Although he knew that one day it would be revealed, for now, he wanted to continue this dream.
Even… if this dream would only last for a few short days.
————
The next day, when Tina woke up, she felt refreshed and hadn’t slept so well in a long time.
After freshening up, Kit took her downstairs for breakfast, and then brought her to the hospital.
However, in the hospital, Kit used a stranger’s ID to register her.
“Why are you using someone else’s ID to register?” she curiously asked.
“Your ID is lost, and if you need to get a new one, it takes time. For now, we’ll temporarily use someone else’s for the convenience of checking your pregnancy status,” Kit replied.
In reality, he didn’t dare take Tina to get a new ID.
If they really went to the relevant authorities to get a new one… his lie would no longer be able to continue.
The Stephenson family and the Hunter family would undoubtedly receive the news immediately and come to pick her up.
And he just wanted to spend a few more days with her.
At the hospital, Tina had a prenatal check-up. The result showed that the baby in her belly was slightly underdeveloped, about three weeks behind the normal growth for its age. This was likely due to malnutrition considering Tina’s previous nutritional condition.
As long as the nutrition is supplemented, the baby’s growth will naturally catch up.
After the check-up, Kit took Tina to the mall. Yesterday, he only bought a few clothes temporarily, but in his opinion, it was far from enough.
He wanted to give her more.
Tina, on the other hand, thought the clothes she bought yesterday were enough.
“Yesterday, I just randomly picked two pieces, but those two are not enough. You can choose more that you like, and besides clothes and shoes, you can also look for other things you like. However, this mall is a bit small. I’ll take you to the city in a few days. There are more malls there, and they are bigger, with more brands inside.”
Tina couldn’t help but say, “You are too good to me. I don’t know what to do.”
Kit looked at Tina with tender eyes. “I’m afraid I’m not good enough to you. I only want to be better to you… to give you everything I can!”
Tina was stunned. The tears she had shed in the village and the sweetness this man gave her now seemed like two extremes.
And the way he looked at her was so gentle, as if his eyes were filled with nothing but her!
This man really loves her!
Tina bought some things in the mall, and in addition, Kit bought her a lot of nutritional supplements suitable for pregnant women, as if he was afraid she would continue to suffer from malnutrition.
In the following days, Kit rented a nice detached house in the local area. It had a yard with many flowers and plants, which made people feel much better.
The house was nicely decorated, and with a little arrangement, it felt very warm.
“Let’s live here for now. After you give birth to the baby…” Kit hesitated for a moment, “at that time, we can find another place.”
“Won’t we go back to our previous home?” Tina asked, puzzled.
In her opinion, since she was carrying Kit’s child and from some of Kit’s words, it seemed that they were not married.
But even if they were just boyfriend and girlfriend, it was very likely that they would live together at the stage of pregnancy.
Kit lowered his gaze. “I sold our previous home because I don’t think we’ll go back to that city anymore.
So in the future, we’ll have to buy a new home.”
Another lie!
He just didn’t want to take her back to Emerald City because once they returned, all these lies would be easily exposed.
Fortunately, Tina believed his words, but she wondered, “Why won’t we go back?”
“Because I have broken ties with my father. I don’t want to be controlled by him anymore, so I don’t want to go back to that city,” he explained.
She paused for a moment and asked, “What about your mother?”
“She died a long time ago. I grew up in an orphanage, and my father only came to get me when I was 8 years old. He thought he could give me fatherly love.”
“But it was just another form of exploitation.”
“If he didn’t have this decent appearance, my father would never have adopted me.”
The One I Love Most is You “And after I left the entertainment industry, I lost my usefulness to my father.”
“He took back the house he had given me and most of the money I had earned over the years. I was left with only a couple hundred thousand.”
“This money is enough for me to live a normal life. The extravagant lifestyle I used to have is no longer possible.”
“But I don’t regret it because I want to live life on my own terms.”
“Now, I’m grateful for this decision. It’s why I left Emerald City and found Tina in a place far away from there!”
“Tina, you’re the only one I have left now,” Kit murmured. “Even if it’s just for a short time, I hope you can feel happiness by my side.”
“I already feel happy now,” Tina said.
Kit embraced the person in front of them, using it as a shield to hide their own bitterness. If one day, the Hunter family or the Stephenson family were to find them or if she remembered the past.
Will she still feel happy then?
“Remember, you are the person I love the most in this world. No matter what the future holds, it will always be you,” Kit whispered.
“Me too!” Tina buried her face deeper into Kit’s chest.
Once upon a time, a person wandered anxiously in that unfamiliar village every day.
But now, with Kit by her side, she finally wasn’t as afraid! She felt that life was becoming more and more stable.
She lived a peaceful and orderly life, and Tina felt happy every day.
However, alongside her happiness, deep down in her heart, there was always an unshakable sense of urgency, as if her body was urging her to do something.
But she didn’t know what exactly she should do!
In the middle of the night, Tina was awakened by a nightmare!
She sat up, still a bit dazed.
“What’s wrong?” Kit rushed into Tina’s room after hearing the commotion and asked.
“I just had a nightmare,” Tina replied softly.
“A nightmare?” Kit asked worriedly, “What kind of nightmare?”
As he spoke, he turned on the bedside lamp and gently wiped the sweat from Tina’s forehead with a tissue.
“I dreamt of a man,” Tina said, unaware that Kit’s hand suddenly stopped.
“What kind of man did you dream of?” Kit struggled to control his trembling voice.
“I couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, but he seemed to be in pain, writhing on the ground. I wanted to help him.” Tina said, feeling scared in the dream.
It was as if the man would die if she didn’t approach and help
But no matter how she tried to step forward, she couldn’t get any closer to him.
And then she woke up.
Suddenly, Kit felt a sense of relief. Should he be grateful? Thankful that Tina didn’t see the man’s face in her dream!
“Stop thinking about it, it was just a dream,” Kit said.
“Yeah, just a dream,” Tina whispered.
“Alright, go back to sleep,” Kit said.
Tina suddenly grabbed his hand, “Can you stay with me?”
Kit was taken aback, looking at Tina absentmindedly.
Tina immediately added, as if wanting to explain, “I’m still a bit scared. If you stay with me, maybe I can fall asleep faster.”
“Okay,” Kit said softly, staying by the bedside.
Tina closed her eyes again, but her mouth kept asking, “Do you think the person I dreamt of is someone I knew before?”
Because of her memory loss, she didn’t know who she used to know.
“It’s probably just an insignificant dream, don’t think too much about it. You said you couldn’t even see the man’s face clearly, so how would I know if it’s someone you knew before?” Kit said, “Alright, go to sleep.”
Tina fell asleep again quickly.
Kit, however, stared at Tina’s sleeping face, lost in thought.
As Tina’s belly grew bigger day by day, Kit bought many books about expectant mothers and newborns. He also specifically watched educational videos online for new dads.
“Oh, by the way, have you thought of a name for the baby?”
Tina asked.
Kit stiffened, then forced a smile, “You can choose a name.”
“Don’t you want to name the child?” Tina’s eyes flickered with
“No, it’s just that I’m afraid I won’t be able to come up with a good name. I’m not talented at naming.”
Kit quickly explained, but in fact, he felt that he had no right to name the child in her belly. After all, he was just a fraud.
“Well, then, I’ll come up with a name for the baby. But what name would sound good if the last name is
Hunter?” Tina muttered to herself.
Kit suddenly said, “Let the child have the same surname as you. I don’t want the child to have my surname because my father wasn’t good. I don’t want that surname to be part of the child’s name!”
