Was My Blood
Chapter 45
I drew a few wiggly, ugly lines on the paper. I tore up the paper and started
again. However, I still could not draw it after three pieces of paper.
I wanted to stand up, but Liam stopped me. “Sit down,” he ordered.
Liam was lying on the bed, resting his head on his arm. I saw some blood on
the white sheet that covered his waist.
Those are my blood, and he caused the blood.
“I need a ruler,” I said.
“Why would you need a ruler for drawing? Do you really think I want you to
draw a circuit diagram?” said Liam.
“I need a ruler to draw a symmetrical rat,” I said.
“A rat? I want you to draw me!” Liam frowned.

“I’m not good at drawing,” I said.

“Just draw what you see,” he said.
“But…” Liam’s phone rang before I could finish the sentence.
“Anything?” Liam frowned and answered the phone impatiently.
“Alright, I’m coming… No, you are overthinking,” said Liam over the phone.
“Take a picture of me with your phone,” said Liam after he hung up.
“I can draw a rat if you are busy,” I said.
Liam frowned again. I quickly used my phone and snapped a picture of him.
Liam stood up and walked over. “Finish the painting before twel
to sign it,” said Liam after he looked at the picture on my phone.
“Is someone coming over?” I asked when I saw him change int

clothes.
“None of your business. Continue with your drawing.” Liam patted my head
and left.
I sat alone in the quiet room, drawing while looking at the picture on my
phone. The first few attempts were terrible. I finally gave up and drew as I
liked.

After a few hours, I finally finished my first–ever painting. The best part was
that no one would recognize the lump on the bed was Liam, even if he hung it
in his office.
I checked my watch. It was already two in the morning. Liam did not check on
me. I was tired from drawing, but I was also disappointed that Liam did not
come. Therefore, I went to look for him.
All the lights in the house were lit. Someone was visiting.
I looked around but could not find Liam. Then, I saw a robot ser

down with a snack tray and two glasses of red wine. “Good evening, Mrs.
Mendez,” the robot greeted me when it saw me.
“Good evening. Who is the red wine for?” I asked.
“They are for Mr. Mendez and Ms. Olsen,” the robot answered.
My heart skipped a beat. “Where are they? What are they doing?” I asked.
“They are chatting and cuddling in the reading room,” answered the robot.
I ended the conversation and let the robot server go. Then, I went upstairs
with a sinking heart.

The reading room was next to my room. I tiptoed to the reading room’s door. I
hesitated, but I finally opened the door. Then, I heard a familiar sound. I
pushed the door open and saw the couch in the reading room.
Liam was sitting on the couch with Rina straddling him. The back of the white
dress was opened, revealing the skin on her back. Her arms we

Liam’s neck.
I could not see Liam’s expression from where I stood. I could only see him
holding Rina tightly, and Rina’s face blushed from excitement.
Meanwhile, Rina also saw me when I came in. She lifted Liam’s face with her
hands.
This time, I finally saw it.

I saw Liam’s gentle expression, which he had never shown me when we were
together.
Then, Rina kissed Liam on his lips.
I was too afraid to confront them because I would be asking for humiliation.
Therefore, I ran away when their lips touched.
I walked aimlessly. When I passed by my room, I recalled Rina grabbed my
arm and tortured me with Liam a week ago. I also remember

to the house happily three years ago, only to be left alone day after day.

I went into my room, which still smelled of blood, to pack up my belongings.
However, I could not shake off the image I just saw, the way he held Rina in
his arms and looked at her with the utmost affection and gentleness. Yet, he
tortured me like trash in this room merely three hours ago, and I drew him a
painting.
Thinking of this, I tore the painting into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
I ran out of the house without any obstacles. There was no one else in the
house, only the robot servers.
It was snowing outside, but luckily, it was not windy. I finally cleared my mind
after walking along the quiet street for ten minutes. I hardly see any cabs
during the day, let alone late hours like this. I wanted to call a cab, but I
realized I did not have my phone with me. So, I continued to walk.
Then, I heard an engine sound from afar. I quickly hid behind a tree. A black
Maybach drove by. I saw the car registration number: it was Lian

No, that’s impossible. He is busy canoodling with Rina. There are plenty of
Maybach in this area. Stop imagining!
I came out from behind the tree and continued to walk down the street.

My ears were frozen because I had forgotten my hat when I left. I was not
sure how long it would take to walk to the nearest train station with a splitting
headache. I was planning to get there to keep warm until the service
resumed in the morning, then I could go into the town to get a phone and a
hotel room.
A car stopped by my side quietly when I was thinking about my next step.
