When she left, He went crazy
Chapter 36 Men are Despicable
In a daze, I thought of the past.
I
At that time, Christopher and I had just been married for half a year. My period was delayed by about ten days. Even though he always used protection, I still suspected that I might be pregnant.
When I bought the pregnancy test, I was so excited that I had already planned how to share the news of the pregnancy with him.
Now, I was really pregnant, thinking about Christopher standing just a door away, but I felt neither excited nor joyful.
I was just afraid and anxious, not knowing what unexpected changes might arise.
The worst outcome was that I would I lose this child.
In just two and a half years, his feelings towards me changed.
I walked to the door with a complex mood, only to find that Christopher was not outside.
Where did he go?
My purse was left alone on a metal stool by the door.
‘Did he leave?”
I took my phone out of my bag and saw a message.
“I have pressing matters to attend to momentarily. Once the medical report is prepared, Donald will bring it to the residence. I will return later; therefore, take care of yourself appropriately and await my arrival at home.”
I took a deep breath and walked out of the hospital.
“If I change it now, it will be very easy.”
I called Elissa, and she quickly answered the phone. “I was just about to call you. Where are you? Why didn’t you come to work? What happened last night? Why did your phone suddenly shut down? Nothing happened between you and Christopher, right?”
She was very anxious and asked many questions.
I didn’t know how to respond to her.
I choose to answer her first question, “I am at Messlushi Hospital.”
“Did you go for your prenatal check–up? You should tell me so I can accompany you.”
Elissa always managed to grasp the key points immediately. “No, this is the hospital under the Valence Group. How did you end up there?”

I explained to her briefly. However, when I came out of the ultrasound room, Christopher had already left.
“Darn it! I was almost scared to death.”
Elissa summarized. “So, Christopher still doesn’t know about your pregnancy, right?”
“Yes.”
“Good job.”
I walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi. After getting in, I leaned back against the seat. “Elissa, I felt confused.”
I wanted to modify the inspection report.
However, when I lowered my head and saw the image of the child on the report, my heart softened.
I kept recalling the doctor’s words.
I wonder, Could he possibly change his mind because of my pregnancy?”
If so, could I provide a happy family for my children? Could I also achieve my heart’s desires?
Elissa thought for a moment and asked, “Are you wondering if he will leave Evelyn because you have a child?”
I didn’t hide anything. “Yes, am I really stupid?”
“Do not speak of yourself like that.”
I thought Elissa would scold me for knowing my thoughts, but instead, I heard. “Hope, I know how much you love him. Love doesn t arise from rationality. If everyone could cut losses in time and weigh the pros and cons, love would
become a rare emotion.”
“Moreover, you’ve spent one–third of your life on him. As long as he gives you a glimmer of hope, it’s hard for you to
leave him.”
“It’s not that you’re stupid; it’s just that all men are despicable.”
I was silent for a long time. I said in a low voice. “I want to try again.”
I want to try again for our children and myself.
Elissa didn’t stop me; she just asked, “Have you figured out what you’ll do if you fail?”
“Yes, I have made up my mind.”
If things were to unfold unexpectedly, I would disappear.
I would avoid all possibility of losing my child.

After this decision, I lost the desire to go home and cook. After eating pasta casually downstairs in the neighborhood, I went back home and lay down on the sofa.
As I waited for Christopher to return, I worked diligently, holding my laptop close, fully immersed in my tasks.
By afternoon, there was still no movement at the door.
I couldn’t help but message Christopher.
Hope: When are you coming back?]
No one replied.
What urgent matter made him so busy? Elissa should have mentioned on the phone if the company was in trouble.
In the fall, the days were short, and the nights were long. The sun was already setting at five o’clock.
The orange sunset streamed into the room. Outside the window, the autumn wind was blowing. Suddenly, a strong sense of loneliness enveloped me. My actions were quicker than my thoughts.
When I came to my senses, I had already picked up my phone,
I hated the feeling of waiting.
When I was dialing Christopher’s number, Donald called me.
He said, “Mrs. Valence, I’m sorry. I have some urgent personal matters to attend to. Can I have someone else deliver
your medical examination report to you?”
“Have you finished dealing with the urgent matters at the company?”
Donald asked, “What emergency?”
“It is…”
I realized today that it wasn’t business that made Christopher leave me behind.
1 immediately changed the subject. “Can the medical examination report be picked up now?”
“Yes, the hospital called me in the afternoon.”
“I went to the hospital to pick it up myself.”
“Mrs. Valence. ”
He hesitated and said, “I…”
