Chapter 55 Better Cooking


    The wet clothes stick to her body. She stands up. Nina Morrison feels low back pain and some pain in


    her lower abdomen. She is secretly worried and hates him in her heart. He knows she is pregnant and


    it is difficult for a pregnant woman to do such things. It’s so inhumane! Nina Morrison scolds Lucien


    Gray in her heart.


    Nina Morrison is relieved when she goes to bed to lie down and rests for a while. The pain in her lower


    abdomen eases a lot. She’s been bent over and tired.


    “Baby, mother is sorry for you.” Nina Morrison is distressed.


    Other pregnant women will be cared for by the whole family like a queen and will not do any hard work


    for fear that the baby in the stomach will have any problem. But no one cares about her baby except


    herself.


    Lucien Gray wants the child to die! Nina Morrison suddenly shivers. He asks her to do so much


    housework probably to kill the child in her stomach!


    Run away! As soon as her father’s operation is over, she will trys to take him out of the city. It’s


    dangerous for her to be around Lucien Gray. Nina Morrison secretly draws up an escape n.


    Lucien Gray lets Nina Morrison eat whatever she wants so she has good nutrition during pregnancy.


    Lucien Gray sometimes has a sarcastic tone, “Look at you, African refugees are morefortable than


    you look. You have to eat more food in the future or other people will think that Lucien Gray withholds

    the ration of my servants.”


    The weather has been fine these days. One afternoon, Lucien Gray looks out of the window at the


    swimming pool and suddenly talks to Nina Morrison, “Put the water out of the pool and clean it well. I’m


    going to swim in the evening.”


    “OK.” Nina Morrison has a headache looking at the big swimming pool.


    After draining the water in the swimming pool, Nina Morrison takes a brush and detergent and goes


    down to the pool to start cleaning it. She stoops and repeatedly washes the wall of the swimming pool.


    After a while, she is so tired. She leans over the pool for a while and then turns on the tap to wash the


    ce she has just brushed carefully.


    The sun slowly sinks and bes a huge red sun hanging in the sky. The orange glow casts soft


    warmth on the garden but Nina Morrison is cold all over. When she washes the pool, she can’t control it


    properly. The water often sshes out and wets her clothes.


    It’s time to cook dinner. Nina Morrison dares not dy any longer. She nces at the half-cleaned


    swimming pool, sighs and goes to the kitchen to prepare dinner.


    Before she can change her semi-wet clothes, Nina Morrison hurries to wash her hands and begins to


    wash and cut vegetables.


    Lucien Gray, who has always had a light diet, wants to eat spicy Sichuan food today. That is exactly


    what Nina Morrison wants. She likes spicy food now but Lucien Gray has a light diet. She is so greedy


    that she bought a bottle of spicy sauce and put it in the kitchen. When she wants to eat, she scoops up


    a few spoons.


    Today’s water is very cool. Coolness passes down both hands to the whole body. Nina Morrison is


    wearing semi-wet clothes and sneezes several times while cutting vegetables.


    She makes a Mapo Beancurd, a boiled fish, a dried chicken and m soup. After this period of


    exercise, Nina Morrison’s cooking has been quite good.


    Nina Morrison can’t wait to eat these dishes which are beautifully coloured, red and spicy in the soft


    yellow light.
