Chapter 6 — The day I gave birth to my two children, I gave birth to myself again

“Do you also know how to save face?”

"Yesterday, as mother-in-law at To Man's wedding, why didn't I see that you were ashamed?"

Trieu Tu Lan angrily pointed straight at me.

"Don't slander! The matter between Dinh Xuyen and To Man has been resolved, why are you still hanging on? It's normal for men to go out to socialize. That wedding is just a formality. You've already given birth to a grandson for the Co family, no one will take your position."

I almost burst out laughing until I cried. I just gave birth. She said again... No one took my position. The wedding has been completed. Still forcing me to be grateful. Co Dinh Xuyen lowered his voice.

"Duong Duong, your condition is very bad right now. Just give me the video and screenshots first. I will find someone to handle it. Don't let this become a big deal, it's not good for the children."

“Not good for the children?”

I pointed to the two children lying next to me.

“When they were born... where were you?”

He was silent. I continued to ask.

“When I signed the surgery consent form... where were you?”

He still didn't answer. I picked up the Temporary Child Care Agreement. Then tear again. Pieces of paper fell all over the blanket. Trieu Tu Lan shouted:

“Are you crazy?”

I looked at her.

“Am I crazy or not... the doctor will be the one to conclude.”

Co Dinh Xuyen's eyes gradually darkened. At that moment... I clearly saw his true self. No longer gentle. No more guilt. Only cold calculation remains. He said slowly:

"Giang Duong, don't force me to use the law. Your mood is so unstable right now, I don't feel secure leaving my child in your care."

Giang Chanh immediately rushed forward.

“Try stealing one!”

The sound of arguing caused the nurse outside to open the door and come in.

"Please don't be noisy in the hospital room. Pregnant women need to rest."

Trieu Tu Lan immediately changed his face.

"Nurse, look at it. As soon as it was born, it became suspicious and even tore up the papers. Our whole family was very worried about it."

Co Dinh Xuyen cooperated extremely well.

"Please help the hospital monitor her mental condition. Since yesterday, she has been insisting that I get married. It's obvious that..."

I took out my phone. Play the wedding video. The nurse only watched for two seconds. His face has changed. The air in the hospital room immediately froze. Co Dinh Xuyen reached out to steal the phone. Giang Chanh immediately blocked in front of me.

“Try touching my sister's phone.”

The nurse coughed softly.

“The family members go out first.”

Co Dinh Xuyen stood still. He looked at me. The voice was cold and scary.

"Giang Duong, do you think just a few videos can prove anything? What you are doing now only proves that your mind is out of control."

I haven't had time to speak yet. The phone suddenly rang. It's Tran Tran. I turned on the speakerphone. Her voice rang out from the other end of the line, low but extremely urgent.

“Duong Duong, absolutely don't let Co Dinh Xuyen take the two children away.”

I looked straight at Co Dinh Xuyen.

"What's up?"

Tran Tran says:

"I just contacted an acquaintance at the hospital. This morning Co Dinh Xuyen submitted an application."

“The reason is clearly stated...”

'The pregnant woman showed signs of postpartum mental disorder and requested to temporarily hand over the two newborns to the father's care.'

The whole hospital room... Silence deathly. I bowed my head. The bandage on the incision... A trail of red blood was leaking out. Co Dinh Xuyen is still standing in front of the hospital bed. In his hand... Still clutching a bunch of withered white roses. Only now... I truly understand. Today he came to the hospital... Not to visit me. Not to visit my children. Come steal my child. At ten o'clock at night, Tran Tran arrived at the hospital. As soon as she entered the room, the first thing she did was tell Giang Chanh to lock the hospital room door. The second thing. Take a photo of the file number on the application for temporary custody of the child that Co Dinh Xuyen submitted. Third thing. Invite the head nurse to come and request to clearly state in the care record:

"The pregnant woman was alert, conscious, and communicated normally. After the family argued, she was invited to leave the hospital room."

The head nurse finished watching the wedding video. Her eyes became very different. She didn't ask anything more. Just calmly say:

“We will record the truth.”

Record according to facts. Those four words... To me are more valuable than any words of comfort. Co Dinh Xuyen and Trieu Tu Lan were invited out. Before leaving. He looked at me with eyes as sharp as knives.

“Giang Duong, one day you will regret it.”

I calmly looked back at him.

“The one who should regret... is not me.”

The room door closed. Until then. My whole body truly relaxed. The incision in the lower abdomen hurts intermittently. Giang Chanh helped me lie down. Tran Tran sat next to the bed and opened the computer.
