After yelling out his words furiously, Connor felt that he was somewhat out of control, and he tried to hide his emotion as he skimmed through the rest of the examination report.
Seeing that I was recovering well, he heaved a sigh of relief.

I rubbed my ears, thinking that I must have misheard.

“Don’t be too upset, we’re young, and we can prepare for pregnancy again once your body recovers.“}]
“Let’s just think that there wasn’t any fate with this child.”
His relentless chattering did not comfort me at all.
Instead, they turned into blades, stabbing my heart which was already full of

significant.
“I’m sorry, when I heard that someone was bleeding, I thought it was Gracie…“}]
I didn’t want to expose him.
When my stomach pain hit, I had no strength to swim, I was like any other person drowning in water, desperately struggling for help.
How could he not see that I was really drowning?}
And how could he not hear my cries for help?}
Was it because Gracie’s cries for help sounded louder and more pitiful?
A wave came, I only saw that Connor had saved Gracie onto the ship.
Whereas I was engulfed by the water, swept far away. By the time I was saved on the riverbank, the child was already gone and I was at death’s door.
The suffocation and discomfort feeling when the frigid river water invaded my lungs seemed to overwhelm me again.} .
That night, there was a thunderstorm, and Connor refused to leave.
‘Aren’t you scared of thunder? I can stay with you.“}
“You can go back, I’m not a three-year–old child anymore, what does it look like to be afraid of everything.”
Connor fell silent and left in a huff.
During one stormy night, he stayed late at work with Gracie, when I asked him to come back and stay with me, he told me to act more
mature.
The following five days, we lost contact again.
I changed the door lock code and packed all his stuff.
I casually skimmed through our chat records, they were all sweet words like love you, miss you, etc, which were all from me.”
My eyes started to sour and felt dry, but there were no tears.
I didn’t live much at Connor’s place, didn’t seem like I left many things there, and it wasn’t worth making a special trip.”
I deleted all our chat records, even the backup of the chats during college.
Looking at the extra 80GB of storage on my phone, I felt a sense of relief in my heart.#
At that moment, the door lock indicated that the password was incorrect.
Through the peephole, I saw Connor, and I was momentarily stunned.”
Considering that I still had his luggage to hand back to him, I open the door.
“Heidi, why did you change the password?”
“I wanted to change it, so I did! Do I need a reason?”

Before he knew Gracie, his phone’s password was our anniversary.”
Later on, he changed his phone password and didn’t let me touch his phone. Because I trusted him, I never went through his phone. I simply asked why he changed the password and he reacted angrily.}
Back then, I couldn’t understand why he was suddenly so angry.}
Later, a comment from a netizen enlightened me. “Men get angry when they feel guilty.”
The reasons for his feeling guilty were quite obvious.
As Connor heard my familiar wording, he couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s the new password? Send it to me.”>
I didn’t respond but simply handed him his luggage.
His eyes lit up as a wide smile spread across his face as he received it.
It seemed as though he thought of it as a gift from me.
As he unzipped it, his face turned pale.
“What are you trying to imply? I just went on a business trip abroad with Gracie, are you going to make a fuss again? We were part of a
team and didn’t spend time alone! I didn’t contact you because I had to hand over my phone.“}
“If you want to believe I’m making a fuss, then just think of it that way!“}
Saying this, I sent him two screenshots.
He stared at his phone as though he’d been struck by lightning.}
