I almost ruled the world

Feeling the struggle of the girl in her arms, Martha let her go slowly.

She looked at the girl in front of her, stroked her broken hair that fell on her forehead behind her ears with distress, and then sighed long.

"Clark told me everything, but I don't want to believe it. I want to hear what you say." Martha looked at her complicatedly, trying to see something on her face.

Sure enough, Brianna was taken aback, and looked away in embarrassment.

Although I don't know why, any thing I do with confidence, I feel like a child who has made a mistake in front of Martha.

Martha looked at her and hesitated for a while before slowly speaking, "Clark is in pain, I can see... He said that everything you did before was using him, is that so?"

Brianna raised her eyes, looked at Martha in front of her, and said truthfully, "He is right, I just use him to help me lift the seal so that I can continue to rule the world."

Martha shook her head, as if she couldn't believe everything, "But, Clark really fell in love with you, and it hurt him deeply."

She shrugged her heavy and stiff shoulders pretending to be relaxed, "Fortunately, he doesn't love me anymore."

Martha looked straight at her without speaking.

It's a bit embarrassing to be stared at like this all the time. To ease the embarrassment, Brianna continued, "He has ruled the world now, so the damage I caused him is nothing."

"I don't understand why he tortured me like this..."

"Brianna!" Martha frowned suddenly, calling her name loudly.

But realizing that her voice was too loud, she took a shaky breath and forced herself to calm down, "I know Clark, my son, Clark. He doesn't like ruling the world at all, and he doesn't like managing all the hustle and bustle. What international affairs, it is impossible to torture anyone..."

As she spoke, Martha's eyes were a little moist, "Even if Clark encounters great hardships, he won't do this."

"I used to be so sure. But now, look at this..."

Brianna looked at Martha, who was emotionally broken, at a loss, and was so envious for a while.

Would Briana rule the world if she had a "Martha" too, convinced she would be a better person?

she does not know.

But at least it won't be like it is now, as if my heart is swallowed by a large void, empty.

"Brianna, I really want to know a question that's been on my mind ever since Clarke told me you've been using him."

Sensing Martha's gaze, Brianna lowered her eyes, "What do you want to ask?"

"Have you ever loved anyone?" Martha tried hard to endure the soreness in her throat. She subconsciously felt that her question was too sharp. If it was her past self, she would never ask such a slightly ironic question.

But Martha couldn't help it.

Especially when she learned that Briana wanted to kill her child.

God knows, Martha and Jonathan have been longing to have a child of their own for many years after marriage, but the reality is so disappointing, only the love between them can comfort each other.

Until...until Clark fell from the sky accompanied by a shooting star, as if God heard the prayers of devout believers.

Make him their treasure.

Even if he has some little problems that are not well known.

Even if he wasn't even like them.

She doesn't know, can't she understand what the girl in front of her is thinking?

Or do you think what Clark said at the beginning, it's too late?

The girl in front of her seemed to be stumped by this problem. She seemed to be helplessly thinking for a long time before answering dumbly.

"I don't know. Maybe a long time ago."

After hearing this, Martha suddenly let out a long breath of foul air.

It was too late for Brianna to realize the love and patience she and Jonathan had endured.

"Sorry." Martha calmed down, but to be honest, she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.

It's just that she, who has always been gentle, chose to apologize, "But as a mother, I still hope you can understand."

Brianna subconsciously wanted to nod, but she was suddenly a little confused by what Martha said.

"What do you mean... being a mother too?" She frowned and asked suspiciously.

Martha pursed her lips in disappointment, "Oh, yes. The reproductive rights are in your own hands, of course you can make any choice..."

"What reproductive rights? What does this mean?" Brianna didn't study well in school, and she didn't understand the meaning of the uncommonly used word reproductive rights.

"Your child, Brianna, you have the right to give birth to your child, and you have the right to let it leave this world...I won't impose my thoughts on you, but I still hope you can think carefully about it."

Martha stood up and said a little tiredly.

She chose to leave here.

At this moment, everything is tied into a knot on her body, but there is no solution.

……

"My child?" Brianna clutched her belly in a daze. "Wait...Martha! You mean, I'm pregnant?"

She was so taken by surprise that she didn't even have time to find out why Martha knew about it before she herself.

How could I be pregnant?

But...it doesn't seem like something is impossible.

After all, it's not like Clark hasn't touched her.

She is pregnant.

A child of his own and Clark's blood.

This incident directly confused her, making her deeply trapped in her own world and unable to extricate herself, she didn't even know when Clark appeared in front of her.

It seems that all the confusion has finally been answered.

No wonder I felt uncomfortable during this time, especially after encountering kryptonite, no wonder Clark acted so strangely.

By the way, he was so disappointed before... Could it be that he mistakenly thought that he was going to use kryptonite to threaten their children?

No, she didn't, she didn't—

At least, she hasn't figured it out yet.

"Brianna, Bree..."

A familiar voice called her name in her ear, and her wrist was so painful that she was afraid that she would leave in a second.

Finally, Brianna gradually came to her senses and focused her gaze on the man in front of her.

It's Clark.

Not knowing what was going on, Brianna looked at him and just subconsciously explained, "I didn't mean to hurt it."

"I thought, I thought... I don't know."

Clark didn't know whether he was listening to the weak heartbeat, or thinking about the innocent girl in front of him who was almost cruel.

He was silent for a long time, thinking of what he had damned almost done before, he just let out a soft "um" in a trembling voice.

Fortunately, that didn't really happen.

But the next second, Clark felt Briana struggling to break free from his grip on her wrist.

Immediately afterwards, she heard her raise her head to look at him with her dark eyes, and asked again, "But what you were like before... do you want to kill it?"
