The sharp autumn wind, chilled with cold, slipped through the cracked window of the old apartment, brushing against my bare arm and raising a fine pattern of goosebumps.I crouched in the corner of the living room, my fingertips pressed against the safe's cold metal door, the mottled rust beneath my skin sending a sharp sting through me.
The sound of the teeth clicking into the lock was strikingly clear in the silent room.
I took a deep breath and turned the key forcefully; after a soft 'click,' the cabinet door slowly opened, the grating scrape of metal like a dull blade slowly cutting through my taut nerves.
The cabinet was small, piled with a few old photo albums and a stack of documents.
My eyes swept over those familiar items, finally settling on the bottom layer — two neatly folded sheets of paper, their exposed corners faintly yellowed, as if touched countless times.
The moment my fingertips brushed the paper, my heart skipped a beat, and even my breath stilled for half a second.
I carefully drew the paper out, unfolding it with movements as slow as if I were defusing a ticking bomb.
The first page was a prenatal examination report; on its pale pink cover, the hospital's logo was embossed, and the date clearly marked three months prior.
My eyes slid down to the expectant mother's name—'Melody Xavier'—the two characters glaring back in black Song script like slender needles, piercing sharply into my vision.
The paper trembled lightly in my hand. I gripped the edge of the report so tightly that my fingertips whitened, barely managing to steady my emotions as I reached for the second sheet.
It was a kindergarten enrollment notice, the sky-blue paper adorned with cartoon illustrations. The recipient's name read "Alex Lewis," and in the guardian's section, the two characters "Ryan Lewis" struck like a thunderclap, shattering my mind.
Ryan Lewis—the man who once whispered in my ear that he would protect me forever; The man who, as I lay on the operating table losing our child, held my hand, weeping and promising to make it up to me for the rest of his life; That man who should be at the Company right now, yet somewhere in a hidden corner, he was with another woman and a child.
