Chapter 198 After being imprisoned, she suffered from depression
"Don't worry, he won't be hurt."
Huo Dongming was very satisfied with Shang Wanwan's reaction. She had never been so well-behaved and obedient.
The water from the shower poured down onto her body, and Shang Wanwan's snow-white skin glowed with a radiant light. Just looking at her was enough to drive people crazy.
Huo Dongming stayed with her for three years and never felt bored.
The two of them stayed in the bathroom for nearly an hour, and Huo Dongming served her the entire time, taking care of her and making her feel comfortable.
Huo Dongming cared a lot about her feelings, and every movement was gentle, which made her feel at ease.
She could feel his restraint. When they were together before, Huo Dongming's ruthlessness made her feel completely broken. She couldn't get out of bed for a week after each incident.
She received his rare consideration and felt happy both physically and mentally.
Afterwards, Huo Dongming personally helped her bathe and dried her body.
She came out refreshed, and Huo Dongming stayed in the bathroom to continue taking a shower.
Shang Wanwan packed his dirty clothes, and before putting them into the dirty clothes basket, she habitually reached into his pockets to see if there was anything left behind.
A small receipt fell out of Huo Dongming's right pocket.
Shang Wanwan picked it up, and it was marked with the hotel and the amount of consumption. Presidential Suite for One Night, and then there was something like a fallen candy wrapper inside.
Her blood froze instantly.
There was a sound of water coming from inside, and Shang Wanwan's ears rang.
She knew he was not clean, but she never thought that one day she would see the evidence with her own eyes.
Shang Wanwan only felt that everything in front of her eyes was pitch black and she could hardly stand steadily.
She didn't know how long she stood there holding the two things. Finally, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. She hurriedly threw the note and the thing into the trash can in the room and quickly packed them up and carried them to the door together with the dirty laundry basket.
She knew that if Zhang's mother saw it upstairs, she would take it away. Shang Wanwan's heart beat faster, as if she was the one who cheated and not Huo Dongming.
She was more nervous than he was.
Huo Dongming came out of the shower, his thick black hair tied behind his head, with water drops dripping from his forehead.
He wrapped a bathrobe around half of his body and wiped his hair with a towel.
"Not asleep yet?"
Huo Dongming saw Shang Wanwan sitting on the bed in a daze with a pale face and lifeless eyes in the dim yellow light.
"Sleep, fall asleep immediately..."
Shang Wanwan's eyes seemed empty and lifeless. The past three years passed by like a revolving lantern, breaking her heart into pieces, dropping from the sky and landing heavily on the ground.
"What's wrong? You look so unhappy. Did I hurt you just now? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Huo Dongming walked over and stroked her face gently, then touched her hands and found that her hands were cold and his eyes were full of worry.
Shang Wanwan's eyes did not move at all, and she did not feel anything when Huo Dongming held her hand.
Her body was warm under the quilt, but only she knew that her heart was so cold that it could form ice beads.
She turned her head slowly. Huo Dongming's eyes were so sincere that it could make people cry. Shang Wanwan smiled bitterly.
"No, you are very gentle and kind to me... How can it hurt me?"
She lowered her head, and in the dim light it was hard to see the tears dripping from her eyes onto the sheets, leaving a few grey patterns on the clean white sheets. When she raised her eyes, her eyes were misty, like crystal grapes.
"Dong Ming, I want to sleep. I'm so sleepy."
She slowly hid under the quilt in front of him. Huo Dongming did not notice that something was wrong with her. It was almost dawn. He could not bear the greed of his own lust. If she had not been unwell, he would have done it more than once.
"Rest."
He pressed his hot lips against her cold forehead. Shang Wanwan closed her eyes and tears silently flowed down from the other side.
In fact, there was nothing to be sad about. This was not the only excessive thing he had done. She knew about it before, but she just turned a blind eye to it.
Even Huo Dongming knew very well that all he could give her was to take care of her, give her food and drink, give her some status, and give her a useless title. Finally, after she gave birth to their child and he became the heir of the Huo family, he could continue to live with the woman he loved.
She was just a tool from beginning to end.
She was immersed in Huo Dongming's gentleness, and even now, she was still in a dilemma because of his kindness to her.
Having seen so many realities, she still believes that he will change one day.
Haha, what a ridiculous Shang Wanwan.
She is so love-brained that she believes that the bad nature of men will slowly return their hearts to the family as time goes by. The fact is, the older men get, the more they can let themselves go. Some people simply give up struggling because they are poor.
As for those who are rich, the outside world is a glamorous world created by their money, and it would be meaningless if they don’t enjoy everything they have created.
Shang Wanwan fell into a deep sleep. In her daze, someone hugged her waist and kissed her face several times.
She knew it was Huo Dongming, but unfortunately, her heart would never be moved again.
The next morning, when Shang Wanwan opened her eyes, there was no one around her.
She went downstairs and found that the food on the table was richer than yesterday. She had no appetite and was hungry.
The child in her belly needed to eat and grow, so she sat at the dining table and transferred the food into her mouth, which tasted like chewing wax.
The things in Huo Dongming's pockets were eating away at her fragile life. Every day, Aunt Zhang would find different ways to cook for her. Even though Shang Wanwan ate a lot and was sleepy, she just kept losing weight.
The only thing that could be seen was her belly that was getting bigger with time. Her cheeks and eyelids were sunken, and her already small face became the size of a palm. Huo Dongming could cover her entire face with one hand.
Shang Wanwan became visibly thinner. After three months, her belly became visible and she looked even weirder.
She looked sick and pale. Even Huo Dongming didn't know what had happened. He called Dr. Lin and a nutritionist to prepare meals for her, but the more she ate, the less weight she gained. Fortunately, when she had a full-body checkup, the baby was healthy.
"It may be that the baby in her belly absorbed nutrients too quickly, which is why Mrs. Huo became like this. Some fetuses nourish the mother, while others feed on the mother. This is all normal. Mr. Huo does not need to worry. This condition will recover after giving birth with proper care."
Doctor Lin's answer could not make Huo Dongming feel relieved. In the past three months, Shang Wanwan became much quieter. She often stared out the window in a daze. Huo Dongming also relaxed his control over her and even allowed her to let Li Luo visit her.
Huo Dongming installed surveillance before Li Luo came. When he played back the surveillance footage, he didn't find anything. The two of them were just talking normally, but Shang Wanwan also showed indifference and almost unfamiliarity towards her once close friend.
Even Li Luo felt that Shang Wanwan was different from before.
Huo Dongming asked Dr. Lin to come to his house late at night while Shang Wanwan was sleeping soundly.
He asked Dr. Lin to examine Shang Wanwan, and the results should be out in the next few days.
Doctor Lin placed the report on Huo Dongming's desk. He took it out and scanned it, frowning: "What does it mean?"
"Mrs. Huo must have suffered from depression after she became pregnant."
