Chapter 45 Blackmail
The noon sun shone into the room through the window, making originally gloomy mood begin to rise.
As lunch time approached, Rose came to the kitchen of the Tina's. She opened the refrigerator and found only a few eggs and a bag of stale vegetables were left. Obviously, Tina hadn't cooked for several days. Thinking of how weak and listless Tina was now, Rose sighed.
She had no choice but to open her bag and order two take out using her mobile phone.
Soon, the delivery guy delivered the food to the door. Rose limped to the door to get some food and then returned to the room.
"Tina, it's time for dinner." Rose yelled at Tina in the room.
Hearing this, Tina got out of the bed, tidied up her pajamas and messy hair, and went to the table, where a strong flavor came in.
Rose ordered a set of boiled meat set. She remembered that Tina loved spicy food, so she took her to the small restaurant opposite the school every day to have spicy fish, which must be a bit spicy. It was quite spicy for them. They drank ice water and cried with it, then they ate it happily.
She recalled how happy she was in school and how miserable she was now, which made Rose's heart ache.
Tina sat down at the table and opened the takeout food box. It seemed that she lost her appetite for food she liked most before. When she gently rubbed the red soup box with chopsticks, she was absent- minded.
"What are you thinking? Come on! I remember you like spicy food the most. " Rose knocked on the table in front of Tina.
"I have no appetite." Tina was still holding her chopsticks.
"come on, for the baby's sake." Rose reminded her.
When Tina heard the word "baby", her eyes lit up. She slowly picked up some rice and put it into her mouth, forcing herself to eat it.
It was not relieved until she saw her friend began to eat. They ate quietly together.
After lunch, Tina went back to her room and simply washed and tidied up, so that she wouldn't look so tired.
In the messy living room, Rose was calling her driver to pick her up. However, she couldn't get through to the other side for several times.
After a long while, the phone was finally answered, "Hello, Terry? I'm Lin Ruan. You come to pick up the servants in the southern garden complex. I need to go to the women's hospital. "
"Hello, Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry. I'm in the maternity hospital now. My wife just got into the delivery room, and I have to stay here with her. Can I ask for a leave from you?" Terry faltered on the other end of the line.
Hearing this, Rose touched her forehead. As a husband, she should stay with his wife and children. She could understand.
"Well, then take good care of your wife." After saying that, Rose hung up the phone.
At that time, Tina had just come out of her room, tiding up her stuff. Although she was still very tired, it was much better than she looked sick in the morning.
"That's it. Take care of yourself, for the sake of the baby." Looking at Tina carefully, Rose held her hand and comforted her in a soft voice.
"Yes..." Tina answered in a low voice, as a yes.
"My driver has asked for a leave. It seems that we have to take a taxi to the hospital." As she took her bag, she explained to Tina.
"It doesn't matter. We are normal people. When we go out, we often take subway, bus or taxi. I get used to it." Teased Tina, though in a light tone.
Hearing this, Rose, who was still worried about Tina, felt relieved. She knew that it was a joke, which meant that she was in a good mood now.
"Come on, don't make fun of me. Let's go." With a bright smile on her face, Rose held her hand and walked out slowly.
"Ladies, where are you going?" The taxi driver, who was waiting for their business at the gate of the housing estate, pulled down the window and greeted when he saw the two ladies walk slowly towards them.
"Well, Whether you go to the maternity hospital or not?" Rose bent over and asked the driver in the car window.
"Come on. Get in the car." The taxi driver gestured for them to get in.
The taxi soon arrived at the maternity hospital.
After registration, line up, blood drawing, examination and a series of procedures, both Rose and Tina were very tired, and sighed at the difficulties of being a mother.
When she finished the prenatal checkup, it was almost at dusk and the sky gradually got dark.
The injury on the foot had not been fully healed. After another busy day, Rose gradually felt a little tired. They held each other's arms and walked out of the hospital.
They came to the entrance of the hospital and hailed a taxi. Unexpectedly, they ran into an old woman who was in a hurry.
"Ouch! My legs!" The old woman fell to the ground with one leg curled up and muttered. She looked extremely painful.
"Are you okay?" Seeing this, Rose hurriedly loosened Tina's arm and bent down to help her up.
"Oh my god, My legs are broken." However, the old man ignored the hand of Rose and struggled not to get up. Her loud voice attracted many passersby.
Seeing the old lady's roguish behavior, Tina understood. She reached out and pulled Rose, who was trying to help her up, back. Tina whispered in Rose's ear, "I'm afraid I've encountered a blackmail."
" Blackmail..." A wry smile appeared on Rose's face. She had only heard about it on TV. She didn't expect to see in reality.
The old woman on the ground shouted to them arrogantly, "give me money! My legs were broken. How could I not give you ten thousand Yuan? "
"Ten thousand?! You rob the money! " Tina was furious.
"It's unfair! You two don't want to pay for the accident? " The old woman saw that they had no intention to give the money to her, so she started to cry. More and more people gathered around them. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Seeing more and more people coming, Rose felt a little uneasy. She gently pulled the sleeve of Tina and whispered, "let's give little money to her. It seems that she won't give up." Besides, Tina was
pregnant. If she lost control, she would get hurt easily. She had a miscarriage before, so she was naturally sensitive to this.
Taking a look at Rose, Tina disagreed firmly. "No!" I know your husband, Burke, is good at making money, but you shouldn't spend so much money like this. You shouldn't indulge the bad news. " Then Tina turned to the old woman on the ground and shouted, "Just do whatever you like, we won't give you money!" She put on a situation where no one could bargain with him.
When the two sides were at a stalemate, Austin drove past by. Seeing the crowd in front of them, he wanted to detour. But he did not expect to see the blank and helpless face of Rose through the gap of the crowd. An idea came to his mind and she immediately stopped the car at the roadside.
