I'll give up on His Highness!
Adam stayed in the room for a long time before he finally composed himself and prepared to call He Shaochen.
Because he also knew that this matter was not up to him alone. At the very least, he should let the child's father know about this matter. He also had the right to speak.
He took out the phone that he used to communicate with He Shaochen and leaned against the window. His dark red eyes stared at the screen of the phone. The blue and white light reflected in his eyes brought with it a hint of coldness. In the empty room, there was only an endless stream of cries.
After a while, the call was connected.
"Is something the matter?"
A slightly cold voice rang out from the other end of the phone, sending chills down one's spine, as if they were in an ice cellar. Adam exhaled, paused, and then said to He Shaochen, "Mr. He, I'm deeply sorry for disturbing you when you're so busy …"
"I'm very busy right now. There's no need for such formalities."
During the time he had been on the floating island, his Family He had undergone a huge change. His Clan had been fighting for the position of the head of his Clan. Although he had Father He to shoulder the burden, with so many people surging forward at the same time, he was somewhat powerless. Now that He Shaochen had returned, it was to resolve the mess he had left behind.
But even though he was terribly busy, he still kept his promise with Qiao Qiao. No matter how busy he was, he would call her every day.
The endless meetings made him feel irritated. He shouldn't have picked up the phone, but when he learned that it was Adam calling, he decided to make an exception and pick it up.
However, every time this man called, nothing good would come out of it.
Adam took a deep breath and asked in a very calm tone, "I'll only ask you one question. Do you want the child or Lilith?"
"Thump." His heart skipped a beat. He Shaochen's hand paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. His face immediately darkened. "Speak clearly. What happened?"
Adam smiled bleakly. "Thanks to you, Lilith is now facing a difficult problem. If she keeps wearing the necklace without the inducing agent, it will take her life. But if she doesn't wear it, the child in her womb will rapidly weaken. Even if it's born, it will only be two stillbirths. So now I'm asking you, do you want His Highness or Lilith?"
He really admired himself for being able to speak in such a calm tone. But what he didn't expect, He Shaochen on the other end of the phone was even more silent than he was.
Time seemed to stop completely at this moment.....
For a long time.
"I want both!"
When Adam heard this answer, he almost laughed out loud. This person's answer was always unexpected.
He put a hand in his hair and slowly said, "I'm sorry. This time it's not a multiple-choice question. The child or Lilith, you have to choose one!"
"Adam, I'll kill you if you joke about this kind of thing!" He Shaochen's voice was very calm. It was so calm that there was no fluctuation in it. It didn't sound like a warning, but more like a statement of fact.
Adam smiled bitterly. He also hoped that this was just a joke. However, Phillips didn't do anything at all. He was completely silent. He found it strange at first, but after hearing the news from Eve, he suddenly understood the reason behind Phillips's actions.
He was waiting. He was waiting for them to set up everything and then destroy it again.
"I also hope that all this is just a joke, but I'm sorry. That necklace has brought Lilith an unavoidable multiple-choice question. Let's talk about my plan first. I will never let anything happen to Lilith, so I plan to give up on the Little Highnesses."
He also loved the two little lives that hadn't been born yet. However, in the face of a multiple-choice question with Qiao Qiao, he would choose Qiao Qiao without hesitation.
There was absolutely no need to hesitate.
"If this miscarriage happens again, it will be very difficult for Joe Qiao to get pregnant again!" He Shaochen's voice was gloomy and cold, with a hint of ruthlessness.
"I know!"
Adam's hand that was holding the phone was trembling. His voice was mixed with suppressed anger. He lowered his head, and his golden hair fell from his fingertips, covering most of his handsome face. "It will be very difficult for Lilith to get pregnant again. If this miscarriage happens again, I know better than anyone how much it will affect her!"
During Qiao Qiao's pregnancy, the person who stayed by her side the longest was him!
He knew better than anyone how much she cared about the two children. "But that necklace can't be worn anymore. Before things become irreversible, we have to let Lilith take off the necklace. The inducing agent is about to run out. Do you want to see Lilith being plagued by illness again? She will die! Do you want to watch her die? "
"Thump." His heart was hit hard again.
Qiao Qiao's appearance when she had heart failure, her appearance when she was suffering from thirst and blood thirst, her appearance when she was unable to extricate herself, her appearance when she was suffering from Doll Syndrome, her appearance when she couldn't even express her basic emotions. All of these were engraved in He Shaochen's heart, making his heart twitch. She had suffered too much. He had tried his best to protect her, but it was useless.
She was already in a miserable state with her illness. Was that not enough? Why did they have to take away her most cherished child again? If that was the case, why did they give her hope in the beginning? Why did they take it away again now?
