At this point,she paused and asked me,"Do you know how much this villa is worth now?"
I shook my head.
She said,"Twelve million dollars."
She continued to tell the story-
Not long after,Lily got pregnant.Looking at the examination results,she was very nervous,wondering how David would react when he knew about it.
Unexpectedly,David said firmly to her,"Keep the baby and let's get married."
There was not the slightest hesitation.
David's firm attitude gave Lily great encouragement.They quickly got married and moved into this villa.
At that time,Lily was immersed in the anticipation of the future every day.She counted the fetal movements every day and looked forward to the day when the family of three would meet.
Probably around three months of pregnancy,she started having morning sickness.She vomited so much every day that she felt dizzy.Even drinking a sip of water made her feel nauseous.
And David's business became busier and busier.He had more and more social engagements and came home later and later.
By the middle of her pregnancy,he almost never came home at night.
She was vomiting so much that she almost vomited out her bile,but David still didn't care at all and didn't say a word of concern.
Because she was pregnant,except for the regular prenatal check-ups,she didn't dare to do any other examinations,for fear that the X-rays would harm the baby.
She always thought that her pregnancy reaction was just stronger than that of ordinary people.
Even the doctor told her that morning sickness was a normal phenomenon,and some pregnant women would vomit until they gave birth.
She endured it day by day.Until she was more than eight months pregnant,just before giving birth,one morning,she suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.Only then did she ignore the baby in her belly and go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
The result was unexpected and cruel.
I couldn't help but ask,"What was the result?"
A cold smile appeared on her lips,and that smile made me feel terrified.
Her voice was even colder than the smile.She said,"It was stomach cancer."
In the late stage.
I was at a loss for words.
I only heard her say-
There was even more despair to come.
On the night when she was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer,David came home.While he was taking a shower,she checked his phone for the first time.
She found that Amy had already returned to the country.
Amy had been dumped by the rich second-generation boyfriend not long after she went abroad.So,she chose to come back and find David,her backup.
During those days when David claimed to be busy with social engagements,he was actually fooling around with Amy.
There were many sweet moments of them saved in his phone:chat records,intimate photos,and even some photos and small videos of them in bed.
It turned out that the last line of defense that crushes a person is not a terminal illness but the collapse of the belief that one has held for years.
That night,she drank a large bottle of pesticide.
She committed suicide.
Both she and the baby died.
