"She must have suspected us. But the surveillance camera is broken. She won't find anything."
The man thinks for a moment. "She has been looking at your belly. She must think that you hit people by accident because you're pregnant."
"That's good." The pregnant woman is lying in her seat and stroking her belly as she says happily, "I never expect that we can earn one million yuan by doing a little favor. Amazing deal!"
"But I feel it's not going to be that simple." The man frowns and looks worried.
But the woman does not care about it. "Don't think too much. Anyway, we did what he said. He didn't care if we made it. Now we've got one million yuan."
"Let's go to Country M. We can spend our holidays and have our baby there!"
Unlike her husband, the pregnant woman is very happy and imagining their future.
Her child would become an M citizen. And she could use the remaining money to start a small business.
The woman says, "Honey, you should apply for a visa tomorrow...."
She speaks so fast that the oranges stick in her throat.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
Her husband slows down the car and prepares to pull over when he sees her face turn purple.
However, he does not look at the road ahead.
The green light has turned red. A large truck rushes out from the left and hits into the car!
...
...
Chandler says that he's a big kid, so he doesn't want anyone to accompany him. But Lily still stays with him for a night.
Lily wants to go back after Chandler goes to bed.
However, she's pregnant and not feeling very well. She gets a little sleepy at eleven o'clock. There might not be many taxis outside at that time, so she sleeps in the guest room.
The next morning, Lily wakes up and sees Rich sleeping on the carpet.
"Good morning."
Lily touches the dog and quickly goes into the bathroom to wash up. When she comes out to get changed, she finds that her silk scarf is missing.
She turns to look at Rich. "Did you take my scarf?"
But the dog just wags its tail at her with innocent eyes.
Lily glares at it.
But the dog remains indifferent for a long time. She lets it go because she's going to make breakfast.
After going downstairs, she sees that Chandler is busy in the kitchen. And she smells porridge.
Lily is surprised. "You can cook porridge now?"
"Lily, you're awake?" Chandler turns to look at Lily. He's cutting meat on a stool. "Yeah. I can't cook dishes. But I can make porridge."
"You're great. Now you won't starve." Lily smiles. "I'm waiting for your breakfast."
"Alright, it's almost ready!"
About ten minutes later, the delicious meat porridge and fried eggs appear on the dining table.
Chandler sits opposite Lily, shaking his legs.
After having some porridge, he looks up at Lily. "Lily, did my mom call you?"
Lily pauses for a moment, but she turns calm soon. "No."
"It's been a long time since she called me." Chandler is depressed. "Is Dad that busy? Did they forget that they had a son at home?"
"Lily, do you think something happened to my dad?"
Lily's heart skips a beat. Then she rolls her eyes at him and says bluntly, "Don't think too much. Your parents are very well! Perhaps they are just too busy to call you."
