Chapter 4 — Oan Gia lost his mind, became husband and wife

I slightly curled my lips and gave a forced smile, my voice also carrying a bit of bitterness: "It's about a hundred million." "Now that you're awake, I don't have to pretend anymore. Everything between us is over. If I know that you go out and talk about my private matters, I will absolutely not forgive you." We are mortal enemies, so we should remain enemies. Those three months of "husband and wife lovemaking" were, after all, just a misunderstanding after losing memory. “When did you regain your memory?” Lam So Than suddenly asked. "Since my mother came to pick me up. What about you? Have you really lost your mind?" “Yes. But when I jumped out of the car, I remembered.” He laughed softly, as if mocking himself: "At that time, I almost believed that you were really my wife. But then I thought about it again... How could you be my wife? I must have been dreaming. If Miss Nam hadn't chased me with a knife, I would have burned incense to thank her!" He paused for a moment, looking straight into my eyes: "I want to ask you a question: have you ever — even just for a moment — really considered me your husband?" I clenched my fist, trying to control my trembling heart, forcing out a cold smile: "What are you asking? I didn't slap you a few times because you compensated me generously! Go quickly, your family is waiting down there!" Lam So Than did not say anything more. Just quietly walked past me, step by step, then tilted his head back - pursed his lips, used his mouth to whisper a few words. I saw clearly — “You are so heartless and meaningless.” At that moment, I felt something stabbed straight into my chest. No bleeding, but pain makes it difficult to breathe. I didn't speak, just stood quietly, letting the dull pain gnaw away little by little. 14 Evening. "Please correct me, the news that Lam So Than is living in my house is completely fake news, it is not true!" I went to my family's spa, the sisters also gathered there. "I knew it right away! No matter how good you are, you can't make the young master of the Lam family come to be your son-in-law!" “I almost believed it, it scared me!” “Khanh Khanh, you two have been missing for the past few months, where have you been?!” The whole group gathered around and questioned me non-stop. "A place where hell, the whole village lives on fishing, there's not even a phone. I've been there selling fish for several months, my skin is already dark, and as soon as I get home, I have to urgently get a facial treatment." "Sorry, Khanh Khanh! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have invited you to go on a cruise that day, I almost killed you!" Kieu Tich - the owner of the yacht that day, approached me with a face full of guilt. Actually, she has been under a lot of pressure lately, because she "lost" the young master of the Lam family and the eldest lady of the Nam family - both families almost wanted to peel her skin off. I saw that her spirit was worse than mine, so instead I had to comfort her: "This is not your fault. If you're to blame, blame that Lam So Than guy whose legs slipped and his hands shook, causing me to fall into the sea! Don't mention it again, it's very unlucky!" "Luckily you're okay... I thought I would never see you again..." Kieu Tich hugged me, crying like rain. "Come on, don't cry. I know it's not your fault. Let's not go on a cruise anymore, it's too dangerous!" I suddenly remembered something: "Tich Tich, you were with us that day, did you know that Lam So Than was following?" chase anyone away? Kieu Tich wiped her tears, frowned and looked at me: "Who?" She was more confused than I was. “You don't know who it is?” “I agree. As soon as he set sail that day, he and Lam So Than went up on deck to discuss business matters. I saw that the two of you were talking too seriously, so I told others not to bother you. Unexpectedly, we later discovered two people falling into the water. We quickly tried to save them, but the waves were too strong, so we could only watch as the two people were swept away. We called the police and mobilized people to search for several months. Finally, we got some information from a fish seller and found you." “So who does Lam So Than intend to pursue? Who knows?” I turned to ask the other four sisters, everyone shook their heads like a drum. Looks like the person who knows him the most... is me? No way... He's not really going to pursue me, is he? That's... impossible! I lay on the spa bed, trying to get the confusing thoughts out of my head. At that moment, I glanced at the bottle of body skin care essence in the spa specialist's hand. “Wait!” I immediately sat up, waved her closer and whispered: "This... can pregnant women use it?" "Yes, it's all extracted from natural herbs, very safe." She replied smiling. “Okay… change me to fresh milk.” I sighed. I still don't know what to do with the pregnancy in my belly... Leave it? Thinking about it makes me feel... heartbroken. Born? I don't know if my dad will fire fireworks to congratulate me or break my legs! 15 Thinking back and forth, I finally decided to tell Lam So Than. Love can be fake, husband and wife can also be fake - but the child in my belly is real. Before going to bed, I called him again. The phone rang three times before being picked up. “My family has already agreed to compensate one hundred million, what else do you want?” His voice was filled with anger and restraint. I didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I'm pregnant." What do you think?” "Huh?" There was a sound of surprise on the other end of the phone, followed by a long period of silence. “…Mine?” Lam So Than asked as if he was not sure. “Do you want to die?” I shouted, so angry that my hands shook. “Okay don't be angry, let me think a bit.” He quickly got into the water, seemingly still trying to suppress his joy. “Are you going to keep it?” "I haven't decided yet, just called to let you know first." “So can I come see you now? We talk directly.” “No, I'm about to sleep. Tomorrow, go to the hospital.” I hung up the phone and let out a long breath. Finally able to talk about it... the rest, we have to meet to discuss. Between me and Lam So Than, the biggest problem is: our two families have been fighting for too long - so long that it makes me suddenly remember the elementary school days when I studied with him. … In elementary school, my brother and I attended the same school. When we were still children, we didn't know what hatred adults had towards each other, but my brother and I often played together: chasing cats and dogs, doing all sorts of crazy things. One time, the two angered an angry dog and were bitten by it until they had to be hospitalized. I will never forget that time - 5 vaccinations, and I cried exactly 5 times. What's even worse is that every time I get an injection, I run into him, because we were both bitten at the same time, so the injection schedule overlaps. Every time I cried, he would stand next to me and laugh, laughing so much that I wanted to punch him. After that, when the two families met, it seemed like they were arguing. From then on, we rarely played together anymore. As I grew older, I understood clearly - our two families were rivals in the marketplace, competing for projects, fiercely competing to the point of no end. Perhaps... between you and I, everything stems from a long misunderstanding. But actually, I... never really hated you. Childhood friends, just like that, quietly left my life as I grew up... When I think about it, my heart suddenly feels empty. 16 The hospital was chosen by Lam So Than. He said he had an acquaintance who was an obstetrician here. I never expected that the acquaintance he was talking about would be his older cousin, named Chu Ngoc Dinh. "Oh my god! Yesterday's rumor turned out to be true?! Are you two really having a problem?!" Doctor Chu looked at the two of us, his eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. “Shut up!” Lam So Than glanced at her cousin, then stuffed the ultrasound slip into her hand. Chu Ngoc Dinh lowered his head to look at the B-ultrasound form for a long time, then suddenly raised his head to look at me and said seriously: "It's really pregnant, eight weeks now. There is a clear fetal heartbeat. Moreover... it's two fetal heartbeats - you're carrying twins." I felt like I was hit in the head with a hammer. At first, it was a mess and I was still wondering whether to keep it or not. Now all of a sudden, it's twins?! So... how could I give up?! "What now? Do you two want to keep the baby?" Dr. Chu asked directly. "Excessive question! Of course I'll keep it!" Before he could answer, Lam So Than spoke first, his voice still full of certainty. He immediately sat down next to me, with trembling hands he took out his phone and began seriously taking notes. “What does she need the most attention now?” "This stage is the most likely to have a miscarriage, especially if you are pregnant with twins, you need to pay more attention." Doctor Chu began listing a series of things to pay attention to during pregnancy. Lam So Than sat next to him and nodded repeatedly, his face serious as if going to a meeting to report quarterly results. I sat to the side and watched him take notes like an elementary school student. I suddenly felt funny and felt a little shaken. Could it be that... God really wants to condemn us?
