Chapter 451 - Chapter 451: What’s Wrong With Your Hand (4) (2/2)

“Let’s go home.” Zuo Hancheng put down his solemn and low tone and turned it into a clear and gentle tone.

She raised her eyes and looked at the door in front of her, still not saying a word. When he opened the door, she walked straight in. She thought that she would face Xu Yuan’s worries or questions, but after walking in, the house was quiet. There was no scolding from her mother-in-law as she had expected.

Anhao stood still in front of the door and looked at everything in the house.

“Mom has been very worried about you these past few days, but she guessed that with your personality, it would be difficult for you to face too many people’s concern at once, so she booked a flight back to America before you came back. When you feel better, she will call you.”

Zuo Hancheng put Anhao’s things down and turned to look at her, who was still rooted to the ground.””Before she left, she made your favorite pork ribs and fish soup. They’re all in the kitchen. Some seafood is considered cold food. She was worried about your pregnancy, so she didn’t cook those things for you.”

Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao’s face as he spoke. Anhao’s back stiffened when she heard the word ‘pregnant.’ Then, she walked over as if nothing had happened. Her movements were a little stiff and she sat down on the sofa mechanically. She let out a soft ” Oh.”

While they were eating, Anhao held her chopsticks tightly to the warm fish soup and pork ribs that Xu Yuan had made for her before she left. Under Zuo Hancheng’s gaze, she slowly raised her chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork rib.

However, before he could hold it firmly, his hands trembled and the ribs fell back onto the plate. At the same time, the ribs soup at the bottom of the plate instantly covered the table.

She quickly put down her chopsticks, turned around, and grabbed some tissues to wipe her face. As she wiped her face, she held the tissues tightly. After wiping the soup stains off the side of her plate, she gave up on her chopsticks and picked up the spoon to drink the soup in front of her. Her hand trembled slightly as she held the spoon. She was trying her best to control it, but Zuo Hancheng could see her strange behavior.

When Anhao finally managed to take a sip of the soup, her trembling hands loosened slightly and the spoon fell back into the bowl. She was about to grab her chopsticks to eat when Zuo Hancheng, who had been quietly watching her unusual actions, suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Anhao paused and didn’t struggle. The moment she looked up and stared at him, she felt her wrist being flipped over. At the same time, her instinctively clenched hand was pulled away by him and her fingers were pulled up one by one.

It was not until Zuo Hancheng saw the bloody wound on her palm that the suppressed calmness in her eyes finally cracked.

However, it was too late for her to break free. She only struggled for a moment before she felt his hand almost crush her wrist.

Anhao gave up struggling and quietly avoided Zuo Hancheng’s gaze.

“What happened to your hand?”

Zuo Hancheng asked the obvious question. It was obvious that she had injured her own palm in the detention center these past few days. She did not know when Anhao’s fingernails had grown longer, but how much strength did she use to pierce her palm? Even her fair palm was almost covered in blood.

When she was alone, she had been clenching her fists and stabbing her palms with her nails. She had been doing this quietly so that no one would notice her self-abuse, but in the end, even eating was so troublesome.

So, did she eat anything in there these few days?

“I accidentally scratched myself.” Anhao answered perfunctorily. She only looked at him for a moment before looking away.

She could not face Zuo Hancheng’s gaze. The only thing she could feel was that the most painful and scarred part of her hand was right in front of him. It was as if her most vulnerable side was completely exposed to his eyes.

However, his grip was too tight, and she could not break free. She endured the pain and refused to speak..
