Suspicions
She deceived herself and thought that it was just the paranoia she had during her pregnancy acting up again.
It turned out that the onlookers had also seen He Shaochen's sincerity.
What a joke.
Teresa was speechless.
She could not answer.
Her purpose in saying that was to induce Qiao Qiao's thoughts and deepen the conflict between the two of them so that their reconciliation would be for naught.
Teresa understood that these people were all good people. It was rare for them to be so pure even though they were born in the royal family. If she could, she did not want to hurt these kind people.
However, she would not give up on her mission because of their kindness.
It was because they were on different sides.
People with different beliefs could not work together.
When they reached the door, Adam and Eve happened to walk in. When Adam saw Qiao Qiao's dazed look and Teresa supporting her, he was shocked. "Lilith, what's wrong?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head gloomily. Adam's face darkened. His gaze fell on Teresa. "Why are you beside her? What did you do to her? "
"I didn't do anything …"
Teresa lowered her head and said softly.
Adam looked at her suspiciously. Although he was the one who had hypnotized Teresa, and he was also the one who had helped her recover her memories, Adam still felt that something was amiss.
There were slight differences from the hypnosis process. However, Teresa had always been well-behaved in the Holy Light Palace. She was also Ravel's beloved, so he could not say much.
He retracted his gaze and hurried forward to support Qiao Qiao. "Lilith, you look terrible. Did something happen?" he asked worriedly.
Qiao Qiao shook her head weakly. She raised her head and looked at Adam. Her eyes were sore. "I'm fine …"
However, the moment she spoke, her voice was hoarse. It was not convincing at all.
Seeing her like this, Adam's dark red eyes immediately darkened. He suddenly noticed the phone in Teresa's hand. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Why do you have my phone?"
Teresa's expression changed, and she subconsciously wanted to hide her phone behind her back. However, Adam grabbed her hand first. He used so much strength that it was as if he wanted to crush her bones.
"Why are you hiding it?" Adam felt that Teresa was more and more suspicious. He said word by word, "Lacey, if you dare to harm Lilith, I will definitely make you regret living in this world."
Teresa frowned slightly, and cold sweat had already appeared on her forehead. This man was much more sensitive than she had imagined. If there was even the slightest mistake, she would be dead for sure.
Just as Teresa was thinking about how to explain herself, Qiao Qiao pressed Adam's hand and said tiredly, "Adam, you don't have to blame Lacey. I was the one who asked her to do all this."
"Lilith, why?" Adam was surprised.
His gaze moved back and forth between Qiao Qiao and Teresa. In the end, his gaze landed on Teresa again. He asked suspiciously, "What have you guys been doing these days?"
Why had this woman who had never interacted with Qiao Qiao been by her side these days?
Adam could also clearly sense that Qiao Qiao's mental state was getting worse. He was sure that this was not a coincidence.
"Lilith, don't hide it from me."
Adam said in a deep voice.
Qiao Qiao looked at him with a bitter smile. "It's really nothing. It's just that I suddenly understood a lot of things and couldn't get used to it …"
She returned the phone in Lacey's hand to Adam and said indifferently, "Sorry for taking your phone without permission. However, we didn't do anything bad. You don't have to worry."
"… If you want to use my phone, just tell me directly. You don't have to hide it from me."
Adam's heart sank bit by bit. He knew that Qiao Qiao's Dollhouse Syndrome had not been cured. No matter how great the fluctuations in her heart were, it was difficult for her to show it. However, even the Dollhouse Syndrome could not completely erase the pain on her face. One could imagine how much pain she was feeling in her heart. How could she say that she was fine? Did she take him for a fool?
He scrolled through the chat history and found that there was a call record not long ago. She called He Shaochen?
"What did Mr. He say to you again?" Adam asked.
"Nothing …" Qiao Qiao's voice was indifferent. There was no fluctuation in her emotions at all.
"I don't believe it!"
Adam pressed Qiao Qiao's shoulder. Every time she became like this, He Shaochen definitely had something to do with it.
He must have agitated her again.
Qiao Qiao continued to shake her head. She looked at him and said in a very indifferent tone. There seemed to be a trace of a smile on her exquisite doll-like face, but it was a very sad smile. She said, "It's really nothing. He just said that he's sick of me now. That's all."
Adam was stunned. He thought that he had misheard. He Shaochen actually said such things to Lilith. Was he crazy?
"He really said that to you?" Adam's hands clenched into fists. There was a faint murderous intent in his eyes.
That man had always ignored Lilith and he had not settled the score with him. Was he going to make things worse now?
"Don't find trouble with him. This is a matter between the two of us. It's useless for outsiders to interfere." Qiaoqiao was already extremely tired these days, whether it was physically or mentally.
She rubbed her temples and said indifferently, "Sorry, I'm a little tired. I want to go back to my room to rest."
"I'll send you."
"No need. You must be very busy recently. It's fine with Lacey accompanying me."
Adam had indeed been very busy these days. The J Organisation's power was much greater than he had imagined. Many of its members had deep influence in the J Country. They had to make a lot of preparations to get rid of all these people. So these days, Adam paid less attention to Qiao Qiao.
He was vexed. Why did he ignore Lilith?
She was pregnant now and her mind was sensitive. He should have spent more time with her!
Adam held Qiao Qiao's hand and blamed himself. "Lilith, I'm sorry. After the J Organisation's matter is settled, I'll always be by your side, okay?"
Qiao Qiao saw Adam blaming himself and shook her head. She said, "You don't have to blame yourself. I'm not a child anymore. I need someone to always be by my side. Everything you're doing now is for my own good. If I still don't know my limits and blame you for not being by my side, then I'll be too willful."
"Lilith …"
Adam's heart twitched. Qiao Qiao's thoughtfulness made his heart ache.
He wanted to tell her that it was fine even if she was willful because he would tolerate everything about her. So there was no need for her to be so sensible, and there was no need for her to make herself sad for them.
However, Qiao Qiao did not give him the chance to say these words.
"Just in case, I'll say it again. Don't cause trouble for He Shaochen because of me. I've already been despised by him. I don't want him to think that I'm a shameless woman who keeps clinging to him."
She knew Adam too well. If she didn't say it in advance, she was sure that he would stand up for her. However, Qiao Qiao felt that it was meaningless.
If he really didn't love her anymore, even if she forced him to face her every day, he wouldn't love her anymore.
After all, love was a matter between two people.
What she needed to do now was to maintain a good mood and take care of her pregnancy. Then, she would give birth to the child safely. Only then would she live up to everyone's protection.
