And no one would stand up for a woman who had been abandoned.
I walked slowly.
My stomach tightened in waves.
Every step felt like walking on broken glass.
The sky darkened rapidly, and the rain began to fall.
First a drizzle, then a downpour.
I had to stop to catch my breath.
Just then—
A blinding white light tore through the darkness in the distance.
A modified SUV came hurtling towards me without slowing down.
Too fast.
I didn't even have time to dodge.
The next second—
Bang.
I was thrown through the air.
The moment I hit the ground, I heard the sound of my bones breaking.
A sharp pain exploded in my limbs.
I instinctively reached for my abdomen.
Warm blood, mixed with cold rain, seeped through my fingers.
My child…
My child…
My phone rolled out of my bag.
The screen lit up.
I shakily pressed the only emergency contact number.
The phone rang for a long time.
So long that I thought he wouldn't answer.
Finally, it connected.
An impatient voice came from the other end.
"I'm taking Serafina to the hospital."
"Can you stop messing around?"
"Don't bother me anymore."
Then—
Beep.
The call was disconnected.
At that moment, I suddenly fell silent.
The rain was still falling.
The blood was still flowing.
