Outskirts of country S Adjusting his white gloves, Gavin ran his fingers through the scalpel while humming his favourite creepy tune.
Adjusting his gla.s.ses, he turned towards a woman who was standing on a stool with both her hands tied up in the ceiling with the help of two long ropes. The woman"s face was extremely pale and she was in a half unconscious and half awake state.
Keeping his scalpel down, he kneeled down right in front of his table and chuckled, "Today I"ll show you how a twelve weeks old fetus looks like okay Dr Zhang?" Picking up the barbie doll from the table along with his scalpel, he slowly made his way towards the woman.
Holding the scalpel and the doll in one hand, he slowly patted the woman"s cheeks. "Hey wake up, we need to get ready for the operation. I don"t want to keep Dr Zhang waiting."
The woman slowly opened her eyes and jerked her face to the other side. "Don"t touch me."
Throwing his head back, he let out a mocking laugh. "I am not interested in you," looking at her stomach, he added, "I just want to show Dr Zhang how a twelve weeks old fetus looks like and she is very excited."
"Why are you doing this? I am your patient and you are a doctor, you are supposed to save lives." The woman sobbed.
Running his finger through the edge of the sharp instrument, he smirked, "I know and that is what I am doing. I am saving your baby, I"ll keep it safe with me and you don"t have to worry about it."
"You are sick and you"ll never get away with this. Let me go," the woman shouted.
Helplessly shaking his head, Gavin sighed, "That is not gonna happen." Lifting the woman"s t-s.h.i.+rt up, he added, "The most powerful love in this world is a mother"s love for her child. She starts loving her baby even before seeing it which is the purest form of selfless love. So as a mother, even you are supposed to selflessly love your child and this is why you"ll have to make a sacrifice today."
Pausing for a while, he continued, "You"ll have to give up your life for your baby so that I can keep it safe with me."
When he pressed the cold scalpel on the woman"s bare stomach, she s.h.i.+vered in fear. "Let me go please, I swear I won"t tell anyone. Please let me go, don"t kill my baby."
In one swift motion, he pierce the scalpel on the left side of the lower abdomen and dragged it towards the other side. His grin widened when blood splashed all over his face and white surgical coat.
Cutting through multiple layers, he took out the fetus and placed it on his palm. "You see Dr Zhang, this is how it looks like." Looking at the doll, he sighed, "Look at you all b.l.o.o.d.y again, let me clean you up after keeping the baby somewhere safe."
After placing the fetus inside a big gla.s.s tube, Gavin took off his gloves and started cleaning the doll followed by his face. "Did you have fun today Dr Zhang? Hmm what did you say?"
Pausing for a while, he frowned, "You are concerned about the dead body? Hmm don"t worry about that, she is a hero because she sacrificed her life to save her baby, we must take good care of her body."
…..
Li mansion.
Inside the garden.
"Huang it"s 2 am, why did you call me here?" Huiling whispered.
Huang frowned and pouted his lips. "You knew that I was staying over too so why didn"t you call or meet me? Don"t you miss me?"
Looking at his cute expression, she chuckled and squeezed his cheeks. "We were together all day so I thought maybe you want to spend some time with brother Zian and others."
"Really? The only single ones in our group now are Linyang and Liang who had something to do so they did not show up. Do you have any idea how tortuous it is to stay with Zian, Zixin, Mian and Yumi?" Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "They are always kissing, hugging and flirting with their partners and I feel so left out. I was missing you so much."
Hooking her arms around his neck, she smiled, "If I had known that my baby is missing me, I would"ve called you here as soon as Elsa fell asleep."
"You are sharing a room with Elsa?"
"Uh-huh, she fell asleep hours ago after taking her meds."
Wrapping her arms around her waist, he grinned, "Does that mean I can do whatever I want to?"
"Yes and then someone will manage to catch us and beat the s.h.i.+t out of both of us." Wiggling out of his embrace, she added, "You know that uncle Singtan takes a late night walk sometimes right? And not only uncle Singtan, it can be anyone like my brother who is also in this mansion."
Scrunching his brows, he grumpily sat down on the bench. "I don"t like this whole hiding thing."
Sitting down beside him, she chuckled, "Okay so why don"t we go to my house tomorrow and tell then you can tell dad about us so—"
Cutting her off, he awkwardly scratched his forehead, "Hiding this for a while doesn"t seem a very bad idea."
"I know right?"
Caressing her cheeks, Huang sighed, "I just don"t like it when I can"t hold you hand or hug you when I want to and it sucks."
Wrapping her arms around his, she rested her head on his shoulder, "Me too."
Kissing the top of her head, he added, "We will find a way out."
"Hmm, I know."
Placing his hand on the side of her cheek, he pressed his lips one hers.
Clutching onto his s.h.i.+rt, she closed her eyes and started returning his soft, sweet yet so pa.s.sionate kiss.
Just then someone gasped and dropped something on the ground. Covering both his eyes, Ashton vigorously shook his head and said, "I did not see anything." Before walking towards the mansion.
