Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

She sympathized with others, but who would sympathize with her child?

The sharp fingernails sank into her palm. Lauren's heart once again bled, dripping blood. In a trance, clear mutterings sounded by her ear.

"Have you seen the woman who just entered the clinic? The one carrying the baby! Alas. She's a member of our community. She's indeed pitiful. She's only in her early thirties. She raises two daughters on her own and hires a nanny. One child is not sensible, and the other suffers from leukaemia. She must have a hard life!"

"Is that her husband? He seems to be responsible, isn't he? It looks like he's very worried about the child's health!"

"What? He's perhaps a friend! She seems to be a divorcee and is living alone! I've never seen anyone like this. The family from her husband's side doesn't care for them, neither does her maternal family do! They left her to fend for herself, raising the two children on her own, though she seems to be an easy-going person. Oh, I have no idea why she turns out to be so miserable! Occasionally, I see this man coming over to help out!"

"There must be a reason for her to end up in such a state! Don't you think she must have cheated on her husband? That's must be it, or why would the man's family be so cruel even for the sake of the children! The child seems to only be a two-year-old, isn't she?" "Well, I suppose she will be two in a few months time! Alas. It seems to make sense once you say so. By right, the man's family should take one of the two children under their care regardless of whether the couple is divorced, or the female is widowed. The eldest daughter has leukaemia, so the man may feel that she's a burden. There's, however, no reason for them to abandon the younger daughter."

"That's right. The woman seems to belong to an affluent family. The more insensible the children are, the easier the family members can care for them. If that's the case, won't they all fight for child custody? One of them is sick, so why would the woman fight for the child custody of the two children? Won't she be both mentally and physically tired from caring for the two of them?"

"Perhaps she has remarried? Isn't that the one?"

"Alas, women have a hard life. One can't make any mistakes. Most men would never take the responsibility into their own hands..."

Watching as the pair of middle-aged women passed by, Lauren's gaze once again shifted before falling on the empty door. The pool of water in her heart stirred.

Clenching her fists, the abnormality in her palm once again attracted her attention to the gift box in hand. For a moment, her sympathy was deeply buried by an indescribable hatred. Turning around, Lauren glanced at her watch and strode away.

After returning to the square with the conspicuous landmark, which was their rendezvous point, Lauren's eyes had never left her watch. The moment the minute hand met the second hand, she raised her head and was met with the emptiness in front of her, prompting her to grit her teeth.

"It's eight o'clock!"

"Willy Bowles, you did great! You stood me up again!"
