When my daughter and I were abducted, the kidnappers demanded that I call Sean for assistance. At that time, he was with Luna, who had just entered the profession, learning anatomical analysis. When he received the call, he merely said one sentence. “How long are you going to play such pranks? I’m occupied with important matters. I’m hanging up now.” I wept while laughing. Perhaps he had never cared about my daughter and me. But why did he go berserk and shout when he later saw my daughter’s body on the dissection table? “She’s going to die, Sean, she’s going to die. Please…” “Is it amusing to joke about death? Then go ahead and die.” When the call was ended, I was plunged into the depths of despair. My mobile phone was snatched away forcefully, and I was kicked and spat upon. “Pah, can’t come up with five million? Then don’t blame me!” Jenny, huddled behind me, was trembling all over. Finally unable to hold back her tears, she sobbed softly and asked me – “Mommy, why doesn’t Daddy want to come and save us?” I didn’t know how to respond. I shook my head, crying and attempting to embrace her, but suddenly she was yanked away by the kidnappers. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. This little girl is rather lovely.” Realizing what might transpire next, I fought like a madwoman to hold onto Jenny. I couldn’t hold her. I couldn’t hold her. I couldn’t protect her. I was trampled on the ground and kicked numerous times. I watched Jenny crying her heart out, my teeth clenched so tightly that they seemed on the verge of breaking, and my fingertips pierced through my palms, leaving them bloody and mangled. But all of this was insignificant compared to the pain Jenny was enduring. I knelt on the ground and kowtowed to each of them, banging my head until it bled, pleading with them to release Jenny. I could… Later, they grew impatient. Just as the ashtray was about to smash against the back of my head, for some unknown reason, everything came to an abrupt halt. The robbers gathered their belongings and fled in all directions. When the door was kicked open with a “bang”, I was crawling on all fours towards Jenny. I was trembling violently. I didn’t dare to touch her or look at her. Jenny slowly reached out her blood – smeared hand to touch my face. “Mommy, Mommy, don’t cry. Jenny doesn’t hurt…” “Winnie,Winnie, it’s okay, it’s okay…” A man in a police uniform appeared before me. I cried and begged him. “Brother Henry, save Jenny, save her…” I don’t recall how I left that place. All I know is that I was delirious and incoherent until I received the assurance that Jenny would be fine. Then I finally passed out completely. I struggled out of the endless nightmare with such hope. But when I awoke, Henry informed me that Jenny was on the verge of death. “Sorry,Winnie…” When I rushed into the intensive care unit, Jenny’s breathing was already extremely weak. She still managed to smile obediently at me, a smile that was both difficult and painful. She seemed to be aware that she was going to die. She said, “Mommy, I want to see Daddy one more time.” “I want to remember you both…” I nodded frantically, tears streaming down my face. I hurriedly took my mobile phone from Henry and dialed the number that had been silent all this time. “Beep -” It was promptly hung up. My heart was pounding faster and faster. Answer the phone, answer the phone, Sean. On the third call, he still didn’t answer. Each one was hung up without hesitation. I ceased calling. I held Jenny’s hand and begged her to wait for me to return. I promised to come back with Daddy. I rushed out of the ward and was stopped by Henry. I was in such a hurry that I thought he was going to prevent me. I shook off his hand and told him to leave me alone and not stop me. Finally, he drove at high speed and took me to the research institute where Sean and Luna were. I wasn’t an authorized person in the research institute, so I couldn’t enter. Actually, Luna wasn’t either, but she was granted access by Sean’s special permission. I stood at the entrance and called Sean’s name loudly. “Sean -” I called again and again until my voice became hoarse. Finally, Sean frowned and pulled open the curtain on the second floor. His expression was extremely cold, and his brows still bore the lingering traces of annoyance and displeasure. “Winnie, what on earth do you want?” “Do you have to come to the research institute to embarrass me?”
