Tzuyu wanted to rebuke him again, but his next move frightened her.
The man pressed his lower body tightly against hers before she could object.
“You wouldn’t dare. Do you understand why I have to do this?” The man’s voice was laced with a smile, but it was a sinister smirk that sent shivers down her spine.
“Don’t…” Tzuyu was so scared that her whole body trembled.
“Hmph, I wasn’t asking for your permission!”
“Ahh!”
“Make sure you enjoy this night.”
The man’s menacing voice echoed beside her ear.
“I’m going to leave a lasting mark on you. Always remember that your body belongs to me… Enjoy this.”
“That hurts!”
…
“Let me go… I’m begging you…” Tzuyu tearfully pleaded.
She could not bear the violent pain, so she cried and begged desperately.

Jennie did not go to work in the morning. Yeji's father also allowed her to rest at home for a few days because of the trouble at the hospital.
Jennie and Yeji spent their entire morning having fun, but this angered Lisa.
“She couldn’t get a good night’s sleep yesterday so you can’t stay over today!”
Lisa warned her in advance before he went to work. There was a gloomy expression on his face.
Jennie: “…”
Yeji: “…”
Yeji stuffed a handful of snacks in her mouth after Lisa left. She muttered, “My brother used to be such a loner. Why is he so overprotective over his wife now? Does it look like I’m trying to seduce you? I can’t believe that he got jealous because of a woman. How could he be so unreasonable?”
Jennie smiled without saying a word. She did not mention to Yeji how sickeningly sweet it was when the man’s eyes were filled with pain after he saw her returned home soaking wet yesterday night.
Fifth Miss Yeji was the most enraged when she heard that Jennie fell into the water. Not even Lisa, Jennie, nor the Old Mistress were as angry as her.
The young woman had paid close attention to the recent events. She persisted in her belief that Somi had pushed Jennie into the lake.
“I told you that I jumped in on my own to save her!”
She could not help but laugh when she saw the look of disbelief on Yeji's face. “You know that Somi can’t swim.”
She had obviously hidden the details about Somi's failed attempt to push her from Yeji.
Ah Fu ran anxiously inside while the two women were chatting. She swallowed the words she was about to say when she saw Yeji.
Jennie rose to her feer. She asked calmly, “Ah Fu, what’s wrong?
“Ah Fu, are you hiding something from me?”
Yeji became very upset when she saw Ah Fu’s hesitation.
“Fifth Miss and Mistress, Little Cui from Peace Mansion came to me in secret just now. She told me that the Eldest Young Mistress is experiencing a terrible stomach ache, but she’s enduring the pain at home because she doesn’t want to go to the hospital. Little Cui asked me what to do because she’s very worried. Should we inform the Old Mistress? I’m scared that something might have happened…”
Yeji leaped up from the lounge chair before Ah Fu finished speaking. “Sh*t! My brother definitely did something terrible again!”
Jennie's forehead scrunched up as she followed Yeji closely from behind. “What do you think happened?”
“We’ll know once we’re there! What good could Demon Manoban have done?"
Yeji took her phone out and called Minho while she ran. “Father, send an ambulance over!”
Minho made the necessary arrangements immediately without asking any questions.
Yeji rushed to Peace Mansion and entered through the side door.
Neither Xue Meiwei nor Jae-wook was at home. Tzuyu was home alone because Taecyeon was at work. She was curled up miserably on the bed at the moment.
The throbbing abdominal pain made her face extremely pale. Her purplish lips trembled out of fear and the attempt to suppress the discomfort.
Tzuyu's broke down when she saw that Yeji and Jennie were here. “Jennie, Yeji… Am I going to die?”
Yeji rushed forward and held Tzuyu close to her. She pressed both sides of her lower abdomen and asked, “Does it hurt here?”
Tzuyu shook her head. That was her appendix. She did not think that it was the source of the pain, but she could not pinpoint where it hurt either.
Yeji's face darkened. Beside her, Jennie had no knowledge in the medical field, but she was all the more anxious just by watching the scene beside her. “Yeji, what happened exactly? What’s wrong with Tzuyu?”
Yuan Tian asked in a low voice, “Did you sleep with him last night?”
Jennie did not know why Yeji asked that question. However, she could roughly guess the answer when she saw the terrible bruises all over Tzuyu's body. She also noticed the faint traces of blood on the bed when she followed Yeji's gaze.
There was no need to hide anything from Yeji because she was a doctor, but Tzuyu was still slightly embarrassed because she was also Taecyeon's younger sister.
She merely cried and refused to speak. She was too afraid to mention the inhumane torture that she suffered last night…
“Tzuyu, this is serious. Did you do it or not?”
Jennie was distressed and scared. Her tone sounded rather anxious now.
Tzuyu nodded gently.
“Get changed quickly and prepare to go to the hospital!”
As she spoke, Yeji had already started to take some clothes out of the closet.
The ambulance arrived moments later. Tzuyu was about to faint from the pain, but she could hear Yeji speaking to the medical workers, “Check the condition of her corpus luteum first once you’re back. My initial guess is that it’s ruptured…”
*
Tzuyu had never imagined that Taecyeon's abuse would force her to be hospitalized again in just slightly more than a month.
Taecyeon was previously scared that his third uncle would find out about the whole situation, so he had sent Tzuyu to the Sheng Yu Hospital.
Tzuyu had no choice this time. She was dragged to the military hospital in the ambulance that Yeji had called.
Minho knew that Tzuyu's ruptured corpus luteum and ashen complexion was caused by an excessively rough episode of sexual intercourse.
Tzuyu would heal very quickly after the minimally invasive surgery.
He called Jae-wook first to explain the situation. Minho could not believe that he had experienced something like this.
“Second Brother, Taecyeon's treatment of his wife is unprecedented in the Manoban Family. Have you been neglecting your duties as his parent?”
Jae-wook did not dare to retaliate when his younger brother chided him. His third brother was a stubborn person who did not have the habit of participating in most mundane affairs. However, he would bring the matter to the Old Mistress should the matter angered him. Things would certainly turn serious then.
Jae-wook scolded Taecyeon inwardly. He urged Taecyeon to rush to the hospital to pay a visit.
News of Tzuyu's hospitalization had reached Jungkook in no time. This orthopedic surgeon who was usually an extremely mellow person had no time to calm down now. He did not care about arousing the suspicion of others. He was already waiting outside the entrance of the surgical theatre before Tzuyu's surgery was over.
Indescribable pain filled Jungkook's heart when he saw her haggard face after she had returned to the ward. She looked like a completely different person.
“Little Tzu, why didn’t you tell me earlier that this b*stard was treating you like this?”
Jungkook guarded the woman on the hospital bed. The hatred burning inside him made it difficult for him to think straight.
He would have stabbed Taecyeon to death if he appeared now, but that would still not be enough to dispel his hatred towards that man.
Jungkook could tell that Taecyeon had abused Tzuyu more than just a few times.
It was just that Tzuyu had endured the pain in the past when it was still tolerable. The abuse had clearly worsened. Jungkook realized that it could not be a coincidence for these two incidents to have occurred consecutively. He could not suppress his rage any longer.
