Chapter 68


    Be‘s POV: That night, Miranda appeared in front of me with my daily necessities.


    Miranda made me some noodles.


    But I didn‘t want to eat anything at all. I didn‘t fall asleep all night. Dawn came. I stood in front of the


    French window on the second floor and looked down at the whole courtyard. The temperature in the


    mountain was much colder than in the downtown area. I wore a night robe on my shoulder. The early


    morning in the mountain was beautiful and quiet, but I was not in the mood to enjoy it.


    This vi was decorated with European style furniture and decoration. It was very luxurious. Even the


    crystal cups for drinking water were imported, and the ground was covered with expensive wool


    cushions. Although it was summer, the top of the mountain was moist and cold. I didn‘t feel cold until


    covered myself with a thick quilt at night. Heh! Herbert found an exquisite cage to imprison me. In


    addition to loneliness, I felt a lot of fear.


    It turned out that it was really dangerous to annoy Herbert!


    My phone had been smashed by him. My family and friends couldn‘t get in touch with me.


    They would definitely be very anxious, but the phone in this vi had been restricted by Herbert. It could


    only be used to contact him and Connor. I could not use it to call any other number. I thought about it all


    night, but I couldn‘te up with a good solution. I could only keep calling Herbert.


    “Herbert, let me out. Do you hear me?” “Herbert, I don‘t want to stay here. Hurry up and send someone


    to pick me up!” “Herbert, you bastard, you have no right to restrict my freedom!” However, every time I


    talked on the phone, the other end of the phone was always silent. I felt that he didn‘t listen to me at all.


    When I got tired of shouting at the phone and didn‘t want to talk anymore, he said calmly. “The air on the


    mountain is very good. It‘s good for your health. Just now, you talked so much. Take it as training your


    lungs!” “Herbert, you really deserve to die!” I cursed him, but the phone had been hung up, so he couldn‘t


    hear my curse at all.


    | smashed the only phone in the vi angrily. After two days of silence, I finally thought of a way to fight


    against Herbert: hunger strike. He could care less about my body, but he couldn‘t ignore the condition of


    my baby. For the rest of the day, I didn‘t drink water or eat anything.


    I already felt an obvious hunger, but I had to endure it, I couldn‘t be locked in a cage like a bird. My


    mother and sister would be very sad if they couldn‘t find me. In the evening, Miranda brought dinner to


    me and said in a pleading tone, “Mrs Wharton, have something to eat. The baby in your belly will be very


    ufortable.” I pretended not to hear it. This was the tenth time that Miranda had asked me to have


    dinner today In fact, I almost couldn‘t hold on any longer. The baby in my belly began to toss around, and


    the fetal movement was very frequent. I didn‘t dare to look at the dinner that wasid out by Miranda. I


    was worried that I wouldn‘t be able to hold on any longer. Miranda burst into tears. “Mrs. Wharton, Mr.


    Wharton will definitely me me if he finds out. If


    anything happens to you, how can I exin it to him?” Hearing this, I felt very depressed. So I haven‘t


    eaten for the whole day. Did he not know about it? Would I starve to death first before he finds out that I


    was going on a hunger strike? I looked up at the dark sky outside. My God, did I have to spend this long


    night in hunger? If I had known that the revolution was so difficult, I would have hidden some food in the


    house in advance, but now, I have nothing! I touched my belly andforted the baby in my heart.


    “Baby, you must hold on! It‘s all my fault for being so stupid. I should use some strategy In the end, I


    didn‘t eat anything. Atst, Miranda left the room with the food helplessly At nine o‘clock in the evening,


    when I was starving, the door of the room was kicked open Startled, I looked up and saw Herbert walking


    in with an ugly look on his face “What do you want to do? Are you threatening me with my child?” He


    walked to the bed and asked me.


    I didn‘t expect him toe so soon I thought that he woulde tomorrow after Miranda told him that I


    was going to have a hunger strike “I want to go home!” I calmly looked up at Herbert “It‘s absolutely


    impossible.” Herbert‘s expression was firm, I turned my head. “Then just watch as your child starves to


    death.” I couldn‘t bear to let anything happen to the child in my belly, but now the child had be my


    only bargaining chip. In my heart, I felt sorry for my child. “Baby, I‘m sorry! Mom used you to threaten


    Dad. I really have no choice.”


    Who would have thought that Herbert wouldn‘t ept my threat at all? These words instead angered


    him. He pointed at me and said, “Be, I‘ll seriously tell you, if anything happens to my child, you and


    your family will all die!” His eyes were as cold as ice. I was scared by his words, and my back was


    covered with sweat, If someone else had said these words, I might have thought that they were just


    scaring me

    18.460 But the person who said this was Herbert...


    I think he would really do that.


    If I were alone, I could continue to be tough with him.


    But I still have mom and sister...


    “You... are not allowed to do that!” My voice trembled.


    It was indeed terrifying for Herbert to go crazy. I couldn‘t joke about the safety of my mother and sister.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “If you don‘t want me to do that, then eat your meals on time.” said Herbert.


    At this moment, I knew that I couldn‘t be too tough with him. My tough attitude had no effect on him, and


    I didn‘t have the capital to continue to be tough with him.


    There was no need for me to hit the stone with an egg. So, the next moment, I softened my tone.


    “Herbert, I suddenly disappeared. My mother, sister, and friends can‘t find me. They will be anxious and


    worried! Do you know? If they call the police, you must be in trouble.”


    “Don‘t worry about this.”


    “I went to your mother‘s house yesterday, and I told them that you were not feeling well. I took you to a


    foreign sanatorium. You need to be quiet and don‘t want to be disturbed. I asked them to contact you


    after a while, and I left them enough living expenses!”


    “By the way, your sister is going to go to college soon, and I have left her tuition fees. And your best


    friend, Joey, I also asked Allie to tell her the same reason. Do you have any friends and rtives you


    need to inform? I can ask the secretary to do it for you. You must stay here until you give birth to my


    child!”


    Herbert said a lot, but I couldn‘t refute him.
