Adelaide shut herself in the room and didn't want to see anyone. Antonio stood by her door, waiting for her to come out. But Adelaide didn’t come out. Adelaide didn’t know how long it passed. With the time passed, she felt hungry, thirsty and dizzy...
She only felt that she was in the darkness. There was nothing around her, except for the darkness. The most terrifying thing in the world was the unknown. At this time, her fear was maximized.
She heard a strange sound. But the sound was too far away, as if it came from the heaven, so she couldn't hear it clearly, "Who is it?" Adelaide followed the sound to see what it was. Once she ran, she couldn't stop. Suddenly, she was shrouded in the light. Then she was just like an onlooker who looking at everything that happened in front of her.
"Mom..." The childish voice appeared in her ears, causing her to open her eyes suddenly. Looking at the sweet child, Adelaide wanted to reach out to hug, but she couldn't touch him. The child was still there. He anxiously shouted, "Mom...Mom..."
Obviously, this child was just born. He couldn't walk yet and could only crawl. He could only say a few words. He was babbling. What Adelaide could hear the clearest was the word “Mom”.
Adelaide could feel the blood connection between herself and this child. She was certain that this child was her child. It was just that before she could hold him, a woman appeared and picked him up so lovingly, "Baby, why did you crawl out by yourself again? Mom is cooking!"
Adelaide had been paying attention to the child. But she felt the woman’s voice was so familiar. When she moved her eyes to the face of the woman holding the child, she was shocked. The woman’s face was exactly the same as her!
"How could this be?" Adelaide wanted to get closer, but the scene around her kept backing away, making her never see this scene again.
Soon, she stood in front of another picture. What she could see was still a child, but the child was still in the cradle, biting the pacifier and kicking his calf hard. It seemed that he was so energic. He was very healthy and cute, making others couldn't help but want to hug him and kiss him.
But the child cried out suddenly. Then Adelaide heard a sound of footsteps. A woman dressed in house clothes ran to the child and gently picked him up, "Baby...what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Are you hungry? Drink milk..."
Adelaide was dragged back again. This time she did not resist, because she knew that even she resisted, it was useless. When everything calmed down, Adelaide saw a hospital. She passed through the door of the operation room.
There was a hoarse cry inside, which made Adelaide feel heartbreak for a while. This voice was hers. She was sure that this scene was the birth of a child. She felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, as if she was experiencing such a battle of birth.
Adelaide didn't know how long the pain lasted, but she was sure that it must have been more than three hours. When she was about to lose her strength, a loud cry made the huge stone in her mind load off.
Before she could see the baby, she was taken away again. This time, what she could see was the scene that she was pregnant with the baby. It looked like that she had already pregnant for several months. The miscarriage happened again in front of her. The dead baby made her collapse again. She slapped the barrier in front of her madly, but it didn't work at all.
Adelaide sat up abruptly. Looking at the darkness in front of her, she touched her wet cheeks. It turned out that she had a nightmare...
‘It turns out that my child is so cute...’
Just thinking of the child's face in her dream, she couldn't help but to laugh. She touched her belly, "Baby... Mom will avenge you."
