Chapter 8: Was That You?
There was a knock at the door.
The housekeeper stood at the door with his head bowed and reported, "Miss Xu called just now and said that she had something to do with you. ”
Fu Xichen was just about to get up, but found that the corners of his clothes were caught.
The man lying on the bed was curled up on his legs, not saying a word, but his hands were clutching the corners of his clothes.
His brow furrowed slightly, "I'll be back soon." ”
The corners of his clothes were pulled out, and he left barely stopping.
Looking at the back of him leaving, it suddenly overlapped with the scenes in his memory.
After she forced the marriage to be completed, she tried to ease the relationship countless times, and tried countless times to improve and coordinate, but every time she watched him be called away by a phone call.
Xu Ruoya's weight has always been heavier than her.
If I had recognized this fact earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been so tired, and maybe I wouldn't have ruined my current home.
"Miss Ji."
The butler didn't know when he came in, still holding a tray in his hand.
"Sir, I told you to eat as much as you want." The hot meal was placed in front of me, and the familiar taste came up one by one.
A bowl of white rice porridge and a stack of side dishes.
Ji Nuo's pupils contracted a few times, and he subconsciously sat back with his legs in his arms, only to hold back his fear and not knock over directly.
I don't know if it's intentional or not.
This time, the dish was the same as the food she ate after the miscarriage, and those suppressed memories swept again, like an undertide, completely eroding reason.
"I don't eat it!"
Zino's throat was dry and painful, and he held a pillow casually, his body curled up very tightly.
That's the posture of protecting yourself when you are beaten, and only in this posture will you be slightly lighter.
The butler was still holding the plate, and his voice did not change, "This is the order of the gentleman, Miss Ji." ”
"Don't eat, I said I won't eat!" The deepest fear was hooked, and Zino hugged the pillow tightly, against his abdomen, "Take it." ”
finally forced herself to forget those for the time being, but the familiar atmosphere and familiar things were crushing her heart little by little.
"Yes."
The butler was not reluctant, took the tray away, the smell dissipated, and the room was quiet again.
The furnishings in the house were the same as they were before she was sent to prison, and even the location had not changed.
In the corner on the far right, there is still a relatively large photo frame, which is their wedding photo, which has never been hung up, placed in the same position, and has not moved.
At that time, she was still immersed in the joy of getting married, and she didn't notice the men around her at all, and they didn't have the same joy.
"Husband, let's hang the wedding photo in the house, right in the center, waiting for the baby, and then hang the baby's photo between the two of us."
"You say, if you give birth to a boy, it won't be very noisy, but I still like girls, and twins are okay."
It seems to have gone back to that time.
The whole room was filled with her joyful voice, and the person she was holding was expressionless, thinking that he was not very happy to be forced to marry, but he didn't expect that it would bring ruin.
I thought that during this time in prison, it was enough to calm my mood and not fluctuate.
But I didn't expect that when she saw these familiar things, she would still be irritable and depressed, and those memories seemed to be lingering her nerves over and over again.
Propping up his body, he picked up the photo frame, and the festive wedding photos on it pierced his eyes.
At that time, she was not familiar with the world, and she smiled brightly at the camera, but the person holding her had no expression.
Zino's hand tightened, his hand loosened, and the relatively large picture frame smashed to the ground.
The glass shattered all over the ground, and even some splashed on the side of her ankle, but there was no reaction or touch.
Such a movement attracted the attention of outsiders.
The housekeeper frowned and came in, "Miss Ji, has something happened?" ”
Hearing such a voice, Zino just looked up, very calm, "It's nothing, I don't need anyone to help." ”
Her ankle had been punctured by glass shard, and some tiny beads of blood were oozing out, but she didn't seem to be aware of anything.
The housekeeper's brows furrowed even more, and he still said with a straight look: "You are injured, I will call the doctor, and the gentleman said that he will be back in a while, and I don't want to see you have any problems before that." ”
This kind of timbre made Zino's eyes darken a few times.
Stepping over those glass shards, as if he didn't feel any pain, he stopped a few steps away from the butler and looked at him, "Were you there when you had a miscarriage?" ”
Because it hurt so much, she couldn't notice if it was him, the dismembered little arms and legs kept stimulating her nerves, and she almost fainted when she heard such movements.
Was it really Fu Xichen who sent him to abort the child?
"I don't know what you're talking about, everyone needs to do what the gentleman tells you to do." ”
He didn't admit that he was there that day, but he didn't deny that it wasn't Fu Xichen's request.
This answer, however, was cleverly answered, avoiding all the main points and just saying something inconsequential.
She knew that she would not come up with any answers, and she had long lost the tenacity and impulse she had at the beginning, and the more she experienced, the more timid she became, for fear of hearing the answers she didn't want to hear, for fear of being stimulated again.
I just want to find a quiet place to hide, and I don't care about anything, and I don't listen to anything.
"Okay, it's okay." The soles of my feet hurt from being pricked, but I couldn't withstand the depression in my heart.
She turned and sat back on the bed, stunned like a doll that couldn't speak, motionless.
The butler quickly turned and went out, got a few doctors in, treated her wounds, and then stood to the side with his head down, waiting for orders.
"Is my mom okay?"
In the process of treating the wound, she didn't say a word, but suddenly raised her head, looked at the butler on the side, and asked.
The housekeeper remained silent, "Miss Ji, I don't know. ”
From the mouthkeeper's mouth, there is basically no news, he has been working in the Fu family for many years, and he has long learned to restrain his emotions, and he is even more meticulous in his work.
"Call me, I'm calling."
Zino didn't expect to get any news from his mouth, and still said in a hoarse voice.
Until his feet were bandaged, Xiu's eyebrows didn't wrinkle, but she looked at him with very quiet and calm eyes.
When this request was mentioned, the housekeeper hesitated.
"Is it possible to apply even by phone?" Every word of Zino spread slowly from his throat, and his face was pale without the slightest bit of vitality.
The eyes were down, and it was very quiet.
It's the same as being in prison, curled up alone in a corner, and you don't need any sunlight or comfort.
