Chapter 3144: Innocence 65

Holding back her anger, she handed me the medicine and said, “The pharmacy staff said that if you’ve not been pregnant for long, you can use this abortion drug. Xiachun, do you remember when your last period was?”
“Last… last month,” I stammered.
Han Xiao took a look at the instructions on the medicine box and said, “Go home and try taking this medicine! However, I heard that drug-induced abortion is very painful. The pharmacy staff said that small clots of blood may flow out after you take this drug. That’s the pregnancy sac. When that happens, it means that the abortion is successful.”
I held the package in my hand and asked nervously, “How much is this medicine? I’ll pay you for it.”
“It’s okay, it’s not expensive.”
She waved her hand and said, “Hurry up and take it! They said that the earlier the better, the less damage it will cause.”
I nodded.
When I got home, Dongyu wasn’t back yet. Clutching the box of medicine tightly, I entered the study and shut the door behind me. I carefully took out the box to read the instructions.
I had a hard time reading it, and only half understood the instructions. Just as I was trying to figure it out, I heard the sound of the door opening behind me.
Startled, I frantically stuffed the medicine box into the drawer and hid it. When I turned around, I saw that it was Dongyu, and I looked even more embarrassed.
“Brother—”
I called out to him softly, trying to look nonchalant.
He scrutinized me for a while before suddenly questioning me, “What were you holding just now?”
“Medicine…” I subconsciously blurted out. I immediately bit my lip and stopped talking.
His handsome brows rose in confusion. “Medicine?”
“Yes… cold medicine.”
He walked over nervously and reached out to touch my forehead. “You caught a cold?”
I dodged like a scorpion and waved his hand away. “Don’t touch me!”
His expression froze and his gaze turned slightly icy.
I immediately said, “Don’t worry about me, okay? I can take care of myself.”
Dongyu quietly sized me up for a while. Without saying anything, he turned and left the study.
“Bam!” The door slammed with a deafening noise.
I turned around mechanically and slowly opened the drawer. My heart was in turmoil as I looked at the package lying in the drawer.
Not long after that, my parents came home from work. After finishing my homework and dinner, I hid in the bathroom and was about to take my medicine when I heard footsteps outside the door. My heart skipped a beat and I felt guilty.
The next day, during morning self-study, Han Xiao handed me a note with the message: Did you take your medicine yesterday? How was it? Did everything go smoothly?”
I looked at the elegant handwriting on the note and crumpled it into a ball with mixed feelings.
After class, Han Xiao came to me and asked me why I didn’t reply.
I said, “Everyone was home last night. It wasn’t convenient.”
“What should we do then? Will it be ineffective if you don’t take it soon?” Han Xiao asked worriedly.
I leaned against the wall, head down, eyes empty.
However, she suddenly suggested, “Why don’t you come to my house tonight and tell your mother you’re doing your assignments at my house? Then… I’ll cover for you and you can take the medicine.”
I did not speak.
After a moment of silence, Han Xiao asked, “Are you unwilling to abort it?”
“Why would I be?!”
I raised my head and said with red eyes, “I wish… I wish it didn’t exist! Why would I be unwilling?!”
Seeing that I had lost control of my emotions, Han Xiao immediately hugged my shoulders gently.
