Winnie's tears could not help falling drop by drop on the child's body, even if she didn’t want to, she had to give the child to his father.
Because Winnie needed money, because Winnie was not able to raise him.
There was too much helplessness for a person’s life. What she was facing was the cruelest thing.
Forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Winnie turned off the lights in the room before letting the man in.
In the darkness, the tall and straight figure carried the faint smell of cologne. Everything had not changed, but a child was in the room.
"When you left, it was confirmed that you were not pregnant. What happened to the baby?"
As he spoke, the man's sharp eyes fell on the baby who was squirming on the bed. Although he could not see his face clearly, but he could feel his weakness.
"The doctor said it is normal. Because I had period, I didn't know I was pregnant until it had been four months."
It was the first time Winnie talked about her privacy with a strange man, and she was not so calm.
"What is your purpose in coming to me after the baby had been born?"
The man was still cold and harsh in the voice with obvious anger.
"Money, I wouldn't have sent you the baby if I haven't needed money badly."
Winnie stated the truth. If not for the money, she would rather take the child to lead a miserable life than send the child over. All this was about the money.
"You have been short of money for a long time. I hate people who play tricks on me, tell me your purpose."
The man grumbled impatiently.
"I am not playing tricks. You think too much. I really should have come to you when I was pregnant. I didn't need money urgently like this, so I planned to live with the baby on my own, but the reality was not as simple as I thought. I don't have the ability to raise him."
Winnie struggled to force herself to say the complete words. No one could understand her pain at this time.
"Nothing more. You need not suspect me. Make a DNA check and we'll talk."
Winnie did not want to talk to this man anymore. Although the child was still small and had no memory or cognition and could not understand what they were saying. But these words were cruel to it.
Winnie knew what the man was suspicious and understood his reaction, but DNA could solve everything, right?
"You think DNA is going to solve everything? You've been gone for ten months. Do you know it changes a lot during this period?"
The man suddenly shouted loudly, which frightened the baby in the bed.
Whoa! The baby cried. Winnie quickly turned back to appease the child. Although he could not see the expression on her face, but the maternal brilliance in her voice was undoubtedly exposed.
"Honey, don't cry, Mommy is here. Don't be afraid."
The baby seemed to be scared. No matter how Winnie appeased him, he was still crying loudly. Winnie had no choice but to soothe her baby's fears with breast milk.
Winnie picked up the child, turned her back to the man, and began to nurse skillfully. This series of actions made the man frown.
The baby stopped crying at last and soon fell asleep.
Winnie put the child gently down again and turned to face the man. She still could not see the man's face, but she could feel the man’s cold breath.
"Speak quietly and don't frighten the baby."
She reminded him and then continued to speak.
"I don't know what you were trying to say to me with that rant, but I don't want to know. I'm here today to talk to you about the baby. If you want it, you can take it to have a paternity test, if you don’t want it, I can take it right away. I have no money, but I wouldn't starve him to death."
"Besides, it's only one chance for you and me today. In the future, my baby and I will never come to this villa to you, and please do not disturb our life for the rest of your life.
Winnie turned around to hold the baby, but was violently pulled back by the man. Winnie did not expect that and directly was pulled into the arms of the man, hitting his strong chest.
"You..."
At the time of surrogacy, Winnie did not expect to have such a deep feeling for the baby, but now she was extremely suffering.
If it were not for debts and reparations, she would have brought up the child in spite of her pains.
Looking at the sleeping baby and its lovely little face, Winnie felt the urge to take her baby away with her. But just as she began to pack up the baby’s things, her aunt, Isobel Chambers, called.
"Winwin, how are things going?"
"Aunt, I think..."
Winnie was about to say she wanted to bring her baby back, but she heard someone else's voice on the other end of the line.
"Don't put it off. It has been nearly a year since my husband's death. Your compensation has not been paid to us yet. We have elderly and children to take care of.”
"Give us the money now, and don’t find any more excuses. You say you have no money, but you live a good life."
Winnie knew what had happened form the sound and they should be the family of the deceased.
For nearly a year after the accident, Winnie hadn't had a chance to meet the deceased's family. This was the first time they had come to ask for money, which was nice enough to her.
"Winnie, come back if it didn’t work. We will think of other ways."
Isobel said, feeling distressed.
"Aunt, tell them not to worry. I will give them an answer in just a few days."
Winnie, in such circumstances, finally gave up her idea.
The man came again in the next day. The moment he opened the door, the room was till dark.
"Have the results come out?
Winnie asked in a low voice, so as not to wake the child.
