Chapter 140 From Deep Affection to Life-or-Death Struggle (3400 words)
"I'm back!"
At 10 p.m., Makoto Sato pushed open the door to the rented room.
Several seconds passed, but there was still no response.
This made Sato Makoto, who was already used to that voice, feel a little uncomfortable, as if something was missing.
"Why aren't the lights on? Are they asleep?"
Looking at the pitch-black rented room in front of him, Makoto Sato couldn't help but frown.
In my memory, no matter how late it was, he would wait for me to come home before going to sleep, ostensibly to tell the baby in my belly a bedtime story and to help the baby get used to his father's voice.
Actually, a four-month-old baby's organs are not fully developed yet, so how could they possibly hear ghostly sounds?
But in order to have a place to stay temporarily and someone to take care of their daily needs, they had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
However, this woman seems to have become lazy, even though she's working so hard all by herself outside.
After fumbling around for a while, Makoto Sato finally found the switch.
As the lights in the entryway came on, the visibility inside the house gradually increased.
Just as he was passing the corner, he seemed to suddenly see something and was startled.
Looking into the distance, a figure could be vaguely seen in the kitchen; in the moonlight, it appeared to be the outline of a woman.
"Aili? What are you doing standing there all alone in the dark?"
The lighting in the entryway was limited, and it was mostly blocked by the corner, so Sato Makoto couldn't see the specific things inside the kitchen clearly. However, the way the other party made his entrance made him feel a little uneasy.
As he drew closer, the dripping sound from the pool became clearer.
Originally, he was a grown man and didn't believe in anything supernatural.
But the combination of these unusual phenomena made him increasingly anxious, and as he approached the dining table, he inexplicably stopped in his tracks.
However, it seems like I stepped on something sticky.
Is it paper?
Makoto Sato crouched down and touched it. It felt much harder than ordinary paper. Because of his work as a model, he immediately recognized what it was.
photo!
And it seems there's more than one; they're scattered all over the ground.
"Did you take a bath there today?"
At this moment, Airi Yamagami, who had been silent in the kitchen, finally spoke.
However, this did not relieve Sato Makoto; instead, it made him even more nervous: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Perhaps feeling that his answer was not clear enough, he added, "Didn't I tell you about this already? The weather is so hot now, there are a lot of people at work, and I have to put on makeup, so I don't want to bring dirt home."
"Not taking it home? Then did you leave something with someone else?"
Airi Yamagami's voice was somewhat low, and although it wasn't loud, it brought a strange pressure to Makoto Sato.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting strange as soon as I get back? You can just say what you want to say. I'm already tired enough outside, and I don't want to come home and argue with you."
To become a qualified "Sea King," Makoto Ito was naturally not stupid. He had already realized the problem from the other party's sarcastic remarks, and the other party always used polite language when speaking to him.
But not now!
However, experience told him that in such situations, he should be assertive and confident, as this might allow him to turn the tables and take the initiative.
"Even at this point, you still won't tell me the truth, is that it?"
Airi Yamagami's voice gradually trembled with a sob: "Not only are you with that old woman, but you also want me to die with that person, to be left to fend for myself, right?"
"You promised me you wouldn't see any other women. Even if you're really tired of me, I'm carrying your child! How could you say such cruel things?!"
Airi Yamagami's emotions gradually became agitated, to the point that they sounded so jarring to Makoto Ito.
There is a sense of shame that comes from having one's disguise torn away, yet being unable to refute it.
Even so, I still hoped that you would take the initiative to explain to me, or even just say sorry, but you didn't, not even a single word.
As she said this, Airi Yamagami suddenly moved.
The heavy footsteps sounded like hammer blows striking Sato Makoto's heart, causing him to swallow hard.
"Ellie, where did you hear all this from? How can you doubt me based on just a few words from an outsider? Am I less important than an outsider?"
Even now, Makoto Sato still clings to a sliver of hope, trying to lull the other side into a false sense of security.
However, he was very vigilant and was already retreating, seemingly wanting to rush to the location shrouded in light as soon as possible.
"Really? Then come here, come to my side, and explain it to me in person, just like you always do, and hug me."
Airi Yamagami seemed to have calmed down a lot, but this made Makoto Sato feel that he should leave the house even more.
This woman seems to have gone mad!
Tap tap tap tap!
Just as the thought crossed Sato Makoto's mind, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came, and the figure that was originally a certain distance away became clear with the help of a strong wind.
As a blinding glint flashed across his eyes, Makoto Sato's heart leaped into his throat.
It's a knife!
It's a fruit knife!
Without a second thought, Sato Makoto turned and ran.
But to his surprise, he slipped and fell as soon as he turned around.
Damn it, it's the photos on the ground!
Seeing the fruit knife about to strike, Sato Makoto was terrified and said in a flattering tone, "Airi, don't do anything rash. Listen to me, I'm just trying to get resources from that manager. As soon as I become famous, I'll dump him immediately. It's all just a temporary measure."
