Chapter 8 — I Missed The Day My Child Was Born

Start a new life on your own. Speak without fear. But I know. I definitely have to be strong. Also for myself. The next morning. Tieu Ly came home. Bring a draft divorce agreement.

“You should try it.”

“If there's anything that needs fixing, let me know.”

Tieu Ly said. I carefully read from beginning to end. The agreement is written in great detail. My son will be directly raised by me. Tran Chi Vien must pay three thousand yuan in alimony every month. The house belongs to Tran Chi Vien. But he must compensate me two hundred thousand yuan. There is also one hundred thousand yuan in compensation for mental damage.

“Is that reasonable?”

“Very reasonable.”

Tieu Ly replied.

“Considering he had an affair.”

“This condition is already very lenient.”

“So be it.”

I signed it down.

"Next."

“Just wait for Tran Chi Vien to come back and sign.”

Tieu Ly said.

“Can you still contact him?”

“His phone is always turned off.”

“Then let's wait.”

Tieu Ly smiled faintly.

“He has to go back anyway.”

Afternoon. I received a call from an unknown number.

“Hello, may I ask if you are Ms. Lam Hieu Vu?”

"That's right."

“May I ask who you are?”

“I am a nurse at Sanya City People's Hospital.”

“There is a patient named Tran Chi Vien.”

“In his phone, you are the emergency contact.”

My heart tightened slightly.

“What's wrong with him?”

“Last night he drove after drinking.”

“There was a traffic accident.”

“Currently being treated at our hospital.”

“Is the situation serious?”

"Fracture."

“Along with a mild concussion.”

“Not too serious.”

“But you need to stay in the hospital for more monitoring.”

I was silent for a few seconds.

"Alright."

"I know."

“Thank you.”

After hanging up.

"What's up?"

“Tran Chi Vien had a car accident.”

“In hospital in Sanya.”

I calmly replied. Mother-in-law heard. Hurry step forward.

“Is it serious?”

“The nurse said it wasn't too serious.”

“Fracture with mild concussion.”

“So should we visit it?”

Mother-in-law asked worriedly. I shook my head.

"No need."

“Beside him, there is To Uyen.”

“There's no need for us.”

“But…”

Mother-in-law still wants to say something.

“From the moment he chose to betray this family.”

“He must bear the consequences.”

I looked at her.

“I still have to take care of the baby.”

“There's no time to worry about him.”

My mother-in-law looked at me for a long time. In the end, nothing more was said. To Uyen called.

“Lin Xiaoyu.”

“You know that Mr. Chi Vien had an accident, right?”

Her voice was extremely panicked. I replied coldly.

“So why don't you come visit him?”

“Now he really needs his family by his side.”

“Family?”

I laughed coldly.

“Does he still consider me family?”

“Lin Xiaoyu.”

“No matter what, you two are still husband and wife.”

"That's right."

“So I have prepared a divorce agreement.”

I said calmly.

“Wait for him to come home.”

“Just sign it.”

“Do you really want a divorce?”

To Uyen's voice trembled.

"Of course."

“I think this isn't what you always wanted?”

“Now you have your wish.”

“But…”

“But now Mr. Chi Vien has become like this…”

“Now you don't want him anymore?”

I quipped.

“Didn't you say that just now?”

“Is he definitely going to marry you?”

To Uyen immediately fell silent.

“I teach you a morality.”

I said slowly.

“When a man has money and power.”

“A lot of women would want to be with him.”

“But once he fell out of favor.”

“The person still remains.”

“It's the one who truly loves him.”

“I… of course I love him.”

To Uyen stammered in response.

“Then take good care of him.”

After I finished speaking, I hung up. Put the phone down. I feel much more relieved. Tran Chi Vien had an accident. I should have been worried. So it's heartbreaking. But I found out. I don't have any feelings in my heart. Love for him. Dead from the moment I walked into that delivery room alone. My feelings for him are truly dead. Three days later. Finally, Tran Chi Vien also returned. At that time, I was sitting in the living room changing my baby's diaper. Heard the sound of a key opening the door. Mom and mother-in-law are both in the kitchen preparing dinner. The whole house is filled with the aroma of food. The door opened. Tran Chi Vien walked in on crutches. Left leg in cast. There was also a gauze bandage on his forehead. It looks extremely difficult. He stood at the door. Quietly watching the scene in the living room. I sat on the sofa holding my baby. On the tea table are placed milk bottles and baby diapers. The TV is playing soft music.
