Lin Xihe raised her eyes and looked at Ji Zhuo, who was so angry that he was almost out of control. Her lips trembled slightly, and she hesitated for a few moments, but in the end, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out and chose to remain silent.
At that moment, she felt her mind was in complete chaos, like a tangled mess, and she couldn't make sense of it at all.
When her period didn't come last month, she did consider the possibility of pregnancy. She even secretly planned that if she were unexpectedly pregnant, she would quickly find some medicine to take and end the matter decisively.
However, a sliver of hope in her heart spread rapidly like wildfire. She always harbored the illusion that she couldn't possibly get pregnant so easily.
Who could have predicted that reality would be so cruel? Now that her pregnancy is confirmed, her heart is in turmoil.
In the midst of the panic, the thought of escaping unconsciously popped into my head.
Half an hour later, Doctor Tao rushed over and took Lin Xihe's pulse again.
"Lord Ji, if we administer the medicine to the young lady now, it would be feasible, but she would inevitably suffer unbearable pain once she took it," Doctor Tao said truthfully, looking troubled.
"Open." Ji Zhuo spoke sparingly, uttering only this one cold word.
Even after the abortion pills were brought in, Lin Xihe remained lying in bed, completely bewildered and at a loss, utterly unsure how to deal with this thorny situation.
Her gaze fell on the bowl of dark, murky medicine, and she felt a chill run from her feet to her head, her heart filled with fear.
This fear stems not only from the dread of physical pain after taking the medication, but more profoundly from the uncertainty and uncertainty about the future, and the agonizing decision of whether to keep or leave the little life inside her.
She knew in her heart that once she swallowed this bowl of medicine, everything might be settled, but what awaited her afterward?
Physical pain is inevitable, but the guilt and pain in her heart will likely follow her like a shadow, becoming an indelible haze for her entire life.
Doctor Tao waited quietly outside the door. Ji Zhuo stepped forward, gently touched the medicine bowl with his fingers, and felt that the temperature was now just right and no longer too hot to handle.
"Get up and drink your medicine." Ji Zhuo's voice was cold and brooked no argument.
Lin Xihe bit her lower lip tightly, her body seemingly nailed to the bed, completely still.
In the past, if Ji Zhuo had spoken to her in this tone, she would have definitely not backed down and retorted sharply.
But now, the situation is completely different. Knowing that she is in the wrong, she no longer has the confidence to resist.
Seeing that Lin Xihe remained unresponsive, Ji Zhuo frowned and spoke again in a cold voice: "Today, you must drink this medicine." His tone was even more resolute, as if there was no room for negotiation.
"I won't drink it."
Lin Xihe mustered her courage, her voice soft yet resolute.
She instinctively covered her abdomen with her hand; she couldn't drink the medicine under these circumstances.
"You have no choice." Upon hearing Lin Xihe's tone, Ji Zhuo's anger flared up instantly, and he was furious.
In his view, Lin Xihe was determined to keep the child, completely disregarding his feelings.
He strode forward, his large hand suddenly reaching out to pull Lin Xihe off the bed. With his other hand, he steadily held the medicine bowl, his eyes filled with anger: "Open your mouth and drink it yourself. If I feed you, it will only make you feel worse."
"Ji Zhuo, give me some more time, I'm scared..." Lin Xihe's eyes reddened, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled with pleading.
"When you did something wrong, why didn't you think of this outcome?" Ji Zhuo sneered, his eyes filled with a mixture of disappointment and anger.
"Back then, I really didn't know why. Please give me a little more time to think about it, okay?" Lin Xihe said, tears streaming down her face, making a final attempt to change things.
"You're deliberately trying to drive me crazy, aren't you, Lin Xihe?"
Ji Zhuo was completely consumed by rage, and his rational defenses collapsed.
He suddenly raised his arm, his large hand carrying a fierce aura, and grabbed Lin Xihe's chin tightly, with such force that it seemed he wanted to crush her jawbone. At the same time, he raised the medicine bowl high with his other hand, as if he was about to force the bitter and pungent medicine into her mouth without any regard for the consequences.
Lin Xihe was instantly gripped by fear, her heart clenching, and she panicked to the extreme.
Her hands waved helplessly in the air as she desperately pushed Ji Zhuo with all her might.
However, Ji Zhuo was now driven mad by rage, and her strength was astonishing. Her seemingly desperate resistance was utterly ineffective against him.
In despair and helplessness, Lin Xihe choked back tears and cried out, "Ji Zhuo, let's break up. Let's break up from now on. Don't force me to do things I don't want to do anymore."
"separate?"
Ji Zhuo seemed to have heard the most absurd joke in the world, and a mocking smirk instantly appeared on his face.
His hand, which had been raised high to administer the medicine, suddenly stopped in mid-air. He never expected that Lin Xihe would say such resolute words at this moment.
"Why should we separate? From the moment you provoked me, you have no say in our relationship!" Ji Zhuo's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of domineering and forceful anger.
Lin Xihe knew that in the current tense situation, mentioning human rights to Ji Zhuo would only add fuel to the fire and further anger him.
After all, in this hierarchical and patriarchal society, what right did she, a weak woman, have to talk about human rights in front of Ji Zhuo?
"Don't force me. As long as you don't force me, I promise I won't say those things that make you angry anymore." Lin Xihe's voice trembled, her words filled with pleading and weakness.
