- 11.
I was disappointed.
Liam should have stayed.
After two sad days, Liam brought people to
my room.
He contacted experts to help me.
But they all shook their heads.
LL
“I don’t believe it. We can go overseas!”
The expert said, “It’s too late. A forced
abortion could kill the patient.”
く
I saw Liam cry for the first time.
I petted his hair and teased him.
“Your parents died, so I’ll give you a child.”
He said, “You don’t think I’ll take care of him,
right?”
“No, Shailene will.”
Liam stared at Shailene.
“It’s my kid. Don’t give it to others.”
Liam and Shailene hated each other.
But they guarded me like bodyguards.
They took me shopping for baby stuff.
The baby might not live, but we prepared
everything.
I only bought baby stuff, but Liam insisted
buy pregnancy stuff.
I said, “It’s not necessary. I won’t need it.”
They yelled, “What do you mean you won’t
need it!”
“Okay, okay.”
Now, I had to agree with them.
L
Two months went by. We set up the baby
room.
I hired a lawyer.
I’d leave everything to the baby. The painting
would be a gift for Shailene.
Liam frowned.
“He gets a gift, but I don’t?”
I was scared, I hadn’t thought about Liam.
“The house?”
Liam said, “It’s not about the money.”
I didn’t know what to give him.
“I have a painting for you. You haven’t seen
it.”
He said,
“I’ve seen your paintings. I can tell your style!
That’s how I found you!”
So, that’s how he found me.
Liam had never been in my studio.
He hadn’t found the paintings.
I got up, but my chest hurt.
<
Blood.
I coughed up blood.
Liam’s hands and clothes were covered in
blood.
I lost consciousness.
I heard Liam say,
“Scarlett, please hold on! I haven’t said
enough!”
I was alone.
I saw my parents arguing, myself crying,
myself arguing with Liam, and myself
bleeding.
“Scarlett, Scarlett.”
I heard someone call me, but I couldn’t open
my eyes.
I didn’t see my baby.
Extra:
Liam spent his days in Scarlett’s studio.
He saw her emotions in her paintings.
Scarlett wasn’t happy.
He was the reason for her sadness.
He didn’t listen to her about Ashley.
He found Ashley and hit her.
It was because of what she did to Scarlett.
Then, he broke up with Ashley.
But Scarlett couldn’t see it.
He found paintings of himself in high school.
These were the paintings she had left for him.
He cried for an afternoon.
His son started crying.
Scarlett had given him a son.
He was home now.
Shailene had moved in.
“I’m Scarlett’s son’s godfather. I’m here to
take care of him!”
Scarlett had chosen the name.
Liam hired a nanny.
The baby looked like Scarlett.
He avoided him.
He worked hard.
But he thought of Scarlett.
Once, he was giving a presentation.
He flashed back to Scarlett being taken out
of surgery.
She didn’t forgive him.
His son started to mess around when
Shailene was painting.
He took him to work.
Now, everyone knew he had a son.
A female employee asked if his mom was
pretty.
His son said he didn’t have a mom.
Liam smacked him.
His son started crying. “Take me to my
mom!”
Liam made him kneel in front of Scarlett’s
grave.
His lucky charm fell out.
It was Scarlett’s last gift.
It was Scarlett’s last gift.
There was also a bracelet she had made.
Liam wore it all the time.
The lucky charm fell out. Scarlett was angry.
Liam hugged his son and made him t
apologize.
He fired the female employee.
He put a ring on his finger.
That night, he dreamed of Scarlett crying.
He hugged her.
“Scarlett, don’t be mad. I won’t hit him again.”
“Please, forgive me.”
But Scarlett didn’t look at him.
He woke up and cried.
Scarlett might not forgive him.
But he’d keep trying.
He didn’t want to lose her in the next life.