"I am the father of the child in your belly!"
The fruit knife paused just before it was about to stab, but not as a temporary measure, but because of the words "the child's father."
Upon hearing these words, Airi Yamagami visibly wavered, her emotions crumbled, and she began to wail.
"Ah—Waaaaah..."
She didn't understand why, after doing so much for Chengjun, she received such a reward.
Everything was on the right track, so why did things go wrong at this crucial juncture?
Is this retribution?
Seeing this, Sato Makoto, who was already in a panic, immediately seized the opportunity and pounced on the latter, pinning him to the ground.
"ah!"
Bang!
During the struggle, the two appeared to bump into a table, and a tape recorder fell out.
"Let go of me!"
The moment the two fell to the ground, Makoto Sato grabbed both of the other man's wrists and desperately tried to shake the knife off his left hand.
"My... my stomach, my stomach."
Tragically, instead of immediately seizing the knife, Airi Yamagami released the fruit knife and hugged her slightly protruding belly.
The moment he successfully shook off the knife, Makoto Sato rolled off the ground and crawled like a dog to pick it up, then began to pant heavily.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Having lived this long, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Although he hadn't expended much energy, he was so frightened that his whole body felt weak, and his body was soaked in sweat as if he had just been immersed in water.
Meanwhile, Airi Yamagami was still worried about her stomach, checking herself from all sides, completely oblivious to the fact that the situation had already changed.
Buzz buzz buzz~
Just then, Sato Makoto felt a sudden tremor in his pocket. While keeping a wary eye on Yamagami Airi, he switched the fruit knife to his other hand and started looking for his phone.
"What!"
The call connected, but when he heard the unusually strong, tearful voice on the other end, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
When he finally came to his senses, his eyes were completely filled with a fierce aura.
Even the strength that had been lost due to fear was returning steadily.
"You bastard, you actually reported me!"
Seiichi Sato stood up and hysterically kicked the other man.
"ah!"
"You've completely ruined me, you know that?"
"You shameless woman!"
Behind every angry shout, there is a kick.
Even though Airi begged for mercy again and again, she still couldn't win the other party's sympathy.
"Ah! Don't kick him, don't kick him anymore, he's your child too, don't!"
Airi curled up in a ball, unable to offer any resistance other than instinctively trying to protect her belly.
However, Sato Makoto, whose future was already ruined, couldn't listen to any of this and roared wildly, "Who knew you, you slut, had slept with several wild men before? Do you really think I'd be stupid enough to wear the cuckold's hat you gave me?"
"You're lying, you're lying! You know perfectly well that you were the one I gave birth to, you're lying!"
Airi Yamagami was utterly desperate. At this moment, even the last vestiges of her dignity had been trampled on by the other party.
Run! You have to run!
If this continues, I and my child will die at the hands of this beast.
Despite her thoughts, the punches and kicks from the other party left Yamagami Airi with no strength left to even get up.
All she could ask for was for someone to come and save her.
But who will come to save her?
In a daze, a face suddenly flashed through her mind—a face hidden by long bangs, a face that had been cautious towards her from beginning to end.
But when she realized this, she sadly discovered that she had already pushed this person away with her own hands.
Perhaps this really is retribution!
Gradually, Airi Yamagami's vision began to blur. As a pool of blood flowed from the ground, Makoto Sato, who had once again raised his foot, finally snapped out of his madness.
When he noticed the woman's condition at his feet, his heart started pounding and his mind went blank.
After waiting for several seconds, he didn't make any calls for help. Instead, he ran out of the rented room with a look of panic on his face.
They didn't even have time to pack their luggage.
The entire room fell into a deathly silence once again, with only the tape recorder, whose switch had been turned on at some point, slowly playing a cold, piercing sound.
"Once that child is about to be born, I will leave her. Her parents are very stubborn and conservative. They know that this kind of thing will definitely kill her, so she doesn't dare to make a fuss. She only dares to go to that guy surnamed Lai. Let these two poor bastards continue to entangle themselves and fend for themselves."
"So you don't care about that child?"
"Who knows who got pregnant with that woman's child while she was fooling around? Why should I wear her hat?"
"Heh, you're really vicious. Will you treat me like this in the future?"
"Of course not. Everything I have now is thanks to you. Sakai-senpai has been so good to me, how could I possibly be ungrateful?"
"Hmph~ You know that much!"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about such unpleasant things anymore. Come on, let me show you my sincerity."
"Ah—, please give me beans, one for one, one for one..."
...
By the time Junichi received the message, it was already 7 a.m. the next day.
A milkman called the police after noticing the bloodstains at the door.
The reason why she contacted Sei Junichi immediately was because Yamagami Airi had put his name as the first contact in her contacts.
—Seto Inu!
hehe!
These two words were so jarring that Junichiro Sei couldn't feel any sympathy for Airi Yamagami, who had been diagnosed with a miscarriage in the hospital room...
I recommend a book by a friend, titled "I'm Really Not a Daoist Master!"
