VENUS REVENGE
Chapter 5. Determinedly

“I will return all this suffering to you, Hugo!” hisses are full

resentments.

His memory goes back to the past. When he woke up in that foreign place for the first time.

“Where is this? Are you the ones helping me? Thank ye. Can I go home now?”

Jean got up and got out of bed, about to leave.

“Wait, Miss! You have to shower first, just met the owner of this house!” a woman dressed in maids gave advice.

“Oh?” Jean looked at her dusty dirty old clothes. She looks embarrassed. Even the clothes of the maids were much cleaner and nicer than the ones he wore.

“Is that so the rules in this house?” tanya was a little scared.

“Ya!” A maid nodded.

“After the shower you can say everything you want to say, to Sir,” is obviously another maid.

Jean hesitated. “Good ...”

Then she was dressed and escorted to the man's place. Under threat, Jean is forced to agree to a marriage agreement with Hugo. Or Mrs Mildred and the orphanage where her sisters live, will be destroyed. He hated Hugo in his heart for that.

Jean never expected much by being Hugo's contract wife. His obligation was only to give birth to a son to be the successor of that man.

Luck was on his side. After one month of marriage, she became pregnant. Jean thought she would not be affected at all, and still believed that she would be able to return to her family at the orphanage after the contract expired.

Hugo did not come to him at all after that.

Except when he came home from grandpa was too drunk. He will force Jean to serve.

As her pregnancy progresses, Jean begins to doubt her feelings. It's not that he's starting to love Hugo. However, her maternal instinct

which rises with the development of the fetus in his stomach.

Moreno's birth signaled to Jean that the contract's marriage was about to end. She had been anxious from the beginning, because her maternal instinct made her heart not want to be far from that handsome and adorable baby.

Hugo still allowed Jean to breastfeed his son. Until the last dinner at the grandfather's residence. The man could no longer be persuaded to

let her take care of her own son.

Only, Jean did not expect that Hugo would be very willing to throw it in the middle of the ocean! It stirred up hatred that had been so deeply buried. Moreover, after knowing how severe the situation is now.

“The world is too narrow for both of us. I'm gonna

come take my son and kill you!” his vow with fiery eyes.

Morning is another struggle for Jean aka Shadow.

He woke up with a crumbling body. His leg is in great pain.

But he doesn't know how to handle it. His groans were heartbreaking.

Even though he was tired of crying, the pain did not subside.

“I have to go down and look for medicine and food. Or, or,

I'll die when the Falcon comes back!” heart word.

By dragging a limb that is barely

he felt, Shadow moved slowly.

His body again thumped on the wooden floor. “Adduuhh ..,”

his weakness.

That immeasurable pain made his body tremble. Gritting his teeth, Shadow continued to drag his body towards the broken table the night before.

The sun broke through the window without a lid, allowing him to see what was left of the table last night. Shadow found three potatoes and one yam. Then some sort of foliage that he never knew, if it was edible.

“Did he concoct medicine from these leaves?” his inner.

“What if this turns out to be toxic?” Suspicious Shadow smelled the scent of every kind of leaf she found.

“The smell is similar to the bitter medicine last night,”his murmur

hesitate.

“Ah .. what is the difference between dying now and tomorrow! The important thing is I've tried to make my own medicine!”

He scolded himself

himself so afraid to die. He just escaped death!

Shadow crawled back to the remaining fireplace

embers. He brought a wooden table that was then thrown into the fireplace to become wood

combustor. The potatoes and yams are arranged on the edge of the fireplace to ripen without having to

charred.

Jane collected the leaves that were found and put in a tin cup that was lying messy on the floor. His eyes searched for water and he found it near the door. A large cup of water with a lid.

“May it be clean water,” hope he while dragging his feet there. However, he immediately froze after realizing

the water cup was high enough to reach. If he forced his way into that thing, then it could be that the contents inside were spilled out.

Shadow looked near him. A block of wood that

tying the wall lies slightly above his head. His hands are reaching and

holds its surface firmly. Focusing on the wooden beam, he pulled his body up.

His teeth chattered to withstand leg pain that was forced to withstand the body's weight. His hand immediately opened the cup cover and was very happy when he saw the water filling the place.

“Thank you, Falcon!” ogre. Water with a canned cup and immediately gulp it to refresh a dry throat.

Shadow sat by the fireplace, waiting for the medicine and the yam to ripen. He's cleared up the mess from breaking the table last night. The little cottage is pretty neat now. The scattered leaves have been collected in one container.

Two hours passed, his pain was slowly subsiding

after drinking the tea leaves he found.

“It looks like he gave me this medicine during the illness. Is this just pain relief, or is there really a benefit

another?” Fill it again with water and put it back in the fireplace.

“I have to go out looking for something to eat.”

Shadow saw one grilled yam that he deliberately left for lunch rations later.
