Chapter 412

The lips were dry and peeling, but the stomach no longer felt hungry.
Consciousness was always wandering, life seemed to be losing every minute and every second.
Thinking of the baby in her belly, a strong will to survive once again sprouted in her heart.
I struggled to get up, desperately pounding on the door, crying out for
someone to come and save me.
It has been two days and two nights.
If no one had come, I might have really died here, and my baby too.
No, I didn’t want anything to happen to my baby.
Tears of helplessness kept falling down, and I knocked on the door with my last breath.
And at that moment, a faint sound of footsteps seemed to be coming from
somewhere.
I tensed up all over and listened carefully.
Dada! Dada! Dada…
It was really the sound of footsteps!
Stepping on the wooden floor, rhythmically and slowly, tapping on my nerves, one by one.
A surge of excitement suddenly rose in my heart, and I quickly knocked

on the door and shouted, “Is anyone there? Let me out, let me out…”
The footsteps grew closer and closer, then stopped at my door.

The man was outside the door, but he never opened the door in front of
I was anxious, “Who is out there… let me out, please let me out…”
I was hungry for two days and two nights, and thirsty for two days and two nights. My throat was already hoarse.
My consciousness was constantly blurred and confused, I didn’t even know how to negotiate with the people outside the door, just repeating the four words ‘let me out‘ over and over again.
After some time passed, there was finally the sound of unlocking the door from outside.
My heart trembled, and I staggered back.
The door lock kept turning, and I stared at the door handle, my wandering mind gradually returning, my nerves unconsciously tensing up.
Who could it be?
Was it the bodyguards who caught me, or the people behind the bodyguards?
Could it be Reynaldo?
No!
It shouldn’t be Reynaldo.
Even though he hated me, he had never punished me so ruthlessly.

It wasn’t him.
It must not have been him…
The door lock turned a few times, followed by a click, and the door was slowly pushed open by someone.
I sat down on the ground all of a sudden, staring blankly at the man appearing at the door.
It turns out… it’s really Reynaldo!
The man stood at the door with a cold expression on his face, holding some food and water in his hands.
He looked at me faintly, those eyes, a coldness I had never seen before.
I propped my hand on the ground, moved back, and looked at him with fear and unfamiliarity.
I knew that, because of those three unbearable years of marriage and humiliation, he had always despised me.
He often looked fierce and never showed me a good face..
Even in bed, torment and punishment always outweigh tenderness and sweetness.
But deep down in my subconscious, I just felt that he wouldn’t really want to take my life.
But this time, I changed my mind.
This time, I felt so close to death that I even saw indifference and murderous intent in his eyes.
This time, it seemed like he really wanted to kill me.

He glanced at me for a while, then looked away and walked in expressionlessly
I turned around to look at him with great effort.
He placed the food and water on the small table by the window, then sat
in the chair, lit a cigarette with a blank expression, and smoked quietly.
