Chapter 380

380
In the dream, it was another day of dark imprisonment, and it was the painful scene of him and Kimberly trying to take away my baby.
Whenever I think of the scenes in my dream, I tremble all over.
I buried my face in my hands, feeling anxious and helpless in my heart.
I didn’t sleep well in the second half of the night, waking up numerous times. Every time I woke up, I felt extremely anxious.
Only by touching the slightly protruding belly can I feel the presence of the two babies, and my heart will be slightly calmed.
Just the thought that Reynaldo would soon find out the secret of my pregnancy and take away my baby made my heart ache.
Sometimes I really hated him, why did he have to be so cruel to me.
That was my baby, why did he have to be taken away, why?
Tears silently slid from the corners of my eyes, I buried my face in the pillow, and my heart ached in waves.
The next morning someone knocked on my door.
I shrank into the quilt and didn’t move,
Knock, knock, knock…
The knocking on the door continued.
I pulled the quilt over my head and ignored it.

Before long, my phone rang again.
I touched my phone and glanced at it, it was Reynaldo calling.
I threw my phone aside and didn’t want to answer.

But he kept hitting, as if he had a look of “I won’t stop until you fight back“.
The knocking on the door outside was incessant, and the phone kept ringing non–stop.
Every sound seemed like a death knell.
I buried my head in the quilt and couldn’t help but cry in despair.
After crying for a while, the knocking on the door stopped, but the phone was still ringing.
I took a deep breath, composed myself, and answered the phone.
As soon as the phone was answered, Reynaldo’s cool voice came through with a sneer: “Do you think you can avoid going to the hospital?”
“Mr. Humphrey was overthinking,” I said as calmly as possible. “I just fell asleep and didn’t hear the phone ring.”
“Well, so you couldn’t even hear the knocking, how dead asleep were you?”
The man chuckled and his tone became more sarcastic.
I pursed my lips and remained silent.
He said coldly, “Open the door! Come down by yourself within ten minutes, or I will come up and ask you to come down!”

He hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
I clenched my phone and huddled helplessly under the covers.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five minutes had gone by.
I cried as I pulled back the covers, covering my face and cursing Reynaldo countless times.
Why did he have to push me like that?!
It was just three years of oppression, I had already allowed him to vent his insults without any dignity, what else does he want?
Why did he just refuse to let go of my baby?
Crying, I put on my clothes and went to wash my face.
The reflection in the mirror, with eyes bloodshot, the whole face pale and terrifying.
I took a long breath and then just walked out the door.
As soon as I walked out of the hallway, I ran into Braylon head–on.
Braylon saw me and his eyes lit up, joyfully saying, “Oh, Ms. Duffy, you finally came down. If you didn’t come down soon, Mr. Humphrey was going to come to your door himself.”
