The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 9 - Can't You Read?



Did they really think that she became foolish just because she lost her memories? She scoffed at the thought.

"I may have an amnesia but that doesn't mean my IQ went down…" she mumbled to herself, a pout forming on her lips.

"We will be leaving for Japan tomorrow," he said, changing the topic.

Tomorrow... She was going to another country to live with him there tomorrow. Why did she feel like they were trying to hide her by rushing things? Why did it feel like they were running away from something?

"Grandfather's men might be wandering outside so I cannot leave the room. I'll sleep on the sofa."

"Oka-" she paused and instantly covered her mouth as she suddenly felt her stomach lurched. She rushed back to the bathroom to throw up the food she ate earlier.

On the other hand, Bai Jingye was surprised upon seeing her that way that he ended up following her from behind.

"What's wrong?" He frowned as he looked at her.

"I... don't feel well... I think I ate too much ear-" she threw up inside the bowl again. She was paler than a sheet of paper and lathered in sweat. She never felt so nauseous ever since she woke up. She heaved and heaved until there was nothing but an empty pit in her gut.

Bai Jingye sighed at the sight and didn't have a choice to get a cup of water and offered it to her which she gladly took, but that even forced its way up.

The toilet bowl was filled with the food she ate earlier but this time, it smelled sour. The man's frown went deep so he reached out and pressed a button on the side of the wall to flush everything away.

"Have you been feeling nauseous lately?"

She raised her head to him in surprise, "h... how did you know?" 

The man didn't answer and instead, he left the bathroom to go back to the sofa. He took the phone that was on the coffee table and tapped on the screen.

No matter how it looked, Bai Jingye couldn't help but doubt that everything was alright. She was a woman with an unknown background. With her memories gone, who knows what she has gotten into during the days before she lost them. For all he cared, she could already be a married woman. This was why he was so against marrying her. 

Three months... He just has to tolerate this woman for three months. For now, he needed to find out if she really was pregnant.

He messaged his assistant and ordered him to buy something.

Mengmeng went out of the restroom and this time, she wore the bathrobe to cover her body. She was wobbling a bit as she walked towards the bed. Her body felt so weak. Though she has somehow got used to the feeling. Ever since she was discharged from the hospital, she was feeling unwell, nauseous. She just thought that it might just be because of what happened to her. 

During her stay in Bai Keran's place, she kept quiet about her condition. It has only been two weeks since she left the hospital, maybe she was still recovering from whatever internal injuries she suffered from the accident?

Shortly after, a knock was heard.

Bai Jingye walked and opened the door only to see his assistant, carrying two paper bags with clothes inside.

"Be early tomorrow."

"Yes sir."

He shut the door and turned to look at the woman who was gazing weakly at him. He sighed inwardly. So much trouble.

"Here change into this," he said as he went and handed her one of the paper bags to which she accepted.

Mengmeng was relieved to see the comfortable clothes inside but what caught her attention next was the two small rectangular packages on the side. She pulled it out just to check but her eyes widened in surprise after seeing what it was.

"Eh? W-what is this for?" Mengmeng asked, slowly raising her head to him.

"Can't you read?" He frowned at her. He was clearly annoyed by the innocent look on her face. It only made him feel soft and he hated it.

"W-what I mean is…" she stuttered and paused to look at the box again. "I can't be pregnant… right?" She added, less sure.

"We won't know until you use that kit."
