Qiao Qiao Learns the Truth
Adam opened his mouth and tried several times, but he still did not have the courage to tell Qiao Qiao this matter. She should not have to endure such a cruel thing.
He clenched his fists tightly, but other than clenching his fists, he did not know what else he could do.
But Freya could see that Adam wanted to speak but stopped. She followed Adam's gaze and saw Qiao Qiao's abdomen. After a moment of thought, she straightened and said to Adam, "Right, Adam, I suddenly remembered that I have something to talk to you about. Come out with me for a moment."
Adam stilled. He saw Freya gently pat Qiao Qiao's shoulder and say to her, "I'll go out with Adam for a moment."
"En, I was planning on reading a book. You can go." Qiao Qiao nodded.
Freya's gaze had a trace of gentleness. Then she said calmly to Adam in an unquestionable tone, "Come out with me for a moment."
Adam followed Freya out the door. Qiao Qiao casually took a book from the bookshelf and prepared to soak in it for a night. But she suddenly saw the phone that Freya had left behind.
She smiled inside. Freya was sometimes muddle-headed when she heard it.
Since she had nothing to do, she might as well give the phone to her.
She stood and also left the door.

Freya and Adam went to a study where no one would disturb them. She had a servant girl bring her a cup of coffee. She savored the fragrance of the freshly ground coffee. Her gaze landed on Adam's pained face and she said, "Speak, did something happen to Lilith again?"
Adam's dark red eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. "Princess Consort?"
The corner of Freya's lips curled up slightly. "I'm not blind. Your actions today are clearly different from usual, and your gaze has been fixed on Qiaoqiao. Therefore, I'm guessing that this matter has something to do with Lilith."
A trace of suppressed pain flashed through Adam's eyes. He nodded heavily. "I received accurate news today. The necklace that Lilith wears will endanger her health, but if it is taken off, it will endanger Little Highness."
This time, it was Freya's turn to change expression. "Is the news reliable?"
Adam grimaced and nodded. "I think that this news is reliable."
He didn't believe that Eve would tell him such things for no reason. Perhaps Phillips had instructed her to do so, but since he had told him this through Eve, then he must have been fully prepared.
"In other words, between the child and Lilith, I can only choose one?" Freya narrowed her eyes.
Adam continued to nod. He lowered his head, hiding his expression in the shadows. He used a very low and calm tone to tell Freya his thoughts. "In addition, I will never sacrifice Lilith. Even if this will cause her to lose her important child … …"
"Then how about giving birth to the child now and then taking off the necklace?" Freya suggested.
Adam shook his head. "Doesn't that require a cesarean section? With Lilith's constitution, it will easily cause massive bleeding. She has very little platelets. She will lose her life! "
If the problem could be solved by a cesarean section, he would not need to be so conflicted. Now, the most important thing was how much damage the body would suffer after taking off the necklace. If the body continued to deteriorate, the platelets would decrease even further. If the cesarean section was performed, it would be over if there was a massive bleeding. Because there was no way to stop the bleeding. With the reserve blood stored in the Imperial Family, there was no way to save her.
Freya shook her head and continued, "Then you want Lilith to give up her child? I think, with Lilith's character, she would rather sacrifice herself to protect the child. If you force her, she will hate you for the rest of her life … … "
"Hate me if you want." Adam painfully inserted his hand into his hair and bitterly smiled. "If hating me can save her, then hate me."
He did not care how Lilith would treat him in the future. As long as she could be safe and live, everything would be worth it.
Freya could not ignore Adam's pain. She could understand what it felt like to be hated by the person you treasured the most. He was a good child and did everything to protect her daughter. He should not be treated unfairly. She sighed and then stood up. Walking to Adam's side, she lightly patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. There is no absolute safety in childbirth. A cesarean section may not cause Lilith to have massive bleeding. Don't think about the worst for everything."
"Wang Fei, this is a conspiracy. Phillips spent several months to set this up. I don't need your comfort right now. I need a practical solution," Adam reminded in a low voice.
"I know … …"
"If you knew, you wouldn't have said something like that!" Adam looked straight at her and said word by word, "I know Phillips. Since he made this move, then he must have considered all these possibilities. The probability of massive bleeding from a cesarean section is 100%!"
He completely believed that if Lilith gave birth to the Little Highness early, something would happen. So he would never try it!
Because of Adam's words, Freya could no longer be optimistic. "Then, does Family He know about this?"
"I've already told him, but Mr. He seems to want to keep both of them. I don't know what he's going to do, but I'll act according to my own thoughts." If everyone chose the children, he definitely wouldn't waver on his own decision. "
Frye was also touched by Adam's resolute attitude. She pressed between her eyebrows and said tiredly, "I understand. Don't worry, I have the same view as you. We must save Lilith. However, all of this has not reached the point of no return yet. Let's take Lilith for a check-up first and see what the doctor says. What do you think?"
Adam did not agree or disagree. His rationality was gradually being taken away by anger and murderous intent. He said pessimistically, "What's the use of a check-up? Lilith can't … … "
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the air. Adam's eyes flashed with surprise. Freya's two hands slapped his face, instantly bringing him back to reality.
Freya looked serious and said, "Adam, why are you panicking? I know you want to protect Lilith, but the child is already so big. If you abort the child now, Lilith will be in danger. If you don't carefully weigh the pros and cons, Lilith will still be in danger. Do you understand? "
Adam's mind shook.
He smiled bitterly. "I seem to be too pessimistic. Sorry, then let's take Lilith for a check-up first. If it's possible, I also want to save the Little Highness, but … …"
"I know how you feel. You don't have to explain anymore."
Freya sighed. "In short, don't let her know about this for the time being. Pregnant women's emotions are already unstable. This will agitate her and make things worse."
Adam nodded. "Then, let's leave it at that."
Outside the house.
Qiao Qiao leaned against the door. Because the door was ajar, she could clearly hear the conversation between Freya and Adam.
Between the child and her, he could only choose one.
And Adam had already decided to give up her child for her.
How could she? How could the child she was looking forward to be taken away so easily? She would never allow this to happen!
Before Freya and Adam left, Qiao Qiao quietly left the house.
She walked down the corridor with heavy steps and muttered to herself, "No, absolutely not. No one can take my child away from me. No one can!"
Qiao Qiao wrapped her arms around her abdomen. It was heavy and pregnant with two little lives. This was a gift from the heavens. She had to protect it well.
But why did this happen?
Her heart ached terribly. She was about to twitch, but she couldn't even cry. This was because the Doll Syndrome would deprive a person of all emotions. At this moment, Qiao Qiao was extremely glad that she had contracted this strange illness. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to control herself and cry.
