Capítulo 742: Chapter 742: Was the Dessert Good?
Outside the hospital room, Gong Chen and the other two were discussing matters, while inside, Liu He had woken up.
She felt an exhaustion that followed excitent, her entire body weak.
“Zhiyi, do you think mom shouldn’t have had this child? Ever since being pregnant, I feel like danger is all around.”
“Mom, what are you saying? I saw the nursery you’ve prepared, it’s beautiful. The baby will definitely like it. You obviously love the baby, so don’t say such discouraging things. We’ll all be here with you.”
Lin Zhiyi pressed her mother’s hand against her own face.
Liu He apologized, “When you were little, I didn’t have these ans. Now…don’t be angry, okay? Don’t leave .”
“Mom, what are you talking about? I’m right here.”
Too many things had happened, and Liu He seed confused.
Liu He looked at her, “Mm, you’re here with mom.”
“Alright.”
“What did the doctor say?”
“Just…”
Lin Zhiyi explained simply, avoiding any severe details.
“Sugar? I rember the doctor specifically telling not to consu too much sugar.”
“Yes, that’s the point. But fortunately, it was detected early, so there’s no major problem. The baby has been calr now.”
Lin Zhiyi placed her hand on Liu He’s belly.
Liu He felt reassured after a mont.
“So who is trying to harm ?”
“I don’t know either. But right now, the most important thing is for you to safely give birth.”
Lin Zhiyi advised Liu He not to think too much.
When Liu He cald down, the door opened.
Gong Chen and the other two walked in.
“I have sothing to show you.”
The next mont, Chen Jin ca over holding a laptop.
Lin Zhiyi and Liu He exchanged confused glances.
But when the screen turned towards them, Liu He imdiately recognized the scene.
“This is…ho.”
Liu He looked up at Gong Shiyan, seeking answers.
Gong Shiyan explained, “I asked my assistant to return to the villa under the guise of retrieving so docunts and placed a cara there. If the person tampering with your dicine is from ho, they’ll soon reveal themselves.”
“How would they reveal themselves?” Liu He did not understand.
Gong Shiyan imdiately dialed the villa’s phone. The maid answered.
“Madam felt unwell after eating. We’re at the hospital now. Please tell the assistant to bring the nutritional supplents that Madam was taking to the hospital; the doctor needs to test them.”
“Okay, I’ll go get her right away.”
After hanging up, the maid imdiately went to find the assistant.
The assistant looked tense upon hearing this. It was unclear if she was worried about Liu He’s health.
Or concerned about being discovered.
Soon, the cara focused on the room.
The assistant took a bag from the cabinet, it already contained Liu He’s change of clothes and toiletries.
Liu He knew she was an older mother, and in case of issues going to the hospital.
The things she prepared herself would be more handy to use.
While everyone was watching the monitor, the assistant walked to the table and began to tidy up the dicine bottles.
She glanced around, then suddenly took a bottle of identical calcium tablets from her pocket and swapped it with the bottle on the table.
Liu He gasped, “How could it be her? I’ve always treated her well.”
“Mom, don’t rush, just keep watching,” Lin Zhiyi comforted.
On the screen, the assistant closed the door and made a phone call.
“What should I do? Madam is hospitalized, will it be discovered?”
“They asked to bring all the dicine she’s taking over.”
“Yes, I’ve already swapped it. You…who exactly are you? Giving so much money, can you really guarantee my safety?”
The person on the other end spoke sothing, and the assistant seed reassured.
The assistant disappeared from the scene.
Next, the scene shifted, showing Gong Shiyan’s assistant appearing at the family doctor’s place.
The doctor, upon hearing the need for information, acted quickly without hesitation.
So the one swapping Liu He’s dicine was that personal assistant.
Gong Shiyan analyzed, “From the assistant’s words, it’s clear she values money over people and has no idea who the other party is. Even if we catch her now, it’s impossible to completely prevent future occurrences.”
Gong Chen chid in, “So we might as well play along.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi felt relieved.
The fact they said this showed they must have a plan.
She turned to Liu He, “Mom, listen to Uncle and Third Young Master, they’ll surely protect you.”
Liu He smiled lightly.
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead. Sorry for the trouble today.”
“No worries, have a good rest, we’ll head back now.”
Seeing Liu He look exhausted, Lin Zhiyi suggested they leave first.
“Be careful on your way.”
…
Su He Bay.
Lin Zhiyi had had a turbulent day, and after changing into slippers, felt as if stepping onto cotton.
Gong Chen helped her sit on the sofa, then asked the housekeeper to help take Xingxing for a bath.
As soon as Lin Zhiyi sat down, the man’s hands lifted her legs and placed them on his knee.
She quickly pressed his arm, “What are you doing?”
“Aren’t your feet sore from wearing high heels? It’s affecting your strength.”
“I… you noticed it.”
Lin Zhiyi looked at her slightly swollen feet.
Today, for attending a wedding, she had deliberately worn a pair of high heels she rarely wore.
They were truly beautiful.
But a beautiful torture device.
After only an hour, her toes felt uncomfortable.
Now looking at them, her toes seed a bit red.
Seeing Gong Chen directly reach out to press, she hesitated with embarrassnt.
“I haven’t washed my feet.”
“I’ll disinfect them after massaging,” Gong Chen said matter-of-factly.
“Disinfect…isn’t that a bit extre?” Lin Zhiyi blinked.
“Then why are you asking?”
Lin Zhiyi choked slightly, not having thought of a coback, when suddenly her foot ached.
“Ah…that feels good.”
She elongated the last word, leaning back comfortably onto the sofa.
Since Gong Chen wasn’t bothered, she had no reason to mind herself.
“Zhiyi, since it feels so nice, shouldn’t you return the favor tonight?”
“What? I don’t understand what you’re saying,”
Lin Zhiyi feigned ignorance.
Gong Chen raised an eyebrow, suddenly leaning towards her.
He lifted her chin, pulling her towards him.
“Lin Zhiyi, are you trying to cheat again?”
“I…”
Lin Zhiyi was about to bluff when she looked down, noticing the hand on her chin, and imdiately widened her eyes.
“Third Young Master, which hand did you use?”
Gong Chen released his grip, chuckling slyly, “The foot-massaging hand.”
“Ah!”
“Want to sll it? Do you dislike yourself?”
Gong Chen raised his hand closer.
The two started playfully scuffling.
Soon, Lin Zhiyi’s phone buzzed.
She urged, “Third Young Master, go wash your hands first.”
Gong Chen agreed and headed to the washroom.
Lin Zhiyi opened her phone; it was a ssage from Fu Shu.
「Miss Lin, did the dessert suit your taste? If you liked it, I’ll bring so more next ti.」
Dessert?
Lin Zhiyi’s mind was foggy for a few seconds, then rembered Gong Chen’s words from earlier.
Fu Shu had brought dessert.
She looked up just as Gong Chen ca out of the washroom.
“Third Young Master, did you ask soone to throw the dessert downstairs because you knew Fu Shu was waiting there?”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure Fu Shu saw it?” Lin Zhiyi asked.
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“She asked if the dessert suited my taste. Seems like she’s worried I wouldn’t know she ca looking for you.”
Lin Zhiyi stared at the ssage, contemplating how to respond.
