After staying in the hospital for three days, Sophie was discharged. The doctor told her to have a good
rest at home.
When she left, Sophie asked, "Doctor, am I all right? How long will it take me to have a baby if I get well
and have a good rest as you said?"
The doctor frowned slightly as he met Sophie's expectant eyes. "Ms. Linder, generally it will take half a
year of recovery before you want to have a baby again after an abortion, but your abortion was not a
spontaneous one, but a forced termination by a medicine, which is very bad for your health..."
Sophie's eyes fluttered. "Doctor, what do you mean? Could you make that clearer?"
"The medicine is very strong and it has caused damage to your uterus, so you need more time to
recover and try not to get pregnant for the moment," the doctor told the truth. "You should know that
your chances of getting pregnant again are very low..."
Sophie felt as if she had been struck by lightning and looked pale. She staggered back and managed
to hold on to the back of the chair to prevent her from falling down.
"Do you mean that I'll never get pregnant again?" Sophie's voice sounded sad. "I can't have children
anymore?"
"I didn't mean that, but the chances are low." The doctor put his hands into the pockets of his white
gown and continued, "Even if you are pregnant again now, your health might not allow you to have the
baby, and even if you do, it will affect your delivery or your life, so I advise you not to have a child."
The doctor spoke out the cruel truth, which made Sophie, who had been disappointed and
uncomfortable, could not bear it.
She shook her head in disbelief. "No... it's not true. I want my baby, and I want to be a mother!"
"Ms. Linder, your health is more important than other things, so take good care of yourself." The doctor
had a trace of sympathy for her. "If you really like children, you can go to the orphanage to adopt a kid,
so that you can be a mother."
"Adoption? I can have a baby. Why should I adopt one? Besides, an adopted kid will never equal to the
kid you give birth to. I just want to give my husband a child, a child that belongs to us, you know?"
Sophie felt that sadness and despair had surrounded her tightly, making her feel suffocated.
"When you bring it up as your own child, it will feel like your child." The doctor just gave her some
advice out of kindness.
"What's the use of it if we don't have blood relation?!" Sophie could not control her emotions and
bellowed. "It's not our baby after all!"
Doctor frowned, "Ms. Linder, this is the best way out. Of course, it's up to you whether to adopt a child.
I'm just making a suggestion. Well, I have work to do, so I have to go now."
Sophie felt her legs weak and soft and squatted down leaning against the chair. In her eyes, there was
nothing but desolate to despair.
"Ms. Linder, the medical technology is advanced now. As long as you follow the doctor's advice to take
good care of yourself and recover, there will be chance to get pregnant again," Jemima advised
Sophie. "You need to get over it."
Sophie's eyes blurred with tears. "Is there any hope?"
"Of course there is hope if you don't give up." Jemima encouraged her.
Sophie didn't believe it. She just thought the world was hopeless and she couldn't see where she was
going.
It took her a long time to collect her mind. She left the hospital alone, not knowing where to go.
Sky had never appeared since he gave her the divorce agreement that night and said those cruel
words to her.
It was the third day, and instead of signing the divorce documents, she tore them up again.
What she did was to escape from the broken love and miserable marriage.
She still harbored the hope that as long as she did not agree to divorce, she could be with Sky again.
She was not willing to let go of Sky, even if Sky had shattered her heart into pieces, she was still deeply
in love with him.
The more Sophie thought about it, the sadder she felt. Tears welled up her eyes and fell like pearls.
It was not until the driver asked her where she was going that she replied, "Sir, to the SpringHill Villa."
The only place she could think of was SpringHill Villa, where she and Sky lived together.
Sophie returned to SpringHill Villa again and walked to the front door. She gently pushed open the
courtyard door and walked to the gate, slowly reached for the lock and tried to unlock it with her
fingerprint, but the door didn't open.
She tried a few more times, but failed.
She smiled a wry smile and looked up at the familiar environment. The sweet and heartbroken
memories welled up in her heart. She felt so painful that she almost collapsed.
"Open the door, Sky!" Sophie knocked at the door. "I'm back... Sky, open the door..."
Sophie stood there alone, with no one responding to her but wind.
After a while, she walked out frustratingly, and just as she reached the gate of the courtyard, Nora
happened to walk by.
Nora had already walked past, but suddenly stopped and stepped back to look at Sophie.
Nora wore a pair of pink sunglasses on her delicate face, which added the chic glamour to her already-
glamorous look.
"Oh, it's you." Nora wore a black undershirt with shorts, with a khaki windbreaker and black boots,
which made her legs look straight and slim and white.
Sophie glanced gloomily at Nora.
"Sky hasn't been back in many days." Nora glanced up at the deserted villa, "And I heard that this villa
has been put up for sale, so you are abandoned by Sky and have no place to go? Well, it's pathetic to
be dumped by the same person twice..."
"But Sophie, you deserve it! How could you be so insidious and mean! Do you think that if Rose and
Sky were set apart, you would be really happy and in love? Sky is not a fool. He's woken up to the
reality. You should wake up to the reality as well! A person like you doesn't deserve to be in love!"
"Nora, it's none of your business!" Sophie retorted. "I don't deserve to be in love? The one I love is alive
at least. How about yours? He can't come alive anymore! And you will never have the chance to be
with him in your whole life. You are the one who is poorer!"
Nora slapped Sophie in anger. "How do you know that so well?"
