That kind of disease has an incubation period. It could be as short as a few months or as long as a couple of years before the person started exhibiting symptoms. Post-exposure preventive medicine could be taken aurally during the incubation period. However, the disease would be incurable once the person started showing symptoms.That widow was quick to show symptoms. The doctor did a checkup for her and found out that she was just infected in the last few months. The doctor asked the widow, and she confessed truthfully. Those people who wanted to chop off her hand that day were all from the underground, where criminal organizations and activities existed. She did not know which of them had that kind of disease and had infected her. Without a doubt, she had also infected Hector.She died soon after. Hector, on the other hand, did not develop any symptoms. However, he went to the hospital to check and found that he had already been infected. The virus was already in his blood and he h
In the middle of the night, Hector pinched Hana so aggressively that she was bruised everywhere. That night, she cried through the night while hugging her baby daughter. That year, Hana was not even twenty years old yet. It was as if Hana, who was still young, was living in a burning hell. She had to get up early and come home late every day to have her street stall manned. She even had to hide from Hector when she came home at night.There were times when she thought of just leaving the place with her child on her back and never returning in this life. However, Hector was very nice to their daughter. He treated their daughter as if she was his life. He even could go without eating and drinking as he was very focused on looking at his daughter while rocking her cradle. The daughter was also very close to Hector. This was a kind of consolation to Hana because at least her daughter had someone to take care of her. Seeing that Hector was like that, Hana simply let Hector take full respon
He was so gentle to Hana. Because of that, Hana finally hid in that young man’s arm one day and cried with great grievances. She told the young man that she had great academic performance when she was in school, but she was driven out by her stepmother to make money before she graduated middle school. Her stepmother forced her to work as a bargirl and seduce old men. She was only sixteen then. She did not want to get herself trapped in a nightclub, so she ran away after she offended someone. She was saved by Hector as she was escaping. Since then, she jumped into another burning hell.She had her own children. Her husband was a useless person and was even carrying a disease. Ever since she had given birth to her daughter, she had been living her life without consummation, and it had been almost ten years.She cried inconsolably in the young man’s arms. After she was done crying, she looked at the manly young man with a pair of watery eyes. The young man did not say much, and he just
Hana looked at Hector in horror. “Hector, you…want me to go abroad to make money and not return for a few years?”“Nonsense!” Hector sneered. “If you were to come back once a month, can you earn much money?”“But…what about my daughter? Isn’t your daughter my daughter as well? Hana, you're a woman who doesn’t even take care of your own daughter, but you sleep with a young man instead! Are you worthy to be a mother? Are you worthy? Do you know where your daughter’s kindergarten is? Have you been to any of the parent-teacher conferences? Do you know what grade your daughter is in this year?” Hector had an extremely furious expression.Hana became furious. “Hector Caven! Is what you said reasonable? I have been together with you since before I turned eighteen, and have been wholeheartedly living with you since! You did not even give me a wedding! But, what about you? I was pregnant! You were having an affair with a widow! You and the widow were to ones who lost all of our money! It was
Hana looked at Hector with a pleading gaze. “I’m begging you, don’t treat our daughter like this! She is your most beloved, isn’t she?”Hector sneered. “Of course! She is my life! She is my daughter. Her last name is Caven! She is not yours! You b*tch! Listen up! Go work as a laborer abroad. Come back five years later after having earned enough money for both me and my daughter to spend. I have already asked on your behalf. You can earn two hundred thousand dollars in a year! Five years later, come back when you’ve made a million dollars! Otherwise…”“Alright…alright. Fine, I will go work abroad. It’s just five years, right? If something bad were to happen to my daughter five years later when I come back, I will kill you by biting you to death if I had to, Hector!”Since then, Hana was sent abroad to work as a laborer. The contract that she signed was not for five years, but it was for eight years. This was because she wanted to keep a portion of the money to herself so that she cou
Hana still did not let go of her daughter. She grasped her daughter’s arm with both her hands and looked at Tessa with a hopeful expression. Tessa’s features looked very similar to Hana’s when she was seventeen years old, but Tessa was more beautiful than Hana. Tessa did not have a care in the world and was dressed in a stylish outfit. She looked just like a little princess.Hana had an indescribable agitation within her. She had a catch in her throat and spoke incoherently. “Tessa, I am your mother. Don’t you recognize me, Tessa? I’m the one who bought all these beautiful clothes that you’re wearing for you with the money I’ve earned. Tessa…”Tessa suddenly aggressively pushed Hana away. “You d*mned woman! Why don’t you go to hell! How do you have the cheeks? Are you so thick-skinned? You were the one who bought the clothes I’m wearing for me? You’re the kind of woman who only cared about your own enjoyment! You only cared about fooling around with men! You’re a woman who doesn’t ev
Each and every sentence was stabbing Hana in the heart.That afternoon, Hana went back alone to the village where she and Hector had lived. In the end, the villagers told Hana that Hector had not been living there for a very long time. He had bought a house at the intersection between the city and the suburbs of South City. He even opened a store there and had been doing quite well in the past few years. Hana then hid in the poor house that they had originally been living in, and cried inconsolably while hugging some of the small clothes that her daughter had left behind.What had she done wrong for the Heavens to punish her like that? She had lost her mother growing up. She then lived an incomparably poor and miserable life with her father. After she grew up a little, her father married her stepmother, and she began abusing her. She was finally saved by someone with great difficulty, but that person caused her a lifetime of misery instead. At that point, her reputation had been tatt
Evenn if her daughter did not acknowledge Hana as her mother, her daughter was still Hana’s weak spot. She could not stand listening to the possibility of her daughter’s life being ruined and having to follow in her mother’s footsteps in the future. As long as her daughter could have a bright future, live a happy life, get married and have children, as well as a husband who loved her, Hana felt that it would be worth it even if she died. It would also be worth it even if her daughter did not acknowledge her as her mother for life. Perhaps such was Hana’s fate in this life, and she was ready to resign to her fate. However, the catch was if her daughter could be happy and obediently go to college. After that, get a job and find a good man to marry.Hector looked at Hana, whose stance would not be any softer, and said, “From now on, you have to save five thousand dollars a month for my daughter as her wedding gift in the future!”“Alright,” Hana promised without even thinking about it.
