If he didn't know anything, how could he pinch his own hand and then complain to everyone that I pinched him? If he didn't know anything, how could he deliberately bump into my stomach several times after finding out I was pregnant? If he didn't deliberately scatter marbles in my house, how could I have slipped!
I couldn't help but find it funny. Only Cody treated him as a naive child who knew nothing.
I just found it ridiculous that I lost my baby forever because of them.
I slowly stood up by supporting myself against the wall. The furious Cody seemed to have finally remembered something. He was stunned, and then his tone softened as he tried to support me, "How are you? Does your stomach hurt? Do you want to get a checkup?"
"No, I want to go back." I said coldly.
"Remember to check the messages on your phone." I had made up my mind to divorce him and had asked a lawyer to prepare a divorce agreement.
Cody was relieved when he heard me mention the message on the phone. He probably thought I was going to make another request to him.
He patted the child and said, "Okay, I'll watch it later."
I glanced at him, said nothing, and left in a hurry.
This time, he couldn't stop me from leaving.
When I turned the corner, I heard his voice. He seemed to be calling his secretary again, "Which longevity lock did Monica choose for the child? Yes, wrap it up for me."
It turned out that the dead child was so young.
It was a tiny ball, curled up in an ordinary box, with its hands and feet not even fully developed.
I held the box in my hands and stared at it in a daze. Was it my child who was once connected to me by blood? It was still so small, and its hands and feet were not yet developed. The doctor comforted me by saying that I would have another child in the future, but it would not be it.
I held the box in my arms and couldn't help but cry. "I was sorry, it's my fault that I couldn't save you."
I went back home and packed my things. I didn't touch anything Cody bought for me. I only took the amulet that I had asked for my child, because I went to the temple to ask for it when I first got pregnant.
It was the only thing that belonged to my child.
