Chapter 6 - Pregnant (1/2)

When Shen Qianshu woke up, she found herself in hospital. She lay silently on the hospital bed, surrounded by beeping machines and sterile white walls. Her mind was blank for a while, lifeless, then the memories from that horrible night flooded into her mind. She slowly registered the soreness and pain that flared weakly from deep within her body. It was as if the pain was engraved deeply within her bones and had now started paralysing her nerves. She felt numb.

“Sara, you are finally awake.” She could hear Luther’s voice. Shen Qianshu turned around stiffly, and saw Butler Luther beside her. He was not someone you would consider kind-hearted, but at that moment, there was sympathy in his eyes. “You were in a critical condition and unconscious for four days. After the doctor’s emergency treatment, you were finally saved.”

Shen Qianshu’s face was pale as Luther’s words came into her mind.

Remember, do not stay overnight in the castle.

She had… given herself to the devil.

Why?

Why did he treat her like that?

“Master was emotionally unstable, I hope you will be able to forgive him.” Luther bowed slightly.

Shen Qianshu’s gaze was dull, her eyes dead. “Why?”

No one could give her an answer.

Shen Qianshu stayed in the hospital for seven days. Butler Luther came to visit her three times and paid for all of her medical fees. On the day she was discharged, Luther came and gave her a check.

“Miss Sara, Master said that he no longer needs you as a chaperon. This check is a form of compensation for you.”

Shen Qianshu looked down at the numbers on the check.

One million euros.

How generous.

Her virginity was worth a million euros. There might not be many in the world who could claim that their virginity was valued higher than hers.

Humiliation. Loss. Irony. Desolation. A whirlpool of negative emotions trapped her like a net, drawing her in and enshrouding her in an endless cycle of despair. In this world of weightlessness, she was lost.

On a subconscious level, she wanted to rip the humiliating check into a million tiny shreds. However, this too, was fleeting, her mind was blank and all sound thoughts were gone.

“I want to meet with Master.”

“Master doesn’t wish to see you.”
