Chapter 212: Scare Her
Fang Mu wiped Qiao Jiuyin’s body. The other people in the ward were women, so they did not go out to avoid arousing suspicion.
The hot towel wiped away the sweat on Qiao Jiuyin’s body, and she looked up at Fang Mu.
At least at this moment, he’s concerned about me.
Qiao Jiuyin suddenly could not feel any pain.
Qiao Jiusheng cut an apple into six small pieces and handed them to Xu Pingfei and Liu Yu. The two of them took the apple slices. They were about to eat the slices when they heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “When I came to the hospital, I heard a strange thing.”
Liu Yu asked, “What?”
Qiao Jiusheng had her back facing the window of the ward, and she faced the door. From the corner of her eye, she could see Qiao Jiuyin and Fang Mu on the bed. She noticed that Qiao Jiuyin was also eavesdropping and chuckled in her heart. Then, she continued, “Last night, our hospital lost something.”
A mysterious smile appeared on her face as she said this.
Xu Pingfei and Liu Yu looked at each other and could hear the deeper meaning in Qiao Jiusheng’s words.
What could the hospital lose?
The hospital only had only medical equipment and… bodies.
“What is it?” Liu Yu tightly asked.
When Qiao Jiusheng saw that Fang Mu was also paying attention to the conversation, the corners of her lips curled up. She said in a surprised tone, “I heard that we lost a stillborn last night in this hospital.” Qiao Jiusheng deliberately lowered her tone. Combined with the content of her words, it sounded a little creepy.
It was broad daylight, yet Qiao Jiuyin felt a chill run down her spine.
As soon as Qiao Jiusheng said the word “stillborn,” the expressions of the rest changed.
Qiao Jiuyin already had something on her mind. The moment she heard that she had lost the stillborn, she fell into a panic. However, she could not let Fang Mu see anything unusual, so she could only endure it.
Fang Mu frowned.
His sister-in-law was not a fool. She should not have mentioned this topic casually at this time; it was deliberate. Xu Pingfei and Liu Yu thought of Qiao Jiuyin’s miscarriage. They could not help but gently pull Qiao Jiusheng’s skirt and used their eyes to signal her to stop talking.
If she continued, Qiao Jiuyin would probably feel uncomfortable.
Qiao Jiusheng obediently stopped talking.
Seeing that Qiao Jiusheng had shut up, Qiao Jiuyin was about to heave a sigh of relief when suddenly, Fang Mu, who was wiping her neck, asked, “How did they lose it?”
Fang Mu had taken the initiative to ask. This was exactly what Qiao Jiusheng wanted.
She shook her head and said, “I only heard about it unintentionally. It was said that among the newborns born yesterday, there had been a deformed child. I think he was missing two toes on his left foot. It was quite pitiful. He was born a stillborn.”
Realizing that Qiao Jiuyin had become uneasy, Qiao Jiusheng sneered in her heart and continued, “Originally, the Medical University planned to use the stillborn as a baby specimen, but they realized that the stillborn was accidentally lost. Now, many people know that a stillborn was lost in the hospital.”
Even after hearing Qiao Jiusheng’s words, Fang Mu did not say anything, but his eyes were filled with coldness and suspicion.
Qiao Jiusheng saw Fang Mu remain silent and understood that she had achieved her goal. She knew Fang Mu very well. Fang Mu had a cautious and suspicious personality. What she had said just now had revealed many suspicious details. Following his suspicious character, Fang Mu would definitely investigate the truth.
Qiao Jiuyin was scared.
A deformed child missing two toes on his left foot, who was also a stillborn!
Every word pointed at the child she had ruthlessly abandoned.
Due to her guilt toward that child and her fear of others discovering the truth, Qiao Jiuyin’s back was covered in sweat.
“Are you very hot?” Fang Mu stared at her forehead with a gloomy expression and asked in a cold tone.
