Chapter 5

A week after losing the child, he held me tightly one night.

God knows my body had already become completely stiff by then.

His voice tickled my ear: "Don't be afraid, the doctor said you shouldn't move around too much for now, just let me hold you like this."

Ah, is this true?

He turned my body around, and I saw his eyes.

He said to me, "I understand you."

Such gentle words, so different from that day.

Can I trust you?

I bit my lower lip hard, looking at him, feeling warmth in my heart, but also a chilling cold.

Instinct told me I couldn't trust him.

He took one of my hands, looked at me, and left a gentle kiss on the back of my hand.

"Come with me somewhere tomorrow."

"Where?" I asked.

He said, "The Liu Group's anniversary celebration."

I forced myself to suppress the turmoil inside, noticing he might have seen my pupils shrink involuntarily, and he asked me what was wrong.

"Nothing."
