Chapter 9 — The Six Year Lie

Ha Giao Giao's face changed. She reached out and pulled his sleeve, lowering her voice very low, still keeping a smile on her face: "Cam Xuyen, sit down." To Cam Xuyen did not move. Ha Giao Giao pulled his sleeve again, her voice cold: "Many people are watching, sit down." To Cam Xuyen slowly sat back, but his eyes were always directed towards the stage. Thinh Tri Ha turned around and went down. The white shirt disappeared behind the scenes. Ha Giao Giao retracted his hand, placed it on his thigh and clenched it into a fist. She looked at To Cam Xuyen's face sideways, the corners of her lips were still curved but there was no smile in her eyes. Below, someone was whispering in their ear. "Isn't that Dr. To's ex-wife?" "I heard that she went to Singapore to study and just returned." "Look at what Dr. To looked like just now." "How can it be easy to look at? When she left, Dr. She bowed her head and kissed the child in her arms, her voice soft: "Good baby, dad just sat for too long so just stand up and exercise a little." To Cam Xuyen said nothing. His eyes still stopped at the stage, the hand on his knee slowly tightened. After the ceremony ended, Thinh Tri Ha went out through the side door, towards the parking lot. Just as he turned the corner of the hallway, urgent footsteps sounded behind him: "Tri Ha!" She stopped walking but did not turn back. To Cam Xuyen caught up and blocked her. He looked at her, his eyes red, his voice hoarse: "Tri Ha, you're home." Thinh Tri Ha looked at him but did not speak. "Why did you go to Singapore without telling me?" To Cam Xuyen's voice trembled. "I've been looking for you for two years, asking everyone to find out you're going to Singapore. Even where you're going, you won't tell me a word?" "We're divorced." Thinh Tri Ha said. "There's no need to tell you where I'm going." To Cam Xuyen froze, lowering his voice: "Tri Ha, I regret it. I shouldn't have forced you to kneel that day. I didn't know you were pregnant, I really didn't know..." "It doesn't matter whether I know or not." Thinh Tri Ha interrupted him. "The baby is gone, the marriage is over. You also have your child, live your life well." To Cam Xuyen's face turned pale. He reached out to hold her wrist: "Tri Ha, listen to me..." "Let go." Gian Dien stepped forward, stood next to Thinh Tri Ha, removed her wrist from To Cam Xuyen's hand. "Who are you?" To Cam Xuyen frowned. "Jian Dien." To Cam Xuyen looked at him for a moment and then smiled coldly: "You were the one who took her to Singapore?" Gian Dien didn't pay attention to him, turned to look at Thinh Tri Ha: "Are you okay?" Thinh Tri Ha shook his head. Looking at the chemistry between the two, To Cam Xuyen's face became even more unsightly. He stared at Gian Dien: "What is your relationship with Tri Ha?" "She is my girlfriend." Gian Dien said. To Cam Xuyen was stunned and looked at Thinh Tri Ha. She did not deny it. To Cam Xuyen's voice suddenly rose: "You don't deserve her. Who are you? Just a cardiologist, what can you give her? She takes care of her younger brother alone, can you take care of her?" Gian Dien looked at him, his voice calm: "The matter between me and her doesn't need you to manage. I'm married and have children. Her matter no longer concerns you, please leave." To Cam Xuyen stood in place, lips moving, looking at Thinh Tri Ha. Thinh Tri Ha stood behind Gian Dien, saying nothing. To Cam Xuyen turned around and left, walking very quickly, without turning back. The hallway was quiet again. Gian Dien turned around, his voice was very light: "I'm sorry about what just happened. I said it suddenly, without discussing it with you in advance." Thinh Tri Ha shook his head: "It's okay, I know you're helping me." Gian Dien was silent for a moment: "That's not entirely the case." Thinh Tri Ha raised her head to look at him. "The

What I said just now is also my sincere words.” Gian Dien said. “It's been two years since Singapore, I don't want to just be your colleague.” Thinh Tri Ha was stunned. She looked at Gian Dien. After a while, he said softly: "Giang Dien, I brought Tri An with me, I'm used to living alone. You treat me well, I know it all. I can't miss you.” Gian Dien looked at her, didn't question her, just nodded: "I understand, I won't force you. Let's go, I'll take you home." The two of them walked towards the parking lot, no one said anything. PART 11 When To Cam Xuyen arrived home, the living room light was still on. Ha Giao Giao sat on the sofa, holding the child in her arms, bowing her head to comfort him. Hearing the sound of the door, she raised her head to look at To Cam Xuyen's face: "Are you back?" To Cam Xuyen did not speak. He changed his shoes, walked in and sat on the other side of the sofa. Ha Giao Giao put the child in the crib next to him, turned around to look at him, tapped his hand on the sofa: "Have you caught up?" To Cam Xuyen frowned: "What do you mean?" "What do you mean?" Ha Giao Giao burst out laughing. “He stood up in front of the whole hospital, everyone could see. To Cam Xuyen, where did you tell me to hide my face? "To Cam Xuyen didn't say anything.
