Cornelia smirked mischievously, "It's a secret!"
Something else occurred to Hannah and the light in her eyes faded, "He had a vasectomy."
Cornelia questioned, "You saw him do it?"
Hannah shook her head, "All these years, I've never taken birth control and he never uses condoms. But I've never gotten pregnant."
Cornelia argued, "Sometimes what you see isn't always the truth, let alone what you don't see. If you want to know if he really had a vasectomy, you could give it a try."
Hannah replied, "How?"d2
Cornelia said, "Let me tell you slowly. You have to remember."
The two women chatted happily, completely oblivious to Jeremy who had finished his shower and had been out for a while. He heard every word Cornelia said to Hannah, and kept it in mind.
Get rid of the father and keep the child? Was this his literal understanding? If so, where did Cornelia, this mischievous girl, learn all this absurd nonsense? It seemed he could no longer spoil her without principles, who knew what shocking things this girl could do.
......
Meanwhile, Steven's battered van stopped outside Hannah's village again. The countryside not only had great air, but also a view of the starry sky. The starry sky was especially beautiful tonight, and he was mesmerized.
The sudden ring of his cell phone in the silent night gave him a start. He looked down to see Marc displayed on the phone on the passenger seat, and answered, "Marc, what's up?"
