The next second, she suddenly clutched her chest and bent over in pain, her face contorted with agony. “It hurts so much, Reynaldo, I feel so uncomfortable…”
However, Reynaldo seemed as if he hadn’t heard her painful cries, his cold and deep eyes glaring at me fiercely.
Anton was still supporting Kimberly as he shouted at him, “Reynaldo!”
Reynaldo finally let go of me and turned around to help Kimberly.
Kimberly’s face turned pale, and she weakly cried, “Reynaldo, did I do something wrong? I’m sorry, I won’t make Ms. Duffy angry in the future. I..”
“It’s not your business, it’s her problem,” Reynaldo said indifferently.
I bit my lower lip, trying hard to hold back the urge to cry.
I have always known that he liked Kimberly and disliked me.
So it didn’t surprise me when he treated me harshly like this because of Kimberly.
But I felt sad and unjust in my heart.
He was coaxing me to sleep with him last night and this morning, but now he is like this.
Anton said to Reynaldo, “Take her to see the attending physician.”
Reynaldo didn’t say much either, he picked up Kimberly and ran towards
the director’s office.
Anton hurriedly followed behind, took a few steps, then stopped and turned around to look at me. “Esmeralda, where are you going? Let me accompany you.”
At this moment. Reynaldo also stopped.
But he did not turn around.
I glanced at his cold back in our direction, and after a while, I calmly said to Anton. “Okay.”
Coming out of the outpatient department.
I hung my head and remained silent..
Anton had his hands in his pockets and casually asked me, “What’s wrong? Are you sad?”
“No.”
I took a slight breath and looked up at him, “Mr. Pruitt, you can go back, I don’t need you to accompany me.”
Anton furrowed his brows and after a moment, he chuckled with a hint of coldness in his voice, “So, you were just trying to provoke Reynaldo by using me?”
I pursed my lips and did not retort.
In that moment just now, I harbored intense resentment towards Reynaldo and truly wanted to use him to provoke Reynaldo.
Looking back now, my idea at that time was really ridiculous.
I actually attempted to use another man to stimulate a man who didn’t love
me at all.
Anton looked at me for a moment and then sighed, “Let’s go, I’ll walk you.”
“I really don’t need to.” I refused, “There are many cars outside the door. I can catch one as soon as I go out.”
Anton didn’t insist either: “Okay, suit yourself.”
He paused for a moment, then spoke again, his voice slightly tinged with a hint of coldness: “I hope next time, you won’t take me to provoke that man again.”
I was taken aback, I didn’t expect him to care about this.
I quickly said, “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again in the future.”
Anton glanced at me for a few seconds, didn’t say anything else, and just turned around and went back into the clinic.
I stared at his back in confusion, thinking to myself that he probably hadn’t finished his business at the hospital yet. Fortunately, I didn’t let him accompany me.
I
I walked out of the hospital gate with a low mood.
Thinking about how Reynaldo had just been taking care of Kimberly, I self–deprecatingly tugged at my lip.
Now, I increasingly urgently want to leave this city and get away from
that man.
Did he want me to have a baby with him and Kimberly?
Ha, he was dreaming!
I lowered my gaze and slowly caressed my still–flat abdomen, feeling a sourness welling up in my heart.
Baby, don’t be afraid, no matter what, I wouldn’t let him take you away.
I returned to the rented house in a daze, and it was already past four in the afternoon.
The box was still on the ground, and nothing had been organized in the
room.
I walked to the window and opened it.
The rain outside the window was continuous, and the autumn wind brought a touch of sadness as it blew in. My eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears.
Especially when I think about the affair last night and this morning, and then recall everything that just happened at the hospital, my heart feels extremely sour.
I clearly knew that he liked Kimberly and disliked me.
But when he defended Kimberly and was mean to me, I couldn’t help but feel wronged and saddened.
What should I do?
The feelings towards that man seemed increasingly difficult to control.
I really wanted to leave here right now and stay far away.
But that man would never let me go, no matter how big the world is, where can I hide?