I intended to explain the situation briefly, but before I could utter a word, Sean turned his head. He was drawn by a soft and joyous voice. “Master, I understand! I know why it’s like this here! Master, come quickly, I’ll tell you!” When looking at Luna, Sean’s eyes were always so tender. It had been many years since I had been gazed at so gently. Sean and I were experiencing the seven – year itch. He wouldn’t mention divorce, nor would he think that he no longer loved me. He just wasn’t as interested as before, not as excited. He regarded me as a stagnant pool. When Luna entered his world, she was like a ray of light, illuminating him. So he was enchanted and couldn’t help but be kind to her. I didn’t care. I truly didn’t care. As long as he was willing to come back with me, everything would be fine. “Okay, I’m coming.” “Yeah, it’s nothing. Don’t worry.” How I wished I could tell him that there was something, really something. But he had already lifted his foot and left, never looking back at me. But I wasn’t willing to give up. I didn’t want Jenny to depart with eternal regret. So I asked Henry to leave first, to keep an eye on Jenny’s condition and contact me at any time. I wanted to stay here and take Sean away. But why was it so arduous? The security guards no longer permitted me to call Sean, believing that it would disrupt many people. They warned me that if I made any more noise, they would eject me directly. Later, I could only keep sending him messages and calling him. I told him that Jenny was dying and wanted to see him one last time. Then, I was blocked on WeChat, and my phone number was also added to the blacklist. He still didn’t believe me. I had never been more desolate than at this moment. I waited and waited outside the door until I saw Luna coming downstairs to get milk tea. “Master, I’m here to get the milk tea you ordered for me. Haha, Master, you have such a great memory. I only mentioned my preference once, and you remembered it!” “Okay, okay, I got it. The road is slippery on rainy days. Be careful when you walk! Master, you’re so nagging -” When passing by me, she let out an “ah”. “Madam, you’re still here? Haven’t given up yet?” “Alas, Madam, such tricks are so passé. You should read fewer of those old – fashioned romance novels. They’re so silly.” Luna’s seemingly innocent remarks were actually like countless needles piercing my heart, without any mercy. But I had no alternative. She was the only person who could get in touch with Sean. So I bowed to her and swore a solemn oath with my life to prove the truth of my words. I implored her to believe me and to go and inform Sean. What did Luna say at that time? She said, “Oh my god, how pitiful. Madam, don’t worry. I’ll go and tell Master!” Then, Sean didn’t come. During my interminable waiting, I received the news that Jenny’s condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse. I didn’t dare to linger. I rushed back to the hospital at top speed. That was the last time I saw Jenny. She couldn’t even lift her hand. I didn’t dare to hold her hand too tightly. I was trembling all over. I was afraid that she would ask me – Mommy, where’s Daddy? How should I reply? She didn’t ask. She said to me in a hoarse and feeble voice: “Mommy, Jenny loves you, so much, so much…” At the last moment of her life, she silently uttered that word – Daddy. My Jenny was calling for Daddy. But her Daddy didn’t come and wouldn’t come. My Jenny didn’t get to see Daddy one last time and left this world with regret. It was pouring rain that day. And I had lost my daughter forever.
