Madam, the CEO Regrets It (Abby and Jason) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The ten-minute journey back to the villa took her twenty minutes. There was no heating in the villa, and the big room was deadly cold.

She kicked off her high-heeled shoes and staggered into the bathroom as if she was drunk. She turned on the hot water in the bathtub, and then fell into the bathtub like a dead person. Her whole boday was silently lying in the bathtub as hot water gradually was falling down and her red dress covered the entire bathtub, like blood spreading, making Abby's face as pale as paper.

She closed her eyes, and her face sank into the water. The water gradually overflowed her head and sealed all her senses. A short asphyxiation paralyzed her heart. After a while, she could not help but open her mouth, making water entered her mouth, and a sense of nausea came out of her stomach.

Abby opened her red eyes and poked her head out of the water. She was leaning against the bathtub,while her stomach seemed to be grasped by a hand. She opened her mouth numbly, but had nothing to vomit but some yellow acid liquid from her empty stomach when her upper body twitched uncontrollably. Her throat was sore and her tears could not stop falling down.

Abby rubbed her sour eyes and looked at the blood in the mucus on the ground. The corners of her mouth pulled up slightly, showing a plastic smile on her face where her eyes were full of despair and desolation.

She took off her red dress and wiped the bloodstain on the ground. She couldn't let Jason see the blood.

It was getting dark outside. Abby went back to her bedroom barefoot and fell into bed. She couldn't sleep. Before when she didn't know she got sick, she could still dream about the future. Now, no matter how hard she tried, it would be in vain.

Four years had witnessed how she lost herself, from full of love to hopelessness.

On this day, she seemed to have shed all her tears in her life. Abby put her hand on her heart and sneered bitterly: It was the stomach that was ill. Why did my heart hurt so much?

The mobile phone in the bag suddenly vibrated. Abby reflexively stood up, opened the bag as quickly as possible, and catched the mobile phone. When she saw the incoming message on the screen, she seemed to have taken off all her strength.

Not him… Abby, what were you expecting?

Abby stared at her mobile phone for two seconds and then answered the phone.

"Mog Quain." Abby's voice was very hoarse. It was like the blade of a knife rubbing the grindstone.

Mog Quain was her childhood friend growing up with her. They were not relatives, but they were more than relatives. When she was a child, she lived in the Quain family for a long time. For Abby, Mog was her brother.

On the phone, Mog asked worriedly: "Abby, why is your voice so dumb? Are you sick?"

"I have a cold. I just wake up and my voice was a little hoarse…"

Before Abby finished, Mog on the phone interrupted her, "Abby, do you want to lie to me? Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor? I can still distinguish between the sound when you wake up and the sound after crying."

Her throat tightened and she couldn't say a word of explanation, and finally laughed bitterly.

Mog asked, "can you tell me why you cry?"

Abby held her mobile phone and stared at the wooden floor. No one liked to show their weakest part. She shook her head and refused, "no."

Mog was stunned. He knew Abby's character a lot. She was so stubborn that no one could let her tell what she thought when she was not willing to speak.

Mog could only change the topic: "What was the result of the medical report ?"
