Chapter 574: A murderer’s child (2)
It was almost a ridiculous joke when Xiehan said it out aloud. "At first, her plan was to accuse you of sleeping around and getting yourself pregnant by another man. She would have achieved it and the posts about you and Lin Jian getting together behind my back would have proved her accusation right."
She hummed in realization. So that was the main reason behind the posts. She had wondered why Ji Meiling would use up so much effort and go into so much detail with it. It turned out, it had to convince one man who would probably be too furious to try and check the authenticity.
"She thought that if we had a DNA test, it would only prove that my baby is indeed not yours, right?" She guessed.
"That’s right. When she realized that there is no way you would cheat on me and knew that I trust you more than anything, she switched tactics. She must have investigated and found that you were not unnecessarily close to any man around the time when you got pregnant, so she knew that it’s my baby and started plotting ways to make you have a miscarriage."
She thought back to the day she had gone shopping with Luna and Xiaoshi, when she had revealed that she did not want to buy clothes before her baby was born as she was uncomfortable with the idea. Within five minutes, Ji Meiling came in and bought her baby boy clothes.
It had seemed like an awful coincidence before but now she was convinced that Ji Meiling had done it to upset her.
"But doing that will never bring her child back to life." She pointed out.
"It wouldn’t." He sighed tiredly.
"And it still wasn’t your fault. Even if you had hit her with the ball or anything, it would still be an accident. She did strenuous exercise on her own. I don’t believe for a second that a few rounds of ball was enough to make her have a miscarriage. She would have felt some pain but that would be it. The fact that it died so easily could only mean that she had been straining herself for a while or the baby had not been healthy enough to begin with."
"Try telling her that. She is set on believing that it was my fault and I need to pay for my crime. No matter what happened, she will forever try to murder my child to get even for what I supposedly did."
"That sucks." She hugged him. "I’m sorry."
