My sister gets into an accident and needs an emergency blood transfusion when I'm six months pregnant. After a round of tests, my blood is the only suitable one. I'm exhausted and too skinny after being tormented by morning sickness. I have to say no. However, my family forces me to do it. I have no strength to resist; I can only beg my husband for help. To my devastation, he stands by and watches me coldly. "It's fine for you to donate some blood since you're so healthy. Queenie isn't the same as you—she has a bright future ahead, so we can't let anything affect that." I pass out after the blood donation. The first thing I do when I wake up is make an appointment for an abortion.
View MoreI competed in the dance competition and won the silver medal.My teacher looked at me regretfully."If you hadn't been pregnant and had trained harder during that time, you definitely could have won the gold."Still, I was satisfied.Winning silver was already proof of my ability.The moment I stepped off the plane, Matthew greeted me with a bouquet of flowers."Congratulations, little beggar! I didn't expect you to actually win an award."I was extremely grateful to him.If he hadn't taken the initiative to expose Queenie for bribing the judges, I never would have had the chance to compete."I should thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have had any hope of participating in the competition."A hint of a smile appeared in Matthew's eyes."A simple thank-you isn't enough. How about treating me to a meal?""Of course! Not just one meal—ten meals if you want! You fed me so many times when we were kids. Consider this as me repaying you!"I thought it was just a joke, but Matthew
I rested for half a month after the abortion.The first thing I did after being discharged was contact my old dance teacher and ask to compete in the upcoming dance competition."But the competitor list is already finalized. Your spot was given to your sister back then."A bit disappointed, I sighed."Is there really no other way?""There is one last option—a dance battle!"When I arrived at the dance studio, the teacher was in the middle of training."Follow my moves and go through a round with me. Let's see if your fundamentals have weakened after the months of pregnancy."After completing a round of recovery training with the teacher, I finally asked about the dance battle."I've already submitted your application. It's scheduled for a week from now. Spend the next few days training properly. Don't embarrass me."It wasn't until the day of the battle that I found out my opponent was Queenie.She had come with Henry, who looked noticeably haggard."Stephanie!"His eyes b
Sure enough, the moment our parents' voices reached the hallway outside the ward, Queenie rushed out. She threw herself into my mother's arms and sobbed.At first, my parents were stunned upon seeing me hospitalized. But soon, their gazes turned cold and sharp."Stephanie, all you did was donate a little blood. Why are you acting sick and staying in the hospital? Hurry up and discharge yourself! Get home and cook for your sister!"After a round of scolding, as if that wasn't enough, Queenie leaned in and whispered something into my mother's ear. My mother's expression immediately darkened."And I order you to apologize to Queenie right now! Why would you say such hurtful things to her?"Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.At this point, I had completely given up on them."Why should I apologize? What exactly did I say that was wrong? Queenie can do whatever she wants, but I'm not allowed to talk about it? If she knows I hate her, then why does she keep appearing in
Henry shook his head like a madman.He looked up at me dazedly as if searching for something to refute my words, but he was left speechless."If he was truly one of a kind to you, you wouldn't have ignored him, nor would you have forced me to donate blood. You'd rather make chicken soup for Queenie than spare us even a single glance."As soon as I finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open.Queenie walked in, teary-eyed. She immediately put on her innocent act."I always knew that you hated me. If you hated me so much, then why did you even donate blood for me? It would have been better to just let me die rather than live and continue to disgust you."As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on the distraught Henry.In the past, whenever she said things like this, Henry would always rush to defend her.Unfortunately, Henry himself was already in despair as he sat on the floor stiffly. His mind was buzzing.I made no effort to hide my disdain and nodded openly, showin
