Chapter 438 – She Is His Medicine
Her eyes were scarlet at the ends, and she struggled to straighten up, fuming and biting down on Bowen Carter’s shoulder, not letting go until her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
What is this?
He can misunderstand her if he wants to, humiliate her if he wants to, make up with her if he wants to, whatever he wants, right?
Was she a plaything in his mind, to come and go as he pleased?
Suddenly, a coolness came over his shoulder.
He paused in his movements and pushed Tess Baker away before realizing … she was crying.
Bowen Carter no longer had a heart, it was heartbreaking, coursing through his blood, spreading a little all over his body as if millions of ants were gnawing at him.
Does she … hate him that much?
Bowen Carter looked at the insane hatred in Tess Baker’s eyes, a bitter look between his teeth, “Tess Baker …”
“Get out!” Tess Baker interrupted shrilly, her voice breaking from over-elevation, “You get out!”
“… I’m sorry.” Bowen Carter had a bunch of things to say, but only three words ended up coming out of her furious glare.
Tess Baker, legs together and clutching her knees, stared him dead in the face, the hatred in her eyes almost frozen into substance.
A flood of pain shot through Bowen Carter’s heart, and he opened his mouth but said nothing. He gave her a deep look, stepped out of the bath, picked up his already half-wet clothes from the floor, and headed for the door.
He paused as he gripped the doorknob, “The clothes are already wet, don’t wear them, I’ll bring you a set of pajamas later.”
“Out, go!” Tess Baker gritted her teeth.
Bowen Carter’s fists unconsciously tightened and unclenched, then turned the doorknob and stepped out.
The moment the door closed, Tess Baker let go of her knees and slid her body into the bath. The water spread over her collarbone, over her mouth and nose, and finally enveloped her entire body in water.
A trail of bubbles rose from the bath.
She closed her eyes, wanting to die in this moment.
Die. It won’t be so painful, and you won’t have to deal with so many bad things after you die!
Tess Baker could swim, and swim well, but she wasn’t shutting down at the moment, she was breathing as she usually did.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
The water went down her mouth and nose, and there was no oxygen left in her lungs, and the severe lack of oxygen made her red in the face and gold stars in front of her eyes, making it extremely difficult.
Her body’s instincts called to her to rush out, but she gritted her teeth and resisted the desire to rush out, lying firmly under the water.
Hold on just a little longer, just a little while harder, and she would be relieved forever, no longer having to fear being sent to prison or humiliatingly begging Bowen Carter on her knees to believe her … no longer having to deal with all those things she hated!
“Mommy, don’t you want me and my sister?”
“Don’t you leave me and my sister, Mommy, there’s no one to protect us if you go!”
“Mommy, please, don’t leave me and my sister!”
The little one’s voice snapped in Tess Baker’s head, accompanied by the cries of the ugly baba’s daughter who hadn’t been born for more than a few days.
Tess Baker opened her eyes, grabbed the sides of the bath with both hands, and lurched out of the water, covering her neck and coughing violently.
If she dies, it’s all over, but what about the two kids?
One of them was not even five years old and the other was only a few days old, what if someone bullied them if she left them to die?
Bang!
“Tess Baker!” snapped Bowen Carter as he pushed the door and rushed in, draped in a nightgown that he hadn’t had time to fasten the straps of his pajama bottoms before he came in bare-chested.
Seeing Tess Baker coughing his face red, he panicked and ran to her, slipping on his feet and even almost falling on the ground due to his speed.
“Well? Where did you get sick? Are you better now?” He bent over and snapped sharply, patting her back gently.
Tess Baker dodged his touch and looked at him coldly, “Get out,”
“I’ll call your doctor …”
“Get out!”
Bowen Carter didn’t know where to put his hands and feet, and looked at her for a moment in bemusement, “I’m going out, so don’t be angry.”
He wanted to say something else, but under her disgusted gaze, he ended up saying nothing and turned around and walked out the door, his back extraordinarily despondent.
Tess Baker took a bath towel and scrubbed hard where he had touched her, she used most of the bottle of body wash and didn’t stop when she scrubbed her skin to the point of breaking the skin.
The shower gel touched the broken skin and it hurt so much that she kept sucking in cold air.
But even so, she gritted her teeth and washed for over an hour.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the bathroom door.
Tess Baker rinsed her body without expression, not saying a word.
The doorknob turned a few times, and the person outside seemed to run out of patience and tried to push his way in.
