The Canary that couldn't escape

Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 261 Fasting 3

Mo Ran reseated himself on the bed and noticed a great many books at the headboard. There were softcover

books of all kinds: classics, biographies, philosophy, , you nit.

There was even a complete guide to pregnancy!

With a curled lip, Mo Ran lay back on the bed, his eyes empty and devoid of any desire to move.

Alone in a locked and isolated space, it’s easy to let one’s thoughts run wild, and Mo Ran was no exception. The

more he thought, the more despondent he became, losing all notions about living.

He had decided on a hunger strike; if Gu Yixuan was heartless enough, let him watch both her and the child

starve to death. If he couldn't bear it, he would let her go.

This was a gamble where losing meant her life, but winning meant her everlasting freedom.

True to her word, Mo Ran stopped eating. No matter how Gu Yixuan pleaded or threatened, she wouldn't eat.

Having not had a drop of water for two days, even if she could hold up, the child in her womb would certainly

not.

For two consecutive days, Gu Yixuan hadn't rested at all. His eyes were bloodshot, and his temper grew

increasingly volatile. He didn’t go to the company, and whoever called him would get a scolding, as he vented all

his anger on others.

The entire villa was shrouded in a pre-storm gloom.

"What will it take for you to finally eat?!" he asked, nearly out of his mind.

Mo Ran kept her eyes shut, her attitude indifferent, completely ignoring him.

She was truly like cotton, unaffected no matter how you treated her. Gu Yixuan felt his earlier sense of

powerlessness was nothing compared to now; this was true powerlessness.

"Mo Ran, are you really heartless enough to kill your child?! He is your child!"

Her heart clenched suddenly, but Mo Ran told herself she must not be soft-hearted, or else she would never be

free.

"If you don’t eat, I'll kill Mo Yan!" Gu Yixuan finally uttered his fierce threat.

Mo Ran'’s eyes flew open, and she looked at him, her voice cold and hoarse with weakness, "Go ahead, kill her.

Then | will join her in death, and | will kill the child as well."

The man’s face darkened in an instant, "Don’t push me!"

"I'm not pushing you, even if you don’t kill her, I will kill this child. I don’t want him!" To hold Gu Yixuan in check,

you had to be even more ruthless than him.

In truth, what Mo Ran said was only said in anger; she didn’t actually believe this.

However, Gu Yixuan, agitated as he was, took her words very seriously. He stared with wide eyes and fell silent

for a long time.
