"Felix, I can't take it anymore... ah..."
"Little one, you are telling me that you can't take it anymore now, huh?"
And they went for another round yet again. Eudora George suppressed the urge to vomit and turned off the surveillance camera.
That was her husband, Felix Meyer. They had been married for three years but he never once touched her. He'd rather indulge himself in alcohol and women outside.
There was a knock on the door. Fler mother-in-law, Laura Westin, shouted from outside, "Why are you hiding in the room again? Are you rebelling because Felix is not home? You’ve been married for three years and you can't even bear him a child. Why are you being so unreasonable? Why didn't you come out and cook? Do you want to starve me to death? "
'Heh, it takes two hands to clap. Giving birth to a child isn't something that I can do alone. Am I supposed to reproduce on my own?' Eudora thought.
Eudora suppressed her nauseated feeling and opened the door and headed to the kitchen.
Ever since she married into the Meyer family, her life had been nothing but a living hell. She gave up her independence and the opportunity to build her career. She gave up everything she had. She thought that as long as she tried hard enough, she would win Felix's heart. It seemed that despite giving her all, the only thing she earned was his family's growing hatred towards her.
Who would care about the sadness in her heart?
"Ah! Eudora, are you crazy? I asked you to cook! Instead you are mixing your blood with the dishes! Are you trying to disgust me to death?"
She heard Laura’s nagging and realised that she had just cut her finger. But she didn't feel any pain at all.
She looked at the bright red blood dripping from her finger, and then at her mother- in- law's disgusted look, she suddenly screamed in desperation. She felt so wronged.
It was late at night.
Eudora walked along the narrow and deserted street with a numb expression on her face, but there was a feeling of relief in her heart.
