Chapter 24: Me (6)
"Ahhh———hh
I was already screaming subconsciously.
I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be shouting at this time, but you didn't see this person.
It's an absolutely terrifying presence, and just by standing there, you can feel a fear from the bottom of your heart, whether it's his color, his outline, or his voice.
He walked slowly towards me......
Maybe it's because of my weird outfit, or maybe it's because I'm at the front of the line, but I now seem to be the leader of the bandits.
He looked at me, moving slowly, and every time he passed someone, he fell down wailing, and I couldn't even see how he made a move!
So, I just ran away......
Nonsense, can I still stand there stupidly?
To my comfort, the criminal behind me also began to resist with all his might, and I heard the sound of gunshots and broken bones.
But I don't care about that, I'm just running, running like crazy, I can't let him catch me, I still have Jenny, she's still waiting for me in the hospital, I owe her a better house, a home that can give her peace of mind...... I still owe her a birthday...... I also have a baby who was not born.
So I ran like crazy until I didn't even know where I had gone, it was a flyover, and there was bubbling chemical waste beneath my feet, and they gave off a headache of heat and a pungent sour smell, but I think I had run so far that at least I couldn't hear the gunshots now.
Or is there no one left of those people who have been killed by that madman?
I didn't dare to think about it, I just hurriedly pulled out a small knife in my pocket, which was left for me by those people to defend myself, but ...... That weird guy couldn't solve it with a gun, how could he be afraid of knives, so I quickly found a cover, shrunk behind it, and shivered......
Oh, my God...... Why is this happening?
It was already going to succeed, why did it happen every time it happened, unemployment, medicine, and that freak in a black cloak.
I just want a better life, I just want my kids to have a ventilated window...... No...... I even just want my wife to be free from the pain.
That's all.
I've worked hard, but life hasn't gotten any better, what the hell does this damn city want me to do, does it have to force me to be a madman to be satisfied?
Why is this happening, why is this happening.
It was quiet, and I shivered, hiding, and thinking nonsense.
But at this moment......
I felt a gentle vibration in my waist.
It was my mobile phone, and although before the operation began, those people repeatedly stressed that they should not bring their mobile phones, that would expose us, but ...... I still secretly adjusted it to vibration mode and put it in my pocket.
I can't afford not to bring this phone, my wife is still in the hospital and I'm not with her, so the doctor will most likely call me.
Like now......
I hurriedly took out the phone, the caller ID was really from the hospital, I didn't think about it and connected the phone, I know, how stupid it is to have the heart to call at this time, but ...... Like I just said, I had to do it.
So, I got on the phone.
"Hey......" I curled up in the corner, trying to calm myself.
"Hey, hello...... It's Mark. Jenny's husband? "On the phone, it sounded quite calm.
"Yes, it's me."
"Well, now, I have to tell you something, but before I tell you, I want you to put down what you're doing and be a little prepared."
The voice on the phone was still steady, sounding as if he was making calls like he used to do a lot...... And with his voice, my heart was already beating wildly.
"Good...... Good. You..... Please say it. I responded, and at the same time, I felt my face start to go numb, maybe my body started to sweat, but the heavy foundation was clogging my pores......
"First of all, your child, 6 months pregnant, stillborn .....," he said softly, but the voice whistled out of the phone and into my ear.
"What...... What the? I heard a bang in my head, and I thought I knew what it meant, but like a ridiculous fool, I wanted to confirm again: "That word..... Stillbirth..... What is the meaning? ”
"It's that your child died because of the mother's chronic anemia, coupled with malnutrition, oh, you may not know that your wife has been in a state of anemia for a long time, because you haven't come to the hospital for a check-up since she became pregnant, and she seems to have been hiding it to relieve your stress...... As for malnutrition......"
I didn't hear what he was saying, I just felt like my brain was being crushed by something, and the whole world was spinning...... And roared.
Jenny ..... Has she been suffering from anemia all this time in order not to worry me? There is also malnutrition...... Woowoo...... It's all me, it's all my fault...... How can I keep her on bread, she's a pregnant woman.
It was then that I seemed to suddenly realize something again.
That man...... Why say ..... "first"!
Could there be anything else?
"One more thing, sir." As I feared the most, the voice rang out again without mercy, and in that moment I seemed to have foreseen the collapse of the world, and my fingers should have hung up immediately, but...... I still don't.
"The stillbirth led to a miscarriage and your wife had a massive hemorrhage...... We have tried our best, but unfortunately the rescue has not worked......"
Rescue ineffective...... Rescue ineffective...... Rescue ineffective......
I froze in place, the last words turning into endless echoes that crashed wildly into my head, and they began to tear my brain, laughing and destroying the last of my will.
At this moment, I seem to find something ridiculous...... Because I must have experienced some ridiculous dreams.
I thought so, but my body was already unconscious, and the hand holding the phone hung out of consciousness, and the phone fell to the ground with a thud.
At the same time, tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to tell myself that it was all a dream and that I should laugh at it as much as I could.
I fell to the ground in agony, pushing my head into the palm of my hand with all my might.
Then...... It was a heart-rending cry.
