Alas, her hope for survival was so dim . The only thing she could do was to commit to a bet!
As the plan formed in Xinghe's mind, the drug in her body started working .
Pain shot through every part of her body, her internal organs felt like they were repeatedly stabbed by knives . The intensity of the pain slowly escalated…
Xinghe let slip of a groan before gritting her teeth to silently suffer through the pain . It was like her body was being chopped apart . The pain was more heightened compared to yesterday . Perhaps her fatigue had amplified the sensation of pain…
Xinghe clenched her teeth tightly and sweat started pouring out of her every pore . Her body shook violently and her face was scarily white .
AdvertisementAs the pain scratched at her sanity, she thought about her family, her uncle, Xia Zhi and most importantly, Lin Lin . She had to hold on for the sake of her son .
She rolled on the floor and her face was twisted in pain . However, the man might have underestimated women because it had been proven that woman's pain tolerance was greater than men's because of childbirth . The pain was greater than yesterday, but it was only slightly greater than when she gave birth to the meaning of her life .
Xinghe tightened her knuckles and slammed them repeatedly against the walls and floor, hoping the external pain would distract from the pain within . This continued until most parts of her body were bloodied and bruised .
Everyone would have sympathy watching her struggle but the man stationed outside the door observed her through the peephole coldly . There was no trace of emotion in his eyes . He was waiting for Xinghe to grovel for the sweet release of death .
The time slowly passed…
It had been two hours and Xinghe still hadn't surrendered . The man was getting impatient, he was turning away to leave Xinghe to her misery when he heard a sudden scream .
He raised his eyes into the peephole and saw Xinghe ran headfirst into the sharp angle of the bedframe . Blood oozed from her forehead and she crumpled to the floor like a lifeless doll .
"Open the door!" the man ordered .
He rushed in to check on Xinghe's vitals . She was alive but was hanging on a thread, a small pool of blood had gathered underneath her body .
Anger flashed across the man's eyes . He glared at Xinghe . "The damned woman is really unafraid of death!"
"But you think you can die on me so easily? Impossible!" He scooped up her body and strode out the room . "Call an ambulance immediately!"
One of his subordinates responded to his order .
Xinghe was quickly rushed to the hospital . Her situation was dangerous, the doctors took a long time to rescue her from the brink of death .
After the surgery, she was wheeled to a secret sickroom . Other than the few medical personnel, no one knew of her existence .
"Sir, the woman's condition has stabilized but she probably will not wake up anytime soon . She needs to stay at the hospital for a few days for further observation as her body is too weak," the doctor informed the man respectfully .
The man nodded and replied in a low voice, "I understand . Help me keep her alive and make sure her existence is kept a secret from everyone else . "
