Oh crap. She just been made infertile by MY. Poor MC. Hope it can be cure...
ReplyDeleteOh my lord. I knew it. I knew she wasn't going to be able to get pregnant again. T^T And yeah.. MY.... doing the deed without her consent, how many times? One time was already too much... And him asking himself where his desire stems from?? WONDERING IF HE EVER LOVED HER BEFORE?? BRUH! You're in love with her still 2;fs;alhai sj;sdkj MY doesn't know how to love. Every action of his is just acting. sigh
ReplyDeleteAnd KQ... girl... she knew she put too much but and yet she still let it go? I would have been like "Wait, I think a fly flew into her food! We need to make more." Or something like *trips on Wei Wei to make her drop the food* "I'm so sorry!"
AND AND ZC had trouble eating food, and yet she still digested too much? That means that meds were strong and really really lethal. And this is where the trust breaks huh? Where she stops believing him and his "other plans" that he refuses to share with anyone. I kinda understand he needed to be tight lipped to live and grow up, but stillllll. Can't take his own damn advice. "if you have something to say, just say it" Say that right back inn your face MY.
But, I see. the other docs are dead huh? Did they confess anything before they died? Or did they take it to their grave hmm? But I see. He wants the 'queen' to have a baby first. And everything was going according to plan, until JB aborted the baby. LOL Since MY doesn't know everything. PFT
Wonder what MY's going to think... How's he going to act hmm?
Many thanks
ZC so pissed now!! Woohoo! Read this for about 2-3 times just to feel the full power of angst. Cant wait for the next chapter!!!!!
ReplyDeleteZC is an idiot but honestly this is just a bad life. Nothing she can do
ReplyDeleteShe’s been injured,sick,cold and starving this entire novel. At this point the author could have her naturally die in her sleep within the next few chapters and I’d be like - yeah that checks out
