Then, Irvin turned at me and curled his lips into a smile, "Don't cry. Don't you think you're contradicting yourself? You pushed me into the fountain, yet you're crying for me."

I scowled at his tone. He had deliberately misinterpreted my actions. I only cried because I truly thought he was dead.

Irvin left after that. Unknowingly, I turned to look at Hendrix, and I was afraid that he would mistake what Irvin had said as the truth, "I wasn't crying for him! It was physiological tears! I was frightened."

Nerissa walked us to our car, and she nagged, "Stay home as much as possible for the coming few days. You are going to give birth soon, so please, be careful. Don't think that you can do whatever you like because you're still so young. The risks are still there, okay?"

I nodded. Nerissa told Hendrix a few more things before she finally allowed us to leave.

At the crossroads waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, Hendrix glimpsed at my tummy and said, "Two more weeks to go. Don't worry, I've already talked to the hospital."

I only nodded as I was drained of energy, and I didn't want to talk much.