“Jenny’s homeroom teacher said that Jenny hasn’t been to school for two days. She couldn’t find you, so she called me.” “Winnie, what on earth are you doing?” “I told you that Luna is a promising talent. I, I admire her a great deal. The relationship between me and her is a normal teacher – student relationship. Do you have to go crazy just because I like her?” “Don’t have time to talk about this. Hurry up and send Jenny back to school.” The first call that Sean had made in such a long time was a rebuke. I listened expressionlessly and then hung up. At that time, I hadn’t slept for three days. I watched with my own eyes as Jenny’s body was placed into the freezer, and since then, I could scarcely close my eyes. I didn’t have Jenny anymore. I had lost her forever. Henry said that to extract the DNA evidence left by the criminals in Jenny’s body and to conduct a series of identifications, an autopsy had to be performed. He said that the expert invited for the identification was quite busy and had to wait until he was free, so Jenny had to be put into the freezer to be preserved for a while. During these days, Henry was concerned about my mental state and had taken almost all the leave he could. “Winnie, eat something. How can you catch those scoundrels if you continue like this?” I wanted to eat too. But whenever I ate something, I would always vomit it out. I had no option. I really had no option. When I vomited until there was only acid in my stomach again, I finally couldn’t hold on and collapsed. And was caught by Henry, who was quick – witted and deft – handed. He carried me away from this place close to Jenny and walked towards the hospital. And we encountered the last person I wanted to see. “Henry, Winnie, why are you two together?” Before he could finish frowning and asking, Luna, who was behind him, tugged at his sleeve and whined pitifully. “Master, my hand hurts…” Only then did I notice the small wound on Luna’s wrist. It wasn’t deep, nor was it that severe. But it was sufficient to make Sean feel sympathetic towards her. He didn’t even concern himself with us and simply left with Luna. When leaving, he only said one sentence – “Have some decency.” “I’m not dead yet.” Just as he was about to turn around and leave, I suddenly spoke. My voice was hoarse and unpleasant due to vomiting for many days, rough like stones grating, as if I was muttering to myself. “Sean, you might as well be dead.” When I lay in bed, sleepless all night, the next morning, the door of the ward was pushed open violently. “Winnie, finally found you.” “What are you crazy about?” “Where’s the child? Where’s Jenny? Where did you hide her?” I stared at him numbly and suddenly laughed. Tears slid down from the corners of my eyes, wetting my clothes. I had cried so many times these days that when the tears slid past the corners of my eyes, a sharp pain like countless needles pricking my heart emerged. I opened my hoarse voice: “Sean, Jenny is gone.” Sean frowned fiercely and strode towards me, grasping my wrist. “Winnie, are you ill?” “Is this something to joke about?” His grip was surprisingly strong, and soon my wrist turned red. Looking at him like this, suddenly I felt a wave of nausea rising again. I vomited. There was nothing in my stomach to vomit except acid and some blood. Sean was a bit of a germophobe. Seeing me like this, he took several steps back. I vomited until my throat burned as if on fire, and then I stopped. I reached for the bag on the cabinet and with some difficulty pulled out a document from it. With all my strength, I threw it in front of Sean. Sean didn’t pick it up. “Sean, let’s get a divorce.” Just then, the door of the ward was opened by someone. “Winnie, I bought fresh millet porridge. The doctor said that your stomach has been in a bad state because you haven’t eaten for too long. You can only drink some porridge first…” Sean glanced at the divorce agreement on the floor and then at Henry who pushed the door and entered. He suddenly sneered sarcastically. “Winnie, so eager to get a divorce. Is it because of him?” “When you married me, you swore that you would only love me for a lifetime. Has your lifetime become so short so quickly?” Sean was a cold person and didn’t like to argue. But once he was serious, his words were like thorny cacti, stabbing painfully. “Winnie, I never thought you were this kind of person.” “To run away with another man for the sake of divorce and hide your own daughter. You can do such things.” “You want a divorce, okay. Jenny will be raised by me. As for you, this irresponsible mother, I won’t let her see you again.” My breathing suddenly became rapid. I grabbed the water glass on the bedside and threw it at Sean with all my might. I really had no strength left. I missed. I was crying, every word like blood. “With you? How? “Jenny is gone. She left. She’s dead!” This word “dead” was the one I had been reluctant to mention all along. Now, in front of Sean, I made myself a broken mess again. Pillows, books, mobile phones, I lost control of my emotions and threw everything I could at him. Finally, exhausted, I collapsed on the ground and was caught by Henry. I knew Henry was clenching his fists tightly. He wanted to hit Sean. But his identity didn’t allow him to make mistakes. I shook my head at him. Sean stood there for a long, long time. Finally, he just threw one sentence at me – “Winnie, you’re simply irrational.” He turned to leave, and Henry said in a calm voice. “On the third floor of the freezer room in District B, Jenny is there.” Sean sneered. “You two, quite good at acting.” “My daughter is gone. How could I not know?” Haha, right. How could he not know?
