---- Even though it had been four years, I still remember Ross! gaze toward me. They were filled with hatred and despair, and no hint of gentleness could be seen. He grabbed my shoulders tightly, and furious like a lion, he roared, "Tell me! Why did you swap the herbs?" I tried desperately to explain that I hadn't swapped the herbs. I had no idea what had happened. However, he no longer believed me. It was then that he cursed me with the cruelest words. "Jenny, you should be the one dying. You'll go to hell!" His words stayed etched in my heart for four years. No matter how much I tried to forget them, they always returned to me, leaving me in tears. I thought I would be numb to those words since I'd heard worse from Ross, but I still found my pillow soaked in tears when I woke up. ---- I wanted to call out to Stella, but all I could manage were faint choked whimpers. The tears on my face hadn't yet dried when I instinctively touched my flat belly. Feeling no movement at all, I burst into tears again. Seeing that I had woken up, the healer who was here to change my bandages said apologetically, " Luna Jenny, I'm sorry, but we didn't know that you were pregnant... By the time we noticed, it was too late to save the baby." She glanced at my belly, barely able to bring herself to say these words. The damage to my womb and my wolf was too severe, so I would never be able to get pregnant again. Tears blurred my vision. As I struggled to get up, the healer stopped me. Concernedly, she said, " You're covered in wounds now, so you must rest to recover. Don't move around too much, or your ---- wounds might open." Feeling her kindness, I wiped my tears and nodded lightly. Yet, before I could lie back down, Ross barged in angrily. He glared at me with blame and resentment. " Jenny, how can you be so wicked? Even if you hate me and don't want to carry my child, you shouldn't have staged a kidnapping!"
