Chapter 3
I watched them hug each other inside the ward, and what they said made me feel even colder.
“Did you tell her about it? Did she agree?” she asked..
“She wants to visit the charity house tomorrow, and I’m worried that…”
Antonio said.
“Don’t be
Just bring our son to her, and I’ll do the rest,” she said again.
“Sure, I know you can handle it.”
Antonio was peeling an apple for Noemi. I bet he had done this many times for her since he looked really good at it.
?It reminded me of the time I spent in the hospital before my baby was. due. I had a bad appetite and wanted something sweet.
So, I asked him to peel an orange for me, but he refused me coldly.
“It’s the caretakers‘ job. You should ask them to do it for you.”
I thought he simply didn’t like to do such trivial things. But now I knew, I was not the right person for him to do so.
“Antonio, you have no idea how much I missed you.”
Noemi leaned against Antonio’s chest, her hand touching his Adam’s apple.
Slowly, they were getting intimate. He looked as if unable to suppress his desire for her and kissed her lips..

Leaving the door ajar, they began kissing each other passionately.
I pulled out my phone and recorded it.
I thought I would have no more illusions about him anymore, but my tears. still streamed down.
After they started to undress cach other, I couldn’t bear to watch them anymore and ran away.
Till midnight, Antonio returned to my ward.
He printed his lips on my forehead as usual.
He brought me some soup and asked me to rest. The concern in his eyes made me confused.
Once I thought about what he had just done with her, I felt like throwing
- up.
Then he received a message and his face changed color.
“Did you cancel your account?”
“My bank account was locked since I didn’t update my personal information on time, but I got lazy, so I simply canceled the account.”
After I said so, Antonio didn’t ask further.
He washed up and then lay down on the bed next to me and fell asleep.
I took his phone, which was charging. Back then, when we were still dating, he used my fingerprint to unlock his phone, so I could check it anytime.
But now, my fingerprint didn’t work anymore. So, he had deleted it a long time ago.

After I made several attempts, I used Noemi’s birthday to unlock it. He must be so confident that I would not check his phone that he would set such a pin.
I didn’t find any evidence in his phone, thinking that they must be cautious and would only meet in person to get intimate. But then, I accidentally clicked on Twitter.
?It was a separate account that I had never seen before.
He started to update it 3 years ago, and it was all about his longing for his unforgettable love.
?On the day she got married, he posted a video clip of him getting drunk. People commented with deep sympathy under it.
Then, 2 years ago, he began posting about his sweet life with Noemi, just as I was happily planning our wedding.
Antonio never missed Noemi’s birthday parties, yet I could only receive gifts prepared by his assistant.
He traveled with her but kept declining my requests to do so, using the excuse of work.
?He could not wait for their baby to come into the world, yet repeatedly missed my prenatal checkups.
After reading his posts, I felt as if my heart was torn apart.
I was overwhelmed with pain but dared not make a sound to wake him, so I had to cover my mouth tightly with my hands.
I put his phone down, pulled the blanket over my head, and cried.
