Theresa held herself with both arms, lacking security.
She even dared not to look into Armand’s eyes, “I’ve hidden nothing from you.”
“For real?” Armand obviously didn’t buy it.
“Anything to do with Oscar?” Armand grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look at him.
Theresa hurriedly shook her head, “No. It has nothing to do with him.”
She just asked Oscar to help her. She didn’t want Armand to misunderstand him again and bring trouble for him.
“If it has nothing to do with him, then with whom?”
“Please stop asking. We’ve broken up. Please don’t disturb me,” Theresa growled, trying hard to struggle free from his grip.
Armand clenched his fists, staring at her for a few seconds, “Okay. If you’re not willing to tell me, I’ll go ask Loredana. I believe she must know it.”
After that, he turned away and was about to go.
“Stop, Armand!” Theresa stopped him.
“Don’t make trouble out of nothing.”
It was Loredana’s happiest day. If he went to bother Loredana because of their matters, Theresa would feel quite sorry.
She didn’t want to trouble others.
“If I couldn’t get to know it, I wouldn’t give up today.”
Armand knew that Theresa didn’t want him to bother Loredana. Hence, he became more aggressive to force her.
Suddenly, Theresa chuckled, “Do you really want to know?”
Armand answered without any hesitation, “Yes.”
“All right.” Theresa sat on the sofa. She snorted coldly, “Loredana always suggested I tell you clearly. All right. I’ll make it clear to you today.”
Armand looked at her, starting to feel uneasy and nervous. A bad hunch surged in his mind.
He pretended to be calm to look at Theresa.
Theresa slowly looked up at him, “I… In the future, I would never be able to have a baby all my life. That’s what I’ve been hiding from you. Are you happy now?” Armand thought that he had misheard something, “What… What do you mean?”
The next second, Theresa lost control. She laughed out while looking up at the ceiling, tears dropping, “What do I mean? I mean I could never be a mother in my life. I’m not a completed woman. Now you know it. Are you happy? Eh? Are you satisfied now?”
Armand looked as if he was struck by the lightning. He couldn’t believe it at all, “You’re lying to me. You’re lying to me intentionally. We had a baby before. How couldn’t you be a mother anymore?”
“Yes, I used to be pregnant,” Theresa suddenly interrupted him. She stood up, staggered to Armand, held his hand, and put it on her belly, “For survival, I chose to remove my uterus. Hence, I can’t give birth anymore. I don’t have this functional part in my body. Do you know it?”
Armand shook his head, moving backward step by step, “You’re lying to me. You are lying. How could it be possible…”
“Because I would have died if it wasn’t removed. Hence, for living on, I chose to remove it. That’s it.”
She wiped her face, “Now you’ve known about it. Do you still want to be my boyfriend?”
Armand was shocked. He only heard a buzz right now. He even didn’t know where to put his hands. Grabbing his hair at a loss, he didn’t want to believe any single word that Theresa had said.
It wasn’t only cruel to Theresa but also to him as well.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at her, “It’s fake. You made it up to lie to me, didn’t you?”
Theresa walked to the sofa and sat down. Supporting her chin, with her back towards Armand, she shed tears. She had thought that it was quite hard for her to face such a situation. However, when she finally spoke it out, she didn’t feel as upset as she had imagined. She gradually calmed down and said peacefully, “I’m not lying. It’s the truth. Now you’ve known it. Just go.”
How could Armand leave? He knelt to Theresa with one knee and grabbed her hand. Even she struggled, he didn’t let go of it. Gripping the hand, he asked hoarsely, “Is this the reason why you insisted on breaking up with me?”
“Of course not,” Theresa immediately denied. She said heartlessly, “Because I don’t love you.”
“I don’t believe it!” Armand raised her hand and kissed it, “I don’t care. I truly don’t care. So what if we won’t have any kids. It’s enough that I’ll have you. You should trust me. You shouldn’t have hidden it from me.”
Theresa sniffed. Tears blurred her vision, so she couldn’t see him clearly, “You’ve known my health condition now. Why don’t you just let me go?”
Armand shook his head, pressing his face into her face, “No matter what you are, I like you as deep as before. I’ve never changed my love to you.”
Theresa bit her bottom lip, trying her best to hold back her tears, “You don’t care about it. How about your grandmother?”
Armand stiffed. It was the most realistic problem.
“We can adopt kids and tell her that they are our biological children. Anyway, we will figure out ways.”
“How about you? Don’t you want your own child?”
Armand raised his head and looked into her eyes. To make her believe him, he didn’t dodge from her gaze at all. He said, stressing each syllable, “It’s enough for me if I have you.”
“But, I don’t believe it.” Theresa was still timid. She didn’t dare to face the fact that they would never have their own kids in the future.
“What should I do to prove it?” Armand looked around and saw a fruit knife on the table. He picked it up, “Do you need me to kill myself to prove my life to you?”
“What are you doing?” Theresa snatched the knife from him. Armand raised his hands and dodged from her, “If there’s one way to prove my love to you, I can show it with my life. I used to hurt you…” “Stop it! Calm down!” Theresa snapped to interrupt him, “Put the knife down!”
Armand looked at her and refused, “No. I want to prove it to you.”
“I don’t need it!” Theresa was in a panic, afraid that he would hurt himself, “Put the knife down. I believe you.”
“Really?” Armand faked as if he didn’t believe, but inwardly he was overjoyed. He could tell that Theresa worried about him. If not, how could she be afraid that he would hurt himself? “Theresa,” Armand looked at her and said seriously, “I’m sorry.”
Theresa turned away and couldn’t help shedding tears. Armand put down the knife and held her. H whispered in her ear, “Please forgive me, Theresa. It was my bad.”
The more he spoke, the more fierce that Theresa wept. She didn’t know what happen. Probably she was crying for the harm she had experience or her misfortune.
When Armand saw her crying, his eyes couldn’t help but get reddened. Since this woman met him, she had suffered a lot and been in difficulties. Now, she had lost the right to be a mother. God treated her so cruelly!
He tightened his hug on her, “Theresa, from now on, I won’t any mistakes again.”
He wanted to prove his love to her through his practical actions.
He wouldn’t hurt her anymore.
“Have you made up your mind?” Theresa was still uncertain, and nor could she have the confidence in Armand.
She believed that Armand still loved her, but if they would be together, they wouldn’t have their own children for the rest of life.
