When Mina let me into her house, the sky was already showing signs of dawn. It wouldn't be long before she had to get ready for work. I felt like a burden in this world, unnecessary wherever I went.
"I'm fine, I just missed you and wanted to come see you." I held the warm water she handed me, feeling the warmth spread in my palms.
Mina rolled her eyes at me and said, "Did I just meet you today? Stop with the useless talk. What's really going on? Is it that Xiao Minxing bullying you again? That bastard has no humanity. No matter how big the mistake was, he was willing to marry you at that time. You've been married for so long; you shouldn't be so humble towards him. It's time to resolve this, right?"
My heart felt desolate as I whispered, "It's something that can never be resolved."
Mina, frustrated, wrapped her arm around my shoulders and said, "Anan, if it really doesn't work out, let's just give up. I know you love him a lot, but he also said that you can't wake someone who pretends to be asleep. Besides, love isn't everything for a woman. You can still bloom in life without him."
Mina knew all about my unrequited love for Xiao Minxing. Her words were meant for my good, but she didn't know what had happened to me recently or Xiao Minxing's attitude towards marriage. She still thought I was stubbornly holding on.
I only had this one friend. After thinking for a moment, I finally told her, "I had a miscarriage."
Mina waved her hand dismissively and said, "I know that's not true, but hasn't that already passed? Don't tie yourself down with it anymore."
"Mina, I really did have a miscarriage. The baby was over two months along and is gone." Even though it had been more than a month since it happened, bringing it up still caused me sharp pain.
Mina's eyes widened in shock as she stared at me for a long time before asking, "What happened?"
Initially, to trick Xiao Minxing into marrying me, I pretended to be pregnant. Under public pressure, I effectively morally blackmailed him into marriage. Coupled with the elder members of the Xiao family wanting a child, I managed to achieve my goal.
However, afterward, there was no way to justify this nonexistent child. I could only pretend to have a miscarriage again. Unexpectedly, Xiao Minxing discovered the truth on the spot. Although he didn't divorce me or make it public, even now when I think of how he looked at that moment, I can't help but shiver involuntarily.
It was that day when he was so furious that he forced me down on the living room sofa.
This kind of thing is like a floodgate opening; before the pretense of a miscarriage, although we were married, he never touched me. But after that day, he acted like a madman—either not coming home or coming back and demanding various things.
Of course, aside from that night, we took precautions afterward, but it was just that one time that really got me pregnant.
I was only surprised for a moment upon hearing the news, then fell into deep fear. I didn't dare to tell Xiao Minxing, and to protect the fetus's safe growth, I had to avoid him at all costs.
Just as one deception had barely ended, another similar situation arose. Not only did he not believe me, but I couldn't even believe it myself. His actions at the last moment that night were enough to prove all my previous worries.
Mina listened quietly until I finished speaking, then sighed deeply and said, "Actually, if you had told him earlier, he might have taken it seriously. Even if he truly didn't care, there are still the Xiao Family Elders. I've heard his mother is desperate for grandchildren; she would definitely protect you from harm."
I shook my head, trying hard to smile, but tears dripped onto my hand.
"You don't understand, Mina. He hates me so much; he just wants to torment me to death. How could he possibly want our child?"
