Say No to Men Attached to Their Old Love

Scarlet blood trickled from my thigh as I clutched Arvin Owen's hand.

"My belly... It hurts so much..."

He shook off my hand indifferently. "Come on, I know it's chicken blood you are using. Debby just suffered abuse from her husband and is now in the hospital without anyone to care for her. Don't be so spoiled!"

But what flowed from me was not chicken blood. It was my life slipping away.

A Severe Hemorrhage

Scarlet blood trickled from my thigh as I clutched Arvin Owen's hand.

"My belly... It hurts so much..."

He shook off my hand indifferently. "Come on, I know it's chicken blood you are using. Debby just suffered abuse from her husband and is now in the hospital without anyone to care for her. Don't be so spoiled!"

But what flowed from me was not chicken blood. It was my life slipping away.

Arvin's face turned dark as he left, saying, "Don't use the baby as your tool to get my attention. You just disgusted me!"

With that said, he slammed the door behind him, leaving me sitting frozen in place. Lacking the strength to even rise, I couldn't even reach across the table to grab the phone and call for help.

Little did I know that at that moment, the phone screen suddenly lit up with a faint buzzing sound indicating an incoming call.

In fact, even if I had known, I couldn't hold myself to answer it. Watching the bright red blood on the floor, I slowly inched towards the table with sheer willpower.

As the blood gathered on the floor, I had a premonition that my baby would be gone soon.

A wave of grief engulfed my mind.

I knew my life was already a tragedy, but I had never expected that my baby would meet his end in such a ridiculous way.

Perhaps I had foreseen the outcome early on, so when I hovered above and peered down at the woman drenched in blood below, my heart felt nothing.

She seemed to taunt me, saying, "Look what kind of a man you've loved for eight years."

I deserved my bad ending.

Could ghosts feel dizzy? In a moment of distraction, when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in the hospital.

In the hospital room, Debby weakly leaned against the head of the bed, casting a worried glance at Arvin.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to come all the way here in the middle of the night. I'm safe now. It's just that I don't know many people in this city. You are the only one I thought of, so..."

She bit her lower lip. "It's all my fault. I knew Letty was pregnant, yet I still bothered you. I thought... I thought you wouldn't come. I was afraid she would misunderstand us."

Arvin handed her a peeled apple. "You two were close before, so you should know that she's tough on the outside but soft inside. She won't blame you.
