Emily asked carefully, "Calvin, aren't you angry?"
Calvin held her hand with a bright smile and said, "There's nothing to be angry about. I feel released that you didn't regret our engagement. Although we failed to hold the family meeting, we could arrange it again soon. It might be a little troublesome, but it's not a problem for me!"
"But your parents..." Emily said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I will explain to them!" Calvin gave her a comforting look and continued to tease her, "What's more, they are more worried that I can't find a wife than being stood up!"
Emily knew that he had said that on purpose to lighten her guilt.
Although Emily had not much emotional foundation with Calvin, she always felt quite relaxing with him.
She said earnestly, "Calvin, thank you!"
Calvin smiled gently when he heard that but said helplessly, "Emily, don't you think you have thanked me too many times?"
"Did I?" Emily was stunned.
Calvin just smiled and said nothing.
As the night fell, lights were on.
Upon hearing a sudden noise from the bed, Emily, who was sitting at the writing desk and receiving the email, immediately turned around and asked, 'Anthea, are you alright?"
Anthea came back in the evening. She did severa operations in succession and got very tired. After she finished eating, she lay down without taking a bath and soon fell asleep. Then she suddenly sat up and swallowed mouthfuls of saliva with her forehead and face covered with cold sweat.
After hearing Emily's voice, she came to her senses gradually, shook her head, and said, "I am okay. I just had a nightmare!"
Emily stood up and handed Anthea a glass of water on the bedside table.
Anthea took two sips of wine and asked after being silent for two seconds, "Emily, do you often dream of your unborn child?"
"Sometimes..." Emily answered in surprise.
Even if she had overcome the difficulty and accepted the fact that she lost her child, there was always a scar in her heart. Occasionally, when she dreamed at night, she would dream of it.
"I just dreamed of mine. It seems to be crying as if complaining why I didn't want it!" Anthea buried her face in her knees as if she was still immersed in her dream and could not wake up from it.
Emily went over and gently hugged her. "Anthea, let it go. It's all over. You'll have another child in the future!"
When she lost her unborn child, people used to say the same words to comfort her. And it also seemed that there were no other words she could say to comfort Anthea.
Hearing this, Anthea shook her head and said with her voice trembling, "The doctor who did the miscarriage surgery for me said that my uterus was damaged, and it would be very difficult for me to get pregnant again. Maybe I will never be able to be a mother in my life!"
Emily was astonished, feeling bitter in her heart.
It would be too much of a blow to a woman unable to be a mother. She suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Anthea, you said that you and Adam are destined to have no future, apart from your identity... Is this also the reason?"
Anthea's body stiffened slightly. After a long while, she said in a low voice, "Adam likes children very much."
Emily sighed, "Anthea, you're too tired from your work. Don't think about anything. Go back to sleep!"
