I picked up my chopsticks and said, “I’m going out tonight. I’ll come to see you every night. I’ll go out in
the daytime.”
“Why?”
Sean was puzzled to hear that.
I smiled and said, “I won’t tell you! You can’t let anyone know I’ve been here.”
Although I didn’t say it, Sean was so smart. Looking at my expression, he immediately said, “don’t you
want her to know?”
I nodded.
Since Cindy was intentional, I couldn’t let her efforts go in vain.
He nodded.
But when I left, I didn’t go over the wall again. Instead, Sean asked someone to give me a key to the
back door that had been locked.
I left by the back door.
The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.
Cindy was wearing a long blue and white dress today.
She sat across the road and stared at the hospital gate.
When I got there, Cindy looked up at me and said scornfully, “I thought you left.”
“No.”
There was a table and two chairs in front of her house.
I sat opposite her.
Cindy looked up at me and said sadly, “can’t you give him to me?”
“Who?”
I asked on purpose.
She seemed stunned, but I quickly replied, “Oh, Sean, of course not. My son needs a father, too.”
Since I knew she was lying to me, my heart was not so heavy.
I was relaxed in the face of her.
Cindy became unhappy. She didn’t seem to have expected that I didn’t give in but wanted to fight her.
She glanced at me. “Your mother and my mother compete for a man. Do you want to do the same?”
She mentioned my mother, but this time I was not angry. I leaned back in my chair and looked at her.
“Your father lied to my mother. Your mother couldn’t control her husband and let him hurt others.”
“You!” Cindy said angrily, “why do you say that?”
“If my mother knew your father was married, she would not associate with him. There are other men in
the world.”
I understood that it was Nelson’s fault.
Margaret and Diana, to some extent, were both victims.
Cindy was holding her bag in her hand. She didn’t speak. She just took out the picture silently and put it
in her hand to rub.
I looked at her and wasn’t so angry. I raised my eyebrows slightly and said, “we are not the same as
our mothers.”
Cindy didn’t look up and just said, “I think it’s the same.”
“Sean never belonged to you.” I looked at Cindy, “I saved Sean’s life.”
“What?”
Cindy stopped and finally looked up at me.
I told her what happened.
Cindy was shocked.
I went on, “so, in his life, I didn’t come much later than you, and my presence was crucial.”
Cindy seemed to think of something. She smiled sarcastically. “So what? Now we both have his child.”
“Really?” I look at Cindy, “how do you know your child is his? After all, you have a lot of boyfriends. You
may not know...”
“Nonsense!” Cindy was angry.
It proved Sean didn’t cheat me.
I smiled and stood up. “I’ll go back and have a rest. Miss Lewis, you can wait here.”
With that, I left.
I went in from the backyard almost every night and met Sean.
Besides chatting, we just had sex.
These days, we seemed to be indefatigable. We were completely controlled by our senses.
On the fourth day.
Maybe because we were too indulgent these days. I fell asleep in his arms.
When I woke up, it was morning.
I picked up my cell phone. It was over six o’clock local time.
Generally no one got up at this time in the small town.
I was going to get up, but Sean put his arm around my waist and said, “don’t get angry with her. Stay
here.”
“Wait a few days.” I turned and kissed him on the forehead.
I got up and dressed and went out.
In the hospital, as expected, neither the bodyguards nor the doctors were at work.
The whole hospital was empty.
I didn’t think too much. I took the key and went to the back door.
But when I went out by the back door and tried to lock it, I heard someone ask me in the local
language, “who are you?”
I was scared!
I turned around and saw the old lady who often talked to Cindy at the door of the hospital.
She recognized me and looked at the door behind me. She asked incredulously, “why do you have a
key?”
“I...”
I hesitated and didn’t know what to say. The old lady walked up to me and grabbed my hand and said,
“are you here to steal? Follow me to the police station!”
“No, no!”
I was scared. I didn’t expect this to happen.
“No?” The old lady looked at me. “Then why are you here? And why do you have a key?”
When the old lady asked me, there were people passing by.
A lot of people surrounded us and asked what happened.
The old lady said that she suspected that I was a thief.
Most of the old people in this town were retired and had nothing to do. They were excited as soon as
they heard that I went to the hospital to steal. They said they would take me to the police station.
I was pulled by them and headed for the police station.
There was a police station in the town and it was not far from the hospital.
Someone had already called the police.
When we got near the front door, a policeman had been brought by a man.
The policeman asked me, “why do you have the key to the back door?”
I hesitated and told the truth. I told them Sean gave it to me.
But the old lady who found me immediately said, “it’s impossible. She and Miss Lewis wait at the
hospital gate every day. They are not allowed into the hospital. How could he have given her the key?
She’s lying.”
“Really?” The police asked me.
I regretted it.
I felt like I dug a big hole and buried myself.
Cindy got up when people around me were arguing.
She walked out of her own house and looked at us and asked, “what happened?”
I knew from her expression that she had been listening for a while and that she knew what had
happened.
