Chapter 3: I Love Only You

Carrying an umbrella, I left the small house where I had lived for two years with a heavy heart. In fact, I didn't feel good at all. My request to cohabitate with that woman was not joking or taking advantage of her. At this moment, my mood was like a homeless child who had lost warmth but no one knew I felt like crying.  

But people have to learn to respect reality, right? Once Ben sold this house, my leaving was inevitable.

I found an ATM nearby and withdrew $1,000 from the card as agreed. I also checked the user information and found that the overly beautiful woman was named Betsy.  

At the corner of the long street, there was a hotel where I stayed. I didn't fall asleep until early morning under the raging wind and rain all night. When I woke up, it was almost noon.  

I looked at my phone and found more than a dozen missed calls, all from Lea. She was really persistent. Seeing that I didn't answer the phone, she sent me a message saying: I should have given birth to the child in my belly yesterday and used this so-called child of mine to punish me for life.  

I found it a bit funny. She wasn't afraid of having a child out of wedlock and being a single mother. Was I afraid of being a nominal cheap dad? Obviously, her complaints did not cause me any psychological burden...  

After a simple wash, I rushed to the hospital in a hurry. The reason I went may have been the little kindness left in me, or sympathy between f*ck buddies. In the end, I couldn't say clearly. Very often, people don't necessarily understand themselves well.

When I arrived at the women and children's hospital and got out of the taxi, I saw Lea waiting at the entrance of the hospital with an umbrella.  

She noticed me first. Her expression without security finally eased a little. She walked over to me.  

I was furious, but thinking that she had once lain on the operating table here facing the cold scalpel, I still held back without an outburst.  

Lea gripped my arm with a solemn expression and looked at her belly again, looking like she loved me deeply but I didn't pity her.  

I struggled free and finally got angry, "Who the hell are you?Tell me honestly, who got you pregnant?"

"You, Sunny!"  

"Do you believe I will strangle you?" I glared at Lea.

"You beast, strangle me! If you had strangled me yesterday, it would have been one corpse and two lives. Today you would be headline news. All the people in the country would know what a beast you are!" Lea narrowed her eyes and said to me, but her body pressed closer to me.

"Are you f*cking done? We slept together two months ago. Show me the footage."  

Lea ignored my doubts, but her tone suddenly softened. She gripped my arm tightly with deep regret and said, "Sunny, if I hadn't had the surgery to give birth to this child yesterday and let him call you Dad, how happy you would be!"

I suppressed my anger and pushed her aside, saying, "Stop playing, okay?Go do your follow-up checkup. Once you walk out of this hospital door, consider me dead and never bother me again!"  

Lea lowered her head for a long time and said to me, "Don't say anything about death. I won't bother you anymore!"

...  

After Lea's follow-up checkup, she was on an IV drip in the ward. I sat by her side like a family member, but I still refused to say a word. I always felt a little depressed.  

The doctor pulled me to the door of the ward and said, "Young man, your girlfriend has a weak constitution and slight anemia. Post-abortion conditioning must not be neglected; otherwise, it will leave root problems when she gets older. Here is some conditioning medicine and health products I will prescribe for you. Go to the pharmacy on the second floor to get the medicine."  

I nodded without much thought. I just felt that the $1,000 I spent with Betsy's bank card yesterday should be enough to get the medicine.

With the prescription from the doctor, I went to the second floor. The staff took a full five minutes to hand me a bag full of medicine and health products, then threw in a sentence: "Total 3,016 yuan. Will you pay by card or cash?"

I was stunned, then opened my mouth to curse, "What the f*ck is this immortal pill worth over 3,000? Do you think I have a lot of money to scam?

The staff were indifferent and looked at the man who had just bought medicine from the window next to me, saying, "See that? He just bought 8,000 yuan worth of health products and medicine. If you have no money, don't get your girlfriend pregnant!"

"Acting so smug, dumbass!" I cursed at the man's back, then thought of Lea's weak and helpless look after her abortion. I swallowed my anger and took out Betsy's bank card, saying, "Give me a discount, or wipe out the 16 yuan change.

The staff snatched the bank card from my hand and glanced at me, saying, "Really new. Have you ever seen a hospital that offers discounts?

With the medicine from the pharmacy, my heart was bleeding. This f*ck buddy was really expensive! 

...

I supported the weak Lea who had just finished her IV drip and walked out of the hospital. The rain was still dripping, and the air became dull and depressing due to the continuous rain. 

Lea leaned on me as we walked. Suddenly, unexpectedly, she asked me, "Sunny, I've been invited by a crew to go to Hengdian to shoot a movie next month. Do you think I should go?"

"Is it reliable?" I asked as gently as possible so as not to irritate her emotions, though I had no interest in where she went to shoot the movie.

"I've gone for makeup tests. The director and producers are very satisfied and think I'm quite suitable for the role.

"Well, you models are sharpening your heads wanting to get into the entertainment industry. Grab the opportunity if it's there...Here are the health products and medicine prescribed by the doctor for post-operative conditioning. Take them back and I'll message you how to take them later." I said, handing her the bag I was carrying. 

Lea did not take the bag I handed her but gazed at me for a long time and said softly, "Being a print model is just a transitional phase for me. I actually graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy's Performance Department. "

"Damn it! No wonder you lied to me so professionally. Turns out you're a professional. I really have discerning eyes but didn't recognize you, a top graduate of Shanghai Theater Academy!" I exclaimed, half mocking and half joking. 

Lea completely ignored my exclamation and gazed at me, asking, "Sunny, do you think I'm pretty?

"Would I sleep with you if you weren't pretty?" I stared back at Lea. She was indeed a beauty embryo, a down-to-earth beauty with bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, a little sexy and charming. 

Lea nodded. "Sunny, forget Jessica...When I become a star, I will love only you!" ... She took the bag from my hand and left like the wind. 

... 

It took me a long time to come to my senses. A cold wind blew over, and I suddenly remembered that I had agreed with Betsy to move out before 1 pm. Now it was already 1:30 pm. I immediately hailed a taxi and headed to my former residence. On the way, I remembered that I had just spent 3,016 yuan with Betsy's bank card to buy health products and medicine. I had told her I would only spend 1,000 yuan. Now I owed 4,016 yuan. How was I going to pay her back? 

Thinking of Betsy's face that was not quick to smile but excessively beautiful, I was in a mess!
