Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry.
Unfortunately, He Shaochen had asked someone to check the ingredients of the two tonics that Mother He had brought over. They were indeed beneficial for pregnant women and did not contain any harmful ingredients.
Auntie Qiao's face instantly turned deathly pale.
She looked at He Shaochen in a panic and wanted to say something. "Shaochen, I, I …"
"Madam Gu, you are trying to drive a wedge between Shaochen and me. Unfortunately, the truth will not be determined by your words. Please take your entire family and get out of our Family He!"
Mother He's heart was filled with joy.
Due to the previous argument, they had completely fallen out. She had been suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart and tolerating the Qiao Family. Now, she could finally kick this family out of the house.
"But, Qiaoqiao's morning sickness was indeed so strong after she drank those tonics." Auntie Qiao was a little anxious. Actually, she wasn't sure, but her intuition told her that there was something wrong with the medicine.
But the test report was written in black and white and there was nothing wrong with it. She was instantly dumbfounded.
"Young Madam's body is weak. As time passes, it is not impossible for her to experience morning sickness to become more intense. We have already asked several doctors to check these two prescriptions. There is nothing wrong with them. Don't worry."
The doctor who was checking the prescriptions held the test report and spoke in a businesslike manner.
"Humph, Madam Gu, what else do you have to say now?"
"I, I …" Aunt Joe did not know what to say. She looked at He Shaochen pleadingly, hoping that he would speak up for her.
He Shaochen was concerned about Aunt Joe's influence in Qiao Qiao's heart. If he allowed the Qiao Family to leave like this, he was afraid that Qiao Qiao would be sad.
He was just about to speak up for Aunt Joe when Mother He's shrill voice sounded. "Shaochen, whose side are you on? This woman slandered me and you helped her. Now that the truth is out, you're still helping her. Who is your mother?! "
"You're all my mothers."
He Shaochen replied coldly.
"She's not your mother. Shaochen, are you crazy?" Mother He shrieked and continued, "If you continue to side with that woman, I'll take it that I don't have a son like you! Do as you see fit! "
After saying that, she glared at Aunt Joe as if she was facing an enemy.
Aunt Joe cried until her eyes were swollen like walnuts. She sobbed and said, "Shaochen, this is Aunt Joe's fault. Don't argue with your mother anymore. I'll go back to D City."
He Shaochen looked deeply at Aunt Joe, and then saw Mother He's eyes that looked as if she wanted to skin him alive. He said indifferently, "Alright, Aunt Joe, you should go back first."
Aunt Joe nodded while crying.
Before leaving, she went to Qiao Qiao's ward to take a look. The tears that she had tried so hard to hold back flowed out again.
She took a deep breath and turned to He Shaochen. "Shaochen, Aunt Joe will go back. You must take good care of this child. She has a bad temper sometimes. You have to bear with her. She has suffered too much."
He Shaochen nodded solemnly.
"Aunt Joe, I'll take good care of Qiao Qiao."
Aunt Joe continued to nag. "Qiao Qiao is still pregnant. Pregnant women can't stand anger. Don't quarrel anymore, okay?"
"I won't quarrel with her again."
"Aunt Joe, I know you are busy with work, but if you have time, you should spend more time with that child. You couldn't find her recently. Although that child didn't say anything, I know that she must be feeling wronged. You …"
"Madam Gu, if you continue chatting, it will be dark soon."
Mother He reminded her coldly.
Don't think that she didn't know that this Auntie Qiao wanted to play the emotional card. How could she let her scheme succeed?
Aunt Joe retracted her words awkwardly. She looked at Mother He and smiled sheepishly. "In-law, I have wronged you just now. I apologize. Please don't take it to heart and don't take it out on Qiao Qiao."
A cold smile appeared on Mother He's well-maintained face when she heard this.
"Madam Gu, Qiao Qiao is pregnant with Family He's grandson. Even if I am displeased, I will not take it out on her. Please don't measure the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure."
Mother He's words made Aunt Joe feel even more embarrassed. She seemed to be even more inferior.
"Then I will take my leave."
"Aunt Joe, let me give you a ride." He Shaochen said.
Aunt Joe waved her hands. "No, no, it's okay. I can just hail a cab. You can stay here and keep Qiao Qiao company."
With that said, Aunt Joe looked at the hospital bed reluctantly. Looking at the unconscious Qiao Qiao, tears welled up in her eyes again. She covered her mouth and fled in a hurry.
Mother He was unmoved. She only felt that the eyesore was finally gone.
After staying in the ward for a while, Mother He also left. He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao were the only two people left in the spacious ward.
The ward, which had been like a wet market, regained its usual tranquility.
He Shaochen sat on the edge of the bed and stroked Qiao Qiao's tiny face. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
Child.
Adult.
Could it be that only one child could be saved?
If Qiao Qiao knew the truth, what choice would she make?
She would probably choose the child. After all, she loved children so much. But how could he allow such a thing to happen? No matter what she had to sacrifice, he wanted her to live well.
After a long while.
He Shaochen planted a gentle kiss on Qiao Qiao's forehead and murmured, "Qiao Qiao, I can't lose you. Absolutely not, even if the child is the price …"
After being in a coma for a whole day, Qiao Qiao slowly woke up.
"The child!"
That was the first thing she said when she woke up.
Her scream also startled He Shaochen, who was lying on the side sleeping. He looked at Qiao Qiao, who was panicking and touching her belly, and said calmly, "Don't worry, the child is fine."
Hearing this, Qiao Qiao's agitated emotions eased a little. She turned and threw herself into He Shaochen's arms. She said with lingering fear, "Shaochen, my belly suddenly hurt. I thought I couldn't keep the child."
What responded to her was a suffocating hug.
It was so strong that Qiao Qiao thought her bones were going to be crushed.
It hurt.
"Shaochen? What's wrong with you? "
Qiao Qiao was surprised by He Shaochen's actions. She thought that her sudden coma might have scared him. Before she could calm herself down, she comforted him in a low voice, "Shaochen, I've made you worry. Don't worry, I'm fine now."
He Shaochen didn't say anything. He just hugged her quietly, as if he wanted to hold her until the end of the world.
Qiaoqiao knew that she had made He Shaochen worried again. Thinking back to the time when she was just joking, He Shaochen was already so scared. This time, it was true. He Shaochen would probably feel even worse.
"Shaochen …"
Before she finished her words, He Shaochen's voice came over her. "Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry."
"En?"
