She went to a nearby city alone for the abortion. The Smith family had a wide network of contacts. Any hospital in their city that had such an abortion operation would have heard of the their ears, so she had to go out.
When she was lying on the bed after the anesthesia, she saw the ginkgo tree outside the window. The wind was very strong that day, and the ginkgo leaves fell down as the wind whistled past. She remembered that when she held the diagnosis that day, she didn’t know what to do.
After thinking for a long time without thinking, she ordered the only normal meal after the divorce. At that time, she thought that it would be bad if the child was born malnourished.
She didn’t dare to tell any of her close friends about the abortion. She came out of the bed with her belly covered, and a tall figure leaned against the wall with her waist bent over.
Jone knew that the time and place of her operation were also normal. Obviously, she was the one who performed the operation, but he seemed to be in great pain, with one hand against the corner of his forehead with his fist and his eyes closed.
Janet was shaking all over after the operation, so she was shaking everything she saw. When Jone came to help her tremblingly, she was pushed away by her palm.
She didn’t use much strength, and she had no strength, but Jone staggered and leaned against the wall to steady himself. He said sorry to her with a pale face.
She was numb from the pain, and passed him by without even looking at him.
Jone finally got what he wanted, a year later.
At that time, she was on vacation in Australia, and the people around her protected Janet very well. She was browsing tiktok and saw a photo shared by their mutual friend on moments. It was an invitation card with a bouquet of flowers and a white tablecloth in the background. It was probably a wedding scene. The photo was out of focus, and she could see two handwritten names in the header: Jone Smith and Abby Williams.
She was stunned for a moment, and when she refreshed the page again, she saw a familiar friend comment under the comments: ‘Why did you post on Moments?’
‘Probably because they were afraid that she would see it, the Moments was deleted quickly – I don’t know if they blocked her from posting again.
Someone called her at night. She was lying on the balcony, with the blue sky hanging low. Her friend hesitated for a long time, and finally even Janet couldn’t stand it anymore, so she asked directly: ‘Did Jone and his first love get married?’ Her tone was too calm, without indignation or sadness, so her friend breathed a sigh of relief, probably because she felt that Jone divorced her for a commoner first love, which hurt her face very much. What kind of feelings can there be between two people who got married because of their matching backgrounds? So after being shocked, her friend started gossiping with her with great interest, saying in a disdainful tone: ‘She is just a commoner girl. Smith family is the richest family in our country, is it not an honor for Smith family to hold the wedding party. So, they invited no more than 100 guests I think.’
her friend stood up for Janet, so her tone was obviously gloating: ‘Mrs Smith said to Abby in front of all guests, a woman of her background was allowed to enter the Smith family quietly without closing the door, is the best she can endure, so please behave.’
Her friend thought Janet would be happy to hear that, but actually Janet remained silent, and finally hung up the phone with a dull look.
Finally, she fell asleep on the recliner, and seemed to have had a dream in a daze.
In the dream, it was vaguely when she just married Jone, and they went to Delphi for their honeymoon. Delphi was her choice, and it was not the best choice for a honeymoon, but she liked it very much, because in Greek legend, one day, Zeus wanted to figure out where the center of the world was, so he released a dove in opposite directions. The two doves finally met in Delphi, and both landed on an egg-shaped boulder, so Zeus determined that Delphi was the center of the world.
A very romantic city.
But a honeymoon for two people without a foundation of love is really not romantic. From the time they set out until they put down their luggage at the hotel, Jone never stopped handling his work.
When she and Jone first came into contact with marriage, it was just that the elders of Smith and Brown family felt that it was appropriate, and neither party mentioned feelings. Janet was good at hiding her feelings, but no matter how decent and generous she was, she was just a 23-year-old girl who had just got married. When Jone handled wwork without raising his head, she said angrily: ‘You are busy, I will go out for a walk by myself.’
‘She got lost during this walk. She lost her direction at the foot of the mountain in the small town of Kalambaka. The ruins here are ancient and complete, standing solemnly. It is a majestic scenery during the day. At night, the tall and simple stone sculptures reflect elongated reflections in the light of the setting sun. The empty place seems to be empty. Janet felt scared at that time.
She almost cried when she called Jone, Jone’s voice had a strange calming power through the receiver of the phone. He asked calmly: ‘Where are you? Are there any landmark buildings nearby?’ Finally, he said: ‘Stand still, I’ll be there soon.’ He paused and added, ‘Don’t be afraid.’ He came very quickly. His tall figure shuttled through the tall and simple stone sculptures against the light, looking around constantly, with an obvious anxious look on his face. Janet didn’t know what she was thinking at that moment. There was a bang in her head. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and waved to Jone, shouting loudly: ‘Jone——’ Jone looked up at her when he heard the voice, and his relaxed look after a long breath was inexplicably touching, as if she knew he was worried about her. Janet sighed quietly in her heart at that moment, and suddenly thought inappropriately that this was really a romantic city. She and Jone, they are like pigeons from two ends of the world, flying around different trajectories, but it doesn’t matter, no matter what, they will meet in Delphi in the end, starting from here.
Is it possible that this will be the beginning of a beautiful story?