"I'm sorry, sir, but that is confidential."The nurse's response did not satisfy Henry."I'm the patient's family. I have the right to know what surgery she's having!" Henry pressed. A faint layer of sweat appeared on his forehead."If you're the patient's family, then you should already know what surgery she's having. You wouldn't have asked me."When he didn't get an answer, the panic in his heart grew stronger.Henry started pounding on the tightly shut operating room doors."Open the door! Open the door!"His eyes turned red.Images of the moment he had just seen kept flashing through his mind.But since the surgery had already begun, it was impossible to stop.Two security guards removed Henry from the area forcibly.…As I lay on the bed, I heard Henry shouting vaguely.A relaxed smile tugged at my lips before I drifted into unconsciousness.When I opened my eyes again, Henry was right by my bedside.It seemed as if he had been here for a long time.His eyes were
I forced myself to hold back the sting at the tip of my nose. Then, I raised my head to keep the tears in my eyes from falling and asked Henry, "Do you not know that I just donated 14 ounces of blood while pregnant? And now you want me to cook?"The look of flattery on Henry's face quickly darkened, and he spoke impatiently. "Why are you dragging this out? It's just cooking, and you're acting so reluctant. It's just 14 ounces. If the doctor hadn't limited the amount, I would have asked them to take even more!"I looked at him in disbelief.Tears finally streamed down my face uncontrollably."So in your eyes, I'm just a walking blood bank. Is that it? Then why did you even marry me in the first place?"Henry looked at me, and a flicker of panic flashed in his eyes.Just as he was about to comfort me, his phone rang.Queenie's delicate voice came through."I feel so awful, Henry. Can my sister cook for me? I know she just hates me and wants me dead. She probably wishes I would ju
I heard what he said.Lying on the bed, I panted heavily. My eyes turned red.I met Henry at a musical.I was a dancer on stage, and he was a musician for the show. Our teacher introduced us.The first time I saw him, I was captivated by his dedication to music.During rehearsals, I was careless and almost fell off the stage.Henry caught me in time, cushioning my fall so I didn't get hurt. But his right leg fractured.At that time, I was trembling in fear.He hugged me tightly."What are you afraid of? I don't want any compensation from you. Besides, even if my leg is broken, it won't affect me much. But for you, a fracture in your leg would change your entire life."I fell into his gentle embrace because of those words. Unfortunately, I now realized that dedication to music didn't mean loyalty in love.He loved the way I danced, but he could just as easily fall for Queenie's youthful movements.I was half-asleep and vaguely heard Henry push the door open.He was holdin
After Henry left, there was no news from him at all.I waited for him day and night, but he never came back.I was starving and couldn't bear it anymore. Despite my weakness, I forced myself to go to the kitchen and prepare something to eat.There was a pressure cooker on the stove. I opened it and looked inside. There indeed was chicken soup there.There were also some scraps of meat, along with a chicken neck and chicken butt.Henry had taken all the best cuts of meat. There wasn't a single piece left.I froze for a moment before letting out an unbelievable laugh.I didn't even know what I was still hoping for.I boiled a bowl of instant pasta with plain water.That was when Henry came back.Seeing me wobbling as I carried the bowl of pasta out, he frowned slightly."You're pregnant, and you're eating this? How is this nutritious?"He stepped forward to support me and helped me sit at the dining table. He even thoughtfully pulled out a chair for me.I glanced at him in s
"Mrs. Palmer, do you really want to terminate this pregnancy? You know Mr. Palmer's situation. If you go through with this, it'll be very difficult for him to have children in the future. Once the abortion is done, there's no turning back!"The doctor looked at me in disbelief and even took out Henry's medical report."Mrs. Palmer, the fact that you were able to conceive Mr. Palmer's child this time is already considered a medical miracle. I advise you to reconsider—""No need. Go ahead with the procedure," I interrupted the doctor calmly.Since no one cared about this child, why should I take the risk of giving birth, only for the child to suffer in this world?After scheduling the abortion, I returned to Henry Palmer's villa.He was just walking out of the kitchen while carrying a lunchbox.Seeing me return weak and pale, he didn't even pause for a second. He simply reminded me, "I left some chicken soup in the pot to help replenish your blood. Make sure you have it for dinner
