Don't try to hide it from him!
Based on the current situation, publicizing Qiao Qiao's condition would only do more harm than good. It would only give the J Organisation a chance to spread rumors. Hence, Freya ordered that the results of the report should not be made public. The doctor was also one of them and would not spread the news.
"Don't overthink it. We've already gone through so many trials and tribulations. We'll definitely be able to overcome this obstacle." Freja saw that Qiaoqiao was silent because she was still worried about her body.
She also knew that this matter could not be avoided. Even if she gave birth to the child early and removed the necklace, the effects of the necklace on her body would not disappear. She was too naive to think that the strengthening agent could slow down the deterioration of her body. However, the facts now proved that she was wrong.
Even with the strengthening agent, the effects would not last for long.
Qiao Qiao did not want to appear too pessimistic. She nodded heavily. "Yes, I know. Don't worry, I won't take it too hard."
"What a good child."
Freya kissed Qiao Qiao's forehead.
After being comforted by Freya, Qiao Qiao's mood was not as gloomy as before. However, she still felt a little sad about the organ failure.
Freya comforted her for a while before leaving. During this period, she had been operating behind the scenes. Freya had a set of precise plans on how to deal with the J Organisation, how to appease the citizens, and how to balance the two parties. However, there were many areas where she had to personally oversee. This caused her to be very busy every day. Qiao Qiao did not want Freya to be distracted by her concern. Hence, on the surface, she appeared very calm.
However, only she knew if she was really calm.
After tasting the taste of happiness, Qiaoqiao felt that it was too much to ask her to throw away her life.
She stared at her phone for a few seconds before deciding to call He Shaochen. The phone rang for a while before it was finally connected. "Hello, is this Shaochen?"
"Ah, Young Madam? I'm He Shao's secretary. My surname is Jiang. He Shao is in an emergency meeting now. If there's anything urgent, I'll call him now. " He Shaochen's assistant had been promoted to Secretary General after Lingyu's promotion. During this period of time, Secretary Jiang had been by Shaochen's side.
"Emergency meeting? Did something happen again? "Qiao Qiao's heart tightened. She even forgot about her own affairs.
Secretary Jiang felt that Qiao Qiao was not an outsider, so he told her the truth. "Recently, the senior executives of our company have been attacked frequently. The whole company is now in a state of panic. Many people have already submitted their resignations. He Shao is gathering the top management to discuss countermeasures."
"Malicious attack?" Qiao Qiao's heart sank. She didn't expect something like this to happen to He Clan's branch. "Is the situation very urgent?"
"Uh … I guess so." In Secretary Jiang's view, this was already a very urgent situation.
It was the first time that He Clan's employees had been attacked on such a large scale. If it were in Country A, the government would have already dispatched personnel to investigate and deal with it. However, J Country was not Country A, and He Clan's privileges were limited to a certain extent. Coupled with the scandal that broke out, the people of J Country were very unfriendly to He Clan. The government also turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything. This made the problem even more uncontrollable.
He Shaochen didn't tell Qiao Qiao about this. He was afraid that she would blame herself.
Secretary Jiang didn't know about this and tried to persuade her. Qiao Qiao's face darkened with every sentence that she heard. She had clearly told those people that He Clan would never do illegal live experiments. However, no one listened to her. They even hit her when she was down behind her back.
There were definitely many people who obeyed in public but disobeyed in private.
The situation in He Clan's branch had become so difficult to control because of her incompetence.
If her means were a little stronger, if she could persuade the higher-ups, He Shaochen wouldn't be in such a difficult position.
Why was she so useless as a queen?
The more Qiao Qiao thought about it, the more she blamed herself.
"Young Madam, if you have something urgent to look for He Shaochen, I'll call him now," Secretary Jiang said.
Qiao Qiao recovered from her thoughts. She had originally decided to tell He Shaochen about her deteriorating health, but now she couldn't say it. He was already burdened by her. Did she want to add more trouble to him when he was so busy?
She didn't know if it was because of her low mood, but Qiao Qiao felt that her body was getting more and more uncomfortable.
She suppressed the pain, took a deep breath, and hinted to herself.
Didn't Freya also say it? Her research laboratory had sped up the development of a strengthening agent without side effects. As long as she had that strengthening agent, her body wouldn't deteriorate anymore, so there was no need to tell He Shaochen about it, right?
Don't disturb him anymore.
Qiao Qiao silently said to herself, and then said, "No, I thought about it. It's not too important. Since he's so busy, don't call him."
"Is that really okay?" Secretary Jiang asked with uncertainty. He always felt that Qiao Qiao had something important to say. Why did she suddenly change her mind?
"Well, that's it. I'll hang up first."
