Sarah awoke from a nightmare, her forehead covered in sweat, the events of last night still vivid in her mind. Michael had treated her brutally, again and again, as if he wanted to tear her and her soul into pieces.
The bathroom window was still open, with a constant breeze blowing in. Sarah, feeling cold, hugged herself. It was always like this; after insulting and ravaging her, he would leave her in the bathroom to fend for herself.
She struggled to get up, her legs sore and painful, and could only bite her teeth, lean against the wall, and slowly leave the bathroom. She asked a passing servant, "Wheres the medicine?"
Every time after, Michael would leave the medicine at the door for her to take when she woke up, but today, she didnt see it.
"The young master left in a hurry last night and didnt instruct anything."
The maid looked down on her, and after speaking, she didnt forget to give Sarah a deep look of contempt: "What are you pretending for? I think youre just hoping to have an heir for the King family to make your life easier."
Sarah didnt bother to respond, grabbed the maids hand, and asked again, "Wheres the medicine!"
"Oh, youre really starting to act like a young mistress?" The servant was dismissive. Sarahs status in the King family was not even as good as a dog, and as a servant, she naturally wouldnt take her seriously. She pushed her to the ground.
"Is your master crazy? Does he want me to have a child?" Sarah shouted at the servant.
But at this moment, the man in the attic suddenly made a lot of noise, saying he wanted... wanted... wanted...
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Michael rushed into the room and went straight to the attic. Sarah, ignoring the pain, ran and fell until she reached the attic. John was already bruised and on the verge of death, still muttering "want... want..."
"You illegitimate child! Beast!" Michael shouted, as if recalling the tragic scene of Emily being violated by this jerk that night, and was about to throw a punch again. But Sarah suddenly rushed over and hugged him from behind.
"Do you want him to die? Hes your only family!"
The only family?
For some reason, Michael suddenly listened to Sarahs words, put down his fist, and even his voice revealed fatigue.
"Isnt he also the one who defiled Siqiu because of your despicable actions?"
Sarah was stunned. John defiled Emily on the night of Emily and Michaels engagement, was it a fact?
It was a fact that everyone believed.
But... didnt she hear that it was after everyone heard Emilys scream and rushed into the room to find the two of them in disarray?
Michael pushed her away, picked up the white pill on the ground, and when he turned to look at her, he smiled even more ruthlessly, and she was scared and fell to the ground.
He couldnt stop him from approaching her, pinching her mouth, and stuffing the white pill into her mouth.
"Sarah, youre really despicable, trying to use this fool to take away the medicine, pretending to be innocent, and finally having a wild child, right?"
"I... I..."
Sarah shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She didnt instruct John to take away the medicine, and she didnt dare to have Michaels child. With a mother like her, even if she had a child, it wouldnt be happy, would it?
Michael wouldnt know that the moment she opened the door and didnt see the medicine, a surge of joy suddenly welled up in her heart. In fact, there was no forgetting to instruct, but he did it himself.
The medicine was swallowed by her, and Michael also left the attic, leaving her only a back view.
"Si Qius illness is cured, and she wants to see you, give you ten minutes, get out for me!"
