I knew where Angel invited me to go. If I didn’t guess wrong, she went to see Bonnie.
I looked at her for a while, I rejected her invitation immediately, “I would never go.”
Why would I see her was asking for trouble?
“Don’t you want to see what she looks like? Why Calvin is obsessed with her?”
Angel used the word “obsessed”.
I looked up at her again. She was beautiful, graceful and wise. But when we met for the first time, she even tricked me.
She didn’t tell me the existence of Bonnie, but she beat around and said a load of bullshit that I didn’t love Calvin.
Now I understood she just dealt with trifle but evaded what is serious.
She wanted me to leave Calvin, but she hated to make her son be a bad man, who had taken advantage of me.
Angel played her card well. If she tried her best to deal with Georgia, who wouldn’t be a match for her.
Just now, I just wanted to help her. But my little trick was nothing for Angel.
I ate up the porridge and stood up, “l will go if that is what you want.”
Angel carried porridge cooked by Knight Family. I bought a bunch of flowerers, then we went to the hospital together.
On the way, I didn’t want to talk with her. She was also silent.
We got to the hospital, I stopped at the door.
Angel turned around and looked at me, “What’s going on?”
Nothing, I just hesitated.
Did I really go to see the woman, who had nothing to do with me?
I don’t give a shit about the romance between her and Calvin?
So, I regretted it.
I said to Angel, “I don’t want to get in. I don’t like the hospital, I gotta go.”
Then, I fled in panic.
Unfortunately, I met Calvin at the hospital entrance.
Maybe he didn’t sleep last night. The clothes were still the ones he wore when he boarded yesterday. He just wrapped a cream-colored feather coat, which seemed well- matched with his light-colored jeans. It looked so harmonious.
He held a thermal mug in his hand. This daily thing seemed so inappropriate for him.
I pretended not to see him and walked past him arrogantly. Now he was busy because his sweetheart just woke up. He didn’t seem to have time to talk with me.
However, when I walked by him, he called me, “Josephine!”
“What?”
“Did you just come here or have you been here for a while?”
Why didn’t he ask me whether I met Bonnie or not directly? There’s no need to beat around.
“Did you set up this hospital? Or is there only one patient in this hospital?”
His eyes looked tired but sparkling.
I hated to see the spark in his eyes, I would rather douse it with a basin of water.
“Why did you leave since you came here?”
“If I didn’t go, what should I do? Do I stay here? It’s early for me.” I pointed to my belly.
“It’s snowing!” He said.
Now I found that it began to snow outside, and it seemed to become heavier.
In our city, it snowed in winter, and there were thunderstorms in summer. We had four distinct seasons.
The seasons liked me. My emotions were rich in love, hatred, preference, and resentment.
It snowed, so what? There would never happen the snow was so heavy that affected the traffic like in the north of China. Snow here would just cover the ground.
I walked out of the hospital gate, and the steps were covered with a thin layer of snow. I walked down step by step carefully.
The driver sent Angel and me here. But I couldn’t ask the driver to send me home first. I should call a taxi. I could be used to living in a rich and powerful family, but I couldn’t rely on it, or I couldn’t live without it.
The snow was wet. And the steps, which were made of marble, seemed slippery.
I stood on the step and didn’t dare walk down.
