Young Master Huo felt restless and went out for a smoke.
Afterward, Sister Li received a call from Bai ilan. She found a secluded spot and said to Bai ilan, "Bai ilan, what immoral thing do you want to do this ti?"
Bai ilan replied, "Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her before her child is safely born."
Sister Li retorted angrily, "Then why are you calling ?"
Bai ilan said, "Nothing much, just a reminder that we are in the sa boat now. If we succeed, we all succeed; if we fail, we all fail. Think about your son who’s in debt with loan sharks, and your daughter’s future. If you want everyone to be safe, you must obey completely from now on."
Sister Li took a deep breath, "What exactly do you want to do? Speak plainly."
Bai ilan said, "Huo Shaoyan suspects the child An Ge is carrying is his. He might conduct an amniocentesis DNA paternity test on An Ge soon. I need you to steal a sample of her amniotic fluid for ..."
Sister Li interrupted her, "Why do you need to steal Ms. An Ge’s amniotic fluid sample? What sort of sche are you involved in this ti?"
"Sister Li, don’t ask too many questions that don’t concern you. Otherwise, your son, who’s in debt, might end up in prison, and your daughter, who’s just managed to get into college, will have her future destroyed. Also, you’re involved in An Ge’s mother’s death. Just handle things properly for , and I won’t treat you poorly."
Ending the call with Bai ilan left Sister Li feeling uneasy.
In the days leading up to Ms. Wen Ning’s death, Bai ilan had instructed Sister Li to secretly inject an unknown drug into Ms. Wen Ning. If this matter were to be exposed, her entire family would be dood.
anwhile, Bai ilan and the others, having connections with soone as powerful as Huo Shaoyan, could probably destroy her entire family with just a few words.
At this point, Sister Li felt she had no way out.
But she couldn’t understand why Bai ilan wanted to steal An Ge’s amniotic fluid sample.
What could they possibly do with An Ge’s amniotic fluid?
Could it be... that the child An Baoying is carrying is not Young Master Huo’s, and it’s actually An Ge’s child that is his?
Bai ilan and the others might want to use An Ge’s amniotic fluid to deceive the DNA paternity test that was about to take place.
Sister Li was startled by this absurd idea, feeling a chill down her spine.
If the truth really was so, and she acted as an accomplice, she would truly be lacking in morals.
Feeling unsettled, Sister Li returned to An Ge’s hospital room. Young Master Huo had just finished his cigarette and returned as well.
He exuded a cold deanor and a nacing aura, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Sister Li, feeling guilty, dared not et his gaze. Just then, Young Master Huo called out to her, "You’ve been taking care of her daily needs, right? What does she usually do during the day in her room?"
Sister Li replied, "Ms. An Ge..."
Young Master Huo corrected her, "You should address her as Mrs. Huo."
Sister Li quickly changed her words, saying, "Mrs. Huo... she doesn’t talk much. Besides doing so needlework and writing or drawing, she mostly dazes out. Sotis, she’ll sit at the bay window on the balcony and zone out for an entire afternoon."
She paused, "Oh, she’s recently gotten into dancing. She dances very well in front of the mirror, as good as a professional dancer."
Huo Shaoyan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does she write or draw, usually?"
Sister Li said, "She writes all sorts of things. She copies scriptures in calligraphy, poems, essays, and even nas. She enjoys writing your na... Her drawings are pretty repetitive, just the back of a young boy, and you can’t tell who it is she’s drawing."
Huo Shaoyan felt a weight settle in his chest. After a brief silence, he said, "I’ll keep watch here. Go back and bring the things she writes or draws..."
"Um, she burns them all."
Huo Shaoyan’s voice suddenly rose, "She burns them?"
Sister Li hesitated to speak, finally saying, "I guess Mrs. Huo is not satisfied with her writing and drawings. She usually burns them to ashes the sa day she’s done with them..."
Huo Shaoyan pursed his lips slightly, "Got it. You can leave. Make so food and bring it over."
"Yes."
An Ge slept until noon before waking up.
Upon waking, she heard Huo Shaoyan talking to a middle-aged woman in a white coat.
"Ah Yan, to be honest, I agree with your mother’s idea. You should end your marriage with this Ms. An Ge as soon as possible and marry An Baoying. You can support her and her children of dubious origin, so why can’t you accept An Baoying?"
Huo Shaoyan’s voice was calm and steady, "Aunt, there are so things I can’t say in front of Mother, for fear she’ll accuse of being bewitched and make a scene. But you’re the top obstetrician at Jingcheng Hospital. Whether we’re talking about An Baoying’s child or An Ge’s child, I want you to take charge."
The middle-aged woman in the white coat was Jiang Qingyi’s mother; her na was Huo Nuan.
Because of the rumored past affairs between An Ge and Tang Jiuze, as well as recent gossip that they were getting involved again, Huo Nuan had no liking for An Ge at all.
Her voice was cold as she refused, "That’s impossible. I can take responsibility for An Baoying, but I won’t do the sa for soone like An Ge. Because of her, Tang Jiuze and Qingyi’s marriage is on the rocks, and you got into a brawl with Tang Jiuze because of her. Even if this demoness dies in the street, I won’t feel an ounce of sympathy..."
Huo Shaoyan interrupted her, "I suspect the child in her womb is mine."
The words Huo Nuan was about to say stuck in her throat. After a mont, she spoke through gritted teeth, "That’s absurd!"
Huo Shaoyan said, "Even you find it absurd. How could I tell such a thing to Mother? I don’t know how to explain it to you properly, but until the DNA paternity results from the amniocentesis for these two won co out, I hope you will treat them both equally."
He paused, "Don’t ntion this to Mother for now."
Huo Nuan left in a huff.
Once she was out of sight, Huo Shaoyan turned around and t An Ge’s gaze fixed on him.
An Ge propped herself up and looked at the man who had walked to her bedside, saying, "President Huo, at the very least, we’re still married. May I ask you for a favor?"
Huo Shaoyan leaned down and checked her forehead to see if her fever had subsided, then said, "Let’s hear it. What do you need?"
An Ge pressed her lips together and said, "If the DNA test from the amniocentesis reveals the child isn’t yours, could you... could you spare their lives?"
Huo Shaoyan replied almost without hesitation, "No. The Qin family’s seventy-two mbers all died at the hands of Scorpion. I won’t let his lineage live in this world. Allowing you to live is already my greatest concession."
An Ge closed her eyes, feeling a deep, dull pain in her heart.
She was silent for a while.
She was fourteen weeks pregnant now, and just a few monts ago, she felt a distinct movent from the baby inside her.
She wouldn’t allow her child to be taken away.
An Ge opened her eyes again, red-rimd, and looked at Huo Shaoyan, saying, "Huo Shaoyan, if you really do that to , I’ll show you I can die!"
Huo Shaoyan sneered, "An Xiaoge, you give yourself too much importance. How could your death threaten anyone? ?"
An Ge’s tears fell instantly, her eyes revealing a thick, unshakeable mixture of grievance and fury.
Huo Shaoyan remained indifferent, his voice still cold as he said, "I don’t even like you. Threatening with your worthless life is just stupid."
