By the time Qiao Hua collected her medication and left the hospital, half an hour had passed.
In the car, she looked at the pills in her hand, and the anxiety that had plagued her for days finally eased.
These past few days, whenever she went out, Gu Wenze sent people to watch her. She had no chance to terminate the pregnancy.
Since she couldn't go to the hospital for an induced abortion, taking pills would work just as well.
Qiao Hua hurried back to the bar as fast as she could. When she returned to the private room, Gu Jinman was still sprawled on the sofa in the same position as when she had left, and the bottles on the table hadn't been touched.
It looked as though no one had come in.
Qiao Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to go over and wake Gu Jinman, the door in front of her suddenly swung open from outside.
A tall, imposing figure strode in, casting a long shadow beneath the dim yellow light.
Qiao Hua's breath caught. For a moment, she stood there, forgetting what she had been about to do.

Qiao Hua came to her senses and quickly composed herself. "Why are you here?"

His deep, dark eyes were probing. Qiao Hua feigned composure. "Your cousin thought they were getting in the way, and she didn't want them to see her cry, so she made them wait outside."
