When I woke up, I was in the hospital, while the baby in my belly had died.
At the moment, my phone screensaver had the message from Miquel and today's hot searches.
[Miquel: Don’t cry over spilled milk. Even if you lose a child today, you can always have another one later. After all, I've already sent you to the hospital, so you better stop making a fuss.]
His message felt like beads from a broken string.
Because when I did my prenatal check-up, the doctor said that I was lucky to have the baby. He even asked us to take good care of that hard-earned child.
But as a father, Miquel did not feel any pity about the baby. How cruel he was.
As for that day’s hot search, it was related to me and Miquel. The first title was, ‘Popular Actress Carla Hess Was Suspected of Being Kidnapped and Lost Her Innocence’
The other one was, ‘Top Lawyer Miquel Walker Bought the Film and Television Rights.’
At that moment, the comment section was full of insults. Some said that I was not worthy of Miquel and some asked me to die as a token of my sin.
At that moment, Casey updated a status for her circle of friends, with a picture of Miquel kissing her forehead and the caption read, "The air is sweet when I am with Miquel."
After the picture was posted, Casey sent me two messages.
[Casey: The trending search that destroyed your innocence was bought by Miquel to protect me. You must be very heartbroken, right?]
[Casey: I came back this time just to take away everything from you, including Miquel.]
Casey spoke arrogantly and confidently and all that confidence was given to her by Miquel.
After recuperating at home for a short while, I returned to the circle.
Miquel had not been home for a long time. He also did not reply to my text messages or answer my phone calls.
I wanted to rest at home for a few more days, but my agent advised me to go out and show up earlier to avoid being misunderstood again.
I thought so too. I could not always rely on Miquel. Sooner or later, I would have to go out and face reality.
As a result, I was interviewed, but the host always asked me about the kidnapping in a vague way.
Since it was a live interview, more and more people came to watch as her interview topic changed.
I could feel her topic pressing on me and I noticed a familiar figure in the crowd.
