Seeing her ashen face and hearing her wails, the other party was afraid that he would end up killing someone. Thus, he ran.
Davin had sent her to the hospital only to find out she had a miscarriage. Not only did she have a miscarriage, but her womb suffered an injury as well. From then on, she could never bear any children.
âI know I donât have the right societal status to marry Davin. After becoming infertile, I became even more unworthy of marrying him. I was upset to see him miserable and guilty when he found out I couldnât bear any children anymore. I really was.â
Renee breathed in deeply before continuing, âI feel inferior to be a woman who canât bear children. I donât feel like a perfect woman anymore. I loved him so much back then, to the point I could die for him.â
Sophia knew her words were true. Otherwise, she would not have stood in front of Davin to take the blow for him.
Renee continued, âThatâs why, as long as itâs good for him, Iâd do anything. I lived a life occupied by thoughts of loving him and leaving him. I was conflicted. I felt that a woman like me should keep my distance from him so that he could find a suitable woman. Finally, I came to a decision. I asked a middle-aged woman to pretend to be my mother who opposed my relationship with him. Then, I argued with him with some excuses I came up with. After that, I asked my fake mother to bring me away. Itâs been ten years since then. I wasnât expecting to see him again now.â
At that, several emotions washed over her heart. She breathed out slowly before she continued, âI called him to send me to the hospital that night because my aunt had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. It was an emergency, so⦠I really didnât think it would become a misunderstanding between his girlfriend and him. Iâm really sorry about it. Donât worry, Mrs. Seet. I wonât contact him anymore. Since Iâve left him back then, I wonât cling to him now.â
Sophia was quiet for a while.
Reneeâs story surprised her.
She never thought that her carefree and loud son would once have a relationship like this. She could barely believe that he had come across a woman like Renee. God certainly takes care of him.
Howeverâ¦
Even a relationship like this could not escape fate. Sophia did not wish to say which side was right or wrong; she just felt that it was a pity for their relationship to have ended in that way.
Yetâ¦
âRenee, youâre a good kid. I thank you for what youâve done for Davin. If this was ten years ago⦠If I realized that a woman like you loves my silly son so much, I wouldâve approved of your relationship. Your status wouldnât have mattered to me. However, many things have happened during these ten years. Davin now has feelings for his fiancée. Neither of you can go back to the past.â Sophia could not help but sigh. How cruel fate can be.
âI know youâre a good kid, and youâre right. It wonât be easy to make up for what Davin owes you. What about this? Tell me a wish of yours, and Iâll do my best to fulfill it, okay? Are you married? Do you have a husband?â
Renee shook her head.
She had never thought of marrying someone else from the moment she left Davin. Moreover, she felt that she was a flawed woman now that she could not bear children. Her low self-esteem made her reject the notion of marriage.
Sophia grabbed her hand. âDear, are you not married because you canât let Davin go or because there isnât anyone suitable? Iâll look for someone even better than Davin, and Iâll prepare a set of expensive dowry. Iâll treat you like my own daughter for the marriage. How about that?â
Reneeâs expression turned dark. She knew what Sophia wanted to do. The woman wanted her to get married because she was worried she would continue to cling to Davin.
âMrs. Seet, Iâll make my own decision for my marriage. I wonât take your dowry. Donât worry. I promise not to ever meet Davin again.â
âIn that case, it wonât be appropriate for me to say anything else. If you have anything you need, you can look for me. The Seet family will owe you a favor. If you ever need anything, Iâll do my best to help you.â
