When it ended, Loredana was worn out. Lying on the bed, she didn’t want to move at all. She even couldn’t feel her legs.
She didn’t want to speak, either. All she could feel was wet and sticky. She didn’t want to clean herself at all, lying there motionlessly.
Cormac took a shower and put on clean clothes. He looked quite spirited.
Holding a wet towel, he cleaned Loredana’s body for her. She didn’t move at all, only squinting.
“Take a nap if you are tired. I’m not going anywhere today,” said Cormac while cleaning her up and tucking her into the quilt.
She didn’t respond to him. Obviously, she had heard what he said. She slightly moved, found a cozy posture, and closed her eyes to nap.
When she woke up again, it was already two hours later. Cormac called the room service to deliver some food.
He served the dishes to her on the bed. Loredana rubbed her eyes, “I haven’t brushed my teeth or washed my face yet.”
“You can do that after eating.” Loredana glared at him, “Would I sleep in so late if it weren’t because of you?”
“Yeah, it’s all my fault. I’ll control the time next time. You should be starved now. Come on. Have something.” Cormac sat on the edge of the bed while holding the tray.
Loredana didn’t eat anything for breakfast, so she was indeed hungry now. Cormac passed the milk to her. She took a few sips and put the glass down. Then she picked up the spoon and started eating the shrimp porridge, fried eyes, and fruits.
“Let’s go see a movie later, shall we?” Cormac watched her eat, reaching out and pulled a piece of tissue for her.
Loredana nodded in agreement.
Others knew that today was the first day after they had just got married, so neither of their phones rang.
After the meal, Loredana tidied herself up. The clothes that Cormac prepared for her were all new.
Loredana put on the new clothes and walked out with Cormac who wrapped her hand around her waist.
Cormac suggested seeing a movie, but his main purpose wasn’t to see the movie. He wanted to enjoy the dimmed room in the cinema. Not so many people were watching movies during the daytime, so there were only a few audiences with a lot of empty seats. Cormac and Loredana were sitting in the corner of the last row. Cormac held her in his arms.
She nestled in his embrace.
During the movie, Cormac probably didn’t know what he was watching. He only kept kissing Loredana.
Occasionally, when the volume of the movie got higher, he would deliberately make sounds when kissing her, which were covered by the sound from the movie. He had his kicks in doing it and kept kissing Loredana. Her lips turned red.
When the movie ended and they walked out of the room, Loredana lowered her head all the time, afraid to be seen by others.
When they went back to the hotel, their room had been cleaned. They didn’t go out again. They also called the room service for dinner. For a whole day, they clung to each other.
In the evening, Loredana was dragged into the bathroom to have a bath with Cormac together. Of course, besides simply taking a bath, they also did things that should happen between a couple.
On the second day, Cormac went with her for the prenatal examination.
Last time in City C, Cormac secretly followed her while disguising as a doctor. This time, he didn’t need to do that again because all had known that they were a couple. He could go with her aboveboard. Since they had an appointment, as soon as they arrived, Loredana could go straight to the examination instead of waiting in line.
The baby was over six months old.
After the examination, Cormac went to get the result. Loredana was waiting for him while sitting on the bench in the corridor. Right then, a woman came over and sat next to her.”
“Are you here for the prenatal examination?” The woman took a glance at Loredana’s belly.
Loredana nodded politely.
“You are so lucky. You had such a grand wedding. I truly envy you,” said Emma with a smile.
Loredana looked at her and asked, “Have we met before?”
“Probably you don’t know me, but I know you,” said Emma, still smiling.
Loredana slightly creased her brows, recalling the woman in her mind, but she was sure that she had never seen her before.
“How did you get to know me then? May I know who you are?” In face of a stranger, Loredana was quite alert. She picked up her handbag, pulling out the cell phone.
Once anything happened, she could call for help right away.
Watching her, Emma thought to herself, ‘This woman is quite highly alert.’
“Have you received the wedding gift from me? Did you wear it and show it to your husband?”
Loredana’s expression changed dramatically. It turned out the lingerie was from this woman. She wondered who this woman was and what she wanted. How could Boyce fail to find anything about her?
“Who the heck are you?” Loredana clenched her fists tightly, feeling extremely uneasy.
Her intuition told her that this woman came to her intentionally and she had an evil purpose.
“You don’t need to know who I am. I’m just an unlucky woman. You came here for the prenatal examination, but I…”
Emma pointed in the direction where the surgery room was, “I came here for the abortion.”
After that, she stood up, “I meant it. I truly envy you. Your husband loves you and cares about your children, but I can’t give birth to my baby.”
“What on earth do you want to tell me? Why are you telling me those things?” Loredana asked in a cold tone.
“I don’t mean anything. I just want to tell someone about my depression. After all, a mistress’s child is unnecessary to come to this world. Besides, my baby’s father has a wife and children. How could my baby exist? Probably, that man came to me on his impulse… I believe he still loves his wife. Otherwise, how could he treat her so well?” she deliberately misled Loredana.
After finishing her words, she turned away.
Loredana frowned more deeply, wondering what the woman meant.
She implied something between her lines.
Loredana pulled out the phone and dialed Boyce’s number.
Right then, Boyce was answering a call. The men he sent to follow Emma had lost the target, so they were reporting it to Boyce now.
“What happened? How could you lose her?” Boyce snapped.
“She should have seen me. She went to the ladies but didn’t come out for a long time. When I went into the bathroom to search for her, she’s already gone. I couldn’t follow her all the way into the ladies. Hence… it’s my fault.”
“I got it. Try to find her and continue following her.” Boyce was worried. Emma obviously had an evil intention. She purposely sent a gift to Loredana at her wedding and could sensitively find that someone was following her and get rid of them. Obviously, she was quite scheming.
Right then, Boyce heard an alert tone on his phone, indicating that there was an incoming call. He said, “Find her as soon as possible.”
After that, he hung up the phone and swiped to answer the incoming call, “Hello?”
“It’s me.” Loredana grabbed her cell phone and looked around in the corridor, “I know who has sent me the box at the wedding.”
