Qiao Qiao's Suspicions
He Shaochen forbade anyone from spreading what the doctor had said to him that day. Not only that, he also ordered that anyone who spread the news of Qiao Qiao's infertility to Qiao Qiao would regret living in this world.
No one dared to doubt the authenticity of He Shaochen's words, and no one dared to speak out of turn and tell Qiao Qiao the truth.
As for Mother He, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary. She seemed to have really listened to He Shaochen's words.
This matter seemed to have been sealed away.
Another few days passed peacefully.
Today.
He Shaochen had just rushed back from the company. Recently, he had been trying his best to accompany Qiao Qiao as much as possible. There was a lot of work piled up in the company. He Shaochen would still be called back when he encountered something that Ling Yu couldn't make a decision on.
However, he would always finish it in the shortest time possible before returning to Qiao Qiao's side to accompany her.
He walked into the ward and saw Qiao Qiao in a daze as she stared at a pocket watch.
"Qiao Qiao …"
He Shaochen called out to Qiao Qiao, not expecting her to respond.
But for the first time, Qiao Qiao actually responded this time. She slowly turned her head and looked at him. Her expression was so calm as she said, "Shaochen, can you help me find the woman in this pocket watch?"
She opened the pocket watch. Inside were photos of Freya and Luo Vino.
He Shaochen saw the person in the photo clearly and his face froze for a moment. He walked over and asked, "You, why do you have this thing …"
What were the people guarding outside doing?!
Why did this damn thing appear in her hands?! Damn it!
Obviously, He Shaochen already knew what that pocket watch meant.
"Oh, Charles VII gave it to me." Qiao Qiao lowered her head and looked at the pure gold watch in her hand. She didn't expect that after so many days, this thing still hadn't dropped.
Qiao Qiao had never believed in fate, but now, she felt that there was something guiding her, giving her a chance to grasp the rope of the truth.
And this pocket watch was the beacon.
Her gaze was slightly cold and there was not much expression on her face. She calmly narrated, "Charles VII seemed to have specially come to see me. He even said that this pocket watch originally belonged to me. In the end, a group of J Country people rushed over to kidnap me that day. Those people even called me Your Highness. I suspect that these two matters are related, and the woman in the pocket watch is the key."
He Shaochen sat on the edge of the bed with a slightly stiff expression. He asked, "Why do you think this woman is the key?"
"Because I've seen her before. Her name is Freya." Qiao Qiao's voice was calm, as if she was talking about the weather. She then smiled and said, "Don't you think it's a coincidence? Freya, this name is actually the same as the late princess consort of J Country. "
He Shaochen's expression changed and he said in astonishment, "When did you see her?"
Qiao Qiao narrowed her eyes at his reaction. "Shaochen, have you seen this woman before?"
"You're thinking too much …"
He subconsciously lied.
Qiao Qiao sat up on her knees. She was sitting in front of He Shaochen and her hand gently touched He Shaochen's handsome face. Her amber eyes were slightly cold as she said, "Shaochen, are you also hiding something from me?"
"No."
"But you shifted your gaze away …"
"…"
He Shaochen didn't know what to say. He held Qiao Qiao's hand tightly and asked, "You don't look normal. Are you sick?"
After spending so much time with Qiao Qiao, He Shaochen could sense that something was wrong with Qiao Qiao.
"I'm not sick." Qiao Qiao shook her head and allowed He Shaochen to hold her hand. She smiled and said, "I can't always be immersed in sadness. As long as we live in this world, we have to look forward."
Even so.
He Shaochen looked at Qiao Qiao and felt his heart ache.
He used his other hand to brush away Qiao Qiao's hair that was hanging by the side of her face. There was an indescribable gentleness in his voice as he said, "I'm just worried that you'll hurt yourself too much.
"I won't."
Qiao Qiao's voice was very calm. Her gaze could be said to be very gentle. With a faint smile, she said word by word, "I will definitely avenge my child!"
He Shaochen's heart thumped when he heard this. He looked at her blankly and his heart suddenly sank.
"Qiao Qiao …"
"You haven't told me if you've already met this woman." Qiao Qiao asked with a smile on her face.
Since He Shaochen had already caught those kidnappers, with his ability, he must have gotten a lot of information from those people. Perhaps, he had already uncovered all the mysteries.
He Shaochen sighed under Qiao Qiao's persistent gaze. "I wanted to wait for you to be in a better state before we talk about this …"
The truth was too sudden. She was afraid that she couldn't accept it.
"I'm in a very good state now!"
Qiao Qiao said stubbornly.
