ANMELDEN
Shanghai city always has four seasons like spring, but this year's winter is very cold. Elaine wore a thin wedding dress standing in front of the floor mirror, her puffy and heavy dress mopping the floor, making her look even thinner. Fortunately, her skin was white and beautiful, her body was very graceful, she was the most beautiful bride today. Someone kicked in the bedroom door.
"Tell me, what exchange conditions do you use?" Dave Bo with his handsome face, his dark black eyes filled with cold stars He threw an old newspaper in Elaine's face. "Miss Elaine, you who are notorious, what kind of exchange conditions did you use to convince my rude mother to let you into my family?" Elaine's brows knitted together, and her hand subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen. Her wedding dress was not a slim-fitting gown, but her eight-month-old belly was already too big to cover. Dave's gaze moved to her stomach, there was drunkenness and mockery in his eyes, "Even pregnant with an illegitimate child!" "No ..." Not an illegitimate child. Elaine subconsciously resisted, Dave took a step to intercept her words, tightly held her neck with one hand, sneered and asked. "No? Not an illegitimate child, so my child? Miss Elaine, I don't seem to know you. Right? Tonight is the first time we meet!" Elaine's neck was clenched in pain, but her hands remained protective of her lower abdomen. “Le, let go of me…” Elaine’s face turned red, her eyes still staring at Dave, “You killed me, you won’t be able to live long either!” Dave's gaze suddenly became gentle, and the strength of his hands also became gentle. Elaine fell to the ground, her thin and white neck had a trace of red, she held her neck with trembling hands, took a deep breath, greeted the man's line of sight. "Your mother didn't tell you? Three brothers in the Bo family died of cancer, the Bo family has a record of having abnormal genetics, and you can't escape either. You have up to 80% of the risk of getting blood cancer and it just so happens that you and I have matching DNA cells." "What are you talking about?” Dave tightened his fingers and his jaw lines tightened, “It’s just a possibility!” “That’s just a possibility! But it’s a danger that is very likely to happen! Your mother only has you as one son now, the possibility is 80%, she can’t gamble!” Elaine smiled, “You asked me about what exchange conditions? The condition is that I donate my bone marrow to you, but you must forget your first love and marry me.” Dave's facial expression became even uglier, he was silent for a moment before speaking in a derogatory manner. "Elaine, except for marriage, I can promise you anything." "Apart from getting married, I don't want anything." Elaine's gaze was firm and her tone could be described as stubborn. Dave lifted Elaine from the ground, holding her chin down, his cold gaze was red with silk. "Why? Do you like me to the point of going crazy? Even if you are going to complete the marriage yourself with your big belly, you still want to marry me? Do you know that the position of Mrs. Bo belongs to my girlfriend, it belongs to Jenny Lin!" Jenny... Elaine's ears pricked, and her stomach was churning so badly. His words were like knives she ignored them but it was clear that the name "Jenny" had stabbed her heart. Her nose was sour, she pursed her lips, took a deep breath, forced the liquid in her eyelids to return. She then greeted the man's sight coldly. "I'm very glad that Mr. Bo still remembers your girlfriend. Are you here because you miss Jenny?" Jenny's disappearance really has something to do with you!? Dave's thin lips curled into a sly knife, and his strong fingers almost crushed her chin. “I don’t have that much ability, it was your mother who helped me.” Elaine smiled and pointed to the family card book on the dressing table behind her. The wedding is over, all that's left is to take care of the marriage certificate, Jenny can only be saved if her mother sees the marriage certificate today. "You're crazy!" Dave's emotions rose, he slammed his arm and pushed Elaine. Elaine was too weak, she was thrown out just like that, her stomach slammed into the corner of the table, and the pain immediately came after that. "It hurts, my stomach hurts." Her stomach was tight, and the pain hit. Elainetan protected her stomach with her hands, and her small face looked pale. Her eyebrows were twisted, "Take me to the hospital, quickly take me to the hospital!" Dave's gaze deepened, he crouched down and squinted at Elaine. "Tell me, where is Jenny? Tell me and I'll take you to the hospital!" Very quickly, the bright red liquid dyed the white wedding dress, and Elaine's hand that was holding her stomach was instantly covered with the smell of blood. "I don't know, your mother didn't tell me." Elaine clenched her teeth. She was always calm, never panicked like this. The pain in her stomach made her very scared. "You still choose to be stubborn?" Dave's face was expressionless, his eyes as dark as the deep sea. They seemed to sway slightly, but only for a moment. Elaine looked into his eyes, her heart stunned and beating. She saw unrequited love in his eyes, just like eight years ago. She knew that it was useless to ask him for help, but she had to drag the skirt soaked in fresh blood and reach out to touch the cell phone on the dressing table. Dave stood up and suddenly, took the phone and pulled out the phone card in front of him. "What are you doing?" Elaine's voice carried a crying atmosphere, and the tears at the corner of her eyes could no longer be suppressed. A kind of helplessness like misery invaded her limbs, and the pain in her left chest was even more than the pain of contractions. Dave ignored him, but went straight to the bathroom. Then, Elaine heard the sound of a toilet flushing. "No--" Elaine stood in the same place, her head banging, she couldn't even believe her ears. He knew what Dave was doing, he must have flushed his phone card down the toilet! For Jenny, he had to force her to such a point, even if she died here, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. When Dave came out of the bathroom, he immediately pulled the telephone cord on the dresser and completely destroyed the phone line. Elaine was in pain almost fainting, her face pale. She raised her bloody fingers and clasped her big palms. "Don't... Don't do