The corners of my mouth curled up slightly, but there was no smile in my eyes. "This is my private matter, I don't need to tell you." I said calmly.
He seemed to have suffered a great betrayal, with veins popping out on his forehead. He asked angrily, "Grace, you are no longer a child, why are you still so disrespectful? Do your parents know about this?"
It was this elder-like preaching attitude again, which made me feel disgusted and almost vomit.
I really want to know if he has completely forgotten what happened that night, or if he is just acting well and is determined not to admit it. As a doctor, I know very well that he was not drunk that night, otherwise we would not have had a child by accident.
When I woke up the next day, I was worried that he would not be able to accept this fact, so I sneaked back to my home while he was sleeping. However, he did not mention this matter to my surprise, and still went to school and cooked for me as usual, as if the obsession that night was just a dream.
I thought that was his attitude towards the matter, so I put my mind at ease and went back to work. However, who would have thought that I would still get pregnant even though I had taken the necessary measures.
I thought this child was a gift from God, and that he, who was very responsible, would definitely take responsibility for me after knowing that we had a child. However, before I had the chance to tell him about the child, he had already reunited with his former sweetheart after a long separation, and had the fruit of love.
My silence made Henry, who was always a teacher, start to lecture me with a stern face: "If you don't get a response from me, and you despise yourself and mess around with other men casually, that would be irresponsible of you!" His words were full of reproach.
" You are a girl, and an obstetrician and gynecologist. Don't you know how much harm abortion can cause to your body?" He continued, "I can understand that you are jealous of Dawn for having my child, but I don't understand why you would just find a man to degrade yourself!" It turned out that he remembered my confession, but forgot what happened afterwards.
In his heart, I was such a lowly person. Although grievances and anger were rampant in my chest, I didn't want to argue for myself at all. If he thought I had a ridiculous night with him because of drunkenness, I'm afraid he wouldn't just lecture me. I can almost imagine how he would belittle and insult me if he knew the truth. Even I find it ridiculous and shameful, but it has already happened.
When I expressed my love, I had anticipated all kinds of outcomes. The child was an accident, and so was Dawn 's appearance and the miscarriage in my hands. Together with all the accidents that followed, they made me realize how lowly my love was. He was the wall I wanted to hit, and now I was already bleeding and heartbroken.
" Henry , who do you think you are to me? Aren't you afraid that Dawn will be jealous if you care so much?" I said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell next door rang. "Henry? Are you home?" Speak of the devil.
"Grace, I am meddling in your business!" Henry threw the abortion notice to the ground and slammed the door. Through the door, I could clearly hear his gentle voice to Dawn.
" Henry , is Grace okay?" Dawn asked.
"That's fine, don't worry about her!" He was full of displeasure when he mentioned me.
I picked up the abortion notice, tore it into pieces without hesitation and threw it into the trash can, just like throwing away my eight years of love for him.
