"But even if our baby is gone, we still have to cheer up and live our lives well, right?"
I closed my eyes, feeling exhausted for a moment. Suppressing my emotions, my gaze fell on her swollen lips and I questioned.
"What's wrong with your lips?"

"Look, don't you still care about me? Honey, I happen to have something else to discuss with you."
The gentleness I hadn't seen in a while now appeared quite disgusting in my eyes. Suppressing my words, I slightly replied.
"What's up?"
She looked at me timidly, her expression tender and affectionate.
"Isn't it Kilian's art exhibition coming up? The venue almost started funding. Do you think you could help him with the funding?"
"The two of us grew up together and I know his artistic talent. I guarantee you'll make a killing and... "
