Xia Ling looked up and shot him a glare.

He could feel her eyes penetrating him and hurriedly added, “Don’t involve your sister in your bad deeds, she won’t be able to rest in peace in Heaven.” Although Xia Yu claimed to be innocent, and that the incident was not actually caught on the surveillance camera, Xiao Ling had said that she was pushed from behind. In that case, either Xiao Lin was lying, or Xia Yu was the culprit.

Xiao Ling was Xia Yu’s biological sister. Though this was her second lifetime, there was no reason for her to drama Xia Yu this way. It was such a joke when Xia Yu mentioned that Xia Ling had “fallen over with his child” when the child wasn’t even his flesh and blood!

This thought gnawed at Pei Ziheng continually, and this coldness was reflected on his face.

Xia Yu looked at him and felt afraid by his expression, but that did not stop her from tearing and whining. “Brother Ziheng, I’m really innocent…”

Her acting was so convincing that even Xia Ling was impressed. At that point, there was even a moment Xia Ling actually doubted herself and thought hard about whether someone really did push her, or was it nothing more than a delusion?

She looked toward Xia Yu sarcastically.

Xia Yu hated that look, but she could not retaliate in front of Pei Ziheng. She chose to act as the vulnerable one instead.

Xia Ling felt the thrill fade.

Well, the water had been splashed, there was no way she could go further and hurt Xia Yu.

She turned to Pei Ziheng. “Let’s go.”

Pei Ziheng followed her out of the ward.

The two of them walked side by side on the quiet, empty corridor.

“I told you to get more rest, you’d recuperate better,” Pei Ziheng said gently as he put his arm around her shoulder. “Why didn’t you listen? Leave it to me to punish the murderer.”

Leave it to him?

Punish the murderer?

Xia Ling felt a dull ache in her chest. She remembered the murder case of Wang Jingwan and how she had cried her heart out and declared her innocence. He did not believe her.

Even now, he still did not.

A man so opinionated and absorbed in his ideas, did he really love her enough?

Thankfully, she had awoken from that nightmare and escaped that cruel reality.

She carefully placed her hand over her stomach. “I have some anger in me that I can’t dispel, and I want to punish the people who’ve hurt me personally. Otherwise, what if she hurts my baby next time?”

At this point, Pei Ziheng really wished that Xia Yu had managed to get rid of the baby. He found Xia Yu so foolish and incapable, how could she fail at causing a miscarriage even by pushing somebody? Now, the onus was on him again to think of a way to get rid of the baby.

While plotting in his head, he appeared even more tender on the outside. “Let Nanny Zhou boil you some ginseng chicken soup tonight to build your strength.” This way, her body would be able to bear it during the abortion surgery.

Xia Ling did not know about his terrifying idea, and hence, smiled gently at his thoughtfulness.

Her smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower, catching the eyes of anyone close by.
