Chapter 84 Cold Little Bunnies

I wound the window down, reaching out to touch his hand. It was freezing.
“Come on. You might not know this because you were born down South, but
someone in my neighborhood really had their ears fall off from the cold when
I was little- cough cough cough…” I choked on the breeze.
Liam put his cigarette out, pulling the door open and getting in as he wound
the window shut. “Who told you I was from the South?”
I said, “Didn’t my sister–in–law say that you were from Gilead?”
“That was my mother. I grew up in the north.”

He didn’t sound like he was from the North though, from the way he talked.
Liam started the car, glancing over again. “Keep going.”
Keep going at what?
“Keep asking questions.” He glanced at me warningly. “Know your limit.”
All I could do was ask, “Is your father still around?”
“He is.”
“Well… what does he do?”
“He doesn’t work. He took care of the kids at home.”
Really?!
I was surprised. “So he didn’t have a job, and just took care of you guys?”
“Mmm.”
I couldn’t help but say, “So you and your sister were raised by your Dad.”
Liam smirked. “Weren’t you as well?”
“No,” I said. “My sister and I were raised by my mother, then Mrs. Sullivan. Dad
didn’t want Mom to work.”
Liam said, “You told me before that your mother was a scientist.”
“She was,” I said. “But then my father felt that the kids needed their mother, so
he stopped her from working in the lab.”
Anna said that they had fought all the time because of this, and my dad had
even bullied her for it.
But in my memory, Dad would always hold Mom first, then only come to see
me… it was just that he didn’t show up very often.
I think that Anna’s remembered things wrongly. After all, her memory isn’t like
mine.
Liam grunted, his tone sounding condescending. “I’ll let you work. Go straight
to graduate school after three years of maternity leave, then get a PhD.”
My chest lurched, and I looked at him.
He looked over as well. “Heard that? Stop lazing around all day. Take the time
to graduate before the baby’s born.”
I didn’t say anything, closing my eyes.
Sure enough, Liam fell silent too.
Fatigue hit me soon, and I began to feel a pang of dizziness and slight pain.
It had to be said that the future he described did sound pretty good.
There was no point in agonizing over the truth of it- it wasn’t going to
happen anyways.
Here, I felt a little sad and could not stop myself from holding my torso and
trembling.

Just then, a wave of warmth hit me along with a familiar scent.
A hand patted me, the motion tender as if it was to a child.
“Go to sleep,” he said softly, his voice gently. “Two cold little bunnies.”
I was woken up at once by a wave of nausea in my belly.
I rushed into the bathroom with a spinning head, and puked for quite a while.
I stumbled back to bed, scrambling for my medicine and popping a few pills
into
my mouth. Before I could put the pill bottle back into the drawer, a hand
stretched over.
I stared numbly as he took the pill bottle away, bringing it up close to him to
inspect it.
My thirty million dollars were going to go to waste before I could even cash it
in… just like that?
Liam inspected the pill bottle closely, turning it around and reading it. A while
later, he tossed the pill bottle on the bed and laughed as he glanced at me.
“And you’re still talking about an abortion.”
I picked up the bottle, squinting at the label through my dizziness before
realizing this was the bottle for the vitamins I was supposed to take for my
pregnancy
I put the bottle back into the drawer, lying back on the bed
I closed my eyes. The medicine hadn’t kicked in yet, so the dizziness and pain
hadn’t stopped and I was still feeling nauseous I didn’t want to puke the
meds out, so I struggled to bear through it
All of a sudden, I felt a pressure on my body
I opened my eyes to stare right into Liam’s
He was hovering about me, staring at me unblinkingly with a dark gaze
What was going on now?

I could not help but feel a little nervous.

A while later, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of my mouth. “Do you
get off on playing with me like this?”
What was he talking about now?
“Come on,” Liam said, lifting my jaw as his gaze grew cold. “Playing dumb
again?”
All I could do was say, “What do you mean by… playing with you.”
“You clearly want a child, but say you’re getting an abortion.” He squinted his
eyes dangerously. “You just like to see me stop you, don’t you?”
I couldn’t understand his logic at all…
I said, “I’ve never thought of that before. You’re thinking too much.”

“You don’t even have to think about it.” He pressed harder, hurting me a little
as his breathing quickened. “You’re simply so selfish that you’re used to
stringing men along like this…”
“Well, are you being strung along?” I could not help but cut him off.
He stopped talking at once.
I closed my eyes again. “I’d like to sleep for a while longer.”
No response.
My dizziness was fading, as well as my pain.
I slowly relaxed myself.
Just then, there was a sudden warmth on my tongue.
He kissed me deep and hard, nipping and biting until it hurt.

I was fine with it. After all, he had to look out for the ‘baby‘, and couldn’t do
much more than this.
Sure enough, Liam stopped after a while and got off me. A while after that, I
heard the sound of the bathroom door close.
I stayed lying there for a long time, and realized that I was a little hungry
because I had thrown up for so long.
It had to be said that it was a little strange, almost as if I was imagining
things. My appetite seemed to be a little better compared to when I was
staying in the other house.
Could Liam have forced it out of me?
I got dressed and came to the kitchen, and saw Mrs. Sullivan taking a cake
out of the oven with oven mitts on.
I asked her for a slice, and was about to dig in when I felt something furry
touch my foot.

I looked down. It was a little white rabbit.
The rabbit was still bandaged. One of its ears was upright, the other floppy.
I touched it lightly with my toe. It froze at once, falling over to the floor.
I’d never seen a rabbit do that before. It caught me off guard.
Just then, a hand stretched over. It hoisted the rabbit up, lifting it off the
ground as its nose twitched and it opened its eyes.
“Poor little Vivi.” Liam stroked the rabbit’s soft fur, smiling at me. “Playing dead
the second you get scared, that’s what rabbits know to do.”
The rabbit obviously trusted him a lot. Its ears flattened, and it lay
comfortably in his hands.
I reached out to touch it, but it tilted to the side and ‘died‘ again.
