“Brother Erik, Sis said she’ll be home for dinner. Are these dishes enough?”
“Don’t worry about her. You gave her face?”
“Don’t be angry, Brother Erik. Although Sis still has feelings for Myles, she still thinks about you.”
“See, I posted a few things on social media, and she came back immediately. That means she’s feeling insecure, she still loves you.”
I sat in the taxi, listening to Angela and Erik talk.
“Ha, love me? She meets Myles in secret? That dirty woman, who knows how many

times she’s been with him.”
“Brother Erik, you said when you were drunk that the miscarriage was your fault… Is that true?”
There was a long silence.
“Who knows whose child was in her belly?”
“Besides, I only poured some shower gel in the bathroom. She’s the one who couldn’t stand steady…”
“And then she called me to come save her? I couldn’t care less if she miscarried…”
Erik’s cold laugh pierced my ears, and the call ended abruptly.

“Oh no, Sis, I accidentally dialed you. You didn’t hear anything, right?”
I felt as though the world had turned to ice.
My hand trembled uncontrollably as I instinctively placed it over my belly.
The baby…
Tears streamed down silently.
I could almost feel the cold instruments again, cruelly taking my child from me.
I closed my eyes tightly.
A wave of intense nausea rose up inside me.
The taxi stopped at a red light, and I could no longer bear it.

I pushed open the door and ran to the roadside.
“Ugh!”
I leaned over a trash can, unable to hold back my vomit.
I had known that Erik misunderstood the baby wasn’t his.
But I never realized he’d tampered with things in the bathroom!
My body trembled uncontrollably, and I collapsed on the roadside, feeling weak.
Concerned bystanders gathered around me.
I heard their voices–questions, offers of help -but it all sounded so distant.

I lay there like an abandoned, lifeless rag doll.
“Ma’am, are you alright?”
A soft, innocent voice pulled me back to reality.
I looked up at the little girl standing in front of me, her round, pure face sending a sharp pang of pain through my chest.
Everything blurred before my eyes, and I couldn’t hold back the flood of tears.
