Chapter 154 Born Beautiful

{Chapter BGM:Take My Hand—Omar Akram}

Marlena was still whispering.

"I have been thinking, was it a mistake in itself for me to come into this world?

I grew up in a rented house, and I didn’t have any dolls of my own—the dolls in the corner building were all shared, and they were usually dirty and worn out by the time I got them—I didn’t compete with others for dolls.

of strength.

I've never felt anything good...if booze, cigarettes, and sin were good things, I might have felt them.

Is my life a sin? Because everything I do is sin!

If my arrival...my life is a mistake, then does the world mean anything to me?"

Chen Yan felt something fall on him. The thing was very light. After falling, it spread out on his "surface" and brought a touch of warmth to him.

Those are Marina's tears.

There was extreme pain and fear in her voice, but even so, when the words came out of her mouth, they became the unique tenderness of a mother.

"Jack, since everyone is going to die eventually, what's the point of living?"

"I'm scared, Jack."

"Will my children also have to endure the suffering I have experienced?"

"That scares me, Jack. I'm not as open-minded as you are..."

"I'm afraid that my child will live the same life as me, regardless of his gender. I'm afraid that he will end up in a corner building in downtown, I'm afraid that he will work hard in a sweatshop in an industrial area, I'm afraid that he will become a longshoreman,

Got drunk on the dockside one night and died in a canal full of mud and shit."

"If his life is going to be like this - it will most likely be like this, then why did I bring him into this world?"

"I didn't bring him into this world to hurt him!"

Malina's eyes were wild:

"The fact that I brought him into this world now is already causing him harm - just like when my parents brought me into this world!"

Jack Baldo saw that Marlena was getting more and more excited, but he didn't know how to comfort her. He was stuck at the door like a piece of wood, letting his heart be anxious and doing nothing.

No one knows why she thinks of these things. Why would a corner girl who was born in a corner building on a dirty street, praying for a life amidst sin and suffering, and has no worldview of her own, think about the meaning of life?

Is it because of the child in her belly?

Chen Yan raised his head and saw Marina's crying face.

He felt sad for no reason. This feeling was so wonderful that words could not express it.

'Malena...'

He wanted to comfort her, but now he was only the child in her belly and could not open his mouth to make a sound.

Then Chen Yan had the desire to speak out.

He was eager to comfort this woman. Even though he didn't know where his eagerness came from, that strong desire still made one thought appear in his heart over and over again:

It would be nice if I could comfort her.

When this desire became extremely strong, the girl in the corner suddenly looked at him.

An incredible power that had never existed in this world appeared in the hut.

The next moment, Chen Yan's thoughts appeared in Marina's ears.

'Coming to this world is meaningful in itself.'

Marina suddenly raised her head, extremely alert.

"who is it!?"

Chen Yan was stunned.

Jack Baldo outside the door said in a deep voice: "Marlena, what's wrong? Is there an intruder in the house? I'll go in right away!"

Marlena almost escaped from the state of sadness in an instant, and the outburst of vigilance made her mentally tense beyond measure.

"fine……"

She whispered, scanning the surroundings with her wolf-like eyes, while subconsciously protecting her belly with her hands.

But she didn't see anyone else in the house.

Jack Baldo's steady voice came into the house through the wooden door: "Don't worry, Marina, if an invisible person enters your house, it must be an extraordinary person... extraordinary people cannot attack mortals!"

Marina glanced at the red candle in the corner.

She spent 2 pennies on the candle and bought it from an elderly goddess in Building 247. Its function is to sense danger - once someone sneaks into the room or approaches the door with malicious intentions, the red candle will

Shaking will occur, and in severe cases it may even burn out.

But now, the flame of the red candle is steady, without even a slight sway.

Marina felt a little relieved.

Her originally fragile spirit could no longer sustain her tight will, and her vigilance just now consumed all her remaining willpower.

After relaxing her tense heartstrings, she only felt dizzy, confused, and mentally weak.

She talked to herself, falling into thinking about that painful question again.

"Why did I bring my child into this world?"

She was so exhausted that she leaned against the bed and passed out, half asleep and half awake.

But even in a coma, she still repeated those words.

At the same time, with the blessing of that power that did not exist in this world, Chen Yan's thoughts continued to appear in her ears.

'Marina, you have experienced half a lifetime of suffering, so you must understand that living is not an easy task.'

Marina heard his voice, but she was too weak and her spirit could no longer bear the burden of supporting her body.

"why……"

She subconsciously murmured in a low voice.

Even though she almost fell into a coma, she still instinctively wanted to know the answers to those questions.

'We are born with cries, we die with cries, we bear the pain of life - life is inherently difficult.

But there are always some beautiful things, such as life - life itself is beautiful - from the moment you come into the world, life is all the beauty in the world.

With life, we can pursue other beauties in the world, right?

And other beauties in the world, including the beauty of life itself, are our motivation to overcome difficulties.

Marina, I'm not just talking about your child, I'm also talking about you -

Your life is also beautiful.

Just like the child in your belly! From the moment you are born into this world as a living being, [you] are beauty itself!’

Chen Yan wanted to say something, but felt something in the baby's body was agitated.

Another consciousness existing in the baby's body awakens.

Chen Yan's eyesight went dark and he was "squeezed" out.

After a while.

Marina woke up from a coma, but her previous words echoed in her ears,

She was fascinated by the memory, and her thoughts were all over the place for a while, but the pain in her heart had disappeared at a certain point in time that she couldn't sense.

Jack Baldo's worried voice came from outside the door: "Marlena..."

Marina came back to her senses in a daze, her eyes gradually clearing up, and her withered pupils seemed to be illuminated by the red light of the candle.

"He didn't choose to be in this world."

Marlena gently stroked her belly, her movements gentle, and her tone became firmer.

"I chose to let him come into this world, so I must be responsible for him."

Her will has never been stronger.

"I have to work harder to live, for my children, for... myself."
