Chapter 140 Medicine in the Trash Can
It was broad daylight, but the sunlight was blocked by the thick curtains. A little light penetrated through the gaps, and the room was half dark. Shen Zhichu woke up, feeling a pain all over her body. She sat up and waited until she got used to the strange pain before slowly standing up. She moved to the wardrobe, opened the door, and took out a set of professional clothes. Halfway through putting them on, she suddenly saw a box of medicine in the trash can.
She walked over and picked it up. Wasn't this the medicine she took last night? She remembered that she put it back in the drawer after taking it.
It goes without saying that anything that appeared in the trash can was thrown away by Li Jingshen.
Shen Zhichu clenched the medicine box tightly, biting her lower lip with her teeth until she felt pain and left a tooth mark, then she let go.
She remembered the nightmare last night and the look in Li Jingshen's eyes when he looked at her in the night, and Shen Zhichu suddenly felt fear.
A chill ran from the soles of her feet to her palms, and she squatted on the ground, trembling with fear.
It was because she knew too well what kind of person Li Jingshen was that she was afraid that her nightmare would come true. Li Jingshen was a heartless and ruthless person. He had no feelings for her, only possessiveness.
It was like a kite held in his hand, sometimes loose, sometimes tight. She flew high but could not escape from his palm. She was struggling desperately but Li Jingshen was just playing.
Li Jingshen, who has held power for a long time, simply doesn't like the feeling of being out of control, so the child is just a tool for him to control her. As for who will raise the child after it is born, what the future will be like, and what problems may arise, these are not within his considerations.
She was so scared, really scared.
Shen Zhichu thought of a movie she had seen before, in which a woman was trafficked into the mountains. At first, she wanted to escape, but was later locked up at home and forced to get pregnant. After giving birth to the child, she gave up the idea of escaping.
So sometimes mental imprisonment is more terrifying than physical imprisonment. Once a person accepts his fate, he cannot escape even if he has wings.
She was afraid of becoming the woman in the movie. If Li Jingshen really wanted her to have a child, she would have no ability to refuse.
It was just like the nightmare she had, being locked up at home, helplessly watching her belly grow bigger day by day...
The alarm on her cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting her thoughts. Shen Zhichu reached out to turn off the alarm, took out the medicine from the medicine box and put it in a bottle of vitamins.
…….
Shen Zhichu really wanted to get rid of the image of her giving birth in her mind, but the more she tried, the harder it became, and the image became clearer and clearer.
Zhou Xiao made soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. She always found this kind of eggs easier to swallow, but when the fork pierced the surface and the yolk flowed out, her body suddenly had an overreaction. Shen Zhichu covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom to vomit.
The vomit still had blood in it, and for fear of being discovered by Zhou Xiao, Shen Zhichu flushed the toilet while vomiting.
Zhou Xiao overthought it and thought Shen Zhichu vomited because she was pregnant.
She stood at the bathroom door and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement inside. Seeing that she was vomiting violently, she couldn't help but worry. She poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her after Shen Zhichu came out.
"Miss Shen, drink some hot water and take your time."
Shen Zhichu was exhausted from vomiting, her hands were shaking. She took the cup of water and rinsed her mouth, washing away the disgusting taste in her mouth. Then she said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you..."
Zhou Xiao watched her drink the water and asked, "Miss Shen, are you having good news?"
Shen Zhichu frowned, not understanding the meaning of her words: "What good news?"
Zhou Xiao exclaimed, "Oh my!" and said secretly, "I'm pregnant."
"I'm not pregnant."
"Then why are you vomiting so much? Is it a stomach problem?" Zhou Xiao saw that Shen Zhichu's face was pale. "No, I have to call Doctor Jiang over."
Zhou Xiao was an impatient person. On the one hand, she was really worried about Shen Zhichu, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Li Jingshen would come back and ask her about it, so she immediately took out her cell phone.
Shen Zhichu reached out and held her hand: "No need to fight, I have stomach medicine."
"But……."
Shen Zhichu said: "I'm really fine, it's just an old problem and I can take some medicine to get rid of it. Just don't tell Li Jingshen."
"Why didn't you tell Mr. Li?" Zhou Xiao didn't understand. This was the first time she'd seen a couple in this situation, so close yet so distant. Why didn't she tell her husband when she was clearly feeling so miserable? Didn't she want to be cared for? To be loved?
"I just don't want him to worry." Shen Zhichu blurted out a lie, "You'll know when you get married."
Zhou Xiao said that she didn't want to fall in love at all. She still had a lot of youth left and didn't want to enter the grave of marriage early.
