City S
In just a month's time, Zhuang Zixin's condition worsened again. Lately, her stomach pains have become more frequent, and the painkillers seem to be working less and less. She thought that gradually, she would experience the unbearable pain the doctor had talked about.
"It hurts so much!"
She lay on the sofa, pressing her stomach hard with her hand, the stabbing pain making her feel life was not worth living. She wanted to scream in agony, but she knew it would be useless.
Sister Wu came out carrying a tray, placed the dishes on the dining table, and was about to turn back to the kitchen when she heard Zhuang Zixin's groans.
She didn't intend to pay attention, but Zhuang Zixin's voice sounded so painful that she pursed her lips and still walked over to her, asking, "Miss Zhuang, what's wrong?"
"I... my stomach hurts so much..."
Zhuang Zixin raised her face, it was covered in sweat, her eyes filled with tears.
"Ah? Did you take the painkillers?"
