Theo drove home in no time at all. Munchkin and I got in the car.
Sensing my somewhat low mood, he turned around to look at me. "Are you in a bad mood?”
I shook my head. "No."
The car was a little warm with the heater on, stuffy even. I took off my jacket.
I did not say anything on the way, feeling no particular emotions. I merely felt a stuffy feeling in m y chest. Munchkin was constantly talking to Theo, so i t was not at all quiet.
When we got to the restaurant and entered the private room, Mason was already waiting inside. Fortunately, he was alone.
When he saw Munchkin, his charming face lit up with a smile. He held Munchkin, asking him all sorts of questions.
I sat down and Theo held my hand, asking me once more, "Are you in a bad mood?"
I pursed my lips. "I really am not."
Theo looked deeply at me but did not ask further.
The waiter served the food and I saw Mason kept
staring at Munchkin. I took a deep breath, asking," How many months pregnant is Nadia now?"
"The child in her womb is gone," Mason said, his voice cold and with little emotions.
I thought I had heard wrongly and could not help but ask, "What?"
He finally looked at me and said sternly, "There's an unstable lie of the fetus, so even if she gives birth, the fetus will not live. Hence, it was aborted."
Theo stopped the movement in his hand and looked at him. "How can there be an unstable lie of the fetus?"
