Janie was lying on the hospital bed, her head swathed in gauze and her face pale.
The nurse finished adjusting her IV drip and left with the tray.
Janie stared blankly at the ceiling above.
Janic?” Benjamin whispered, holding her hand that was not connected to the IV.
Janie ignored him, and she remained silent with her mouth shut.
However, tears rolled down her face.
Benjamin’s voice was hoarse, “Janic, don’t be sad. We can have another child, and you’re okay is already a blessing.
Janie bit her lip, turned her head inward, and ignored him.
Benjamin said. “Don’t be like this. I’m also very sad about the accident.”
Benjamin heard Janie sniffing.
Janic…”
“You are relieved.” Janie finally said, “I will never use the,child to blackmail you again.”
“What are you talking about?” Benjamin frowned, “I don’t have such a despicable idea!”
Janie smiled bitterly and said, “I do. Didn’t I do it like that?”
Benjamin said bitterly, Janic, I don’t blame you. We both should take the responsibility, not just you”
“You don’t have to be responsible for me,” Janie said, “That night, you didn’t ask for it. It was me. I took the initiative.”
Benjamin was stunned.
“When you were calling for Emma, I went into your arms, and then we had that night…
Benjamin felt that he was the despicable one.
How could I have such thoughts about Emma? It is irremissible.
“When the child was gone, I suddenly felt clear. I don’t want to live in the shadow of waiting for you for the rest of my life” She said.
