"Addy, I have to teach him a lesson today!" Simon did not let go of his hand on Sean's collar.
In his opinion, it was very shameful for a man to use violence against a woman. He felt that no matter what happened, as a man, a husband, he should not solve problem with violence. A man like Sean would only make him feel that Sean was a loser!
"No!" Addy shook her head, urging him inexplicably, and even a little begging. "Simon, it's none of your business. Please, you'd better leave as soon as possible!"
Simon frowned and couldn't understand it. "Addy, at this time, how can you still protect him?"
"Haha!" Sean suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"How can you still laugh?" Simon gritted his teeth and clenched his fingers. He almost hit him again. But because his arm was caught by Addy in time, he could only say in a low voice, "Addy, it is not the first time of him to do this. You can't always forgive him. There is legal responsibility for domestic violence. We have to call the police to arrest him!"
"Where did your righteousness come from? Wasn't it all thanks to you that she became like this today?" Sean's drooping hand swayed a few times before he managed to point at him.
"What do you mean?" Simon's peach blossom eyes suddenly narrowed.
The expression on Addy's face suddenly changed, and she trembled and wanted to stop him. "Sean, stop..."
However, Sean acted as if he didn't hear it or he didn't intend to listen to her persuasion. He sneered and spat out a smell of alcohol. "If it weren't for you, how could she be raped by turns by those foreigners? How could she be pregnant and lose her uterus—"
Simon was shocked on the spot. Addy, who was next to him, closed her eyes in desperation and trembling. Two lines of tears fell down.
They went to a private hospital at night.
In the Emergency Department's observation ward, Addy changed into a hospital gown and leaned against the head of the bed. Her face and body's injuries had been treated.
A doctor in a white coat was standing next to the bed, holding a few pieces of CT slices in his hand, and said to Simon, "Fortunately, there is no intracranial bleeding. It's just a superficial wound on the head, the scalp on her forehead was bruised with swelling, the upper eyelid of the right eye drooped slightly, and the rest are some external injuries. At present, it doesn't seem to be serious. She needs to take a good rest!"
"Thank you!" Simon pulled his lips.
The doctor and Simon were colleagues. He smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm going to do other work now!"
Simon nodded. After sending the doctor out of the ward, he walked back again.
There were only the two of them in the ward, and no one spoke for a while. The air was depressing. He pulled out a chair and sat on it. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Addy, what the hell is going on... Did Sean really talk nonsense? Does it have anything to do with me?"
Sean drank a lot of wine, and now his body seemed to have the smell of alcohol as well. The drunkard's actions and behavior were stimulated by alcohol. Nothing could be taken seriously, no matter what he said or did!
However, there was still one more saying. One will speak the truth after drinking.
In the class reunion that Addy had just returned to China, someone had mentioned it, and Simon had never forgotten it for so many years.
He learned the fact afterward. After returning from Los Angeles, Addy had been sent to the hospital. He still remembered that when he rushed there, Addy couldn't even sit up. Her face and body were all injured. She was very weak, like a decayed flower...
Suddenly, something came to Simon's mind. His heart throbbed slightly, but he felt like he was falling straight down.
He raised his head in disbelief and carefully asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it them? Addy..."
"Yes..." Addy closed her eyes and nodded.
Her face was paler than before, and she said in an awkward voice, "They not only beat and kicked me, but also blocked me in an alley. Several foreign men rushed up, stripped my clothes and pants, and raped me one by one..."
"I also wanted to resist. I also called for help, but no one paid attention to me. I was so scared that I could only try my best to push them away, but it was useless... Until they finished. I was left at the corner of the street and sent to the hospital by the patrolling police..."
It seemed that the memory was so terrible that when Addy thought of it, her lips were trembling, like fragile stamens in the snow, and her tears rolled down silently.
"I tried very hard to be strong at that time. I wanted to treat it as if nothing had happened. But not long after I recovered from my injury and was discharged from the hospital, I found that I was pregnant. I broke down and felt that the whole world was gray! There were several men that night. I didn't even see their faces clearly. I only remembered their lewd laughter..." The clenched fists of Addy kept shaking.
She closed her eyes, and her expression and tone were painful. "I didn't know who was the child's father. No matter who it was, I couldn't accept it! I didn't dare to go to the regular hospital, afraid of being discovered or leaving traces, so I could only choose a small clinic. I didn't expect it to trigger a big hemorrhage. Finally, I lost my uterus, and the doctor said that I couldn't get pregnant anymore..."
