Choose me or the children?
Every night, He Shaochen would call her punctually at ten o 'clock.
But tonight, it was already 10: 30 pm and the phone still hadn't rung. Qiao Qiao suddenly remembered what Adam had said. He Shaochen already knew about this. What would he do? Would he give up the children to protect her?
No, he wouldn't. He was the children's father. Just like her, he was looking forward to the birth of the children. He definitely wouldn't give up on these two children.
Qiao Qiao curled up on the bed, her hand clutching her chest tightly. It was so painful that she was about to suffocate. If she gave birth to the children, would she die? Because the inducing agent was running out. The next time the disease acted up, it would be the time of her death.
"Baby … Mommy doesn't want to die …" Qiaoqiao curled herself up even tighter. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, soft and low, but the ripples in her voice carried an uncontrollable pain. "Mommy still wants to see you all grow up. I don't want to see you all lose your mommy at such a young age …"
But according to what Adam had said, it seemed like the situation couldn't be reversed.
What should she do?
In the middle of the night, Qiao Qiao fell asleep in sorrow. She didn't sleep well, so she woke up when the door creaked open.
The cold air behind her made Qiao Qiao shiver. She opened her eyes abruptly and turned around. Her entire body was pressed into a warm embrace. That familiar scent calmed Qiao Qiao's rapidly beating heart. She clutched the other party's clothes tightly. With a suppressed voice, she said, "Shaochen, you didn't call me today."
"Yes, so I came personally." He Shaochen turned on the bedside lamp. The dim light shone on Qiao Qiao's exquisite doll-like face, making it impossible to see her emotions. He caressed her cheek and smiled faintly. "Why do I feel like you've become thinner again? Did you not eat properly? "
His deliberately relaxed tone didn't ease the atmosphere.
But Qiao Qiao didn't care. She shook her head. "I ate properly. For the children, I'll do my best to eat."
"Oh, good girl." As if taking care of a child, he gently rubbed her head. He was so gentle and so doting that Qiao Qiao almost couldn't recognize him.
But she didn't miss the struggle and pain in He Shaochen's eyes. It turned out that he was suffering like her.
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed by something. It was so painful that she almost couldn't breathe. She suddenly pressed He Shaochen's hand and placed it on her stomach. She closed her eyes and quietly told He Shaochen, "Shaochen, you should touch the children too. Do you know? There's a little one who's really naughty. He's always kicking around. I can even feel the shape of his little feet. He'll definitely be a troublemaker after he's born. On the contrary, the other little one is very quiet, but I can feel her strong heartbeat. Oh, it's amazing. They're clearly in the same stomach, but I can feel that their personalities are different … "
"Don't say anymore …" He Shaochen lowered his head and said faintly.
But Qiao Qiao acted as if she didn't hear him and continued, "Oh, I almost forgot. After the children are born, what should they be called? Although you said that these two children belong to the royal family of J Country, I still want to give them a name from A Country. What do you think should they be called? "
"Don't say anymore …"
"By the way, the last time I gave birth, I felt like I was going to die from the pain. I'm still a little scared now. Shaochen, can you accompany me when I give birth this time? If you're by my side, I might not be so scared. Can you accompany me, please … "
"Don't say anymore!"
He Shaochen pressed Qiao Qiao firmly into his arms. He leaned against her shoulder so that he wouldn't be afraid that she would see his expression at this moment. He stroked Qiao Qiao's long hair and said in a low voice, "Qiao Qiao, I love you. I really love you. You're the one who made me understand what unforgettable love is and let me taste the taste of happiness. So no matter what, I don't want to lose you."
Qiao Qiao's eyes widened. If it were in the past, she would have burst into tears. Thanks to the doll syndrome, she couldn't shed a single tear now. Even if her heart ached so much, she couldn't cry. This way, she could hide her emotions very well.
He Shaochen's neat suit with both hands. Because she used too much strength, her fingertips turned pale. She took a deep breath and said, "Shaochen, I love you too. When our children are born, they will love and respect you as a father. Don't you look forward to it?"
