Chapter 2 — I Used To Love You To Exhaustion

She studied for a Master's degree. Huo Canh Xuyen and Co Thanh Nguyet gave birth to Huo Than, and Huo's parents finally accepted that marriage. Then, Huo Canh Xuyen and Co Thanh Nguyet divorced. After falling in love passionately for a while, Hoc Canh Xuyen seemed tired and accepted the joint venture marriage arranged by his parents, only asking that his wife be able to take good care of Hoo Than. Without hesitation, Kieu Van Ngoc chose to marry him. At that time, her mother advised: "The Huo family has high demands on their daughters-in-law. Huo Canh Xuyen has a wife and a child. If you marry there, your life will not be easy."

"Our Kieu family doesn't need you to get married, so why do you insist on going?"

Because I like him. Kieu Van Ngoc did not say this, she just blinked her bright eyes and said to her mother: "As long as you truly treat him and his children well, they will definitely accept you." But later, during three years of marriage. Hoac Than hates her very much. Hoac Canh Xuyen forced him to change his address, he rolled on the ground crying loudly: "She's not my mother! She's my third child! She's an evil woman! I don't want her to be my mother!" Kieu Van Ngoc had to console herself that children do not understand, then tried her best to treat them well. But he still dumped all the food she cooked into the trash, cried and tantrums when she didn't give him snacks. She even went around proclaiming that Kieu Van Ngoc was just her housemaid, not Mrs. Hoac at all. One time, the teacher called to report that Hoac Than had disappeared, Kieu Van Ngoc frantically ran everywhere to look for him. Just when she was about to call the police, Co Thanh Nguyet took Hoac Than's hand back.

“Mom just took me out for a while, why are you acting like a crazy woman?” Hoac Than glared at her in annoyance.

Kieu Van Ngoc took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger: "It's okay to go out, but why didn't you let me know?"

"I just didn't tell you! It'll make you angry!" It sticks out its tongue and makes a devil face.

Co Thanh Nguyet stood next to him and reconciled: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hoac, I already told Canh Xuyen, he probably forgot to tell you." Huo Canh Xuyen clearly knew about this, but he left her worried and panicked. The thread of reason in Kieu Van Ngoc's head suddenly broke. That was the first time she shouted to Hoac Than: "It's fun to see me frantically worried! Do you know I'm very worried about you!" Hoac Than was stunned, opened his mouth wide and burst into tears. No one could console him, eventually alarming Hoac's parents. They hugged their precious grandchild and coldly forced Kieu Van Ngoc to kneel down the street. Kieu Van Ngoc refused, so they immediately sent bodyguards to drag her inside. From the street after locking the door it was extremely dark and cold. Kieu Van Ngoc suffered from fear of confined spaces. She quickly felt short of breath, her hands trembling and she called Hoac Canh Xuyen.

“Brother, save me…”

Hearing this call, the person on the other end of the line froze for a moment. A female voice interrupted: "Canh Xuyen, this birthday, shall we go on a trip to Hainan with Than Than?" Huo Canh Xuyen hummed a few words, but when talking to Kieu Van Ngoc, he was a little impatient: "Okay, don't make trouble anymore."

"I heard about Than Than's story, it was you who was wrong, please review it in the temple."

“Be good, I'll let you go when you get back.”

But for a whole day he never came back. Kieu Van Ngoc began to suffocate, her heart beat erratically, and her stomach ached. She knocked on the door in vain, but no one paid attention to her. Very quickly, her world fell into darkness. When she woke up, she was at the hospital. The doctor informed her that she had lost her first child.

"Van Ngoc... we will still have children." Hoo Canh Xuyen hugged her, his voice trembling slightly.

Kieu Van Ngoc opened her mouth.
