At 8 PM, I returned home. As soon as I stepped through the door, Xavion called out for me to make dinner.
I ignored him and walked straight to my room.
He grabbed me, blocking my path. "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"
I shook off his hand, but the movement pulled at my wound, causing me to suck in a sharp breath from the pain.
"Xavion, don't you dare push me!" I clutched my stomach, gritting my teeth.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xavion furrowed his brow, reaching out to support me.
"Don't touch me!" I shoved him away, glaring at him coldly.
"Jade, what's the matter? Are you not feeling well?" Suddenly, Melody popped up, her face full of concern.
Her words made Xavion withdraw the hand he had just extended.
I shot her a vicious glare.
This bitch, she's such a good actress!
"It's nothing, I'm just a bit tired," I said coldly.
"Then you should go rest. I'll make dinner," Melody immediately offered.
Xavion, who was about to express concern for me, swallowed his words. He glanced at me and said, "Look at you, pregnant and useless, always causing trouble! Melody is so considerate, you should learn from her!"
I trembled with anger. This bastard, how dare he speak to me like this in front of others!"Melody's so understanding because she's slept with you so many times, what's one more meal?" I couldn't help but sneer.
"Smack!"
Xavion slapped me hard across the face. I stumbled, crashing into the coffee table.
"Ah!" I cried out in pain, clutching my stomach.
Everyone in the room was startled. Melody was so frightened she hid behind Xavion.
Xavion grabbed me and dragged me in front of Melody. "Apologize!"
I glared at Melody, sneering, "Why should I apologize? Isn't what I said the truth?"
"Waaah... Xavion, I won't come over anymore. Don't make her apologize to me..." Melody suddenly ran out crying.
Xavion hurried after her, but not before warning me, "If anything happens to her, I won't let you off the hook!"
Holding my stomach, I watched their retreating figures, finding it all darkly amusing.
This bastard, treating me like this for some outsider!
Fighting through the pain, I found some gauze and medicine to quickly patch up my wound.
Then I put the glass bottle in the study before getting ready for bed.
In the middle of the night, I got up to close the window and saw Melody running out into the rain, crying.Xavion grabbed her, and then... they passionately kissed in the rain!
I felt my stomach acid churning, and I quickly rushed to the bathroom, hunching over the toilet to vomit violently.
I threw up until I was completely drained, then ached until I was utterly exhausted, finally passing out next to the toilet.
In the dead of night, I hazily felt someone pick me up, place me on the bed, and even tuck me in, carefully arranging the blanket corners.
I wanted to escape, but I had no strength left.
In my foggy state, I began to dream.
I dreamed that Xavion was massaging my legs. He gazed at me tenderly and said, "Jade, your legs are so beautiful, long and slender. I love them the most."
Then, the scene shifted, and I saw him getting intimate with Melody, doing the things we used to do.
I dreamed that I was pregnant, and he was overjoyed, hugging me and saying, "Jade, you're finally pregnant! I'm going to be a dad!"
But in the next moment, he was holding Melody in his arms, saying, "Melody, why don't you have a baby for me too? I love children."
