"He left me because he found out about his poor health and he was afraid of burdening me.
"He has suffered a lot over the years, and now that he is at the end of his life, he just wants to spend the last moments with his loved one without any regrets.
“He has done so much for me, and I feel deeply indebted. I want to have a child for him, as a way to repay him for his love all these years.”
It was the most absurd thing I had heard.

Mia wiped away the tears from her eyes. She stubbornly looked at me without any guilt.
"I know you are angry about my abortion, but this is my own decision. Don't blame Mateo.
"In my opinion, exchanging two lives for the continuation of a bloodline is worth it!
"Don't even think about stopping me. If anyone stops me, I'll kill myself. Since you love me so much, you definitely don't want to see me in a difficult situation, right?"
I looked at her and suddenly felt she was like a stranger.
So many things happened today. My mind was chaotic. I took out my own diagnosis and handed it to her.
She took it with confusion.
