“You crazy woman!”
Zed raised his arms. “Hit me!”
Vivian was fearless.
you hit me, I will tell the police about your embezzlement and put you in jail.”
“If you
I understood.
No wonder Zed was afraid of Vivian. It turned out that Vivian had something on him. Zed looked at me with determination in his eyes.
“Bitch!”
Bang!
The slap was so loud that Vivian’s face suddenly swelled up.
“Ah! You dare to hit me? I will kill you!”
They fought with each other.
The villagers around stepped forward to stop them and then called the police.
The police arrived quickly and took Zed and Vivian away.
Before leaving, Zed looked back at me and his lips moved..
I knew what he wanted to say.
But I didn’t care. It was all his fault.
Later I learned from Olivia that both of them were sentenced.
Zed’s crime was embezzlement of public funds, while Vivian was charged with threatening others and covering up Zed’s criminal behavior.
When I heard the news, I reached out and touched my lower abdomen.
I thought, “My child, I’ve taken the revenge.”
Two years later, I had a new family.
My husband loved me very much and we lived a sweet life.
I had another child, also a girl.
I went to the church and told Amy the good news.
When I came out of the church, I unexpectedly saw Zed, with two policemen following him.
He looked at my belly, and his smile was bitter.
“Congratulations.”
“Thanks.” I responded calmly.
“I will apply to come here every year.”
He clasped his hands together and looked at the church sincerely.
“I am sorry for Amy. I killed her. I can’t do anything for her. I can only come to accompany her every
year.
I pursed my lips.
It was said that only after experiencing great adversity could one be enlightened. I didn’t understand. this before, but I understood it after seeing Zed.
However, the cost of enlightenment was too high and it was too late.
“After I get out of prison, I will become a priest here. I can accompany Amy all the time and also make up for the mistakes I made.”
After saying that, Zed looked into my eyes closely, hoping to see an expression other than calmness in
my eyes.
But there was only peace in my eyes.
I no longer had any emotions fowards him.
Now, he was just a stranger to me.
“Honey.”
A middle–aged man came over running.
He was my husband. He was not handsome and wouldn’t say sweet words, but he treated me well. “Honey, drink some water.”
He took out a water bottle from his bag and looked at Zed.
“Is he your friend?”
Before I could speak, Zed said, “Yes, I am Nancy’s friend.”
I knew that Zed didn’t want my husband to misunderstand.. “Hello.”
My husband held out his hand.
Zed stretched out his hand and shook hands with my husband.
“Nancy is a good woman, and you must treat her well.”
“Of course.”
Zed nodded and walked into the church under the supervision of two policemen.
“Honey, your friend works in the police office?”
I didn’t answer my husband’s question but reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
“Let’s go home.‘
“Okay”
I looked back at Zed, then held my husband’s hand tightly with a happy smile.
The past was gone.
I should cherish the people with me now.