Adam didn't get a reply from He Shaochen, so he continued, "Make a decision within a week at the latest. I'll say it first, if you want children, from now on, I will do everything possible to prevent you and Lilith from seeing each other. No matter how much she loves you, no matter how much she begs, I will never let you have the chance to see each other, because you don't deserve it!"
With that, he hung up the phone.
He Shaochen directly threw the phone out.
Secretary General Ling Yu saw that He Shaochen had not returned to his office, so he went out to look for him. He happened to see He Shaochen's violent side. That gloomy face and the cold air around him made people flinch.
Ling Yu instinctively felt that something had happened.
He took a deep breath, stepped out, and walked towards He Shaochen, reminding him, "He Shao, do you still want to continue the meeting?"
Then, Ling Yu saw a side of him that he would wake up from his dreams many years later.
At that time, He Shaochen didn't seem like a human at all.
Just by staying by his side, he felt like he couldn't breathe, as if the air in his body had been sucked out. That kind of intimidating pressure made it difficult for Ling Yu to even raise his head. At that moment, Ling Yu truly understood how scary He Shaochen was when he was really murderous.

Even though the outside world was already raging with storms, Adam still pretended that everything was calm.
The current Qiao Qiao was undoubtedly the happiest. Her lover, child, and mother were all by her side. Even if she still had doll syndrome, it didn't matter to her because she was someone who was easily satisfied.
Adam couldn't bear to tell Qiao Qiao such a cruel truth, because it was too unfair to her.
Holy Glory Palace.
Only Freya and Qiao Qiao were there.
"Since that Phillips is confirmed to be a Red J, why don't we start with him first? Not only can we deal a heavy blow to the J Organisation's strength, but we can also use this opportunity to take back your power, killing two birds with one stone." Freya suggested.
Qiao Qiao's hand unconsciously touched her stomach. The two little lives were very lively inside. She lowered her eyes and said indifferently, "I also thought of starting with Phillips, but he has many subordinates. Plus, he has been in power for the past few months. If we touch him, it might cause chaos. Isn't the G12 International Annual Conference going to be held in the capital? At such a crucial time, if we make a big scene, we will be laughed at by other countries. "
The G12 International Annual Conference was a group meeting for developed and emerging countries to promote financial stability and sustained economic growth.
Whether it was for J Country or other countries, it was of great significance. Qiao Qiao didn't want to cause trouble at this time.
"There are still two months before the conference. We have more than enough time to get rid of him. Lilith, you don't have to worry so much." Freya knew that Qiao Qiao had too many things to worry about. Sitting in the position of Queen, even if she didn't do anything, there were still countless eyes staring at her. One could imagine the pressure.
And her sense of responsibility didn't allow her to do anything willful. Freya sighed, stroked Qiao Qiao's head and continued, "Lilith, don't give yourself too much pressure. We have made full preparations. Whether it is A Country or J Country, we have planted spies. The most terrifying thing about the J Organisation is that we don't know how many members they have and who they are. But now we are also working on this. The current J Organisation is not as strong as you think. As long as they start to take action, we can use the fastest speed to suppress them. So, Lilith, don't be afraid."
"… Mm." Qiao Qiao nodded. Her doll-like exquisite face was still expressionless. She held Freya's hand and said, "I believe in you. Now I only need to take care of myself and the children. I won't let myself become a burden to you."
Freya smiled. "My Lilith is always so understanding. That's right, the most important thing for you now is to take care of the pregnancy. Leave the rest to us."
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock on the door.
Both of them turned their heads.
"Who is it?"
"It's me." Adam's voice was very low.
"Come in."
Freya said.
The door slowly opened and Adam walked in. His gaze unconsciously fell on Qiao Qiao's protruding belly. He suddenly realized that Qiao Qiao's belly was already so big. Inside were two little princes who were basically fully developed. They were the little lives they had been waiting for.
But these two little guys were going to take away their mother's life …
How could he?
How could they take away the lives of the people he had sworn to protect for the rest of his life? He would never allow this to happen!
"Adam, what's wrong?" Qiao Qiao saw the strange expression on Adam's face. She tilted her head and asked curiously.
Adam came back to his senses. He saw that Qiao Qiao and Freya were looking at him in confusion. He was stunned and immediately adjusted his emotions. He disguised himself with a smile and said, "It's nothing. By the way, Lilith, how are you feeling? Is the little prince well-behaved? "
Qiao Qiao's expression did not change, but there was a smile in her eyes that was about to overflow.
She nodded and said, "The children are very well-behaved. Freya and I just went for a check-up today. The doctor said that the children are very healthy. When they are born, they will be more energetic than other babies."
Her words revealed her anticipation for the children that were about to be born.
Doll Syndrome would deprive the patient of their emotions. Not only the expressions on their faces, but also the emotions in their words. However, because of the children, Qiao Qiao's condition had been improving bit by bit. At least, one could more or less hear the changes in her emotions from her words. This was all brought about by the children.
