He pulled me toward the elevator, about to take me away.
I had doubts in my heart and could not help but remain rooted on the same spot.
Theo looked sullen. He looked at me with an indifferent gaze. "Can we please go home and talk about this, Wanda?”
I pursed my lips and hesitated for a few seconds before following him into the elevator.
When we got out of the elevator, Theo went to the car park to get the car while I waited at the entrance of the hospital for him, thinking in my heart what he could be keeping from me.
I received a few text messages and subconsciously checked them. They were all files.
I saw that it was a stranger's number and tapped into the photo. A photo of an infant appeared before my eyes.
The infant in the photo was very tiny, looking like a newborn infant. There was a circle of red marks on his forehead, and his complexion was blue. He had his eyes closed.
The next few photos that followed were of infants as
well. There was also a video of the infant being placed in an incubator. I could tell that they were all the same baby.
Smack! Like being struck by lightning, my hands and feet went weak. I lost my grip and dropped my phone o n the ground.
My head started ringing. It was full of images of me lying in the warehouse, my baby not being able to be born, and how he died of suffocation.
The suffocating feeling in my chest made me gasp for air. I admit that I was cowardly and weak.
I did not take a single glance at the child when Matthew buried him back then. I was afraid that I would never get over it, so I never looked at him.
I never expected myself to see him at this moment. He looked exactly the same as the child in my dreams. His facial features were exactly the same.
Cindy came out from the hospital and walked up to m e, sneering. "What an interesting expression.”