"I look forward to it more than anyone else! The death of my last child is the most regrettable thing in my life. I really want to see these two children born healthy. I will make them the happiest children in the world. As long as it's something they want, I will give it to them even if it costs me everything. The two of them are a gift from God. I love them very much … "
However, if these two children would endanger Qiao Qiao's life, he would choose Qiao Qiao.
He didn't dare to tell her this. Based on his understanding of her, she would definitely be angry.
Qiao Qiao bit her lower lip. Her heart was in a mess. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't find the words to ask. She shook her head and gently pushed him away. "Alright, it's enough to say such emotional words once. It's rare for you to come here, so let's play a fun quiz!"
"What quiz?" He Shaochen couldn't help but laugh.
"Ahem, then I'll start asking questions." Qiao Qiao pretended to be serious and cleared her throat. Then, she started asking questions.
"First question, do you like to eat fish or bear paws?"
"What kind of question is that?" He Shaochen couldn't help but laugh.
Qiao Qiao pinched his hand to show her displeasure. "Just answer my question directly. Don't ask so many questions!"
It was originally a rather serious topic, but after Qiao Qiao's teasing, he suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He Shaochen facepalmed. He actually answered seriously, "Fish. Bears are protected animals now."
"You have quite a sense of crisis," Qiao Qiao muttered. Then, she asked again, "Do you like apples or pears?"
"Pears."
"Do you like straight hair or curly hair?"
"Straight hair." Because she had straight hair.
"Do you like white roses or red roses?"
"White roses."
Because she liked white roses, he used white roses to decorate their wedding when they got married.
"Do you like pearls or jade?"
"…" He Shaochen hesitated for a moment. Because Qiao Qiao didn't wear pearl necklaces or jade bracelets, he casually said, "Jade."
Qiao Qiao asked a lot of meaningless questions.
"Do you like potatoes or tomatoes?"
"Tomatoes."
"Do you like butterflies or eagles?"
"Eagles."
…
The topic was getting more and more casual. He Shaochen didn't even need to think carefully and started to answer casually.
"Do you like the sky or the earth?"
"The sky."
"Do you like me or the child?"
"You."
Both of them were stunned by this answer.
Qiao Qiao's heart was pierced, but her expression didn't change. She slowly asked the last question, "Then, if the child and I fall into the water, who will you save?"
He Shaochen's eyelids twitched.
He was silent for a second and said slowly, "I'll save both of you …"
"What if you can only save one?" Qiao Qiao's voice was much lower.
"That's not possible!"
"What if?"
"There's no 'what if'!" He Shaochen suddenly raised his voice. Qiao Qiao was stunned. She lowered her head and said softly, "You're always so domineering and willful. Do you even know the rules? You can only choose one in this game. "
"It's your fault for not coming up with the questions properly!" He Shaochen's voice was slightly angry. At this moment, he was almost certain that Qiao Qiao already knew about this.
Damn it!
What was that Adam doing? Why did he tell her about this? Didn't he know that she was easily agitated at this time? Because of the doll syndrome, they couldn't even catch the changes in her emotions. If she had any thoughts, they wouldn't be able to detect it in time.
Both of them already knew about this, but neither of them had the courage to lift the veil. Although they knew that it was just a stupid thing to do, they still hoped that they would never have to face it.
This topic couldn't be continued, and the atmosphere instantly turned cold.
Qiao Qiao sighed and glanced at him. She asked, "Why are you suddenly here today? Aren't you busy? "
"No matter how busy I am, I want to see you with my own eyes. I want to know if you're doing well." He Shaochen leaned against Qiao Qiao's forehead and closed his eyes. He said calmly, "Tomorrow, we'll get the doctor to give you a thorough checkup. We can't be careless about the child."
Can't be careless?
Then he still wants the child?
Before falling asleep, Qiao Qiao held He Shaochen's hand tightly and said vaguely, "Shaochen, a mother can do anything for her child."
He Shaochen's heart skipped a beat.
He nodded slowly. "Yes, I know."
"Then promise me that no matter what happens, you'll protect this child, okay?" Qiao Qiao said carefully.
