"What happened to me?"
"I'm sorry, Lena."
" It's okay, don't mention it. " Her eyes flashed.
"No, it's my fault. Lena, I'm sorry." Cliff said in a softer voice. He didn't dare to go too far, afraid that it would scare her again.
"I know I did the wrong thing,"
"Am I in the hospital?"
"Is it still there?"
Apparently, Lena had already guessed why she was in the hospital.
Lena hand under the quilt touched her belly. She rubbed it gently and instantly felt out of breath.
Even though she didn't expect to have a child so soon, when she know she was pregnant, she would still feel…
"It's still there." Gradually, pain and regret began to gather in his eyes.
"Sure enough." Both grateful and disappointed, she had a complicated feeling.
"Lena, let's keep the child and raise him up together." As a business man, Cliff was always capricious. But when it comes to relationships he would get hesitate. Especially when he was afraid of losing Lena, he would become as timid as a mouse, unlike who he was usually.
"Raise it together? " She once thought that she had a hallucination. When she couldn't see Cliff's eyes and face, she made an effort to aim at where he was.
"Yes."
"You said to me yourself that you don't want it, Didn't you? "
"Lena, I want it. I've always wanted it. I want it so much I'm going mad! "
"I'm just afraid, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"You are silly, and I am stupid, that's how things turn out to be like this. "
"After you left that day, I had someone follow you. I was the first to know that you were pregnant, but I was afraid that you didn't want the baby, and that our relationship would break because of this, so I..."
As he spoke, his awkwardness was hidden in the darkness.
Meanwhile, Lena's ears were buzzing. What did she just hear?
He was afraid?
Was he afraid that she wouldn't have their child?
Or was he afraid of their relationship?
Yes, he kept asking her what their relationship was.
Were they like brother and sister without being related by blood? Or were they a woman and a man who had a one night thing?
In fact, she didn't know either.
And he knew it, so she had been under his watch all the time?
Is that why he kept asking all these questions earlier?
"Lena, we'll get married tomorrow. You will be my Mrs. Huo. For whatever reason, I won't let you go. I was wrong before, but I will do as I say."
"Wherever you go, you can only be my wife. You can only be with me."
He should not be gentle or repent?
But why did the transformation turn so big, so unbearable?
Lena didn't have much strength, and now she was even stunned and froze there.
She couldn't believe it. Was Cliff saying what she thought he was saying?
After a moment of silence, she asked in a low and dry voice, "you mean, you want to marry me?"
"Yes."
"For the baby, or for me?"