this. Please beg... save. Save my child..." Dave didn't speak, his eyes filled with decisiveness. Elaine gritted her teeth. “If my child dies, I will never donate my bone marrow!” “Good! Me too!” Dave’s eyes were cold, “I will not accept the bones you donated even if I die!” After that, he slammed Elaine's fingers one by one, took a tissue and wiped the fresh blood on her back. Elaine panicked. "Dave! You can't do this to me!" "The child is yours!"Dave walked out of the kitchen and grabbed his coat to head upstairs. He had taken only a few steps when Reece caught up to him, clutching the leg of Dave’s pants as he followed. “Dad, when will Mom come home? Do you know where she is? I haven’t seen her in two days.”Dave had no desire to answer. If he knew where Elaine was, he would have taken Reece to her long ago. Elaine was off somewhere partying, completely forgetting she even had a child. When she’d crashed into his car, she’d acted like such a noble, devoted mother. But now she was just abandoning Reece. She really was a master at pretending!“Papa, I want to see Mama. Can you take me to find her?” There was a hint of pleading in Reece’s voice.But Dave didn’t stop walking. “I don’t know. Don’t bother me!” He pulled his leg free from Reece’s grip and quickly entered his room, slamming the door shut firmly before the child could follow. Finally, he had some peace and quiet.Dave rarely came home this early. He lay down on his s
Dave lifted his lashes, his deep, unreadable eyes scanning Aunt Chen as he said, “Why? I pay you to work for me—are you refusing to make me dinner?”Aunt Chen sensed the coldness radiating from him and stammered, “No, no, it’s just that the little miss used up all the vegetables in the house tonight. If you’re willing to wait, I’ll go buy some right away!” She spoke nervously, knowing full well that Bay Toon was in the suburbs. Even a trip to the nearest supermarket would take over an hour.“Dad, even Mom said the food I made is delicious. Why won’t you eat it?”Dave was very tall, and the little boy, looking up, couldn’t see the man’s increasingly gloomy expression. Yet when Reece mentioned Elaine, a flash of anger sparked in Dave’s narrow, deep eyes. He didn’t answer the child, but instead fixed Aunt Chen with a look that made her feel she’d misunderstood something.Dave said coldly, “You want me to wait for you to buy vegetables now? Are you planning to serve me dinner or a midnigh
YeSe BarAfter the last ray of light faded, YeSe Bar remained unlit. Elaine finally sensed that something was wrong. YeSe was a bar—it was already night, yet there wasn’t even a sound coming from inside? If she hadn’t woken up that morning and seen that the bathroom was still decorated with YeSe’s branding, she would have thought that Cindy had taken her somewhere else while she was unconscious.Elaine had been locked inside YeSe for a day and a night. No matter how strong she was, how successful she was in business, or how much praise she had received, Elaine was still a woman. Her psychological defenses had crumbled under the weight of the pitch darkness and the hunger she felt.Would you like me to adjust the tone of the translation to be more formal or more literary, depending on your needs?She tried to stand up from the floor again, slamming her body against the toilet door with all her might. “Open the door! Let me out! I need to… pick up my daughter from school!” Elaine’s eye
The blue veins on Dave’s forehead bulged twice. He then got out of the car, walked around to the driver’s side, and said in an angry tone, “Get in the car!” Reece wiped the tears from his face and quickly climbed into the vehicle. Once Dave saw that Reece was seated properly, he slammed the car door shut, walked back around to the driver’s seat, and got in. He had just started the engine when Reece asked in a small voice, “Daddy, where are we going? Aren’t we supposed to wait for Mommy?”Dave frowned. Wait for Elaine? She had been having such a good time that she’d forgotten herself, and there had been no word from her at all until now. Leaving Reece here waiting for Elaine—who knew how long they’d have to wait for her? Besides, was it even right for Reece to be waiting for her here? Dave said nothing, driving in silence all the way to Bay Toon.He got out of the car alone, his long legs striding toward the villa. By the time Reece stepped out, Dave was already out of sight. Having be
Through the car’s thick glass, Dave could still hear Reece’s voice.“Papa, will you come see me again?”Reece was so innocent, standing there with a pale face, the wound on her head looking worse than before. Perhaps because she’d kept touching it in the car earlier, it had grown more severe. The sight of her made Dave’s pupils contract in surprise. But he didn’t say a word, immediately stepping on the gas pedal.“Dad?”Reece’s figure seemed to shrink as the car pulled away. Suddenly, Dave thought that Elaine’s apartment had no fence and was located right on the edge of the highway. A vivid image flashed through his mind—Reece running toward his car and getting hit by a vehicle.He licked the corner of his lips and said to William, “You’re close with Olivia Lu, right?”This made William think Dave was about to scold him again about the stolen underwear incident. “Why?”“Call her and tell her Elaine’s daughter is outside her apartment!”William laughed at this. “Dave, you told me not t
Now this childish question—why did it feel, upon hearing it, as if he was being accused of some heinous crime! Dave freed one hand, loosening the tie around his shirt collar, then snapped his eagle-like gaze toward William. His voice was like an ancient, blackened weapon—cold and hard. “Are you sure you want me to answer?”Reece heard this and tugged at William’s sleeve, asking in a small voice, “Uncle, am I really an illegitimate child? Can you tell me what that means?”The little girl’s eyes grew redder, glistening with mist, but she still refused to let the tears fall. “I looked it up in the dictionary. It says an illegitimate child means… means Reece isn’t his father and mother’s child.” Her voice began to choke, weak yet stubborn. “But I asked Mom once, and she said I’m not an illegitimate child!”Reece’s words were simply a child speaking the truth, but they made William’s heart ache a little. No matter how uneasy he felt, she wasn’t his child, so he shouldn’t be the one hurt—y
