Time passed by minute by minute.
The air became oppressively strange.
It was so quiet all around, except for the audible sobbing under the table, which was so obvious!
Chandler stiffened his body, his mind almost blank.
There was only one voice constantly shouting in his heart, please don't let it be Tina...
But sometimes, the more afraid you are of something happening, the more likely it will happen.
When he bent down and slowly lifted the tablecloth that had fallen, he finally saw the figure hiding under the table.
He was instantly shocked!
That familiar figure caught his eye.
It was Tina!
But Tina at this moment had tears all over her face, and her expressions were so different from the ones he was familiar with!
Her eyes, blinking non-stop, were filled with tears, causing him heartache.
"Tina..." he called out in a hoarse voice, "please come out first."
She bit her lip hard, and after a long while, she slowly emerged from under the table.
"Why are you here?" he raised his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears on her face, but she suddenly took a step back, avoiding his hand.
His hand awkwardly stayed suspended in mid-air, with a trace of bitterness in his eyes.
Tina's body trembled, seemingly not expecting this kind of answer.
"As for the umbilical cord blood-saving lives, a person affected by this curse will have a connection with a certain opposite-sex individual. If they have a child with this person they have a connection with, the placenta and umbilical cord blood of the child can be used to create a medicine that can lift the curse," Chandler said.
Tina tightly pursed her lips, seemingly contemplating his words. After a long while, she asked, "So now, you are affected by this curse, and I am the opposite-sex individual you have a connection with?"
"Yes," he said.
"When did you know that I was the person you had a connection with?" she stared at him and asked.
His body stiffened even more, "...Before you were born."
"What?" Tina was taken aback, "Before I was born? Are you referring to when I was still a fetus?"
