Real And Fake Young Lady: I Have Seven Brothers Pampering Me After I Transmigrated

438 Self-inflicted Bitterness

In a hospital in M City.

At that moment, Bao Xu was still lying on the bed. However, his eyes were no longer filled with the smugness and excitement from a few days ago. Instead, there was only unending emptiness and exhaustion.

Originally, he had only ‘accidentally’ injured his foot with a nail, but now his legs were disabled, and he would be paralyzed and bedridden for the rest of his life.

“Have something to eat, I…” His wife, who was sitting by the bed, looked haggard. She was holding a bowl of porridge in her hands, wanting to feed Bao Xu, but Bao Xu’s head was turned away.

“I can’t eat. Just leave. Let’s get a divorce once we receive the money he’s sending you. Then, remember to go to a few more pharmacies and get me the sleeping pills,” Bao Xu said expressionlessly.

He had already lost the will to live.

But he didn’t want to be a burden to his wife and family. Other than his two children, he also had to support the parents of both sides.

His living this way was a huge burden for his family.

“No, don’t be like this. There’s still hope. You should eat something…” The wife had a complicated expression as she bit her lips and looked at her husband lying on the bed. Tears started to fall once more.

They were just being greedy, but who would have thought that things would turn out like this?

“Eat my foot! Get lost! Get out of my sight! Go to hell!” Bao Xu suddenly waved his hand and shouted emotionally.

At the same time, he knocked over the bowl of porridge in his wife’s hand.

The steaming hot porridge spilled on the ground and onto his wife.

“Sorry, I… Sorry, Dong Nan, I…” When Bao Xu saw his wife looking at him in disbelief, he was at a loss.

“Bao Xu, you’ve gone too far.” His wife even forgot about the scalds on her body. Her tears flowed nonstop, her heart aching so much that she felt a little suffocated.

Bao Xu lay on the bed and did not probe. As his wife, she had been under unimaginable pressure for the past few days.

The reproachful questioning from both sets of parents made her feel lost. The truth of the matter could not be revealed. Otherwise, the whole family would be in danger.

She had to pretend that nothing had happened in front of the two children and lie that their father had just gone on a business trip and would not be back for a long time.

The truth was too cruel, and this misfortune was too great a blow to his family.

However, it had all started because of the couple’s greed.

Yet, even if the two of them had refused, there would have been another pair of unlucky people who would become Zhou Hao’s tools.

The poor woman worked during the day and went home at night to look after the children and the elderly. She had to maintain her composure.

After taking care of her family, she went to the hospital to keep her husband company.

When she rested late at night, she was occasionally woken up by nightmares, the source of which was naturally Zhou Hao.

The words that Zhou Hao had said to her that night kept reverberating in her ears, and she could not escape it.

Just as she was hesitating about whether she should follow Zhou Hao’s instructions, out of the blue, Zhou Hao gave her a few more days’ time.

He seemed to be tolerant, but in fact, he had almost driven her to madness.

Bao Xu, who was lying on the hospital bed, was in a foul mood. He wanted to die. As Bao Xu’s wife, she had to endure even more pain. If not for the fact that she could not bear to leave her family, she would have killed herself immediately.

Death would be a form of relief.

She was very regretful. She regretted being so greedy. If she had ignored it at the beginning, none of this would have happened.

“How’s the family these two days?” Bao Xu asked softly after a few seconds of silence.

“Don’t you know whether our family is well or not? Our parents are old and need someone to take care of them. The children are still young. One is in preschool while the other is in second grade. How am I supposed to tell them about this? Yes, we broke the law first and deserve to die, but this has nothing to do with them…”

His wife was also on the verge of an emotional breakdown. She cried as she complained loudly.

“I’m sorry.” Bao Xu was about to use tissues to wipe the porridge off his wife.

“Don’t touch me!” His wife shrank away from Bao Xu’s hand and continued, “You want to die. You don’t want to face it because all you need to do is lie on the bed and whine and vent your anger on me. But what about me? I didn’t tell you how I was threatened by that Zhou Hao when you were unconscious, did I?”

She added, “I haven’t had a good night’s sleep these past few nights. I can’t sleep either! The moment I close my eyes, I think of Mom and Dad’s lonely faces! And my two children have no one to rely on. That Zhou Hao, he is unscrupulous. What can I do! Tell me, I’m a woman, what can I do?”

His wife closed her eyes in pain.
