C5 (2/2)

”Child... My child. ” Qiao Xia's heart suddenly tightened. She abruptly sat up and looked at the pale-white sickroom before her.

The door to the ward was opened and a middle-aged woman walked in. Qiao Xia recognized her. She was the Liang family's servant, Sister Lin. She had served Liang Zhendong for more than ten years.

Seeing Qiao Xia sit up, Madam Lin hurried over and pressed her shoulder. ”Miss Qiao, you just finished the operation and should quickly lie down. Otherwise, your body will be sick in the future.”

However, Qiao Xia couldn't care less. She tightly held onto Madam Lin's arm and anxiously asked, ”Sister Lin, where is my child? Where is my child? ”

Sister-in-law Lin stammered but did not reply. She kept on comforting Qiao Xia not to get too excited.

This situation caused Qiao Xia to panic more and more. She pushed Aunt Lin away and removed the needle from the back of her hand, shouting hysterically, ”I want to see my child! Give my child back to me!”

Her face was bloodless, and her ears were ringing. She could not even make out what Aunt Lin was saying. Qiao Xia's mind was filled with thoughts of her newborn child. She could not help but think of how cold-blooded Liang Zhendong was. Yet, she still warned herself time and time again that he would definitely not do such a thing.

When Sister Lin saw Qiao Xia lose control, she wanted to comfort him, but how could Qiao Xia listen to her? She could not help but blurt out, ”Miss Qiao, please think of something.”

His legs went soft and his entire body fell to the ground. The cesarean section that Qiao Xia had just closed split open again and blood suddenly spilled onto his clothes.

She was trembling in pain. She didn't even have the strength to stand up. However, the pain in his body was far from the pain he felt in his heart.

Her child...

Sister Lin wanted to help her, but the door suddenly opened. He Wanqing's sudden appearance caused her to freeze in place …

Having followed Liang Zhendong for so many years, he did have a good eye for discernment. Now, Sister Lin clearly knew which was more important between He Yanqing and Qiao Xia.

He Sanqing didn't say a word. She signalled to Sister Lin with her eyes, and obediently left, closing the door behind her.
