The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 15

Cold.

It was a chill that went bone deep.

Abigail leaned against the edge of the bathtub. Although the cold water

sluicing against her skin helped somewhat, it was still a terrible ordeal to

endure after she was drugged with an aphrodisiac. Fortunately, she

somehow managed to drift off to sleep.

She soaked in the cold water all night, and the next day, she felt somewhat

dazed.

Before she left, she also made it a point of informing Dahlia. “Sean went out

early last night and didn’t come back all night. I don’t know what he’s doing,

but I’m not waiting for him; I’m going to work.”

She didn’t care about what Sean was up to. She just wanted Dahlia to inform

Lína that the two of them hadn’t consummated their marriage last night.

She didn’t even know how she left Graham Residence. When she stood at the

doorstep of her studio, Luna was taken aback by her pale face. “Where did

you go last night? How did you end up like this?”

Then, she hastily went over to support the dangerously swaying Abigail. Yet,

the moment her skin touched Abigail, she could tell that Abigail was definitely

running a high fever. “Why did you come here when you have a fever?! I’m

taking you to the hospital right now.”

Abigail weakly waved her hand in dismissal. “No, I want to go home and

sleep. Just give me a ride.”

Then, she instinctively touched her belly as those words fell from her lips.

That was the spot where she had received numerous injections to stimulate

ovulation. After she left that dreadful place the last time, she was

traumatized enough that just hearing the word ‘hospital‘ could make her

nauseous.
