I saw Lucas again half a month later.
I had just had an abortion.
He was there with Chloe for her depression follow–up.
It had been a while since I’d seen him. Lucas looked even more haggard.
“Olivia, are you feeling unwell? Why are you at the hospital?” The moment Lucas saw me, his eyes lit up. He let go of Chloe’s hand and grabbed
mine.
“It’s nothing.” I pushed his hand away, but the medical report in my hand fell to the ground.
He picked it up, puzzled. The report clearly stated “Induced abortion, 8 weeks gestation.”
Lucas’s expression froze. The veins on his forehead became visible, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
“You were two months pregnant?”
“And you aborted it?”
“It was our child, wasn’t it? How could you do this?”
“Say something! You’re lying to me, right?”

Lucas gripped my shoulders tightly, shaking me.
I looked into his red eyes, filled with so much regret and pain.
I nodded slightly, softly uttering a “Mm.”
“How could you do this!”
“I wanted to have a child with you so badly. How could you abort it?”
“Why didn’t you discuss it with me? Why didn’t you keep the baby?”
“Olivia, our child is still there, isn’t it?”
“You’re lying to me, right?”
“You love me so much, you wanted to have a child with me so badly.”
Lucas looked at me, his eyes full of incomprehension, trying to get answers from me.
“Lucas, we’re divorced. I didn’t want my child to be born without a father.”
“Besides, before you lost your memory, you told me to get rid of the baby to avoid upsetting Chloe.”
I laughed coldly, but my heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles.
Lucas leaned against the wall, his eyes red.
Seeing this, Chloe quickly ran over to support Lucas, her face full of concern. “Lucas… don’t be sad. We can always have another child if you want one. If you want a baby, I can give you one..
Lucas pushed Chloe away and rushed back to me, shouting, “Impossible! How could I ever ask you to have an abortion! You’re lying to me, aren’t you? How can you be so heartless!”
I laughed coldly. “I’m heartless? You better get your memory back soon. That will be the evidence of how you hurt me!”
Lucas stood there, dumbfounded, not
saying a word.
Chloe was crying along with him.

i took all my medical reports and walked weakly towards the hospital exit.
“Olivia… our child, was it a boy or a girl?”
I stopped in my tracks, tears streaming down my face.
“It was a girl.”
The next day when I returned home, I found Lucas waiting at my door.
Seeing me approach, he walked towards me urgently.
“Olivia, why did you move without telling me?”
“Do you know how long I’ve been looking for you?”
“I’ve been so worried about you. I haven’t been able to contact you for 24 hours.”
“Can’t you be more considerate? Don’t make me worry like this!”
“I only love you. It’s not what you think between Chloe and me.”

“Why don’t you believe me?”
“I’ve always seen her as just a friend.”
He was very emotional.
I spoke up at the right moment: “I don’t love you anymore, Lucas.”
He looked at me, his eyes filled with expected sadness.
“Can we start over? We can have another child.”
Helplessness, extreme helplessness.
“Lucas, the woman you truly love isn’t me, it’s Chloe. You can’t let go of me now because you’ve lost your memory. Your memories are stuck at the point when you loved me most. Once your memory returns, you won’t be like this anymore.”
He seemed to have received a huge shock, his pain. so extreme that he became expressionless.
After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice,
“Olivia, I do love you! Why have we ended up like this?”
Yes, indeed.
How did time change us into what we are now?
It’s as if on the road of time, we met at a fork, walked hand in hand for a while, and then went our separate ways.
This accident only made our paths cross briefly, but those superficial injuries can never be healed.
