---- childbirth in my previous life. The next second, a gush of warm blood flowed out from beneath me. The panic of losing my life instinctively made me grab Gilbert's hand: "T don't want to be a bridesmaid. Please, take me to the hospital..." He looked at the bright red blood beneath me, and complex emotions welled up in his eyes. 'Julian, the doctor said it's normal to bleed after taking the medicine. Just get some sleep and you'll be fine." "By dawn, we can go back to how we used to be." He thought that an emergency contraceptive pill should be like an abortion, with heavy bleeding. The more blood that flowed, the more completely that child who shouldn't exist would disappear... I saw him visibly relax his back. ---- He pried my fingers off his one by one, took my phone, locked me in the room, and strode away. Separated by a door, I felt like I was back in my previous life, when he left me alone in the bridal chamber. "Gilbert, we can never go back to how we used to be..." The blood flowing beneath me increased, and the sounds of celebration for Gilbert's upcoming wedding had moved to another spot. My instinct for survival only allowed me to reach the old phone in the drawer. The call connected, and I only managed to say "Help me" before losing consciousness completely. The next day, Gilbert, in a good mood, instructed the nanny to clean my room. The nanny, following his instructions, used the key to open my room door, only to find it wide open. A strong smell of blood assaulted her senses, but I was nowhere to be found. ---- She screamed, her face turning pale deathly: "something bad happened! Miss Julian, something's happened to her! She... is gone..." As if realizing something, his face paled for a moment.
