Life After Leaving

The landlady invited Eulalia in to sit on the sofa and poured her a glass of lemon water, which she placed on the coffee table."How have you been feeling these last few days? Are you uncomfortable?""Just a lack of appetite and a bit nauseous, other than that, I'm okay.""That's a normal reaction, but if you feel really bad, you should go see a doctor. When I was pregnant with my son, I also had no appetite for anything. My husband spent his days figuring out what to eat and took me out to distract me; it made me feel better. Oh, when I didn't feel like eating, I liked sour things, like lemon slices. Try this and see," she suggested, handing over the drink.Eulalia, touched and envious of the proprietor's words, admired the care she received from her husband and his consideration for her and their child. She tasted the lemon water, finding it pleasantly sweet and sour, and nodded, "It's delicious.""That's good, I enjoyed drinking it when I was pregnant too, but you can't drink too m

No Deal

Early the next morning, Eulalia boarded the bus to the county town. Upon arriving, she took a taxi to the largest shopping mall in the area. This was her first visit to a mall since she had arrived in town, and she concealed the excitement trembling in her heart.Eulalia surveyed her surroundings while memorizing the route, searching for a jewelry store. After asking around, she finally found a shop where she could pawn jewelry. She glanced at the décor and then her eyes settled on the jewelry displayed behind the glass—too ordinary. She was unsure how to price them.It was only when a sales clerk saw her wandering around that he approached her and asked, “What kind of jewelry are you looking to pick out, miss?”Eulalia responded directly, “Is your boss here?”The clerk’s smile faltered slightly, subtly masking his concern—perhaps fearing she was there to return an item or cause trouble.“Our boss isn’t here, but the manager is.”“Could you please call the manager over? Thank you.”Th

A Message

“If you can’t afford it, then I’ll have to look elsewhere,” Eulalia said as she had meticulously observed the jewelry store’s decor upon entering. It was unlikely they couldn’t come up with a million. “This necklace, nearly worth a million, I’m sure there are other stores that can pay for it, like the jewelry just around the corner.” What Eulalia was saying was Mr. Louis’s competitor. Hearing this, he was about to say something when Eulalia suddenly stood up. “Not to mention, using this necklace as a centerpiece could attract many customers, or even selling it in the city for millions would net you a huge profit. As Eulalia spoke, she casually walked towards the exit, her nonchalant demeanor making Mr. Louis even more anxious, sweat beading on his forehead. “Ms. Clearwater, pleas

Percival Comes Knocking

Eulalia’s mind went blank with fright, and her phone nearly slipped from her hands and crashed to the ground.She quickly realized that there are many people with the same name in the world; this Trent might not be the one she knew.Besides, she had changed her phone number and her FB account.Eulalia didn’t dare accept the friend request, tossing her phone aside to continue with her tasks, hoping to dispel her unease.But the name "Trent" kept circling in her mind, making it impossible for her to concentrate on anything. By evening, she picked up her phone again to find that he had sent three friend requests, this time with a message.“Don’t recognize me anymore?”“Since you left Percival, would you consider me? I’m very interested in you.”There was no doubt now—it was Trent. How did he get her ID?Eulalia’s hands shook with nerves, her fingers trembling like those of someone with Parkinson's disease, the harsh light above making her eyes hurt.She finally clicked "accept."It seeme

I will Never Forgive You

“Meow~”The eight-month-old Ragdoll cat had grown to weigh about 10 kilograms. Ms. Hayak had kept its fur spotless, and those blue eyes looked super well-behaved when staring at someone.Ragdoll cats are really friendly with people. Even faced with Percival, who always looks gloomy, the cat would still come over and rub her head against him, leaving her hair all over him before sauntering away leisurely.Right now, Percival was scrolling through photos of Eulalia on his phone, and the Ragdoll cat came over to peek, jumped onto the back of the sofa, and pawed at Percival’s shoulder.Percival, who once hated pets and wouldn’t even touch them, now didn’t mind at all being stepped on by the cat. He reached out to rub the cat’s head and then turned around, hugged the cat into his arms, and pointed at Eulalia’s photo on the phone, saying, “Soon, your mom will be back.”The Ragdoll cat nuzzled the phone and gave a soft meow.---“Eulalia, stop right there!”Eulalia didn’t dare to stop. She r

