Jerome nodded and said, "You already know who he's getting engaged to even without me saying anything. Cindy has always been infatuated with Theo. Perhaps Theo has thought it through after being entangled with her for so many years. Cindy is a responsibility that he can never escape. He's not having a good time with other women, so he might as well fulfill Cindy's dream although there’s no love between both of them."
After a momentary pause, he added, "Fred is a pretty nice person. Why don't you consider him?"
I pursed my lips, turned around, and continued walking forward.
It had already been three years. Three years was not a long time, but it was not a short period of time either. However, plenty of things had changed during this period. I had started a new life, and he started a new chapter of his life as well. There was nothing odd about his engagement.
We were no longer related to each other now. I should give him my blessings.
I ate my ice cream quietly in the silent night.
Suddenly, I felt like the path ahead would be the road I would take for the rest of my life.
As the sky darkened, Fred brought Tina home.
After returning home, I coaxed Munchkin to sleep.
Jerome nagged me for such a long time till I got so annoyed that I told him that I would consider his suggestion. He then returned to his room to rest.
My abdomen started to hurt after I returned to the bedroom. After brushing my teeth and washing up, I lay down on my bed and hugged my stomach as I trembled incessantly.
Ever since my miscarriage, my abdomen would hurt a lot every time I was on my period. I had eaten ice cream just now, so it hurt even more.
I thought that it would stop hurting if I endured it till midnight as usual. However, I did not expect myself to faint from the pain.
I was already in the hospital when I woke up. Jerome was standing beside the bed with an enraged expression on his face. "I'm so pissed off at you."
I pursed my lips and said, "I didn’t expect..." I did not expect myself to faint after having ice cream.
It was way too embarrassing to tell anyone this.
