The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 89
The weather had grown noticeably warmer, as if heralding the approach of summer. The sleeves of those working had long since been shortened, and the curtains and carpets inside the rooms had also been replaced with lighter ones suited to the season.
Perhaps stirred by the breeze blowing in through the open window, the curtains fluttered softly. Clayton, who had woken earlier than usual, tapped his fingers lightly against his desk in the study.
His face, lost in deep contemplation, bore a heavy weight of worry. The man, who had been staring blankly into space, slowly lowered his gaze.
His crimson eyes settled upon a small glass vial neatly placed on the desk—the abortifacient Clayton had ordered to be mixed into Dahlia’s dinner the previous afternoon.
Ceasing his idle tapping, he picked up the vial and rolled it in his palm. The violet liquid inside shimmered transparently.
As Clayton stared at it with indifferent eyes, memories of yesterday flickered through his mind.
Although he had initially commanded that the abortifacient be added to Dahlia’s dinner, he ultimately rescinded the order, overwhelmed by surging hesitation.
“The patient shows no physical issues. However, I cannot guarantee whether any psychological complications might arise.”
In truth, one of Clayton’s greatest fears was precisely Dahlia’s reaction after losing the child—he had often heard tales of women who recklessly sacrificed their own lives to save their unborn.
Knowing well that a woman’s maternal instinct could sometimes defy human reason, he feared how Dahlia would respond to losing the child because of him.
Thus, Selmon’s words had ultimately tripped him up. And as if sensing his hesitation, Jason had added his own remark.
“If your sole reason for believing the child in the mistress’s womb isn’t yours is merely that the conditions required for conception weren’t fulfilled… wouldn’t it be wiser to observe the situation a bit longer?”
Hadn’t he already observed enough?
Though he had known about the pregnancy from the start, he had neither interrogated nor pressured Dahlia. Yet she had used a maid to gather funds, and the Crown Prince had openly declared himself the father of the child.
What more was there left to investigate? He found Jason’s so-called advice almost laughable. And yet—
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