That's Not My Home

“When you told me that this child was an accident and shouldn’t have come into this world, I thought it was you who shouldn’t have been born. Your mother should have killed you in her womb, or taken you with her when she died,” Eulalia’s voice was icy.“You deserve to be parentless and unloved!”Words, such potent tools, can express love deeply but can also cut sharply when used to hurt someone, like a dagger that can stab and leave a person bleeding profusely.Once deeply in love, these two now pressured each other with the most venomous words. If she had a dagger in her hand, she would not hesitate to thrust it into his chest.Percival inhaled deeply, trying to calm his chaotic emotions, but it was futile; his blood felt frozen. The repressed feelings seemed to have no outlet.Had anyone else spoken to him like that, he would have slapped them hard, the kind that could cripple or kill.The death of his parents was a wound that never healed, even after so many years. Just thinking ab

Forced Abortion

There's this saying, right? If someone truly loves you, you can't get away, unless they let you go.So, did Percival not letting her go mean he really loved her? Could love involve hurting her? Could love look at her with such cruel eyes? Could love want to kill their child?Her eyes swelled with tears because of the stress, tears streaming down her face.Percival watched her tear-stained face expressionlessly, his grip unyielding until a bodyguard injected Eulalia in the wrist. Only then did he relax a bit.Soon after the injection, Eulalia’s consciousness blurred, her limbs numbed, and she couldn’t even shout for help. Keeping her eyes open was all the strength she could muster.Percival scooped up the limp Eulalia, then instructed the bodyguard to tidy up the room inside.Eulalia's tears flowed helplessly, her voice trembling, "Let me go, Percival, please let me go..." Her voice was faint, squeezed out as if from her throat, barely audible.Her weak voice was so low, Percival almos

Engage to Me

Eulalia seemed to see a long-buried memory from the past.“Eulalia, have a child with me, or I’ll tie you to the bed...”I’m carrying your baby now. Why don’t you want it anymore?Eulalia half-closed her eyes, her pupils slightly dilated, her lashes partly covering them, casting shadows that made her eyes seem hazy.Her nail-less hands pathetically curled up, occasionally twitching. She could hardly breathe, lying there like a fish washed ashore, on the verge of death.Suddenly, something fell between her legs. In that moment, she felt her child leave her body. She didn’t know where she found the strength to hold on till the end, but she managed to murmur with dry lips, “Is it a boy or a girl?”The doctor replied a bit stiffly, “A boy.”“Can I see him?” Just moments ago, Eulalia was wailing in agony, but now her expression changed completely, calm with a hint of sparkle in her eyes.The nearest nurse, seeing this, thought it was a fleeting rally before death.Eulalia now looked so ind

She Can't Have Children Anymore

This scenario felt eerily familiar. Years ago, when Evadne was in a car accident, Eulalia had offered to donate blood, saying something very similar. “Do you really have to make demands at a time like this?” Percival’s expression suddenly turned cold and hard. Evadne met his icy gaze, swallowing involuntarily. She was fed up with feeling disheartened; she no longer cared about Percival’s opinion of her. All she wanted was the Mrs. Dunraven position. “Why could Eulalia do it, but I can’t? Percy, it’s your choice now. Either engage to me and I save Eulalia, or just watch her bleed to death.” Percival’s eyes sharpened like a hawk’s: “Are you threatening me?” His menacing look was enough to make anyone’s legs wobble. Evadne forced herself to appear calm: “Percy, this isn’t a threat. You&rsq

Make It Public

Percival’s face darkened, a gloom settling between his brows. Eulalia was suffering from stomach cancer, and in order not to affect her next treatment, to cure her disease, this child simply couldn’t be kept. He had “forcibly” tied her down for the abortion. To say it didn’t hurt him would be a lie. As a father, he had deeply wished to raise this child with Eulalia, to watch the child grow. But it wasn’t the right time for this child. Eulalia was in the operating room, and he had considered various consequences, like severe bleeding or emotional breakdown, but he hadn’t anticipated her uterus would encounter issues requiring removal. Percival glanced at his hands again, no wonder he always saw them stained with blood that no amount of washing could clean. He had killed his own child twice, and now he had deprived Eulalia of her ability to