Qiao Qiao hung up the phone. She despised herself for looking left and right, but she really didn't have the courage to tell He Shaochen that something had happened to her again. She didn't want to add fuel to the fire.
She leaned on the table and buried her head in her hands.
What should she do?
…
"Just carry out this plan," He Shaochen said to the executives sitting at all levels.
"Yes."
"That's all for today. Meeting adjourned."
After formulating the emergency countermeasures, He Shaochen walked out of the meeting. Secretary Jiang immediately came up to him. "He Shaochen, Young Madam just called."
"Oh? Qiao Qiao? " He Shaochen was a little surprised. He was worried that something had happened, so he asked, "Why did she call?"
Secretary Jiang shook his head. "Young Madam didn't say. She said it wasn't anything important, but I felt that she sounded quite anxious. Maybe something happened."
He Shaochen frowned. Since something had happened, why didn't she say it?
He handed a document to Secretary Jiang and ordered, "Execute according to plan A. Arrange for someone to do it."
Secretary Jiang put away the document and nodded. "Yes."
He Shaochen returned to his office and called Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao looked up when she heard the ringtone. Her eyes were red. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was He Shaochen. She was a little surprised that he would call her at this time, but she still picked up.
"Hello?"
When she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was hoarse.
He Shaochen was stunned when he heard Qiao Qiao's voice. "Are you crying?"
"No! I'm not crying! "Qiao Qiao quickly denied.
"Qiao Qiao, don't try to hide it from me. If I want to know, you can't hide it from me." His tone was a little sterner. He didn't seem to be joking with Qiao Qiao at all.
He knew Qiao Qiao's personality. She wanted to solve things on her own. She didn't like to trouble others. It was good to be independent, but he didn't want his wife to be independent. She could rely on him more. Even if she didn't do anything, he would completely spoil her.
Qiao Qiao: "…"
Indeed, this matter couldn't be covered up. Even if she didn't say it, Freya and the others would definitely tell He Shaochen.
However, she still didn't want He Shaochen to know that she was depressed. Qiao Qiao tried to make her tone sound more relaxed. She said to He Shaochen, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that there might be some small problems with my body …"
He Shaochen felt his heart stop for a second. Even though Qiao Qiao sounded so relaxed, he was very concerned about her health. "What happened?"
"It's just that I often feel dizzy, and sometimes my body will feel weak …"
"That's it?"
He Shaochen didn't believe Qiao Qiao at all. If that was really the case, why would she cry? It was definitely not as relaxed as she made it out to be. "What else?"
Qiao Qiao: "…"
"Qiao Qiao, don't make me ask others."
"… Today, I asked the doctor to give me a full body checkup …" Qiao Qiao paused for a long time. He Shaochen was a little impatient. "And then?"
"And then the doctor said that my organs are failing."
This time, it was He Shaochen's turn to fall silent again.
Qiao Qiao couldn't stand the silence. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Haha, although it sounds serious, mother said that the strengthening agent developed by her research lab will strengthen my body, so you don't have to make a fuss …"
But no matter what she said, He Shaochen still relaxed. He said without hesitation, "I'll come to the Holy Glory Palace right away."
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She was a little surprised, but she also felt that He Shaochen's actions were not appropriate. She bit her lip and frowned. "That's not good. We're already in the teeth of the storm. If you come to the Holy Glory Palace, there will definitely be more people maliciously slandering you."
"Do you think I care about those people? The worst case scenario is to disband He Clan's branch. In the end, those people will be the ones to suffer! " He Shaochen didn't care how serious the matter was. It was even more impossible for him to give up his seriously ill wife for the so-called company!
He had already made a mistake once. There was no reason for him to make the same mistake a second time.
Qiao Qiao still wanted to persuade him, but He Shaochen asked in return, "Or are you afraid of being involved with He Clan with a bad reputation, so you don't want me to come?"
"How could I possibly think that?"
It was impossible for her to reject her husband for the so-called reputation and support rate!
"Isn't that right? Wait for me. I'll be right there. "He Shaochen hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Qiao Qiao didn't have time to say anything else before the phone was hung up.
This person was still talking to himself and didn't give anyone a chance to refute. However, Qiao Qiao seemed to be relieved. She felt that her mood was no longer as gloomy as before.
He Shaochen soon came over.
"Shaochen."
As soon as Qiao Qiao's voice fell, He Shaochen had already hugged her.
He hugged her so tightly that she almost couldn't breathe. Qiao Qiao shrank into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist to feel his breath.
He Shaochen rubbed her hair and pressed against her head. He whispered, "Qiao Qiao, I won't let anything happen to you."
"Okay."
Qiao Qiao had already heard this sentence from many people. He wouldn't let anything happen to her and would definitely protect her well.
However, after hearing so much, she was still terrified.
