Chapter 3: Collecting Some Interest First
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“That fat bitch actually didn’t die, she is one lucky bastard!”
A vicious feminine voice was accompanied by the slamming of the door.
While looking at herself in the mirror, Abigail shivered, a reflex from her previous life instincts.
It was evident how deep her fear for Ruby and her mother was; despite being dead, her body was still fearful.
In the mirror, the corner of Abigail’s lips curled up into a cold smile.
Since they door-stepped her, she decided to start collecting some interest.
“Wow! You’re looking at yourself in the mirror? Aren’t you afraid the sight of your jiggle will nauseate you? Oh, I see, you can use it to lose weight!” Ruby sneered at Abigail with her arms crossed over her chest.
Abigail lowered her head to hide the cold and harsh light in her eyes, her body trembled slightly, “Ruby….how could you…”
“And, how should I treat you then? Fat sow, I’m warning you. Pei already took the child away. You better keep your mouth shut like you’re dead.” Ruby knew Abigail was not dead and had especially come to warn her.
“But…..can I see my child? After all, I carried it for ten months and gave birth…” Abigail’s voice involuntarily broke. This was not what she wanted to ask, but the body’s instinctual urge.
This body wanted to see its child.
“What do you mean by ‘your child’?” Ruby glared furiously, looking venomously at Abigail. “Let me warn you again, I carried the child for ten months and gave birth. If you spill the beans, I have a hundred ways to kill you.”
Immediately after her piece, her palm swung towards Abigail’s face.
Abigail dodged it just in time by lowering her head. She bent down slightly and nodded, “What you promised me earlier….”
“If you behave, I will consider.” Seeing the trembling and foolish Abigail, Ruby thought it was just a fluke. She answered arrogantly.
Seeing how accepted Abigail was, the contempt in Ruby’s eyes deepened. That’s when Rose walked in, “News have been passed to him. Once the results of the DNA test come out, I believe Pei will come very soon.”
“Really?” Ruby’s face lit up with excitement, instantly eradicating her former viciousness.
“Of course, you have to trust mom.” Rose said, looking hugely pleased with herself.
Ruby no longer paid attention to Abigail and turned to leave.
Seizing the opportunity, Abigail swiftly threw a thin needle, that landed accurately on Ruby’s knee nerve.
“Ah!” Ruby, who was just about to walk through the door, felt numbness in her knee and fell headfirst onto the ground. In panic, she tugged at Rose’s high-heeled foot.
Rose tried to help her daughter, but she slipped and fell too.
Both of them hit the floor hard, grimacing in pain. They barely collected themselves when they saw the atypically worried Abigail rushing towards them, yelling, “Ruby, Rose….”
Then, because she was too fat, she couldn’t hold them back and instead fell heavily onto them.
Accompanied by a “No,” there was a chilling wail!
Abigail’s fat body landed heavily on Ruby’s slender leg, and while she got busy trying to stand up, she had to sit down again due to her weight.
The sound of a bone breaking.
“Ahhh, you fat bitch, I am going to kill you…”Ruby screamed in pain again!
“You dumb sow, I’m going to kill you!” Ruby’s mother, Rose, underneath her, was also writhing in pain.
Abigail again tried to get up in panic but had to sit down again due to her weight, “I’m sorry Ruby, I’m sorry Rose……”
“Ahhh Doctor, Doctor…”
Even after both mother and daughter were carried away by the doctors, Abigail was obediently apologizing while keeping her head down. No one noticed the subtle hint of a cheeky smile in her eyes which disappeared in a flash.
It was merely a fracture, just an interest she cashed in. The real drama was only just beginning.
