From the moment she learned about the child's existence to the moment she knew she had lost it, it was only a matter of three short days.
Before she knew of the child's existence, she was still moving between those cheap motels, alone and helpless, and also in a very sorry state.
These past few months, even she didn't know how she had managed to get by.
When she found out about the child, because money was tight, she worried about the child's nutrition and dared not continue to subsist on instant noodles and fast food. After eating two relatively hearty meals, she once thought about renting an apartment. She didn't demand much—just enough to pay the rent and support herself until the birth of the child would be fine.
That day, she had all her future planned out. She would take good care of the pregnancy in the following months and then leave An City after giving birth, finding a place where nobody knew her, living slowly with her child, accompanying him as he grew up.
