“Also, my father is a rather conservative man. It’ll probably break his heart
when he wakes up and sees all those unsavory news and rumors about me.”
I lowered my gaze. “I don’t want to create any compromising situations.
anymore.”
Chris responded, “I know those rumors are all made up.”
“Still, my father thinks that a lady’s reputation and honor matter a lot.”
Chris shook his head. “It wouldn’t matter for those who truly know her.”
“You haven’t known me that long to be able to say that for sure,” I retorted.
“I believe I have a good eye for people.”
Still, I managed to borrow Chris‘ phone and gave Anna a call.
When she heard my voice over the line, Anna’s voice went up dramatically.

“Where on earth have you been?! Liam said that you had fainted and that
you were missing after they sent you to the hospital. Where are you now?”
“I’m at Saint Jude Hospital.” I said, “Anna, don’t tell him I’m here. I…

Anna didn’t even wait for me to finish. “Saint Jude Hospital? Was he really
trying to get you killed? That b*stard!”
Chris took the phone and interrupted her, “Hello, Ms. Anna. I was hoping you
would agree to let Ms. Vivienne stay at my place for a few days. She’s caught
a cold and she needs to rest…”
I tried to snatch the phone back, but Chris caught my wrist instead. “She was
worried about what your father would think of this… Of course. I’ll only drop by
the place to check on her condition.”
After speaking to Anna for a little while longer, Chris finally handed the phone
back to me.
I cast a glare in his direction as I put the phone next to my ear. “Anna, I was

thinking of staying at your place.”

“Oh, it’s fine. Just stay at Dr. Norman’s place. I’ll stop by and see you when I’m
free,” Anna chirped.
“I prefer staying with you, though.” I tried to convince Anna.
“No, Vivi. I don’t think you should stay with me.” Anna lowered her voice. She
sounded a bit uneasy. “Harvey has been acting weird lately. He keeps
bringing you up. I think he’s probably interested in you.”
Her words gave me a shock. “How’s that possible?!”
“Things like this happen more often than you think. A lot of men have strange
fantasies about sleeping with their partner’s siblings.” Anna snickered, “I don’t
mind telling you about it. When we were having lunch today, Harvey had a
strangely pleased expression when he said something about you being very
good with men. Does that sound like a decent brother–in–law to you?”
After I ended the call, I fixed Chris with a stony gaze.

The man kept a smiling expression as he returned my gaze. However, he

burst out laughing the next instant. “I’m sorry about earlier. You need to use a
password code to open the door to my house. You can just set a new one.
That way, I won’t be able to enter the place for the time being.”
I shook my head firmly. “I’m not going.”
The smile froze on Chris‘ lips.
I continued in a small voice, “I’ll stay at another hospital.”
A slight frown pulled the man’s brows together. Chris smiled wryly. “Do I seem
like a bad guy to you?”
“It’s not that… I just… If I hadn’t accepted your offer to give me a ride on
Christmas, things wouldn’t have turned out like this today. I just don’t want to
make the same mistakes again.”
Truthfully, I just don’t want to go to Chris‘ place. I have known the man for only
a short time now.

Even if there weren’t any of those rumors about us online, I would still refuse
to stay at his place.
He seemed like a good man, but I couldn’t bring myself to trust him.
I don’t have a good eye for people after all.
Chris seemed to have caught on to the meaning behind my actions. He
nodded slowly and beamed a warm smile at me. “Alright. You can stay here,
then.”
“Liam will come here for me again. I should transfer to another hospital.”
“I’ll handle that.” Chris pushed the bridge of his glasses slightly. Then, he said
smilingly, “You have no cash, and you don’t even have your phone with you.
All the bills for your treatment are still unpaid. However, I don’t plan on lending
you money since… I haven’t known you for that long.”
I realized only then that I had forgotten to borrow some money from Anna. I
hurriedly said, “Could you lend me your phone again?”

“Nope.” Chris placed both of his hands behind his back. “I’m going to keep you
here so that I can make sure that you’re safe for the next few days.”
I knew Chris was doing this for my sake.
The hospital is a public area. Even if people were to find out that I’m here,
they couldn’t possibly condemn me for seeking treatment.
In the end, I gave in and decided to stay at Saint Jude Hospital for now.
I had no appetite to eat that night. Chris explained that it was probably
because my body had yet to recover from the abortion procedure.
That night. I had a dream.
In my dream, I was lying on the grass inside this beautiful garden. Flowers
were blooming everywhere.
The sun was so bright that I had to raise my hand to shield my eyes. Just
then, a young girl came running toward me.

She was probably only three or four years old at most. She had her hair up in
two loose buns on both sides of her head. I couldn’t see her face clearly due
to the light. However, I could tell that she was a lovely girl.
She’s so lovely.
I reached out to pinch her chubby cheeks. However, I could feel that her skin
was as cold as ice the minute I touched it.
At the same time, I felt as though a hot blade was driven into my heart.
I opened my eyes the next instant.
It was completely dark around me, and I could feel something wet on my
cheeks.
I was about to lift my hands to wipe my face dry when I suddenly heard the
soft sound of someone laughing quietly near me.
I felt a chill run down my spine as I looked in the direction where the sound

came from.
In the darkness, I slowly made out the face of a child. It was a young baby
with dark holes in its eyes. The poor child’s face was completely covered in
blood.
It’s my child!
I froze with horror as the thought came into my mind.
I could almost hear what my mother had once told me ringing in my ear.

“Vivi. There are no ghosts in this world. What you should really be wary of are
people.”
I couldn’t help but wonder how she would explain this phenomenon if she
had seen this herself.
After a while, I started hearing the sound of a baby crying. It wasn’t loud, but it
made my heart bleed as I listened to it. I covered my ears and tried my best

to ignore it.
Suddenly, someone turned on the lights in the room.
