What he said sent needles that pricked Doris' heart.
It pained her to know that the psychological burden that Jay was carrying now was caused by her
delivery. Doris hugged him and said, "Honey, I was willing to give birth to Ace for you, and I will never
regret it. I'm happy to have him. We are a happy family, aren't we? Don't blame yourself. This is a
process that every woman has to go through. You don't want us to have no children, do you?"
"If I had known that you would need to go through so much pain in order to give me a child, I'd rather
not have one!"
Doris' eyes widened in shock.
Ace was a living life, and he had brought so much joy to the whole family.
How could Jay say such heartless words?
If Ace knew it, he would be very sad, right?
With this thought, tears immediately formed in the corners of her eyes. Through her misty eyes, she
saw Jay stride away alone.
His stubborn figure and everything else about him was so familiar to Doris, but now, it was
incomparably strange. He was like a completely different person.
Didn't he say that he would listen to her?
Just a while ago, Jay had promised that he was willing to give himself to her.
Was he lying to her?
This idiot left without even saying goodbye. Did he give up the treatment?
Damn it!
All she did was watch him walk away. She didn't bother to run after him anymore, because she knew
that Jay needed some time.
Both of them were upset, so they both needed space. But what if Jay didn't cooperate with the
treatment and it became more serious?
Also, her question remained unanswered. Was he not interested in only her or with all the women?
The night had come, but Jay still didn't come back.
It annoyed Doris so much that she didn't want to see him anymore. Later on, she called Nancy and
asked to come to a bar with her.
As soon as they arrived, Doris ordered two glasses of cocktail. But when she was about to drink it,
Nancy stopped her. "You are in suckling period now, and you are a doctor. How can you not understand
such a simple truth? You can't drink when you are breastfeeding."
"But I'm very upset! Very upset! Nancy, can you leave me alone? How can my damn life be so hard?
Do you think my fate is not good?"
In Nancy's eyes, Doris had always been optimistic. She was the kind of woman who would sleep
soundly while other people would choose to run away when disasters came.
How could Doris suddenly become pessimistic?
"He will be fine after a while. Don't worry," Nancy comforted her.
But Doris only pushed Nancy's hand away. "Don't persuade me. Let me drink a little. A little alcohol
won't hurt."
As stubborn as she was, Nancy didn't give in. "No, not at all. I came to the bar with you today just to
have a good chat with you, not to drink. If you insist on drinking, I won't accompany you. You can drink
here alone."
As a doctor, Doris should know that alcohol was not good for babies.
Doris couldn't ignore Ace just because she was depressed! She was not only a wife, but also a mother.
"Don't go!" Like a child, Doris held Nancy's hand.
Her helpless look made Nancy's heart ache. "Everything will be fine. It will only take a little time for Jay
to recover."
With a bitter smile, Doris replied, "Nancy, I found out that Jay doesn't love this child at all. You won't
believe what he said today! He said that if he had known that I would have suffered from giving birth to
Ace, he would rather not have a child. What the hell was that? Ace is his flesh and blood. How could
he, how could he..."
The more Doris spoke, the more aggrieved she became. She leaned her head against Nancy's
shoulder and cried.
'Damn it! These are all Jay's fault!' Nancy thought.
To comfort her, Nancy patted her hand gently. "Jay just loves you too much. That's why he can't bear to
see you suffer from too much pain. Don't blame him, okay?"
"But I feel sorry for Ace. He is so young, but he is disliked by Jay. How sad will Ace be if he knows?"
"Ace won't know it. It's not that Jay doesn't love Ace. It's just that he loves you a little more than he
loves Ace. Don't be too disappointed. If you do this, it will only cause greater pressure on Jay. What will
a man do when he is under pressure? Do you understand?" asked Nancy.
"I am planning to make him do something. The problem is, can he do it? I suspect that Jay will be
disabled from now on. He loves me but has no interest in me. If he doesn't love other women, he
shouldn't be interested in other women too, right?"
"Well, what kind of fallacy are you talking about? Is love the same as desire?" As she spoke, Nancy
gave her a strange look.
Now it was Doris' turn to be curious. She raised her head and looked at Nancy. "Nancy, what do you
mean? Do you mean that although Jay is not interested in me, he could still be interested with other
women?"
"Of course. Why should you ask?" answered Nancy.
"Oh no. Something bad will happen..." All of a sudden, Doris stood up and attempted to leave.
However, Nancy quickly grabber her arm. "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to find that bastard, Jay. He didn't go home tonight, so he must have gone to find a woman
to sleep with. I might have put too much pressure on him by accident. He doesn't want to see me, so...
He must have gone to find another woman. He is a playboy, and old habits die hard." The pitiful girl,
Doris, was now full of hatred. If Jay could only see her face, he would be scared.
Nancy didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "You just said that you were looking forward to let Jay see
a woman, didn't you?"
"I thought he wouldn't do it. But now I'm a little scared because of what you said. If he goes to find a
woman, what does he think I am? A decoration?" Just merely imagining Jay with another woman was
enough to make Doris furious. He lost interest in her and he would enjoy himself with somebody else?
What a stupid guy!
"You are his woman, while those other women... They are the disposable, and just like trash; they
stink." Then Nancy grinned at her own joke.
"Wow, when did you know so much about this? What will you do if Charles goes out to find a woman?
You will definitely be furious and won't just sit here to have a talk. Humph. Easier for you to say so!" Her
own words made her angrier. She grabbed the cocktail to drink it but it was snatched away by Nancy.
Annoyed, Doris picked up the glass of juice and drank it up in a gulp. "I'm going to find Jay now. Is he
disabled? All right, all right. I'll accept my fate. I'll keep him by my side all my life. Humph, he can't have
sex, all right, all right. Then I won't worry about that he will go out to find a woman every day!" As the
time went by, Doris seemed to get more upset.
"You..." For a moment, Nancy was speechless. Then she shook her head and said, "If you have
nothing else to do, you should try to figure out what Jay needs."
Looking so fierce and arrogant, Doris asked, "Then what do you think he needs now, huh?"
"He needs your gentleness, your understanding and your tolerance..."
