Chapter 14 — The Rain Stops, I Also Awake From Dreaming

“The child is innocent.” I nodded. "Correct." “But your son is not innocent.” Lawyer Han closed the file. "Miss Manh, adultery during marriage, suspicion of living as husband and wife with another person, transferring assets, falsifying documents, the new documents that appeared tonight are enough." Tham Hao suddenly looked at him. “Don't arbitrarily take my hat off.” Lawyer Han's voice did not change. “Then please explain the hotel photos, transfer history, documents accompanying the medical examination and the content of the conversation in which you promised to buy a house.” The woman was stunned. “Why do you guys have a conversation history?” Lawyer Han looked at the photos in her hand. “What you brought is probably more than just photos.” The woman bit her lip, her eyes wavering between Tham Hao and me. Finally, she took out another phone from her pocket. “He tricked me.” “I can coordinate.” Tham Hao's face immediately became fierce. “Tran Nha, you dare!” As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant behind him quickly walked over. He lowered his voice and said: "General Manager Manh, the pawn shop just responded." “In addition to jewelry, they also received a women's watch.” “The person who registered is Tham Hao.” My heart suddenly tightened. That watch was what my mother wore until the last days of her life. 14 Father's face at that moment became extremely scary. He rarely loses control in front of others. Even when he saw the video on the highway, he just tried to suppress his anger. But when he heard the mention of a women's watch, the blue veins on the back of his hand appeared. “Which one?” The assistant brought the photo. On the screen is an old-fashioned mechanical watch with a silver face and a small scratch on the edge of the band. I recognized it immediately. That scratch was when my mother held me as a child and was scratched by the metal buckle on my clothes. When I was a kid, I often asked why my mother didn't exchange for a new one. She said there are some old objects that have been used for a long time and are no longer just objects. I stared at the photo, my throat feeling like it was being rubbed with sandpaper. “Is it still there?” The assistant paused for a moment. “The pawn shop said yesterday it couldn't renew.” “The watch has entered the processing process, but has not yet been released from stock.” Father closed his eyes. “Buy it back immediately.” The assistant nodded, turned to make a call. Tham Hao stood in place, as if the outer layer of skin was being peeled off little by little. He still wants to justify. “That watch just leaves it there.” “I only use it temporarily to raise capital.” Father suddenly turned around and slapped him hard in the face. The sound rang out decisively, the entire emergency room fell silent. The police immediately stepped up to separate them. Father did not continue to attack, just stared at Tham Hao. “This slap is to beat you on my wife's behalf.” Tham Hao's head tilted to one side, the corner of his mouth quickly split open. Phuong Mai shouted and rushed forward. “On what basis did you beat my son?” Dad didn't even look at her. “Based on the fact that he stole my deceased wife's relics.” The words "lost wife" made Phuong Mai choke up, her mouth opened but she couldn't scold her. I sat on the hospital bed, my eyes were hot but I didn't cry out loud. Too painful. It's not in my feet, but somewhere in my heart that people have pried open and turned over until it's broken. Tran Nha stood next to her, her face turning white from time to time. She slowly gave the phone to lawyer Han. “There is a conversation history in here.” “There is also a recording of him speaking after signing d
The project will buy me a house.” Tham Hao turned his head and glared. “Are you crazy?” Tran Nha's hands shook violently. “You're crazy.” "You even pawned your mother-in-law's remains, but you still told me you would treat the child well?" “Tham Hao, I don't dare to trust you anymore.” As soon as she heard about the child, Phuong Mai's voice immediately changed. “Tieu Nha, don't listen to their threats.” “Tham Hao was just confused for a moment.” Tran Nha took a step back. “Don't act anymore.” "Before, you said Manh Duong couldn't give birth, saying that sooner or later the Tham family would change people." "Uncle said that as long as I give birth to a son, the house and car will all be mine." The flesh on Phuong Mai's face trembled. “I'm just comforting you.” “Why do you say everything out loud?” Tran Nha smiled coldly. “It turns out she also knows these things and can't say them.” I looked at Phuong Mai. She once stopped me at the kitchen door after I returned from overtime, saying I was useless. Saying that a woman has been married for three years without any movement in her stomach is a fault with her husband's family. But the truth is that Tham Hao has always used the reason that his career is not stable to not want to have children. He is afraid that the child will affect capital turnover, afraid that I will spend money on myself. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous. Lawyer Han took the phone and sealed it on the spot. “Miss Tran, I need your cooperation in taking testimony in the future.” Tran Nha nodded. She suddenly looked at me, her lips moving. “Sorry.” I calmly replied: "You don't need to ask me for forgiveness." “You are also a debt to him.” “But the evidence in your hands can determine how much less you will be deceived in the future.” Her eyes turned red and she didn't say more. Tham Hao was surrounded by everyone, panting like a cornered animal. He suddenly turned to his father. “Do you have to force me to die?” Father coldly said:
