Chapter 4

Lu Lingchuan brought her back to the bedroom, kicking the door closed behind them. The bedroom was also pitch black.

Shen Nian was pushed onto the bed, and then the man\'s warm breath fell on her cheeks again.

The after effects of drinking ice wine came, and her abdomen felt like it was being drilled by an electric drill, with a stabbing pain. Her lower abdomen felt like it was sinking downward.

At first Shen Nian still had the strength to struggle, but that little strength soon disappeared completely. She lay numb and silent, not moving at all.

Their relationship was like the stars in the night sky outside, destined to never see the sun.

There was suddenly the sound of something falling to the ground in the darkness, but neither of them noticed.

It wasn\'t until Lu Lingchuan felt the wetness on his fingertips that his tall figure stopped.

Thinking it was an illusion at first, the feeling on his fingertips was extremely clear.

He immediately reached for the light switch.

"Click", and the whole room lit up.

Shen Nian lay haggardly on the bed, her hair was messy, her face ghastly pale, no longer looking human.

The man\'s eyes immediately looked down, only to see blood staining the sheets...

The glare of the lights made it difficult for Shen Nian to open her eyes. Her eyes were just open to a slit. Without lipstick to maintain her complexion, she looked very unwell.

Staring at the stunned man, Shen Nian pulled the corners of her lips, as frail as a dying person.

Lu Lingchuan was about to open his mouth when his peripheral vision caught something.

The sound from earlier was Shen Nian\'s bag falling to the ground.

The zipper was open, and everything inside had spilled out onto the floor.

A paper with the name of a certain hospital caught Lu Lingchuan\'s attention.

He got up and bent over to pick up the paper, only to find there was another slip inside.

It was an ultrasound report.

Name: Shen Nian

Age: 22

Today\'s date was printed on it as the examination date.

Lu Lingchuan froze as he stared at it, but before he could react emotionally, he realized the paper clipped to the outside was not white but a voluntary termination of pregnancy form. The signature at the bottom was very delicate, it was Shen Nian\'s.

There was also a receipt for an abortion procedure fee.

"...!" Lu Lingchuan\'s pupils suddenly contracted, his body frozen stiff. His grip on the papers tightened subconsciously.

He whipped his head around to glare at her, his words squeezed out through gritted teeth.

"You got an abortion?!"

His voice was not loud, but full of accusation.

"Yes." Shen Nian\'s voice was light, but the determination in it could be heard.

"Who allowed you to get the abortion?" His voice rose slightly.

"......" Shen Nian did not speak.

The man\'s emotions suddenly erupted. He grabbed her collar tightly and easily lifted Shen Nian up.

"Speak! Who allowed you to have the surgery?!" He was furious.

Shen Nian was forced to look up. A smile squeezed across her pale face, "Don\'t worry, I remember what you said, you don\'t want any ties with me."

Since he didn\'t want it, she would listen to him.

"......" As if doused with a bucket of cold water, Lu Lingchuan calmed down completely.

Shen Nian in his hand was like a sick cat, breathing weakly, as if she would die at any moment...

His body jerked as if electric shocked. Lu Lingchuan immediately let her go, and Shen Nian tumbled messily back onto the bed.

One hand on her abdomen, the blood on her skirt was increasing.

Her breathing was slightly labored as she closed her eyes, "President Lu doesn\'t need to say more, this is my own retribution."

She slowly opened her eyes, her expression dazed as she stared at the ceiling, murmuring, "A person like me should stay in hell."

Her words stung Lu Lingchuan\'s heart. He stood over her, glaring angrily at her and gnashing his teeth, "Yes, a cold-blooded creature like you only deserves to stay in hell!"

Shen Nian smiled self-deprecatingly.

The ultrasound report and termination form in his hand were already crumpled into a ball. Lu Lingchuan endured the raging desire to strangle her and leave this world together. He whipped around and strode angrily towards the door.

"President Lu."

Lu Lingchuan had just opened the bedroom door when the girl\'s voice came from behind him.

"......" His figure stopped.

Shen Nian said weakly, "If President Lu does not intend to kill me today, then please help call an ambulance, thank you President Lu."

"......" After another few seconds of silence, Lu Lingchuan left the bedroom.

"Bang!" She heard the sound of the front door slamming shut.

Shen Nian lay on the bed, chuckling softly to herself.

After drinking so much, her head hurt badly. She curled herself into a ball, one hand pressing on her lower abdomen as she groaned in pain.

Only when she was alone would she dare to show this fragile side.

Shen Nian couldn\'t help thinking, if she died like this, it didn\'t seem so bad.

Fifteen minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the entrance of the residential compound. The security guard on duty had just seen Shen Nian enter not long ago, and now she was being carried out.

The medics had entered using the password. They rushed into the bedroom and saw Shen Nian curled up in a ball on the bed, her skirt and sheets covered in blood.

They quickly got her onto a stretcher. By now Shen Nian was barely breathing. She strained to pull up the corners of her lips in self-mockery.

It looked like Lu Lingchuan was not going to let her die so easily.

In the middle of the night Shen Nian was sent to the emergency room. She had just had an abortion procedure but went ahead to drink alcohol, causing massive bleeding. Fortunately she was saved in time and avoided serious issues.

The doctor on night duty happened to be the one Shen Nian had seen earlier that day. Seeing her being pushed into the ward, the doctor was very surprised. After hearing what happened from others, the doctor walked into Shen Nian\'s room. Shen Nian lay weakly on the hospital bed. Her hands were cold and she was in very poor condition, not looking at all like a 22-year old girl.

After getting Shen Nian on IV fluids and adjusting the drip rate, the doctor hesitated but couldn\'t help lecturing her.

"It\'s your own body. If you can\'t even take care of yourself, who else can you expect to care for you? Even if your parents have passed, you still cannot harm yourself like this. How heartbroken would their souls be to see this?"

The doctor really could not bear to watch on anymore. Even if the young are physically resilient, this was still too much self-destruction.

Shen Nian listened quietly to everything before slowly raising her head to look at the doctor, "Thank you." Thank you for your concern.

"......" The doctor was taken aback for a moment. Seeing her frail state, the doctor couldn\'t bear to continue scolding either. She could only sigh, her voice much softer, "You rest first. You still need confinement care after the abortion. For the next month try not to consume anything cold, spicy, or alcohol. If you don\'t nurse your health, all sorts of problems will plague you when you grow old, leaving you full of regrets."

Having said that, the doctor left the ward.

Shen Nian silently stared at the ceiling.

Recalling something, she took her phone that was placed beside her.

In her bloodied state, she had been carried onto the stretcher without taking anything. But she kept this phone on her like a talisman at all times.

When the nurse changed her into a hospital gown earlier, the phone had been taken out.

The phone looked rather old, about three to four years behind the current models.

She pressed the side button and the screen lit up.

After unlocking with her password, Shen Nian opened the photo gallery. There was only one picture inside.
