Chapter 938: Can’t Return (8)
He’s not coming back.
The moment Shu Jiao heard the news, her heart turned cold. She had always known that it was not so much the amulet that was protecting her daughter as it was Xiu Xi.
Now that he couldn’t return, her first thought was: what about her daughter?
But what she didn’t expect was for the aftermath to come so swiftly.
Looking at Ruan Jiaojiao’s pale face, Shu Jiao’s heart felt as if it was being seared on a flame. Her eyes darkened, filled with deep, cold light. She never denied she was a selfish person.
Especially now that this Xiu Xi was no longer the Xiu Xi he used to be! The Duan Family had no right to take him away from her daughter!
Ruan Jianguo went to ask the doctor about the situation and chatted with Dr. Yuan for a while. When he returned to the ward, he saw Shu Jiao sitting by the bed, her face gloomy.
"Wife." He sat down next to her, gazed at Ruan Jiaojiao and felt as sorrowful as could be, yet he comforted her, saying: "I’ve spoken to the doctor. Jiaojiao is all right, she may have some scars or minor disabilities in the future, but it’s okay, we have us."
Upon hearing this, Shu Jiao looked at him but asked ironically, "You think it’s all over?"
"What do you mean?" Ruan Jianguo’s heart skipped a beat.
Taking a deep breath, Shu Jiao said, "When Jiaojiao gets a bit better, I’ll take leave and go to Beidu to bring Xiaoxi back."
