Chapter 24: The Fall of Flowers
The man began to bring back the other women, and they were laughing and playing downstairs, completely oblivious to her feelings, and her broken heart was dripping blood.
She forced herself to eat and sleep, just waiting for her son to come back, and this eagerness sometimes made her forget that there was another daughter.
The second time the son came back, he was covered with wounds, cuts, scrapes, scratches, and animal bites, but the son also grew up, did not cry, but nested in his mother's arms very silently, and his dependence made her deeply sad, and she hated her helplessness and helplessness. She knew that there was no way out, and the man seemed to see this clearly, and tortured them like this.
When her son was raised and taken away again, she didn't have the struggle she had last time, and it seemed that indifferent facing it was what she should do. Her health was getting worse and worse, and the man kept silent, and looked at him, but still brought back his lovers, one, two, three, until they could no longer live in the house.
Her son is away for longer and longer, sometimes half a year, sometimes a year, except when her son is at home, she can still feel that she is alive, and the rest of the time, she will only sit stupidly.
And so went on and on, and one day, still sitting stupidly at the window, she heard the conversation of the women downstairs, and her man went out again to spend a lot of time, but he did not take one of the women with him, and perhaps he had found a new lover, and perhaps next time she would be taken to the maid's room, so that she could get out of the main house of the house. The women were talking and laughing, and suddenly she heard something about her son:
"This boy was born in a storm, it must not be a good thing, I heard that when he was born, there was a lot of water in the city, and many people died!
"I'll just say, no wonder he doesn't like his idiot son so much. ”
"I thought it was because of his illness!"
"What do you know, not only is he sick, I heard that he is not his own son, but the illegitimate child of that woman and someone else!"
"How is it possible, that woman is stupid, who would like it!"
"I heard that one of his former friends was that kind of disease, and he always came to this house, probably because they had an affair while he was away!hahaha......"
"What's the point of such a woman living, that child will have to die outside sooner or later!"
……
They said so unscrupulously, she clutched the curtains tightly, for fear of missing a word, she had never heard such rumors, yes, after her son was born, she rarely went out, most of the time she was with her son, after her son left, she seemed to have nothing but a daze, how could she have thought that there were such rumors, did her man really believe that their son was someone else's child?
How so?
She tried hard to recall the various pictures from the past, but the torture of the past few years made her head unable to fit too many things, and her memories only contained the pictures of her son's injuries, if it weren't for the photos of her daughter, she couldn't remember what her daughter looked like.
She patted her head and imagined how the man had misunderstood him to such an extent, but she couldn't think of anything when an idea ran into her head, and she had to find a man to make it clear, so that her son would not have to suffer, and her daughter might be able to come back.
Driven by this idea, she hurriedly stood up, a wave of dizziness rushed to the top of her head, she hurriedly held on to the wall, gritted her teeth to stand firm, and walked downstairs with difficulty.
When she came downstairs, she realized that she hadn't gone downstairs for several years, so she ate upstairs, slept upstairs, and sat and waited. She quietly and gently stepped down the steps of the doorway.
The women noticed her, and they froze, they never saw the mistress of the house go downstairs, and few people even saw her, she was so weak and powerless, as if a gust of wind could blow her down, she had no posture of a rich mistress at all, as if she were a long-awaited patient. They looked at her, half-mockingly, to see what the thin, scruffy old woman was going to do.
The man happened to walk in with a few partners, and saw a group of women sitting downstairs, and a wife with trembling squinting eyes, draped hair, and pajamas, and the long-term snailing made her suddenly appear in the sun so abruptly, her face was so pale, which reminded him of the white son, he stared at the woman with a frown, and saw that the woman also noticed him, and several partners also stood together, just like that, looking at the woman together.
The woman walked towards him step by step, sweat on her forehead soaking her hair.
He turned around and said a few words to his partner, who left one after another, and he angrily waved to the group of women who were watching the show, and the women ran into the house in acquainted friendliness. Still frowning, he stood there, waiting silently, waiting for the woman to walk towards him with difficulty.
Under the blazing sun, the helplessness and difficult steps on her face reminded him of his time in the desert, when he thought he was going to die, but God sent an angel to rescue him, and at that time he thought that he would spend his life guarding this angel.
But this angel was right in front of him, what did he do?
His heart suddenly ached, he didn't expect a woman to be hurt by him like this, he remembered that he asked the maid to prepare her favorite food every day, and take good care of her, why did she become like this?
It's that child, yes, it's that child, thinking of that white child, his heart tightens, why can't she give up that child? Why every time I want to talk to her, when I want to coax her, she always asks questions, and he can only leave her unbearably.
He didn't want to live the life he was living like now, but he was a normal man, he had his own career, so he let himself go to other women, thinking that such a stimulus would arouse her love for him, but he was wrong, not only did she not stop him, but let him sink into it.
Suddenly, the pain in his heart gave him the courage to start over with the woman, even if he had to admit the existence of the child. So he met her tearful eyes, and raised his foot to her, but the moment he lifted his foot, the woman fell, and fell so defenselessly and heavily in front of him, and he panicked, ran over, and picked her up, only to find that she was so light, and his heart stabbed again, and he began to hate himself.
After the woman fell, she never got up again, she was so sick that she was able to live to this day, the doctor said that it was a miracle, only the woman herself understood that it was the desire to see her children who had always supported her.
The daughter is back, and so is the son.
She didn't know that they had all grown up, her son was already ten years old, and her daughter had just turned fifteen.
She saw her son's white little face that was no longer injured, her heart was full of comfort, she stretched out her hand, touched this, patted that, and couldn't stop being excited for a minute.
The man standing at the door, with no expression on his face, was in pain in his heart, and he knew that the woman's time was running out.
No matter what, he refused to believe that a woman in her thirties would be incurable, but the facts were in front of him, and in the two days he accompanied her, he learned that women couldn't eat at all, and if they ate it, they would vomit quickly, and occasionally fell asleep at night, and they woke up quickly.
Only now did he really realize that he cherished this woman so much, but it was also the woman he tortured to this point.
The woman couldn't tell them that she was leaving, she just kept telling her daughter that she wanted to protect her brother, that she wanted to protect her brother......
The daughter is an independent girl, in the past few years abroad, she has learned to be strong, learned to be self-reliant, has the support of her father, and worships under the door of famous teachers with outstanding achievements. At the request of that ruthless father, she could not contact her mother in any way, and abroad, many people thought that she had lost her mother since she was a child, but now she is really going to lose her mother, with her mother's eyes full of regret. No, if she were a mother, she wouldn't hold back, but she's not.
So after arguing with her father, she invited the most well-known medical expert to evaluate their father and son, and told her father that her brother had a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting this disease, but he caught up with it, but this situation was normal.
And he also told him that the rumors outside were that a mouthy maid sold the news to tabloid reporters in order to make money. When she handed the results to her father, she saw his stunned expression, and she began to despise him, and hated him even more because she was afraid of what he was worried about, so she did not go to the test, but went wrong again and again.
The woman worked hard to support her body, for the sake of the child and for herself, when her daughter handed over the results to her, she took the paper that proved everything, and gently supported her son's face with her hand with satisfaction, and told him with all her strength that she should never be separated from her sister, and then looked at the man who had mixed too much pain and love, and stopped her life.
The man cried like crazy, before that, he was still suspicious of her, still hesitating, even if he treated women like this, when the woman left, although there was innocence in her eyes, she was more satisfied. He slapped his head hard and hugged the woman harder.
How he wished she could come back, but life and death were no child's play, and she died like that.
