Zhou Na stood across the street, waving at us excitedly and shouting, "Shu Ge!"
Yu Fengshu frowned, and in the next moment, Zhou Na ran across the road.
"Shu Ge, I missed you so much." She threw herself into Yu Fengshu's arms.
Yu Fengshu instinctively supported her and frowned, saying, "You're pregnant; don't run around."
Zhou Na looked up at him and smiled sweetly, "I just wanted to see you quickly."
Yu Fengshu sighed and glanced at me with a complicated expression.
Zhou Na followed his gaze and looked at me, her smile freezing: "Shu Ge, did you bring Sister Jiajia to see me?"
Yu Fengshu replied with a soft "mm."
Zhou Na hurriedly released Yu Fengshu and walked towards me, her face filled with panic as she explained, "Sister Jiajia, I..."
She reached out to touch me, but I took a cautious step back and coldly said, "Don't touch me."
Yu Fengshu immediately stepped forward to stand between us, advising, "Jiajia, Xiao Na didn't mean it; please don't be angry."
With red-rimmed eyes and a trembling voice, Zhou Na said, "I'm sorry, Sister Jiajia. I only wanted to keep the baby. I didn't want to disturb you both, but my health has deteriorated. I might... I might not be able to raise the child, so I..."
"So you want Yu Fengshu to help you raise it?"
"No, no! That's not it." She shook her head quickly. "I promised Shu Ge that after giving birth, I would leave and never disturb your lives. Sister Jiajia, please believe me."
"Whether I believe you or not doesn't matter," I replied coldly. "I won't touch you; you shouldn't touch me either. I'll terminate the pregnancy and then divorce Yu Fengshu."
"Jiajia..." Yu Fengshu grabbed my arm with red eyes and said, "Have we really come to this point?"
I shook off his hand and said firmly, "Yes."
When I got home that night, I called Dong Yan to tell her that I agreed to the abortion and also to the divorce.
Dong Yan said, "I'll be with you."
The next day, I packed a few things and moved out of the house.
Yu Fengshu yelled at me, " Ma Jia, think carefully. Once you walk out that door, you'll never have another chance."
"I've thought it through."
"Do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
"Yes."
"You're lying!"
"Yu Fengshu, the one lying is you."
His expression froze, and his eyes dimmed instantly.
"You never loved me from the beginning; you just saw me as her shadow."
"I'm not!" he roared.
"I love you, but you never acknowledge my feelings. You have always loved him. I'm just a substitute, yet I still love you. I'm such a fool; I know you have someone else in your heart, but I still love you. I thought that if we had a child, you would settle down and be with me properly. I thought the child would be my support, but what about you? How could you be so heartless? That was my child, my own flesh and blood. You didn't even blink when you said you wanted to get rid of it. Ma Jia, you have no heart; you've never loved me."
"Yes." I looked at him, tears streaming down my face, but my heart felt completely calm.
"I have no heart, I have never loved you.
You can demean yourself, you can be a substitute,
but you cannot blame your mistakes on me.
It was you who fell in love with me, it was you who willingly became a substitute,
it was your own choice to do this, not me forcing you."
"Yu Fengshu, from beginning to end, it was all your own doing."
"Jiajia..."
"Let's get a divorce."
Dong Yan found me an apartment, and after settling in, I followed her to the hospital.
All the way, I remained calm.
Dong Yan said, "If you're feeling upset, just cry it out; you don't have to hold back with me."
I smiled lightly and replied, "I'm not upset."
"Jiajia, do you love him?"
I paused for a moment and said, "I used to love him."
"And now?"
"I don't love him anymore."
Dong Yan sighed and gently patted my back.
"Jiajia, you're not at fault, and neither is he; the fault lies with fate."
"Xiao Yan, do you know?
I once thought that falling in love with him was the greatest fortune of my life,
but now I realize it is the greatest misfortune."
"Jiajia, don't think like that; there is no right or wrong between people.
A mistake is a mistake, and a right is a right; it won't change because of anyone."
