You also have something to tell me too, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After thinking, I did say that I&#8217;ll tell him why I married Frances before. In the end, I haven&#8217;t tell him about it until now.<\/p>\n<p>I put my phone on the side after replying a yes to Steven.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a knock on the door. It&#8217;s not from the entrance, but from the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, it must be Frances.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just that I&#8217;m not used to him knocking the door!<\/p>\n<p>I curl my lips and tell him to enter the room.<\/p>\n<p>Frances opens the bathroom door and enters the room. He goes straight to the bedside and hugs me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m so surprised, my body becomes stiff too.<\/p>\n<p>As long as Frances gets closer to me, I just can&#8217;t control my body and feelings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you doing, Frances?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m struggling to push him away.<\/p>\n<p>But regardless of how many times I try to do so, it&#8217;s futile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJane, sorry. I know you love children, but I am sorry I made you lose the child. Let&#8217;s have a child to make up for your sorrows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I raise my head and see him staring at me sincerely.<\/p>\n<p>But I truly feel ridiculed. Is it even possible to make up the sorrow of losing my child?<\/p>\n<p>Ruining that child means that he ruins me too.<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m thinking, Frances kisses me<\/p>\n<p>His tongue pries open my lips, lingering between my lips and teeth.<\/p>\n<p>He also hugs my body so tightly.<\/p>\n<p>He makes my body feel so painful and my heart hurts even more.<\/p>\n<p>His touch makes me feel disgusted.<\/p>\n<p>I grit my teeth and bite him harshly.<\/p>\n<p>Frances lets me go because of the pain. I look at his lips and there&#8217;s fresh blood dripping down.<\/p>\n<p>Even the flesh of his lips can be seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur&#8230; child?\u201d Frances stares at me blankly, he looks even more puzzled than before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou&#8217;re saying that the child you gave birth to&#8230; Was our child?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s so good at pretending!<\/p>\n<p>If I didn&#8217;t hear what Hamlin said before, I would think that Frances&#8217; expression is real right now.<\/p>\n<p>I sneer and glare at him as I say, \u201cFrances, can you stop pretending already?! You make me feel more disgusted!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChild, our child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To my surprise, Frances actually looks happy.<\/p>\n<p>I even see happy tears flickering in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in a daze as I start to wonder whether the person in front of me is really Frances or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell me, where&#8217;s our child now? Where is he?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He holds my shoulders in excitement. He&#8217;s even very cautious when making expressions as he talks.<\/p>\n<p>He makes me feel really disgusted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough, Frances. You already killed our child! You sent Hamlin to Prague to end our child&#8217;s life and now you&#8217;re still acting in front of me&#8230; You really think that I&#8217;m a fool?!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-353","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