"Really? I don't see it. " He Shaochen pressed Qiao Qiao's shoulders and said seriously, "I only see that you're forcing yourself. Qiao Qiao, don't be blinded by hatred."
"Pa!"
Qiao Qiao coldly slapped He Shaochen's hand away. Anger rose in her heart for no reason. She angrily said, "He Shaochen, can you not always beat around the bush? Is it so difficult to tell me the truth? I'm not a little white flower that can only rely on you to survive! "
Her child was dead.
She couldn't continue to be muddle-headed like this. She must find out the truth. Those kidnappers kidnapped her. What was their purpose? She must find out!
"…"
This girl was indeed pretending to be calm.
He Shaochen saw that Qiao Qiao suddenly became agitated. He had a plan in his heart.
Not telling her the truth now was the right decision. She was still very agitated. If she knew those things, she would definitely collapse.
It was better to let her come into contact with such a dark world as late as possible.
He Shaochen stroked Qiao Qiao's hair and said in a dreamy voice, "Qiao Qiao, after a while, I will definitely tell you the truth. Now, you should take care of your body, okay?"
It was an expected answer.
Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes.
He knew everything but still kept her in the dark. Qiao Qiao knew that everything He Shaochen did was for her own good. But she couldn't accept the kindness that was forced on her.
But she also knew that if He Shaochen didn't want to tell her, it would be too difficult for her to find out the truth by herself.
Now, she could only pretend to be obedient and let He Shaochen let down his guard. Then, she would look for Freya herself. Anyway, she knew where she lived. It shouldn't be difficult to find her.
Qiao Qiao planned to do so. Hence, she nodded obediently and smiled at He Shaochen. "Okay, I know. I will take care of my body first."
He Shaochen didn't know what to do. She actually gave in so easily.
He Shaochen couldn't help but be wary of her docility.
Qiao Qiao obviously knew what he was thinking. She held He Shaochen's hand and hooked her pinky with him. "Let's pinky swear. I will definitely be obedient."
"Qiao Qiao …" He Shaochen said. He couldn't find any trace of sadness on Qiao Qiao's face. He didn't believe that she had thought things through so easily.
"What are you trying to say? I don't believe that you will be so obedient. "
"…"
"What do you want to do? Don't hide it from me, okay?" He Shaochen held Qiao Qiao's face and stared at Qiao Qiao's amber eyes, trying to find something.
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but be stunned. She should have known. How could He Shaochen be fooled by her words? She clutched the hospital gown tightly with both hands and said lightly, "Actually, I want to see those robbers."
He Shaochen's expression didn't change. He decisively refused. "No."
"Why!"
Qiao Qiao was agitated again.
He Shaochen stroked her face and said calmly, "Your body has just improved. Those people are vicious killers. They will hurt you!"
"They won't." Qiao Qiao answered decisively.
He Shaochen narrowed his eyes and asked, "How can you be so sure that they are the culprits who killed our child? How can you be so sure that they won't hurt you?"
"Yes."
Because the purpose of those people was to bring her back to J Country safely. When her stomach hurt, the man called Jack still wanted to take her to the hospital. It was obvious that they didn't mean to hurt her.
At least, they wouldn't endanger her life.
The ones who really wanted to kill her were the people who had been chasing her. The real murderers of her child were also those people.
"Even if you say so, I won't take you there."
He Shaochen wasn't moved by Qiao Qiao's words at all.
"Shaochen!"
"This matter is not negotiable. Before you really recover, I won't reveal anything to you."
He Shaochen stood up. His expression was very resolute. "Today, I will go back to the company first. Have a good rest and don't think too much."
With that, he was about to leave.
"You're not allowed to leave! He Shaochen, stop right there! "
He Shaochen had just taken a few steps when Qiao Qiao jumped off the bed barefoot and grabbed his clothes. Her expression was more sorrowful than angry as she said, "Shaochen, do you have to treat me like this? Our child is dead and you won't even tell me who the enemy is. You won't even give me a chance to take revenge … "
"… I didn't mean that." He Shaochen said hoarsely as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.
He only wanted to protect her now and not let her suffer the slightest bit of harm.
But what Qiao Qiao needed now wasn't protection at all!
She grabbed He Shaochen's sleeves tightly as tears fell drop by drop. She begged, "I beg you, Shaochen … I beg you, don't do this to me …"
She couldn't help but cry in the end.
The pain of losing a child was really heart-wrenching. She felt that her heart was about to split open.
If she didn't find something to divert her attention, she suspected that she would really collapse. It was too painful and she couldn't take it anymore.
"Qiao Qiao …"
"Shaochen, I beg you, let me do something. Otherwise, I will really go crazy."
