Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Abortion
In an instant, the entire room was filled with screams that sent shivers down the spine.
From just that sound alone, one could tell the kind of tornt ng Rou was enduring at that mont.
Zhong Niangyao was very clear that monts before, it was only because of that talisman that the ghost fetus inside ng Rou’s belly had temporarily quieted down.
Though the ghost fetus was small, it too sought good fortune and avoided disaster; earlier, it must have sensed the power of the talisman and beco wary of it, thus not daring to cause trouble. Now that it saw her leaving, the ghost fetus would surely return the pain it had suffered from the talisman twice over to ng Rou.
Thus, ng Rou’s pain was also within expectation.
However, this was no longer her concern. Since ng Rou herself was willing to die holding onto those secrets, then she, an outsider, had no need to ddle any further.
Mr. ng and Madam ng had already co to the bedside, watching as ng Rou curled up in pain, rolling around on the bed; they could only anxiously watch, helpless to do anything.
Zhong Niangyao turned a deaf ear and continued walking towards the door.
Hearing ng Rou’s painful screams made even Zhao Xuanglang’s skin crawl. Compared to ng Rou, he felt that the incident he had previously encountered, regarding exchanging lives, was nothing but a minor issue.
Even though he didn’t know why Zhong Niangyao refused to help ng Rou, from the recent conversation, it was evident that ng Rou was definitely hiding sothing from them. However, even if that wasn’t the case, he would unequivocally stand by Zhong Niangyao’s side.
Since he had already acknowledged Zhong Niangyao as his boss, he was definitely going to unconditionally support his own “big brother.”
Therefore, when he saw Zhong Niangyao leaving, he didn’t hesitate to follow closely behind her.
“Lady Zhong,” ng Rui Kai hastened forward, blocking Zhong Niangyao’s path, his deanor no longer as sharp as it had been before, now much more humble, his tone filled with entreaty, “Xiao Rou knows she’s wrong. Whatever you want to know, she will definitely tell you.”
Having said this, he stifled the anger in his heart and began to scold ng Rou, “ng Rou, it has co to this point, are you still going to continue hiding things? Do you really have no desire to live?”
His anger wasn’t directed at Zhong Niangyao, but at his own sister, ng Rou. By now, if he couldn’t see that ng Rou had sothing to hide, then he would truly be a fool.
Yet, no matter what, she was his own sister. He couldn’t just watch ng Rou head toward her own demise.
“I… I… Ah—”
ng Rou, while clutching her belly and rolling around, forced herself through the severe pain to yell out, “Don’t leave, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything.”
She had never experienced such pain before, feeling as if she might die at any mont. Yet, ironically, she was unable at this mont to choose death, forced to live through and acutely feel each bout of excruciating pain.
Upon hearing ng Rou’s words, Zhong Niangyao turned around and ca back to the bedside. She then stretched out her hand and made a hand gesture, forming a seal.
Everyone only saw a flash of golden light touch ng Rou’s belly, and imdiately after, ng Rou’s cries of pain ceased.
Although the severe pain in her stomach had disappeared, ng Rou still lay on the bed, completely powerless. Due to the intense pain she had just suffered, her clothes were now soaked with cold sweat. Sticky and uncomfortable as she felt, she no longer had the strength to even lift her hand, let alone change her clothes.
After everything was done, Zhong Niangyao found a spot to sit near the bay window by the bed and then instructed Zhao Xuanglang to draw back all the curtains in the room.
The long-absent sunlight stread in, bringing a hint of vitality to the room.
In the past, whenever the curtains were drawn, ng Rou would feel extrely uncomfortable. So, the room hadn’t seen sunlight for a long ti.
The dazzling sunlight made ng Rou close her eyes imdiately. It took her quite a while to adjust before she could slowly open her eyes again. Seeing the sunlight once more, she couldn’t help but feel as if she was in a completely different world.
But before she had ti to enjoy the vitality the sunlight brought, she already heard Zhong Niangyao’s voice.
“Alright, can you talk now?” Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, “Speak up about what you’ve done! If you’re still not willing to tell the truth, then I’m not willing to accompany you any longer. My ti is precious, and I don’t want to waste it here with you.”
If ng Rou had held out hope before, feeling that everything might be alright, then after that bout of excruciating pain, she didn’t dare to entertain such thoughts anymore. That pain was worse than having a knife stabbed into her body and twisted around. However—
“I don’t know which matter you’re referring to?” ng Rou’s tone was weak.
It wasn’t that she wanted to hide anything, she really didn’t know which incident was being ntioned; she had done too many things.
Moreover, recalling the recent events, her heart still felt unsettled. Other matters might be okay to discuss, but there was one thing that she truly didn’t want to bring up in front of her family.
“Shouldn’t you know very well yourself?” Zhong Niangyao looked at ng Rou with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “I heard you recently took a trip to Hong Kong, what exactly did you go there for?”
Instantly, all of the ng Family’s eyes were fixed on ng Rou.
As soon as Zhong Niangyao brought up this matter, ng Rou’s gaze began to dart around nervously, stuttering, as if she had so unspeakable secret.
“Don’t try to lie.” Zhong Niangyao’s voice rang out once again, “Cause and effect, cause and effect, if you’re not willing to speak about the cause, then the effect you’re experiencing now won’t be resolved.”
ng Rou couldn’t dare to look toward her family and then spoke in a low voice, “I went to Hong Kong to have an abortion!”
“Abortion?”
The entire ng Family was shocked; no one had expected that their always well-behaved and sensible daughter, sister, would run off to Hong Kong for an abortion. Previously, they hadn’t even heard about her having a boyfriend.
“ng Rou, what exactly have you done?” Mr. ng’s tone turned particularly stern, his sympathy from earlier completely gone, “And whose child was it that was in your stomach?”
Madam ng and ng Kai Rui also looked eagerly at ng Rou, waiting for her to reveal the answer.
They were definitely not going to let off the man who had impregnated ng Rou, but the most important thing at the mont was to deal with ng Rou’s situation. After all, when faced with life and death, all other matters could be temporarily set aside.
