Venus’ s stares were blank, “My brother is there.”
John was a little numb and explained, “Young lady, you mistake it. Your brother is not in the lake. Let’s go back.” Then he and the maid dragged her to the shore.
“Brother, I want to go find my brother.” Venus struggled, but they didn’t let her go. No matter how Venus struggled, they tried their best to hold her. until Venus was taken back, the two of them were wet all over.
Mrs. Qin also ran over at this time, and seeing this, she knew what she said to her was in vain. She was still determined to die.
“John, give young lady to us.” Mrs. Qin went over to help Venus up. What she needed most now was a hot bath, otherwise she would definitely catch a cold.
A pregnant woman with a cold was very troublesome, for she couldn’t take any medicine. She could only rely on herself to recover, but with Venus’s feeble body, she probably wouldn’t be able to go through it.
Mrs. Qin and the maid carried Venus to the bathroom, quickly taking off her wet clothes and opening the shower head.
“Bring the stool to me.” Mrs. Qin said to the maid.
The maid moved swiftly and Mrs. Qin made Venus sit down.
“Mrs. Qin, wouldn’t it be better to put young lady in the bathtub? Why?” The maid was puzzled.
Mrs. Qin glanced at her, “She’ s pregnant now. Taking a bath is not good for the baby.”
Ten minutes later, Mrs. Qin found that Venus’s leg was not cold. Then she turned off the hot water and dried her body with a bath towel.
“Mrs. Qin, why don’t you just let me die.” Venus lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She could have almost reunited with her mom, dad and brother. Why did they stop her?
Mrs. Qin looked at her helplessly, not knowing how to comfort her.
“Leave me alone. I’m tired.” Venus rolled over and turned her back to them.
The huge shadow had completely enveloped her, but she didn’t want to break through the darkness, for she didn’t have any strength left.
Kerry drove home in a hurry after receiving a call from John.
“How’s Venus?” Kerry asked anxiously as soon as he got out of the car.
“She’s in her room.”
Kerry strode upstairs to the bedroom, only to see Venus asleep.
He breathed in relief and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her face with concentration and affection.
On the way back, his heart was clutched tightly by a pair of hands, and every breath he took carried piercing pain. He had run countless red lights and even almost had a car accident. He couldn’t believe that Venus was still doing something so decisive after so many days of peace. Kerry began to wonder if he really was too selfish to not let her go. But if he kept making her stay here, he would completely lose her.
He had always thought that time could heal any hurt, and even if it couldn’t, he would let her return to the normal life, but he was wrong.
To let her go? What about the baby? This was his first baby and how could he allow it to live with no father?
But if he didn’t let her go, her life would be consumed little by little in this villa, which was not he wanted. he didn’t want her to die.
Venus, you used to be so strong and unconquerable. You knew what, I’d rather you yell at me every day, even if you were trying every possible way to get revenge on me, than for you to be so quiet as a puppet.
Kerry fondled her face and it had been a long time for him to look at her so closely.
“Venus, you look much better.” Doctor Han approached her with a gentle smile.
Venus looked back at him and said softly, “Dr. Han, I know your’ re lying.”
“You can actually find that I’m joking?” Dr. Han continued, “You really are the most tough person I’ve ever met, and I can’t remember how many times I’ve saved your life.”
“I don’t remember either.” Venus’s eyes fell on the distant swimming pool. She remembered the time when she was teased by Kerry into jumping into the swimming pool for a pen in order to ask him to lend her a million, but she ended up almost drowning and that time it was Dr. Han who saved her.
Looking back now, she didn’t believe that she could make it.
If she’d known that so much would happen after that, she would have given in to her fate and just drowned in the pool. Maybe her brother wouldn’t have died.
“Venus, this is my friend, do you want to talk to her?” Dr. Han said cautiously.
Without lifting her eyelids, Venus said indifferently, “What do you want to talk about?”
Dr. Yan sat down on the couch across from her with a smile, “Anything you want. I’m a good listener.”
“But I don’t have anything I want to say,” Venus stopped and turned her head to look at Dr. Yan, “Perhaps you can tell me how to die without being stopped.”
Dr. Yan was dumbfounded for a few seconds, for she had never seen a patient ask such a question on their first meeting. She could sense her despair and misanthropy.
Last night, Dr. Han had told her everything she needed to know about Venus. She marveled at her strength while felt sorry for her.
