a bit embarrassed.

“This is all the right thing to do.”

Look at the two older people who are busy first and second because of me. I was deeply moved in my heart. Although Tran Chi Vien disappointed me. But at least. I still have relatives who love me.

“You two, sit down and rest for a while.”

“Let me cook.”

I was about to stand up.

"Sit down!"

The two of them were almost in unison.

“I just got out of the hospital.”

“How can I go to the kitchen?”

Mom held me back.

“Let me and your mother-in-law do it.”

"That's right."

Mother-in-law also said.

“Your job now is to breastfeed and rest.”

Look at the figures of two people busy in the kitchen. I feel extremely warm inside. Even without Tran Chi Vien. We can still live very well. Come to dinner. My mother-in-law makes braised pork, which I like best. Mom stewed chicken soup.

“Hieu Vu, eat more.”

My mother-in-law brought me food.

“I'm breastfeeding.”

“You must have adequate nutrition.”

“Thank you, mom.”

I called her "mom". Her eyes immediately turned red.

“No matter what happens to Chi Vien.”

“You will always be my good daughter-in-law.”

My mother-in-law held my hand.

“This child is the blood of the Tran family.”

"I won't let you and your mother suffer."

I nodded slightly. Heart filled with emotion. Finished eating. The mother-in-law proactively offered to stay and help take care of the baby.

“Hieu Vu, please let me stay.”

“Mom, there's no need.”

"From now on, mom is old enough to take care of children very hard."

“Not extreme.”

“Mom likes it.”

Mother-in-law holds the baby in her arms. Eyes full of love.

“Moreover, Chi Vien is not home.”

“How can I manage alone?”

“There's still me.”

My mother spoke up.

“I can stay a few more days.”

“That's even better.”

Mother-in-law smiled and said.

“Let's take care of mother and child together.”

Watching two elders discuss about me and the baby. In my heart, I was both touched and apologetic. They could have enjoyed their old age. But because of Tran Chi Vien's irresponsibility, he had to work so hard. I lie on the bed. Listen to the very soft noises coming from the next room. The mother and mother-in-law take turns taking care of the baby. Afraid it will affect my sleep. I picked up the phone. Open Tran Chi Vien's WeChat. His profile picture is still gray. Show times Last online was three days ago. I opened his circle of friends. The latest post is still photos in Sanya. Below are many likes and comments from colleagues and friends.

“So admirable.”

“Really romantic vacation.”

“You really know how to enjoy life.”

Look at those comments. I am more certain with my thoughts. A man. It is possible to post such kind of status at that exact time. That proves he never put me and the child in his heart. I turned off my friends circle. Send Detective Vuong a WeChat message:

“Detective Vuong, how is the investigation going?”

He replied:

“Miss Lam, we have made some progress.”

"The relationship between your husband and Ms. To Uyen is truly unusual."

“We took some pictures.”

“Tomorrow I can send you the preliminary investigation results.”

Saw that message. My heart felt like it was sinking to the bottom of the abyss. Even though I was mentally prepared in advance. But when it's really confirmed. I still feel extreme pain. Three years of marriage. Will it really end like that? I looked at the night sky outside the window. Silently making a decision in my heart. If Tran Chi Vien had chosen to betray. So I don't need to continue stubbornly with this marriage anymore. Also for myself. I have to start again.
