Chapter 7%
The sharp pain in her back made her gasp for air. Silas still stood there calmly and self–possessed, with a stern face.%
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said something that could kill people.%
“Aunt May, ask Dr. Chapman to come to our house for an abortion.“%
This simple sentence proved that this kind of thing happened more than once or twice in the Gill Family.%
Sue didn’t know that I had done this for him before.%
Silas would never let any woman give birth to his child.
Including me.%
In the second month of marriage, I found out that I was pregnant
Afraid that Silas would harm me and the baby, I thought about running away, but no matter how I tried, Silas always caught me.
It was during one of those struggles that I had a miscarriage.
That day, the corners of Silas‘ eyes were bloodshot with hatred for me. He said I was cruel and that I had no heart.%
But I still don’t understand why I was the cruel one when he killed the child.
Sue didn’t understand as I did then, so she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
“No, I don’t want to abort this child.“%
“Mr. Gill, didn’t you say you love me very much? You said you love me the most. Why can’t you let me give birth to the child?“Z
Silas turned around slowly, eyes lowered, a flash of disdain crossing his face.”
‘Love?“%
“Do you really think you deserve it?“%
Sue looked at those deep eyes and felt trembling all over. She shuddered.”
Silas instructed Aunt May to take care of Sue while he drove away.”
At this time, he had more important things to do.
Aunt May sighed and coaxed Sue to wait for the doctor at home.”
When I left Gills‘ residence, I was in a coma for several days because of old and new injuries.
When I woke up, Lester was by my side.
The faint morning light illuminated the top of his head, reflecting different hues.%
I subconsciously reached out to touch it, but then I heard Lester cry out in his sleep.”
“Julie, run!”
Julie?%
My outstretched hand froze in mid–air. Was that Julie he mentioned, me?
Lester was moved. I hurriedly retracted my hand and closed my eyes to pretend to sleep.”
Still, my fluttering eyelashes betrayed me.
“Are you still pretending to sleep after you wake up?”
The man’s voice was low and slightly nasal from waking up, sounding somewhat endearing.
I couldn’t help but chuckle. When I opened my eyes, I met his tender gaze.”
“Get up. The cook downstairs made your favorite chicken soup.“/
Lester pulled me up from the bed, affectionately patting my head.”
Chicken soup.
When I was a child, I loved chicken soup made by my grandmother the most, but after my grandmother passed away, I never went to the countryside again.
The chicken soup made by people in the city no longer tasted the same as before.
I sat at the dining table, looking at the soup before me and took a spoonful.
The moment it entered my mouth, it felt like I was transported back to those hot summer days spent in the countryside.
“This taste! How is it exactly like my grandma’s?”
Lester smiled softly, saying it was a secret.
I chuckled a few times and finished the soup completely. When I looked up, a car crashed through the fence and drove straight into the courtyard.
Amidst the debris, I saw Silas get out of the car.
“Lester, get out here!“%
A group of bodyguards blocked Silas outside, but he roared like a wild beast out of control.
I knew Silas had come for me.%
I didn’t want to cause trouble for Lester, so I stood up
But Lester grabbed my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine.”
