If You Could Hear My Heart

“I beg you, I beg you, you must save my child, save the child,” Jian Sisi’s voice was weak, her speech faltering.

“We will do our best.” The nurse couldn’t make any promises and said only that.

“No, you have to save him, please save him, my baby, I want my baby, my baby must not be in trouble,” Jian Sisi said with a sob in her voice.

Her entire face was colorless, her lips even paler.

By the time she was pushed into the operating room, she was unable to speak; experiencing waves of agonizing pain in her abdomen, she passed out.

The man waited anxiously outside the operating room, powerless to do anything but pace back and forth.

He was waiting for Xiao Mo to arrive…

Xiao Mo rushed to the hospital as fast as he could!

He parked his car directly at the entrance of the hospital and sprinted up to the operating room.

“Secretary Xiao!” The man’s eyes lit up as he saw him arrive and hurriedly went to meet him.

“How is the situation?” Xiao Mo asked, frowning.

“She’s been taken into surgery, it doesn’t look very promising,” the man said.

“I understand,” Xiao Mo replied, brow furrowed.

He knew that Jian Sisi’s child was not Shen Chi’s, but he still had to come and confirm for himself.

“Secretary Xiao, what should we do now?” the man asked.

“Wait.”

“If she happens to miscarry, do we still detain her?”

“What do you think?” Xiao Mo shot a cold look at him.

The man’s heart skipped a beat, and he nodded, “I understand, I understand.”

Xiao Mo and the man stood waiting outside the operating room. It was the middle of the night and nobody roamed outside the operating room.

Xiao Mo watched his surroundings with utmost vigilance, unwilling to overlook any detail.

“Don’t let anyone know about detaining Jian Sisi!” Xiao Mo instructed the man.

“Rest assured, I definitely won’t,” insisted the man.

Time ticked by. At one point, a doctor came to ask Xiao Mo for a signature; he signed it on behalf of someone else.

Jian Sisi dared to betray President Shen; she would certainly not have a good end.

After a long time, the operating room door opened, and as soon as it did, they heard Jian Sisi’s crying.

“You killed my child, give me back my baby…”

Though she lacked strength, her cries were heartbreaking, leaving several young nurses looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

“Miss, please don’t be too distressed; you can get pregnant again, but you must rest well after the surgery,” a doctor said.

The implication was to persuade Jian Sisi not to speak and exhaust herself, harming her body in the process.

But Jian Sisi wouldn’t listen; even though she was pale and her words came out weakly, she still wanted to cry.

“Why didn’t you save my child, he could have survived, you are murderers…”

The doctor shook her head: “Miss, you came too late, the child couldn’t be saved.”

When Jian Sisi was wheeled out of the operating room, she didn’t see Xiao Mo standing by, until he stood right in front of her, which finally silenced her incessant crying.

She fell silent, frightened; she hadn’t expected Xiao Mo to be there.

It was supposed to be the middle of the night, why would Xiao Mo be there?

But it took only a moment for her to compose herself, and the tears began to flow down endlessly.

“Secretary Xiao, they killed my child… It’s President Shen’s child; this is President Shen’s child ah… Secretary Xiao, please help me, ask President Shen to close this hospital down, can he close it down, please?” Jian Sisi cried.

Xiao Mo remained impassive, his face indifferent.

Jian Sisi attempted to grab the hem of his clothing, but he stepped aside, avoiding her touch.

But his cold gaze did not avoid her.

“Jian Sisi, say it again, whose child is it?” Xiao Mo asked coldly.

“President Shen’s, it’s President Shen’s, I already said so last time!” Jian Sisi yelled with all the strength she could muster.

She didn’t know why Xiao Mo would suddenly ask such a question; could it be that he had discovered something?

Since she had played the part, she had to see it through to the end.

Xiao Mo was getting impatient and said coldly, “Some people only face reality at the sight of their own coffin!”

The nurse by their side frowned, “Miss, you’ve just had surgery, don’t exert yourself too much. We’ll take you to your room; you should maintain a pleasant mood.”

Soon, the nurses wheeled Jian Sisi into a ward, and this time, Xiao Mo did not stop them.

However, he stopped Jian Sisi’s doctor.

His expression was cold, his arm blocking the female doctor’s path.

The female doctor didn’t dare move, glancing at the retreating Jian Sisi and then back at Xiao Mo.

“Come with me,” Xiao Mo said crisply, leaving just a few words hanging in the air before turning and heading towards a resting room.

It was deep into the night, all around was quiet, especially outside the operating room where the silencing stillness was interrupted only by the footsteps of Xiao Mo and the female doctor echoing along the corridor.

Xiao Mo entered the rest room, and the female doctor followed him in.

As soon as she came in, Xiao Mo closed the door of the rest room.

“Sir, is there anything you’d like to ask?” The female doctor looked up and took the initiative to speak.

“How did the surgery go?” Xiao Mo inquired evenly.

“No issues, but the child couldn’t be saved.”

The female doctor was perplexed about the relationship between this man and that woman; relationships among young people today were complicated.

She adjusted her glasses, and her small eyes peered at Xiao Mo through the lenses.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Mo asked, “A boy or a girl?”

“The fetus was already formed, a boy,” the doctor reported truthfully, “it’s a pity.”

“How many months was the child?” Xiao Mo asked.

The female doctor seemed a bit surprised; didn’t this man know how far along the pregnancy was?

“Four months,” the female doctor said.

“Okay, I got it.”

“Then sir, if you’ll excuse me,” the female doctor said, nodding before walking out of the rest room.

Xiao Mo took a moment to cool down, no mistake, Jian Sisi’s child was four months along; it definitely couldn’t be Shen Chi’s.

As for whose it was, he had no need to know.

Probably, President Shen had no interest in knowing either.

However, he hadn’t expected Jian Sisi to be so bold, daring to deceive even President Shen, claiming to carry President Shen’s child.

Fortunately, at the hospital, Shen Chi hadn’t immediately terminated the pregnancy; otherwise, Shen Chi might have never known the truth.

This woman had quite the nerve.

For someone like Jian Sisi, the outcome wouldn’t be good.

Once Zhuo Fan was dealt with, the next one would definitely be Jian Sisi!

After pondering for a long while, Xiao Mo left the rest room to collect all the documentation from the surgery.

He needed to bring back this information for Shen Chi to see.

While Xiao Mo was looking over the documents, a thought suddenly struck him: if Jian Sisi dared to even fabricate a pregnancy, could it be that on that night in Paris, she was also lying?

This woman’s acting skills were top-notch, but as long as there are lies, there will be a slip-up eventually!
