Chapter 30 Jade
I kept overthinking that day. Lawrence knocked on my office door when it was near 5pm. He asked if I
was free for dinner.
I recalled the one time when I had a cold, Lawrence ran out in the rain to get me meds, I’m not stupid, I
knew about his feelings for me.
Such kindness was very valuable to me. I really appreciate it.
But I will never deserve such kindness anymore. Ever since the day I decided to sell myself out in a
deal, I deserve nothing.
I rejected Lawrence’s invitation, he drove away with disappointment.
I needed to clear my mind alone so I went to the mall. I came across a small private clinic beside the
mall and suddenly remembered what Wendy said. She said Lance would most probably be back after a
week right?
I took some pills yesterday and puked the whole night. It’s clear that pills weren’t my best solution, but I
couldn’t just let myself get pregnant and go for abortion again, right?
I entered the clinic and saw the doctor. Private clinics just want money, they wouldn’t care about your
body and would do what you want them to do as long as you pay. I wanted to insert a tiny little metal
gadget into me, it was to prevent pregnancy. Lance would be back after a week, my body would have
recovered well by that time, so if he wants me on bed my then, it shouldn’t be a problem.
The doctor did as I said.
He told me it wouldn’t hurt, but it did.
I recalled the time when I aborted the child. The pain …… I wouldn’t have to experience the same pain
ever again.
By the time I left, it was already near dark. I called a cab and went back to my condo.
I cooked some instant noodle and filled my stomach up with junk foods.
When I was deep into sleep, I suddenly felt a warm feeling all over my body. My forehead was burning.
I thought, maybe my body still wasn’t used to this IUD (intra-uterine device)
I didn’t have any fever meds with me so I drank a lot of water to fight off the burning sensation.
The next day was Saturday, so I didn’t need to go work. I stayed at home to rest.
Chapter 30 Jade
I was taking a nap when my phone rang. I glimpsed at the screen with one eye and saw Lance’s name.
Wasn’t he in New York? Was he so free to call me?
I picked the phone. I didn’t even have the time to speak as he already spoke first.
“Where are you?” he asked straight away.
“Home, why?”
“Nothing, come to Jade Recreations.” He said. I stopped him from hanging up by asking quickly: “Aren’t
you at New York?”
He didn’t answer me immediately, he stopped for a brief moment and said: “I came back yesterday,
um…… how do you know?”
His last question confused me, was he trying to tell me I have no right to know where he went?
I didn’t think about it much and pack my stuff. It was freezing cold out there, so I wore my thickest
trench coat.
The colour of the coat made me look much better, not so sick.
I picked up my bag and headed to Jade Recreations.
This is a famous relaxation centre. A lot of rich and upper class people come here to entertain
themselves or relax. There’s a huge gold-club there too.
Arriving at the place, one of the staff brought me to Lance. He was playing gold with an old man, he
seemed to be really humble around the old man, not as cocky as he is normally.
| approached them and greeted. “Mr Mason.”
He looked at me and scrunched his face as if my outfit wasn’t suitable.
“Oh, you brought a lady friend! Introduce us, will you?” the old man spoke up. He stared at me up and This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
down with that little eyes of his. I had a bad feeling.
Then I kind of guessed what Lance wanted to do……
