It turned out everything was fake.

  I was taken away from there, and the prison guard sent me to the infirmary. Originally, I had been crying hysterically due to excessive fright, but under the doctor's comfort, I calmed down a lot. I told the doctor everything that happened in the cell. Although recalling what happened before still made me tremble all over, the doctor listened and then walked out to talk to the prison guard outside.

  I never thought that because of my inexperience, my later days would be like hell.

  When I was sent back to the cell, Hong Ning was gone, and so was that fat woman. The lower bunk of the fat woman had a weak figure with short hair on her pale face, looking very ill. When I came in before, I only took a glance at her, without even seeing her clearly.

  I'm afraid of everyone here, including her. I sit back on my own bed, timidly looking at her. Although I'm very tired, I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, I'll be molested again by someone.

  She looked at me for a moment, said nothing, and after a long while, got up from the bed, handed me a plastic cup, and softly asked: "Are you okay?"

  I saw her talking to me while seemingly carefully paying attention to the outside movement, as if afraid of something. I didn't dare take the cup in her hand, just nodded slightly, as a response.

  "How can you go and tell on them? Whatever they did, you shouldn't have done that!" she said.

  I stared at her in confusion, until I saw a glimmer of different emotions from others in her eyes, and then I tried to start talking to her: "I, I didn't tell on you." I hadn't told the prison guard about everything that had happened before, suddenly, I remembered that the doctor had asked me something after leaving, and what he said to the prison guard outside.

  I realize I've made a mistake!

  "Endure it! You must endure it! If you can get through the most difficult first month, everything will be fine! Remember, no matter what they do in the future, don't go out! This is the only way to survive." After that, she quickly retreated back and lay down on the bed, drinking the water she was about to hand over to me.

  The door opened and the fat woman and Hong Ning came back together. As they entered, they glared at me, I shuddered violently, lowered my head, and didn't dare to look at them again. After the prison guard warned them and left, Hong Ning stood in front of my bed, motionless, until the fat woman said: "Not now!"

  Hong Ning had just climbed onto the top bunk, but that movement was extremely large, causing the entire bed to shake.

  When the alarm sounded, the door was opened and the fat woman went out first, followed by Hong Ning, then the thin weak woman who wanted to give me water, and I was the last one to go out because I didn't know where we were going.

  I followed the crowd and walked into a large hall, where people were lining up in front of me. I leaned down to take a look and saw that they were queuing for breakfast. As I slowly moved forward, I also received a portion. However, when I took my tray, I found there was no place to sit.

  It was not easy to find a vacant seat, but before I could get there, someone took it. When I saw the empty seat, I quickened my pace, put down my tray and sat down. Unexpectedly, just as I was about to start eating, three people around me suddenly stood up, picked up their trays and left. Only when I looked up did I see a fat woman standing beside me.

  As she sat down, I nervously wanted to get up, but was pressed down by her on the shoulder.

  "You'd better sit still!"

  When she looked up at me with those bloodshot eyes, I didn't dare move again and just sat there waiting. She picked up the bun and started eating, one foot on the stool, mumbling: "Dare to report! If I don't give you a warning, how can I survive here in the future!"

  "A whole week without eating!" she shouted, and I, because of this sentence, painfully put the bun in my hand back on the plate, with the weak woman's voice in my ear, endure! Because I want to live!

  Until she slowly finished eating the food in her own bowl, reached out and took away the food in my bowl. The prison guard looked over but didn't do anything, maybe because I didn't make a sound. Watching her finish my breakfast, my stomach started to feel a little warm from hunger.

  After breakfast, it's time for work. Since my case is still ongoing, people will come over from time to time to ask some questions. I sit there and answer the police's questions, then say: "I want to appeal!"

  "What's the hurry? The first trial hasn't even started, what are you suing for?" the man replied coldly.

  But I had lost my last hope, until a familiar voice sounded beside me: "Tell him, you want to see Huo Xiaoqi!" I was stunned, staring blankly at the person beside me, he hadn't left, he was still there, and my long-frozen heart suddenly warmed up with his appearance, tears falling down.

  It wasn't until the police were about to leave that I came back to my senses when the chair made a noise. Holding his hand, I said: "I... I want to see my family, I want to see Huo Xiaoqi!"

  He hesitated for a moment before withdrawing his hand and nodding in agreement, saying that it would be arranged this afternoon, but only if Ho Xiaoqi was willing to come after being notified.

