Chapter 8 — Love In The Cage

She only knew that it was To Vi Vi who revived Ta Lam Tieu's sick self-esteem, causing him to almost drag the entire Ta family into the mud. Therefore, she will not forgive To Vi Vi. As for Ta Lam Tieu, he stayed abroad for half a year but his leg still did not fully recover. When his mother-in-law welcomed him back, his whole body had lost a lot of weight and no longer had the noble and noble appearance as before. He sent me many emails. First apologize, then repent. Later, he only repeated one sentence over and over again. "Thu Sanh, I really know I was wrong." I never answered once. The day the baby was born, he waited outside the military hospital. He didn't rush in, nor did he continue to go crazy, he just stood from afar and took a look. When the nurse carried the baby out, his eyes immediately turned red. But his mother-in-law stopped him. "Don't go there. The person she doesn't want to see the most right now is you." Ta Lam Tieu stood in place, tears streaming down his face, and finally just nodded gently. I didn't let the child have the last name Ta, of course my mother-in-law was not happy. She came to see me once. I held my child and sat by the window, calmly looking at her. "The baby was born to me and raised by me." "If the Ta family wants to see the baby, they can follow the rules, but no one is allowed to make the decision for me." The mother-in-law was silent for a long time, but finally gave in. She still periodically transfers money, sends items, and arranges the best doctors and child care specialists. I don't refuse, that's what the baby deserves. But I won't give anything to the Ta family and put myself in it. Later, my father successfully underwent dialysis and his condition gradually stabilized. My mother is no longer the same as before, always worried about getting involved with me. She started learning to knit a small hat for the baby and learned to watch child-rearing videos on her phone. Sometimes she even blushed and said: "Thu Sanh, fortunately you have returned." I hugged my child, leaning on her shoulder. "Mom, in the future I will not let my parents suffer anymore." After my body recovered, I returned to work at the military research institute. At first, many people felt that I had been gone for too long, and that I had just given birth, so I wasn't sure I could adapt to the previous pace. But I didn't explain, I just buried my head in research. When the first military equipment project was successfully put into use, everyone in the research institute ran to congratulate me. The military region leader also directly rewarded me with a large sum of money. When I received the reward, my eyes turned red. I finally found myself again from a wrong love. After that, my father's condition became more and more stable. Mom also no longer has to lose sleep all night because of money. We moved into a house that wasn't too big. The balcony is filled with flowers, and in the living room there is soft carpet for the baby to practice crawling. Every day when I come home from work, as soon as I push the door open, I can hear my mother calling me from the kitchen to wash my hands and eat. You can also see the father holding the baby sitting by the window, slowly teaching him to call his mother. At that moment, I suddenly felt that the sufferings of the past were truly over. Ta Lam Tieu once made me think that love is an exam that needs to be constantly proven. But now I know that true love is that even though I don't need to be chosen by anyone, there is still someone standing firmly behind me.
