Chapter 25 Prostration


    Rejecting the famous Gavin in Denver City, I sank into an office chair next to someone. To be honest, I


    was sad to see Gavin go. I was grateful to him for his help and probably never had anyone else to


    support me like that again.


    But I couldn''t let myself go anymore. If Gavin became a habit of my life, it would be much harder to


    leave. I''m going to break up with Gavinpletely, pay him back, and live my own independent life.


    I propped myself up and wanted to leave this ce. Suddenly, Barbara ran in from outside and shouted


    at me. "Sister Darcey! What''s wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"


    I shook my head with a smile and said, "Nothing, I''m just too tired."


    "But, you really look bad now." Barbara came up to support me. She took me to the hospital, despite


    she had a lot of work left.


    When I was bothered by Layne''s wife the first time after I was pregnant, Gavin took me to the hospital


    and took care of me for a long time afterwards. Few people knew I was pregnant, so Gavin took his

    part in the baby''s growth.


    "This time I came to the hospital to see the baby, but it was the first time that I didn''t have Gavin


    apany me. He may never know the situation of the baby again. That''s fine, I would be the only


    one to know the secret of the baby in the end."


    Barbara was sent away by me first. I should not let her know the news of my pregnancy, otherwise, she


    might be frightened and would not take me to do any part-time job in the future.


    There is nothing wrong with me. The doctor said it was due to overwork and I was too fatigued. He told


    me to rest, and not to think too much. He also gave me a prescipriton for improving my health. I had no


    other means to express my gratitue but to say thanks.


    I returned home to rest for two days, and felt almost recovered. As I was packing up my clothes, I


    suddenly noticed a bulge on my lower abdomen. I quickly stood in front of the mirror and looked at it


    again. The image of my first pregnancy came back to my mind. I gently ced my hand on my


    abdomen and felt both happy and sad.


    I lost myst child because of my own carelessness. I''m definitely not going to let that happen this time.


    This baby, I must give birth to it healthily.


    Gavin had taken care of my father''s finances problem for the time being, so I didn''t have to worry about


    it. I knew his bank ount number, so I could return the moeny to  him when I had the money, and the


    move was on my agenda again.


    Besides, I have to change my job. Apart from my unpleasant rtionship with my boss, I wanted leave


    just because of him, and his shelter.


    Gavin never called me again after that day. I also knew in my heart that his words said on that day


    were sincere, but most were out of impulsivity. Later, when he found out, he would marvel at how stupid


    he was to raise a son for someone else.


    At least in his opinion, this child was indeed someone else''s.


    Without Gavin, I had to be more careful with my life. On the day of the pregnancy test, I asked my boss


    for leave, and my chest was always tight because of the bad weather. But when I learned the baby was


    healthy, my dark cloud dissipated.