  I nodded, I believe he will come!

  At noon, the fat woman was still the same as in the morning, eating up all the things on my plate. When she left, she also reminded me to hand over what I should have handed over before dinner.

  In the afternoon, when it was time for the meeting, my name was called and I got a bit excited. However, when I saw Yun Li appearing outside the glass, I was stunned!

  "You really have skills, wanting to see Xiao Jin?"

  Yun Li was still dressed in red, her low-cut dress revealing a deep cleavage, and the arrogant expression on her face, along with her disdainful gaze, proclaimed that she was the winner.

  "What about Huo Xiao Jing? Where is he?" I asked anxiously. Unexpectedly, the only response was Yun Li's mocking laughter.

  "You won't see him! As long as I don't want him to come and see you, he won't come no matter what!"

  "Is it you! Are you the one who framed me!" I couldn't control my emotions anymore! My body stiffened, and I pounded on the glass in front of me.

  Yun Li sat in the chair, looking at me with a gaze that was like looking at a poor abandoned pet, making a "tsk" sound before saying: "Mo Ya, everything needs evidence!" Island Master's eyes turned cold.

  "You think you can take me on? You're still too green! And as for An Jia, don't even think about it. An Ting Ren had me pass on a message to you, your business has nothing to do with him!" She slapped the glass and stood up, tugged at the short skirt that barely covered her hips, and swayed away with a seductive gait, leaving just like that, right in front of my eyes.

  I fell to the ground, staring blankly at the red figure disappearing from my sight. This time, there were no tears falling from my eyes, but in my heart, I heard a dripping sound, and I knew that my heart had opened up a big wound, bleeding profusely.

  I shouted in indignation, tearing at my hair with my hands. Everything was fake! The kindness that Huo Xiaoju had shown me before was fake, An Tingming's promise to repay the favor I did for him by saving his grandson was fake, and even Wang Shu's benevolent face was fake!

  When I came to from my confused consciousness, I was still in the infirmary, with an IV drip on my wrist. I stared blankly at a patch of white on the ceiling, thinking that I would die here and never be able to leave this place again...

  "Mo Ya!" A voice suddenly called out my name beside my ear, but I didn't want to see him again. I really wished that on that day, I hadn't stupidly agreed to marry into the Huo family as promised to Father. I hoped none of this had ever happened.

  "Don't worry! I won't let anything happen to you, I'll think of a way to get you out." Huo Xiao Ran's voice was somewhat anxious.

  But I just hooked up the corner of my mouth, shook my head, and thought to myself, "Forget it, let me just die here. Anyway, I don't have anything worth holding onto, maybe leaving is my liberation."

  I'm worried! My hand suddenly touched my belly, and this unborn child, my heart that had stopped beating started to beat again. What should I do? Child, Mom might have to stay here for the rest of her life, what will you do?

  In the palm of my hand, I suddenly felt something like a caress. I stared in surprise, was it her? The girl who appeared in my dreams? My child?

  Warmth began to emanate from within my body, and I heard the beating of my originally frozen heart. A voice in my mind kept shouting, "Don't die! Don't die!"

  I sat up with a start and said to the doctor: "I'm fine now!"

  The doctor looked at me inexplicably and turned back to what he was doing, lightly saying: "You have some anemia, at least finish these transfusions!"

  I nodded, this might be my last quiet place, when I get out of here, I can probably guess what terrible things I will encounter, because I didn't see Huo Xiaoqi, I had no money to give to the fat woman, I glanced at Huo Xiaoran who was cold-faced beside me and bit my lip.

  I need his help, although I feel shameless, just a few days ago I was thinking of cutting off my connection with him, now I'm thinking of using him to keep myself safe.

  After some thought, I still made up my mind. When the doctor left the room, I looked up at him calmly and said: "Huo Xiao Ran, I'm pregnant with your child!"

  As I looked at his astonished eyes, I curled up the corner of my mouth and opened my mouth: "Very surprised, right? I'm also very surprised, but she's really in my belly, growing day by day. And as her father, I hope you can keep her safe for a lifetime!"

  "How is this possible?" He hadn't yet come back to himself, staring at me with a mouth that kept repeating.

  I reached out, grasped his hand and gently placed it on my belly. Lowering my head, I softly asked: "Can you feel her? Just now I felt her touch my hand!"
