As she cried, the scene changed to a scene of her lying on a cold operating table and the doctor performing surgery on her to abort her child.
Xu Wennuan's body trembled even more violently in her sleep, and more tears flowed down her cheeks until she finally let out a soft whimper.
She didn't know how long she had been holding back her tears, but she suddenly shuddered and woke up from her dream. She opened her wet eyes.
The first thing she saw was darkness.
Lying flat on the bed, she took a few deep breaths and reached out to press the light switch beside her.
The lights in the room came on, and she stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while before she forced herself to sit up.
Her head felt extremely heavy, and when she raised her hand to touch her forehead, it was frighteningly hot.
Xu Wennuan leaned against the headboard and adjusted her mood from her dream. She then lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
Her fever was getting worse, and her legs were so weak that she couldn't exert any strength. It took her a long time before she finally made her way out of the guest bedroom and into the bathroom.
She turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face. When her breathing was slightly smoother, she opened the door and slowly walked out of the bathroom to the dining room.
She steadied her slightly trembling arms and took a glass of warm water. Just as she raised it to her lips, she vaguely heard the sound of the dining room door opening.
Xu Wennuan paused in the act of drinking water. She waited for a while, but she didn't hear anything. Thinking that she had been hallucinating, she tilted her head back and drank half the glass of water. She then put down the glass and dragged her weak body to the coffee table in the living room. She grabbed the medicine box and sat on the sofa to search for fever medicine.
After a few searches, Xu Wennuan heard the soft sound of the door opening. She raised her head reflexively and saw that the master bedroom door had opened. Lu Bancheng, whom she hadn't seen for a month, was neatly dressed and carrying a suitcase as he walked out.
He used to live here, so he must have stored many of his things here. Did he come back tonight to pack some important things?
Xu Wennuan stared at Lu Bancheng for less than a second. She didn't even meet his gaze before she lowered her head and looked at the medicine box again.
Lu Bancheng had deliberately chosen a late night to return home, but he hadn't expected to see Xu Wennuan face to face. When she looked at him, his body stiffened, and he stopped in the middle of closing the door.
After a while, his gaze fell on her body.
She was no longer looking at him. She lowered her head and rummaged through the medicine box for some unknown medicine.
Is she sick?
Her head drooped a little. He couldn't see her face, but he could tell from her figure that she had lost a lot of weight in just a month.
She must have found the medicine she wanted. She placed the medicine box on the sofa, took a box of medicine, stood up, and slowly walked into the dining room.
As her figure disappeared, Lu Bancheng retracted his gaze from the entrance of the restaurant and looked at the coffee table where a box of instant noodles was placed.
Lu Bancheng involuntarily tightened his grip on the suitcase.
He stared at the instant noodle box for about half a minute before he forced himself to come back to his senses. He calmly closed the door, picked up the box, and walked to the entrance.
After he changed his shoes, he was about to push the door open when he heard coughing coming from the dining room, followed by the sound of glasses falling to the ground. His body trembled, and he stood stiffly facing the door for a moment. In the end, he reached out, twisted the doorknob, and stepped out of the house.
