“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”


  I frantically apologized, but I had no idea whom I was apologizing to.

  To that pitiful and innocent little life in my belly?

  Or was it to the floor of the bathroom.

  I wiped the floor in pain, but the moment I wiped it clean it got stained afresh. I took more toilet paper and started wiping again. The greater my movements, the greater my abdomen hurt!

  I clutched my clothes tightly, not daring to take off my pants or face the strange condition of my body. I wanted to call Han Xiao, but I was afraid that she would see me in such a sorry state.

  At that point, the entire world was spinning and everything became blurry and unfamiliar.

  I struggled to get up from the ground, but I was in so much pain that I fell to my knees again. My body curled up like a shrimp, and I started shivering. I suddenly felt cold!

  The cold spread throughout my body.

  Han Xiao suddenly knocked on the door.

  “Xiachun, how are you? Are you done? My parents are coming home soon!”


  “I… I’m not done yet…”


  I suddenly said in a sobbing tone, “Han Xiao… I’m sorry. I… I think I dirtied the bathroom. I’ll clean it… I’ll clean it before opening the door.”


  Han Xiao froze for a moment before trying to open the door. “Is there a lot of blood? Xiachun! Open the door! Open the door first!”


  However, I didn’t dare to open the door. I was afraid that if Han Xiao walked in, she would think of me as an abomination.

  After a while, Han Xiao stopped banging on the door and left in a hurry. Then, I vaguely heard the footsteps of two people outside the door.

  “Eh? Xiao Xiao, where’s your classmate?”


  “In… in the bathroom!”


  “Okay!”


  I thought, her parents must have come home, but there’s no way I could open the door. I hadn’t even cleaned up the bathroom.

  I supported myself against the wall and stood up. But in that time, a pool of blood had accumulated on the ground.

  My lips trembled as I tried to retrieve a clean tissue. However, the more I panicked, the messier it got. I forced myself to lean against the wall and blacked out for a moment.

  When I opened my eyes again, I heard Han Xiao banging on the door in panic.

  “Xiachun! Xiachun! Open the door!”


  “Xiao Xiao, why is your classmate inside for so long? Is she unwell?”


  “Dad, Mom, go back to your room! I’ll take good care of her!”


  “This…”


  I lost consciousness again.

  When I came to, I heard the sound of something slamming against the door.

  Su Qi’s anxious voice could be heard from outside. “She’s been inside for so long and hasn’t responded. Something must have happened! Why did you take so long to call me?!”


  “I… I didn’t know…”


  “Move aside! I’ll have to break the door down!”


  I croaked, “Don’t break the door…”


  Just as I was reaching out, the door flew open with a crash as Su Qi kicked it open.

  He dashed in only to see me leaning against the wall in a daze. His confused gaze was filled with panic and helplessness.

  “Xiachun! What going on with you?!”


  Han Xiao was terrified to see me in such a pathetic state and her eyes turned red immediately. “Send her to the hospital! Hurry!”


  “What happened!?” Su Qi questioned in a low voice. “How did she end up like this!?”


  “Su Qi, stop asking. Hurry up and send her to the hospital!”


  Su Qi bent over and put one arm around my shoulder and the other under my knees. Scooping me up from the ground, he said gently, “Don’t be afraid, Xiachun. I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”
