âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry!â
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.
âXiachun, how are you? Are you done? My parents are coming home soon!â
âI⦠Iâm not done yetâ¦â
I suddenly said in a sobbing tone, âHan Xiao⦠Iâm sorry. I⦠I think I dirtied the bathroom. Iâll clean it⦠Iâll clean it before opening the door.â
Han Xiao froze for a moment before trying to open the door. âIs there a lot of blood? Xiachun! Open the door! Open the door first!â
However, I didnât 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.
âEh? Xiao Xiao, whereâs your classmate?â
âIn⦠in the bathroom!â
âOkay!â
I thought, her parents must have come home, but thereâs no way I could open the door. I hadnât 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.
âXiachun! Xiachun! Open the door!â
âXiao Xiao, why is your classmate inside for so long? Is she unwell?â
âDad, Mom, go back to your room! Iâll take good care of her!â
âThisâ¦â
I lost consciousness again.
When I came to, I heard the sound of something slamming against the door.
Su Qiâs anxious voice could be heard from outside. âSheâs been inside for so long and hasnât responded. Something must have happened! Why did you take so long to call me?!â
âI⦠I didnât knowâ¦â
âMove aside! Iâll have to break the door down!â
I croaked, âDonât break the doorâ¦â
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.
âXiachun! What going on with you?!â
Han Xiao was terrified to see me in such a pathetic state and her eyes turned red immediately. âSend her to the hospital! Hurry!â
âWhat happened!?â Su Qi questioned in a low voice. âHow did she end up like this!?â
âSu Qi, stop asking. Hurry up and send her to the hospital!â
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, âDonât be afraid, Xiachun. Iâll take you to the hospital right away!â
