On that rainy night, the roads were practically empty.
Rain fell like shards of glass illuminated by the streetlights, making one feel light-headed.
Oliver stepped all the way on the accelerator.
Fanny was slumped across the back seat, grasping her stomach in pain as she groaned in disbelief. “Oliver…”
No matter how many times she called out to him, he continued driving like a lunatic.
He refused to look back at her.
Fanny curled herself up into a ball as the pain became increasingly intense. She felt as if her body was all drained of
blood and her breath was taken away. Her body trembled with excruciating pain.
“Oliver…” she cried, tears streaming down her face.
Oliver continued looking straight ahead as if he heard nothing, accelerating like a madman.
Yet, it hurt so much.
“Our baby…”
The baby was gone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe baby was gone!
She could sense life slowly ebbing away from inside her.
As Fanny sobbed in pain, Oliver finally responded.
He turned his face around.
Gold-rimmed glasses rested upon his nose bridge, while raindrops hung on the hair that rested on his forehead.
There was a vicious look on his face when he turned back to look at Fanny.
Fanny had never seen him like this before.
“I know…the baby’s gone.” Compared to the panic Fanny was feeling, he sounded calm.
So calm that it made Fanny’s heart explode in the middle of the rainy night. She felt broken, bitter, and in deep
pain. Knives were carving her heart, layer by layer.
She was in both pain and shock. She didn’t understand.
“Oliver, why are you looking at me like this?”
She was carrying his baby…
She had wanted to tell him the good news on his birthday, and present it as his gift.
However, she didn’t expect…to lose the baby today.
Pain and tears made her choke up and unable to talk.
Oliver was still staring at her.
He was staring at her with a cold look, as if he were looking at his worst enemy.
“Don’t talk to me about the baby,” Oliver said, in a tone that remained calm and composed.
Yet, he spoke through gritted teeth.
As if all the muscles on his face were trembling.
The pain Fanny was feeling started fading, giving way to shock and heartache. She felt as if someone was
suffocating her, making her unable to breathe.
She stared wide-eyed at him, feeling hopeless and in shock as blood continued flowing from down below. “Why
can’t I talk to you about it? Our baby is gone. Gone!”
She repeated it so many times!
Her body was in such a terrible state. Could he hear and see it?!
The direction he was pulling her in wasn’t the hospital, either.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was driving so quickly in the rain, almost racing, as if he had a death wish.
The feeling he gave Fanny was that he didn’t want to treat her or bring her to the hospital.
Rather, he wanted to die with her!
The car sped along the road. In the suffocating silence, Oliver finally spoke again, “The baby’s gone. Isn’t that
exactly what you wanted?”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have hidden her pregnancy from him!
She had been planning this since the last time she put up an act before him!
She had been planning to let him witness her miscarriage, see their baby die before his eyes, and bring him pain!
That was the revenge she had in mind!
Rain fell from the sky, down the windows and onto the floor.
Silently yet swiftly.
It mirrored the atmosphere in the car. It felt like an arrow on the verge of leaving its bow, aiming straight for the
heart.
The pain Fanny felt was suffocating. She curled her body up tight as tears streamed down her face.
She was still as beautiful as fallen petals of plum blossoms during wintertime, but Oliver didn’t find her beautiful. In
fact, he found her broken and hideous.
