Chapter 882 - Let Me Protect Her (1/2)

As Xiu had closed her eyes, the scene from earlier replayed in her mind. It was out of her expectations. Especially because of Zhou Jinhai's presence. She really didn't expect he'd be willing to pay for the crimes that two women committed in the name of protecting him and loving him. Maybe he felt like he really owed it.

As for what he owed Chen Xiu, even Xiu herself couldn't understand it at this moment.

She just sighed out as she caressed her stomach and whispered, ”Little Tiger, do you think mommy is heartless?” She never thought there would come a day when she wouldn't feel bad for others. She had always been a sympathetic person and always found that kindness was the grace. And yet, today, she was unable to show that kindness. ”Death has left your mommy a little cold. I can't bring myself to show warmth to those people who hurt your dad and me.” She smiled softly as she went on, ”But don't worry. I'll make sure to remove this coldness from this world so that I can give you a beautiful, warm, and kind world. You'll never have to fear these people.”

Bo Jiu craned her neck over to the front seat and said, ”Boss, you're really awesome!”

”You've said that already,” replied Xiu.

”I am not able to forget that scene. You're too handsome when you raised your bat. I have fallen in love with your bat. I feel like it's a mighty sight!”

Han Bohai also looked at Xiu briefly before he turned his attention back towards the road. He finally could understand why Ah-Si seemed so traumatized by Xiu's mighty bat. It was truly a sight that he won't ever be able to forget ever in his life.

”Xiao Bobo, keep an eye on Zhou Jinhai's condition,” said Xiu.

”You want to know whether he survives or not?”

”Of course,” replied Xiu. ”It's not like I want him dead.”

”His condition isn't very optimistic though. It's hard to say if he'll be able to survive or not. He got two bullets.”

”That's why I said, just let me know about his condition.”

After that, Xiu didn't say anything at all. She hadn't been able to sleep for so long and now that she found sudden relaxation in her heart, she instantly fell asleep.

”She fell asleep?” inquired Bo Jiu as she lifted her eyes from her laptop screen.

”Hmm...” Han Bohai hummed in reply.

”I heard that pregnant ladies like to sleep a lot but she hasn't been sleeping at all. So, I was quite worried about her.”

”She was forcing herself,” replied Han Bohai. ”Let her sleep now.”

.....

While Xiu had gone through this ordeal, Darren got the detailed report of the incident from the people he had left around Xiu. And the more he heard, the more his expressions turned ugly. He really regretted not being there with her. He couldn't even imagine what would have happened if she had been the one to get shot there. That's why he had been so against her decision to go there all alone.

But he had no way to stop her either. For now, he could only relax over the fact that she was safe. As for Zhou Jinhai...

”Keep an eye on his condition and keep me posted. Get the best doctors for him. No matter what, you better save him at any cost.” He instructed his subordinates before he hung up the phone. He really didn't think that his brother would get involved in this.

But he truly felt thankful that Zhou Jinhai saved Xiu. Even if it was unnecessary, he was still thankful. No matter what kind of relationship he had with Zhou Jinhai, he couldn't deny the fact that they were brothers. And he honestly never wanted to hurt Zhou Jinhai. It was because he never wanted to hurt his brother that he had never gone to confront Niu Peizhi for what she did to him.
