Su Lin stirred awake but she instantly closed her eyes. She made sure not to let it show that her consciousness had returned.
What happened? Did they drug me?
She could feel the weight of her belly pressing down her bladder and for someone like her, it only took her a second to discern the condition of her body.
But the more she realized what happened, the more her heart sank.
She was all alone in this room. Her hands were not tied. Her feet were not tied, but she had no doubt that she had been a prisoner in this room for all this time.
But why? What happened to Luther? She just couldn't understand.
The knot on her body's core was also throbbing painfully.
She had focussed all the qi she had in her body in that spot and she did not tend to it for so long, it was so painful as if her entire body was going to burst open at any second.
But Su Lin couldn't care less about that right now. All her mind was on the man whom she loved. By heaven's grace, the baby inside her seemed to be fine, but Luther…
Where was he?
A single tear leaked outside Su Lin's eyes as she was unable to bear the many thoughts running in her mind.
It was no coincidence that she and her baby were safe right now. They needed her to give birth and only after that her fate would come to fruition.
But why would they do all this? Weren't they from the same family? His parents loved Luther.
Su Lin had no doubt about that. Every time they looked at him, it was always full of love and affection and yet somehow things turned out like this?
No matter how much she thought about things, she just couldn't understand. Where did it all go wrong? Why did everything turn out like this?
Weren't they fine?
But out of nowhere, their entire lives were turned upside down?
Why? She just couldn't understand their actions.
These people were Luther's own flesh and blood. She would have understood if they tried to do something to her, but what did they do to Luther?
Because if he was fine, he would have never let this happen to her.
They had somehow achieved the impossible and used a drug that even she wasn't able to sense. They had drugged her continuously for so long.
And where was Luther all this time?
More and more tears welled up in Su Lin's eyes.
The guard who was watching her was being paid millions so he quickly noticed even this small change.
He got up from his chair to inform Ella who wasn't that far away. "Oh, maybe her body started getting used to the drug."
Just like Su Lin, she also had some spirit qi, albeit very little, so she was well aware that someone like Su Lin only needed a few seconds to gain consciousness.
Hence, she instantly rushed over to salvage the situation.
However, she still had vastly underestimated, Su Lin's abilities, before she could reach the room, Su Lin was already up, groaning in pain.
"Slowly, slowly." Ella walked in. She had a gentle smile on her face as she gazed at the big bulging stomach. "Luther is just outside. He will be here soon." She explained.
Su Lin as well weakly nodded, but she tried to get up, stumbling and falling on Ella.
Her full weight fell on the elder and Su Lin also iron gripped the woman's hand for support, sending a sharp pulse of pain.
"Ah!" A gasp slipped out of Ella's mouth as two of the guards came forward and helped both the elder and the pregnant woman to stabilize.
They helped Su Lin sit down. She seemed to be in a lot of pain. Even Ella looked a little worried.
However, Su Lin bit her lips, bore the pain, and looked up to ask, "Is Luther coming?"
She already knew the answer but she hoped…
"Yes. Yes. He is very close." Ella tried to explain, but the look on her face was answer enough for Su Lin.
Suddenly, she stood up. There was no longer any trace of weakness or pain on her face. "What are you doing?"
Before anyone could understand what was happening, a sharp cutting sound echoed as something slashed across. There was blood everywhere.
First, Su Lin screamed and then looking at the blood spilled everywhere, Ella screamed. "WHAT DID YOU DO!!! YOU CRAZY WOMAN!"
Su Lin had actually cut herself open. The pregnant woman had cut open her own body performing a C-section on herself when she was standing!
Ella felt her head spin as her heart ached for the baby.
"NO! NO! Don't harm my child." She tried to use her spirit qi to do something but she was far too shocked and panicked.
Even if she had a clear head, she absolutely had no idea what to do now. Any move she made now could be fatal to the child and/ or the mother.
While she couldn't care less about the mother, that child was everything for her. She had sacrificed so much for that child.
She had sacrificed everything for that child.
Ella begged Su Lin, "Please. Please. Don't do anything. Luther is coming. Please trust me. He is right outside."
But Su Lin only smiled. There was no trace of kindness on her face. Her hands magically weaved as she took out the baby in her womb all on her own.
The small baby looked tiny as it was still not due yet.
It cooed as if it was in pain and Ella felt as if she was going to go crazy. This was her grandson.
"NO. NO. NO." She cried and tried to go near the child but Su Lin heartlessly pushed her away.
Seeing this, Ella no longer remained silent. "What are you all waiting for! KILL THIS BITCH!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, the anger in her heart erupting like a volcano.
