I picked up my chopsticks and said, “I’m going out tonight. I’ll come to see you every night. I’ll go out in the daytime.”
“Why?”
Sean was puzzled to hear that.
I smiled and said, “I won’t tell you! You can’t let anyone know I’ve been here.”
Although I didn’t say it, Sean was so smart. Looking at my expression, he immediately said, “don’t you want her to know?”
I nodded.
Since Cindy was intentional, I couldn’t let her efforts go in vain.
He nodded.
But when I left, I didn’t go over the wall again. Instead, Sean asked someone to give me a key to the back door that had been locked.
I left by the back door.
The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.
Cindy was wearing a long blue and white dress today.
She sat across the road and stared at the hospital gate.
When I got there, Cindy looked up at me and said scornfully, “I thought you left.”
“No.”
There was a table and two chairs in front of her house.
I sat opposite her.
Cindy looked up at me and said sadly, “can’t you give him to me?”
“Who?”
I asked on purpose.
She seemed stunned, but I quickly replied, “Oh, Sean, of course not. My son needs a father, too.”
Since I knew she was lying to me, my heart was not so heavy.
I was relaxed in the face of her.
Cindy became unhappy. She didn’t seem to have expected that I didn’t give in but wanted to fight her.
She glanced at me. “Your mother and my mother compete for a man. Do you want to do the same?”
She mentioned my mother, but this time I was not angry. I leaned back in my chair and looked at her. “Your father lied to my mother. Your mother couldn’t control her husband and let him hurt others.”
“You!” Cindy said angrily, “why do you say that?”
“If my mother knew your father was married, she would not associate with him. There are other men in the world.”
I understood that it was Nelson’s fault.
Margaret and Diana, to some extent, were both victims.
Cindy was holding her bag in her hand. She didn’t speak. She just took out the picture silently and put it in her hand to rub.
I looked at her and wasn’t so angry. I raised my eyebrows slightly and said, “we are not the same as our mothers.”
Cindy didn’t look up and just said, “I think it’s the same.”
“Sean never belonged to you.” I looked at Cindy, “I saved Sean’s life.”
“What?”
Cindy stopped and finally looked up at me.
I told her what happened.
Cindy was shocked.
I went on, “so, in his life, I didn’t come much later than you, and my presence was crucial.”
Cindy seemed to think of something. She smiled sarcastically. “So what? Now we both have his child.”
“Really?” I look at Cindy, “how do you know your child is his? After all, you have a lot of boyfriends. You may not know...”
“Nonsense!” Cindy was angry.
It proved Sean didn’t cheat me.
