Chapter 3Drugging Me 33 Times

Not far away, Sebastian rushed over, holding two bunny-shaped ice creams. He always said Cathy was like a cute, timid bunny. Cathy looked at him with surprise, then quickly turned her head, covering her face.

“Li… Sebastian. Look at Evelyn, she fell down.”

Sebastian didn’t even glance at me. He tenderly pulled Cathy’s hand away. Seeing the angry red handprint on her face, his expression immediately turned cold.

“Evelyn Reed, you’re too much! You’ve been bullying Cathy all this time, and she’s never once held it against you! But you? You won’t let her go, and now you’re falsely accusing her like this!”

Sebastian took Cathy’s hand, looking at me with cold disdain. “If you had even half of Cathy’s kindness and generosity, everyone wouldn’t despise you so much.”

“Oh, really?” My hands clenched tighter. A sharp pain shot through my palms, and the haze in my mind cleared for a moment. “Look at her neck. Am I falsely accusing her?”

A flicker of guilt crossed Sebastian’s eyes, quickly hardening into defiance. “You’re sick! You see filth in everything.” With that, he pulled Cathy away, walking off.

As I tried to move, a sharp pain shot through my ankle. My lower abdomen also throbbed faintly. I limped to the hospital, only to be told I was pregnant.

The news hit me like a lightning bolt. I frantically pounded my own belly. I didn’t want it! I didn’t want this child. He was my shame! The cold operating table pressed against my trembling spine. I felt like a fish on a chopping block, helpless as the doctor removed a blurry mass of blood and tissue from my body. When I regained consciousness, I saw it: a fetus, not yet fully formed, covered in blood.

At that moment, Cathy sent me a video. She and Sebastian were kissing passionately, his breath ragged as he whispered to her.

“Cathy, Cathy, you’re so much better. You have no idea, every time I see Evelyn, I just imagine her in others’ arms. She’s so dirty, it makes me sick!”

I couldn’t stop myself from vomiting. The dead child, the explicit video, Sebastian’s contempt… Everything was utterly sickening. Pain crushed my heart, and tears mixed with vomit streamed down my face.

Escape! Get out! My constricted chest reminded me: if I didn’t find a way out, Sebastian and Cathy would torture me to death! I had fought with all my might to get into Crestwood University, spending sleepless nights in the lab, not to meet Sebastian and be humiliated and violated by him!

I thought of my former professor, currently abroad, and desperately reached out for help. “Professor, you once invited me to participate in your project overseas. Is it too late if I want to join now?”
