Rosa had already been used to his indifference, so she walked toward him and stood in front of him, face to face, "You and Angela... got a marriage certificate."
"Yeah."
Tears welled from the woman's eyes, "Then... What about me?"
Arvin looked at her with a complicated look, "What happened in the past remains in the past. There are better men waiting for you."
Before he met Angela, he had thought that anyone could get married to each other and have babies as long as they didn't hate each other.
After he met Angela, he began to know what love was, what mutual affection was, and what happiness was.
What Angela brought to his life couldn't be provided by other women.
Rosa dropped her head, feeling really upset that she was born with such an unfortunate destiny. She had really missed Arvin.
She knew that Arvin's heart did not have any space for her, not even the tiniest bit, but she couldn't give up... because of Nita, and also because of her baby...
She suddenly ran into his chest, "Arvin, do you know? During the seven years that I went missing, I thought of you every single moment of each day... because I still love you. Arvin, I am back. Don't push me away, okay?"
Arvin kept a distance between themselves and said, "Rosa, please don't do that. I'm already married."
Rosa cried, her face full of tears. She looked at his indifferent face and said, "Arvin, get a divorce with her, okay? I am your fiancée. We... we were engaged before!"
"It's too late." The two words instantly drew them both apart.
Rosa cried harder, "Arvin! My love for you has never changed for over ten years! Why... are you being so cruel to me?" As soon as she finished her question, Rosa's breath began to hasten, and her face went pale.
Arvin knew something was wrong. He hurriedly comforted her, "Calm down. Don't think about it too much now, all right?"
But, it was already late.
Rosa clenched her chest and collapsed to the ground.
Arvin had no choice but to hold her.
Rosa tightly grasped his hands, "Arvin, it hurts..." Her heart ached, really ached...
Arvin comforted her, as if he was taking care of a patient, "Take a deep breath, and calm down!"
He held her up and put her on the bed, with two pillows under her back to keep her slightly inclined.
Naturally, he unbuttoned her jacket and loosened her clothes.
"Where is the medicine?" He asked.
Rosa saw a shadow at the door. She clenched her teeth, and held her body forward, as if wanting to take the medicine out of the jacket pocket.
Arvin didn't think too much upon seeing her move. He thought the medicine was in the pocket, so he searched the pocket immediately.
"No..." She opened her mouth weakly, pointing to the bag beside her, "It's in..."
Several minutes after feeding her the medicine, it still didn't take effect. Arvin was taking her pulse. Rosa was in such a great pain that she tightly held Arvin's hands, using all her strength to bite on his left hand.
Looking at the bite mark on his hand, Arvin's face slightly darkened.
Rosa said in a weak voice, "Sorry, I was just... in... too much pain."
"No problem." He carried her and walked toward the door of the bedroom, "Now, I'm going to take you to the hospital, and give you a full body examination."
If possible, he would try his best to stabilize or alleviate her condition to make up for her.
