Stealing Your Heart

She stared dumbfounded at the information flashing up right in front of her eyes. It was indeed an ingredient that was claimed to have health benefits in Chinese medicinal terms. However…

It was human placenta.

Qin Ya couldn’t accept that she had been consuming such a thing.

Her stomach churned at the sight of the bowl in her hands. Aware of what the soup contained, she felt increasingly nauseous.

Grandma Su urged on, “Drink it up quickly, Ya. The doctor has said that your body’s weak. This soup is best for you. Eat up the meat inside as well…”

Ugh… Qin Ya pressed a hand over her mouth.

The stench from the bowl was unbearable. She only felt worse remembering what she read and saw about the ingredient.

Before Grandma Su could continue speaking, Qin Ya couldn’t restrain herself anymore. She quickly placed the bowl down on the table and ran to the bathroom. She threw up all the food she had eaten earlier.

Su Zhan ran after her and soothed her back as she vomited. “Is it really that difficult to drink the soup?”

He had no idea what was in the concoction that Qin Ya was made to drink every day. Upon seeing how sick it made her feel each time, he couldn’t help worrying about her.

Qin Ya rinsed her mouth. Steadying herself at the sink, she slowly looked up at him. “Su Zhan.”

“I’m here. What is it?” He continued patting her back lightly, hoping to relieve her pain.

“I’m afraid I can’t go on like this longer… You have to be ready for this,” she said with a shaky voice.

She was on the verge of breaking down. Being forced to drink that sickening concoction had been pushing her beyond her limits.

“I’ve been tolerating it as much as I can. I’m already at my limit; you both have to understand…”

“I know.” Su Zhan gently wiped her mouth. Qin Ya looked away. “That soup… I really can’t drink it,” she muttered weakly.
