Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Throughout the entire dilation and curettage process, Fanny felt almost nothing.

It was precisely because of the lack of sensation that the pain came belatedly. She felt as if a knife was slowly penetrating her heart, and the pain was unbearable.

In the end, her tears dried up along with the pain of the procedure.

When Oliver came to see her, she lay on the bed, her long black hair contrasting against her snow-white skin. She looked almost ethereally pale, exuding a haunting, broken beauty.
