Then she took a picture and Googled it. It turned out to be a placenta, and it was indeed beneficial for
health.
But...
For Theresa, it was simply unacceptable.
As long as she thought of what it was, her stomach twitched fiercely. She couldn’t even imagine the
feeling of drinking the soup stewed by the placenta.
" Come on, Theresa, just drink it while it's hot. The doctor said your body was still weak and you will
need this. This is the best tonic I can get. Just eat meat as well. This is beneficial for your body..."
"Eh..."
Before Elizabeth could finish speaking, Theresa had almost thrown up just smelling the taste of the
soup.
She ran to the bathroom rapidly and vomited all the food she ate.
Armand gently patted her on the back. "Is the soup really that bad?"
He didn't know what was inside that soup, but what he knew was that Theresa couldn’t accept it.
Theresa washed away the filth, rinsed her mouth, and looked up at him. "Armand Bernie."
Armand asked, "Well, what can I do for you?"
"I'm afraid I can’t hold on to it much longer, so I need to get you ready for what’s coming next." If this
went on, she would lose her mind.
She could put up with most things, but she had a bottom line, and this soup thing had crossed the line.
"I have already made a concession, don't push me again and again, you have to consider my
feelings..."
"I know." Armand reached out to wipe her mouth, but Theresa turned her head away, "I can't drink that
soup."
Armand's hand froze awkwardly. He curled his fingers and retracted slowly.
"Okay, fine, you go in there first, I’ll talk to grandma."
Theresa walked past him sideways.
" Theresa..."
"Grandma."
Elizabeth wanted to call her back but was then interrupted by Armand. He walked over, pushed
Elizabeth into the room, and told Dora, "Throw away the soup..."
Elizabeth's eyes popped widely. "Do you have any idea how hard I managed to get this? And you just
throw it away?"
It was impossible to get the placenta without the help of staff in the hospital. And that was quite
expensive!
Dora stood up and asked, "Am I throwing it away or not?"
"Don’t you do that!"
Elizabeth shouted.
Armand said, "Do as I said, throw it away."
Elizabeth shivered angrily. "What do you want to do?"
Armand ignored her anger, led her into the room, and closed the door.
"Is she unwilling to drink..."
"Grandma, what’s in the soup?" Armand could tell that the reason why Theresa couldn’t accept the
soup was some raw material that she couldn’t take.
He didn't know what it was, but he could feel the smell of it.
"I used some help to get the placenta from the hospital. And that cost me a lot…"
Before Elizabeth had finished speaking, Armand interrupted her, and his eyes popped widely because
of astonishment. "What?"
"That is very difficult to acquire." Elizabeth still didn't think she was wrong. She just wanted Theresa to
get better soon.
The placenta was only available in hospitals. After the mothers gave birth to their children, most people
would not take them home. They would just give them to the hospital. And the hospital would keep
them and sell them to those in need.
Of course, these buyings and sellings are always conducted in secrecy. You can’t simply go into a
market and buy a placenta with money. The placenta can only be bought using a special method and
relationship.
Armand was about to go mad. How could Elizabeth be so crazy and reckless?
"Grandma, are you willing to eat this thing?"
"I am fine and I do not need this."
Armand took a deep breath and felt almost suffocated. He tried his best to hold back his anger towards
Elizabeth and didn’t lose his mind, "Even I can't accept eating such thing, let alone Theresa."
Armand knelt in front of Elizabeth while speaking. His eyes were covered with a thin layer of tears. He
put his hand on Elizabeth's lap and sobbed with his head lifted, "Grandma, if you keep messing around
like this, Theresa and I might break up because of you. She has already promised you, what else do
you want to do? Huh?! Will you be happy if I break up with her? Is it what you want? Do you know how
painful I am? You are my beloved grandma and she is my beloved girlfriend. I don't want to hurt
anybody. We all behave carefully and follow your requests just to cater to your will. But why can't you
consider our feelings for even once?"
Elizabeth looked at him, "Armand...Armand..."
Armand covered his face, "I am begging you, please stop it, okay?"
There were tears in Elizabeth's eyes. She just wanted to help them, but why couldn't they see her
efforts?
Did her kindness and efforts bother them?
Elizabeth also felt wronged.
"Alright, fine, I will just leave you alone, OK?"
Armand sat down on the ground, speechless.
It took him a long time to get up and go to Theresa.
Theresa was still in the room. Armand led Elizabeth to her room and closed the door, so Theresa didn't
know what he said to Elizabeth.
"Grandma has promised that she won't ask you to drink that soup in the future." He walked over and
said, "Theresa, I'm sorry."
Theresa knew it was difficult for him to deal with the relationship between her and Elizabeth, so she
wasn’t upset.
The more tolerant Theresa was, the more embarrassed Armand Bernie felt.
"Do you know? I'm very weak. I don't want you to suffer, but I can't do anything. It feels so bad." He sat
on the edge of the bed, with his elbows against his knees. His back bent down and Theresa couldn't
see his face.
"I know, and I didn't blame it on you," Theresa said gently.
"You don't blame this on me, but I blame myself for being so weak. If I can be more ..."
"Be more rough-hearted? Abandon your grandma who raised you?"
Armand smiled bitterly, "Yeah."
Theresa patted his head, "I would not love such a man. How can I trust a man who abandons his
beloved grandma and his humanity?"
