Chapter 411

They didn’t even give me anything to eat or drink. I felt as if I had been completely forgotten in this small space. Or maybe they wanted to punish me on purpose, leaving me here to fend for myself.

I curled up weakly in bed, and the fear in my heart kept growing. I wouldn’t really starve to death here, would I? And my baby… What should I do with my baby? I touched my slightly bulging belly, and tears of sadness flowed down uncontrollably.

Through tear-filled eyes, I saw the large French window, and my gaze couldn’t help but darken. No way! I couldn’t let myself and the baby starve to death like this. There must be a way to save myself, I must escape!

I struggled to get out of bed and walked unsteadily towards the window. This is the second floor, and below is a lawn. If I smashed this window, then threw the quilt down to cushion the fall, and used the bedsheet as a rope, I should be able to escape.

Thinking of this, I didn’t hesitate. I picked up a chair and smashed it towards the window. But the window was too sturdy. I used a chair to smash it several times, panting heavily, but the window didn’t budge at all. I lifted the table again and smashed it, but it was still no use. The window in front of me was like an impenetrable barrier.

I leaned weakly against the glass window, my heart filled with despair. If this window couldn’t be broken, then where else could I find a way to escape? The surroundings were so quiet that there was not a single person to call for help. There were no communication facilities in the room. The doors and windows were all locked.

So, am I just supposed to wait here to die? Who on earth was it? Why did they have to be so malicious towards me? I slid down along the window and sat on the floor, filled with sadness, anger, and despair.

Suddenly, I saw a bright light in the courtyard, and my heart couldn’t help but tremble. The light was shining out from the downstairs door. But I clearly remember that last night the lights downstairs were not on yet. Either someone suddenly came today, or there have been other people in this villa all along, just intentionally ignoring me.

Thinking that there were people in the living room at that moment, I didn’t care about anything else, and hurriedly stumbled to the door, vigorously pounding on the door panel. “Open the door, let me out, open the door…” I shouted hoarsely, hoping they could hear me, hoping they could let me out.

But no, I shouted until I was hoarse and not a single person paid any attention to me. I fell to the ground weakly. The boundless helplessness and fear gradually surrounded me, and I curled up on the ground, letting the darkness engulf me bit by bit.

It seems like I had been in a daze for a long time. The day broke again. But I was still locked in this small room, I was even still lying on the ground, with no one to care for me. It’s as if I really died here, and no one cared. I lay motionless on the ground, without even the strength to scream.

Time was long, but also fleeting. It was hard to endure when I was awake, and when I fell asleep, upon opening my eyes again, it was suddenly night. I had been locked in this room for two days and two nights.
