Chapter 13 — The Rain Stops, I Also Awake From Dreaming

“Manh Duong, you are wrong.” “Please save me once.” Before I could speak, a woman suddenly rushed in through the hospital door. Her entire face was covered in rainwater, and she was clutching a stack of photos in her hand. “Shen Hao!” “Didn't you say you were getting divorced?” “So what should I do with the child in my belly?” 13 When the woman rushed into the emergency room, her heel slipped on the tile floor, nearly falling. She clung to the door frame, her other hand clutching her lower abdomen. Rainwater flowed down from my hair, I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears on my face. Tham Hao was kneeling in front of my bed, his back suddenly stiffening. Phuong Mai reacted first, asking shrilly: "Who are you?" The woman looked at her, then at Tham Hao, her eyes red. “Is your mother here too?” “Just heard, today you Tham family must give me an explanation.” Tham Hao stood up, his voice lowered very low. “Tran Nha, you go out first.” The woman laughed. "Go out?" “When you begged your wife to save you, why didn't you tell me to go out?” "You said you wanted a divorce for a long time, said she kept clinging to Mrs. Tham's position and refused to let go." “What does it mean if you kneel in front of her now?” Everyone in the emergency room looked over. The last bit of blood on Tham Hao's face also disappeared. Phuong Mai opened her eyes wide as if she had just heard something extremely wild. “What child?” “What divorce?” The woman threw a stack of photos in Tham Hao's face. Photos fell all over the ground. There is a photo of two people walking out of the hotel door together. There is a photo of Tham Hao carrying her bag. There's also a photo of him bowing his head close to her belly, smiling. I sat on the hospital bed, my fingers pressed against the corner of the blanket, otherwise I didn't have too many emotions. Too many things happened tonight. So much so that even if he had another woman or another child, it would just be stepping on one more foot on the ashes left in my heart. Father bent down to pick up a photo, glanced at it, and his expression became even darker. Lawyer Han also picked up a few photos and put them in the evidence bag. Tham Hao panicked. “What are you doing?” Lawyer Han calmly said: "Evidence of adultery during marriage can be used as documents for divorce negotiations." Hearing this sentence, the woman's face changed. “During what period of marriage?” She looked at Tham Hao. "Didn't you say you two were separated and were about to go through the procedure?" Tham Hao opened his mouth. “You said you were going to.” Tears immediately rolled down from the woman's eyes. "About to?" “I was pregnant for three months, you told me to wait.” "You said she refused to divorce because she couldn't bear to give up your money." “He said that when the project is signed, he will buy a house for me and my child.” Phuong Mai finally reacted, raising her hand to slap her. “You shameless thing!” “Seducing my son, and even daring to go to the hospital and make a fuss!” The woman grabbed her wrist. “Don't pretend you don't know.” "Last month, she even came to see me wearing a gold bracelet, saying that as long as my belly had a future, she would accept me in." Phuong Mai's face looked like someone had pressed it into ice water. Tham Hao roared: “Shut up!” The woman was shouted at until she trembled, then became even more agitated. “Shall I shut up?” “Why didn't you answer the phone tonight?” “I went to the company to find you, they said you had an accident.” “I ran to the hospital, but ended up seeing you kneel down and beg her!” She pointed at me, her voice trembling. “So what am I?” Finally
I spoke up. “You asked the wrong person.” The woman looked at me. I said: “I also want to know what I have been for the past three years.” Her lips moved, the eloquence in her eyes gradually fading. Tham Hao seemed to be cornered and suddenly turned to me. “Manh Duong, this matter has nothing to do with you.” I almost burst out laughing. “You made another woman marry you during your marriage that has nothing to do with me?” “You use my house as collateral for a debt that has nothing to do with me?” “You kicked me down the highway and it had nothing to do with me?” His voice was hoarse. “You admitted your mistake.” “What else do you want from me?” Father coldly said: "What to do, the law will tell you." The two creditors stood at the door, their faces becoming more and more ugly. One person lowered his voice and asked Tham Hao's subordinate: "Does he still have this problem?" Subordinates did not dare to answer. Only then did the woman see the bandage on Tham Hao's forehead, then looked at the bandage on my leg. She was stunned. “What happened to you guys?” The nurse coldly said: "He left his wife on the highway, then drove himself and caused a collision." The woman's face became even whiter. She looked at Tham Hao as if she had met him for the first time. “You left her on the highway?” Tham Hao angrily ruffled his hair. “Just a husband and wife arguing.” I looked at the woman. “You're pregnant, it's best to remember what he said.” “Today it's me.” “Tomorrow may not be you.” The woman held her stomach and took a half step back. Phuong Mai suddenly rushed to Tham Hao's side, crying and saying: "Son, nothing can happen to the baby." “This is the bloodline of our Tham family.” As soon as he said that sentence, the air became cold. I looked at her. “Just now you shamelessly scolded her.” Phuong Mai stiffened, then craned her neck.
