Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Despair Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Despair Chen ixi, in utter disarray, turned even paler, wearing a pitiful and heart-wrenching expression of sorrow.
“Liancheng, please don’t be like this to .
This child was not easily born; please don’t take him away; please, I’m begging you.
You can ask anything of , just please don’t harm my child!
I’m begging you!”
“Harm?” Ji Liancheng laughed, “Do you want to provide evidence of how you forced the induction?”
“…” Chen ixi was stunned, but she didn’t believe he could really produce any proof.
“Why don’t you tell us what happened?” Ji Liancheng said indifferently, turning his gaze toward the nanny who had been silent all along.
The nanny glanced at Chen ixi and then nodded at Ji Liancheng, “Yes…”
The nanny was actually on their side!
Chen ixi despaired the mont she heard her recount the events!
She had trusted her so much, and had even sent her to prepare the induction dicine.
In other words, the nanny knew everything.
If all this ca to light to the old Ji Family patriarch…
Chen ixi didn’t dare to imagine what would beco of her if he found out.
No matter the reasons, her insistence on having the child despite the risks was a persecution of the Ji Family bloodline.
The old patriarch might even conclude that she bore the child prematurely for the sake of wealth and status, disregarding the child’s safety, although she indeed wanted to have the baby sooner to climb the social ladder.
And now, with Ji Liancheng so valued and trusted by the patriarch, he could ruin her with re exaggerations.
By then, it wouldn’t just be a matter of using the child to advance; she herself would be in danger.
But letting them take the child away wasn’t an option either.
If they hurt her child, she would have no leverage left.
In any case, she had to keep the child with her!
“Liancheng, I’m asking you, can you return the child to ?
I only did this because I thought you were going to harm my baby, so I deliberately induced an early birth.
If you hadn’t threatened , I wouldn’t have done it; I really had no other choice!
Liancheng…”
“You can tell that directly to the old patriarch,” Ji Liancheng said coolly, cutting off her words as if he didn’t care one bit about her complaining, then he scoffed, “But rember, evidence speaks, right?”
“…” Chen ixi turned pale, grinding her teeth in silent fury.
Evidence?
She didn’t have any evidence; would Ji Liancheng ever leave himself open to such exposure?
If she had any proof, she would have already brought her grievances forward and wouldn’t have had to sneak around until now.
Even the old Ji Family patriarch didn’t know about the child’s existence!
After she beca pregnant, fearing persecution, she kept it secret, planning to go directly to the patriarch after the birth, ensuring no one could harm them.
But the news leaked, and once Ji Liancheng found out, he secretly ordered people to search for her and prevented any doctor from delivering her baby.
She had checked in secret; the baby was in an abnormal position, and without a proper hospital, she wouldn’t have a hope of giving birth.
But going to the hospital would have led Ji Liancheng to her.
She considered going to the patriarch to reveal her pregnancy, but she could no longer get close to him.
Moreover, the old patriarch had long been infertile, and this child was truly a miracle; if she approached them rashly, they would never believe her, and even if a paternity test was proposed, soone might interfere secretly, possibly even harming the child within her.
