"You're carrying someone's child. It's like having nine lives. Remember! You have to take responsibility for taking other people's lives," said Afika.
"Ah, nag!" Diaz didn't want to respond to Afika's babbling anymore. He stepped on the gas and almost knocked Afika off her feet.
Reflexively, Afika's hands immediately wrapped around Diaz's waist. She also put her body behind Diaz's back as he immediately sped up.
