Chapter 7: Suicide

Elio dragged Julia directly back from the hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the Parker house, Elio threw her out, as if throwing away disgusting garbage.
"Pregnant?" Elio's gaze fell on Julia's flat belly.
Julia crawled to the side and curled herself up in the corner, refusing to meet his eyes. It had already been two months, and Elio had kept her locked up for the entire two months!
He went to the hospital today because the servants reported her severe vomiting.
"I want to go to the hospital." Julia lowered her head, repeating continuously, "I want to go to the hospital."
"Don't want to give birth?" Elio interrupted her. "Julia, remember what I said. Right now, you have no right to refuse anything. Even this child, you must give birth to it for me!"
Julia suddenly looked up, her hidden black pupils now bloodshot. She shouted with all her strength, "Elio, how could you, how could you be so heartless?!
But Elio's eyes were filled with icy coldness. He called for the butler, "Take her away."
Elio left these words behind and turned to leave.
Frantic, she ran after him, "You can't! Elio, Elio, you can't do this—! Ahh—!! Let go of me! Let all of you let go of me!!"
The butlers and servants pulled Julia away and dragged her into the bedroom.
To prevent any mishap, they removed all sharp objects, even nailing shut the windows and isolating everything.
Julia sat helplessly in the bedroom, her laughter escaping as she looked at the securely nailed windows. But with her laughter also came tears silently rolling down her cheeks.
This time, she truly was imprisoned.
Every time Julia thought of Elio's cold and indifferent gaze, her body trembled in pain, and desperate cries echoed through the room—
"Elio, Elio—!!"
Three months later.
Julia remained locked in the empty bedroom, her body drenched in sweat as she lay on the cold floor.
In these three months, she engaged in intense exercise, but her belly continued to grow each day.
As she looked at her swollen stomach, pain filled her eyes.
'Why don't you just die? Do you know that your existence in this world will not bring happiness?' she murmured, caressing her bully.
She didn't want this child, no matter what. He shouldn't exist, let alone suffer!
When the knocking on the door resounded once again, Julia mechanically lifted her head.
"Madam, it's time for your examination." The butler was accompanied by a doctor and a nurse.
She suddenly looked up, her eyes fixated on the camera in the room. She stared intently.
With a trembling hand, she touched her belly, her eyes showing indifference while she felt a sharp pain within her heart.
'I'm sorry, I'm sorry.'
'I don't want this, I don't want to do this, but you shouldn't exist in this world, you shouldn't.'
She made up her mind, her eyes flickering a lunatic hint.
The butler sensed that something was off with Julia, but before he could inquire, Julia slowly stood up. As they stood there in disbelief, she ran frantically towards the door.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, to the point where they couldn't even react in time!!
"Madam!" The butler hurriedly chased after her, he couldn't let anything happen to the madam. If something were to truly happen, then he would be responsible.
Julia was too anxious, she was afraid of being caught by the butler again. In her panic, she tumbled down the stairs, rolling down from the second floor!
It hurt, her entire body was in pain, but she couldn't stop.
The butler was so frightened that he nearly fainted, and when he saw Julia clumsily getting up from the floor, his heart finally settled.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness." He exclaimed.
"What are you causing trouble for?" In the silent hall, Elio's voice suddenly resounded in a cold, unfeeling tone.
Julia suddenly raised her head.
Elio was at the dining table, his eyes filled with indifference and his brows furrowed.
She stumbled as she rose, swaying step by step towards Elio.
With each step Julia took, she felt a sharp pain throughout her body.
'Hold on a little longer, can you bear with it a little longer?'
'In the next life, in the next life, will you come back to be my child? I'm sorry, truly sorry.'
Suppressing his annoyance, Elio wished he could just grab the woman's neck in front of him and make her stop.
"Elio, I..." She opened her mouth, her lips pale, tears streaming down her face, her voice almost inaudible.
Elio momentarily lost focus.
In that moment, Julia, fueled by some unknown strength, forcefully pushed him away and snatched the fruit knife from the dining table!!
It happened in an instant, Elio's eyes widened in shock, "Julia! How dare you!!"
But she hesitated not for a moment, a ruthless expression on her face as she raised the fruit knife in her hand, and then—
She thrust it forcefully into her own abdomen!!
