Chapter 554 Pregnancy (10)
Fu Nancheng was silent, glancing at the surroundings of the house to understand that she probably couldn’t even gather enough money for the surgery."Since you’re not dead, why not go to Qiao Dehou?" Fu Nancheng asked again. After all, a year ago the Qiao family was not short of money. If they knew their daughter had been burned like this, Qiao Dehou would surely spend a fortune to hire the best doctors for her reconstructive surgery.
At this, Qiao Yun gave a bitter smile and said, "I’ve become like this. How could I go to see my father again? Besides, after the burns, I was in a coma for two years, and by the time I woke up, I had been lying in the hospital for another two years. Everything was already different. Moreover... I’m afraid my father wouldn’t want me to appear again."
Fu Nancheng frowned, always feeling that things were not as simple as she said.
"What was it with that text message from back then?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun avoided his gaze, seemingly unwilling to elaborate. She sighed lightly and said, "Just assume it was me who sent it."
His thin lips pressed lightly, and he asked no further questions.
At that moment, Fu Nancheng’s phone rang. It was Qiao Mo.
Glancing at Qiao Yun on the bed, he got up and went outside to answer the call: "Hello?"
Hearing his voice, Qiao Mo felt slightly relieved, "It’s almost eight-thirty, why aren’t you back yet?"
She spoke softly, with a bit of complaint.
"Still busy, it’ll be a while. If you’re tired, go to bed first." He gently advised.
"Okay... then come back soon."
"Hmm, have you eaten?" Fu Nancheng asked again.
"I have, just feeling a bit bored by myself." Qiao Mo sat on the sofa with her phone, almost unable to contain her excitement.
But no matter how many times the words were about to come out, she still wanted to tell him in person. To see his expression, to see if he’d be scared or surprised.
"If you’re tired, go to bed first."
"Okay... then come back soon."
...
After hanging up, Fu Nancheng turned around and walked back to the inner room.
Looking at him, Qiao Yun’s face looked a bit more haggard, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile for him: "Was it Xiao Mo’s call?"
"Yes." He responded.
"You guys... you guys... are getting married soon?" Qiao Yun gazed at him and spoke cautiously, her eyes filled with complexity and a hint of expectation.
"Yes, soon."
There was a distinct trace of disappointment in Qiao Yun’s eyes. She lowered her gaze and said softly, "It’s late, you should head back."
Fu Nancheng stared at her for a few seconds, and then slowly said, "I’ll come visit you another day. Tomorrow, I’ll have the doctor contact you to arrange the remaining surgeries."
With that, he turned to leave.
Qiao Yun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not get up.
His footsteps stopped at the entrance, and only then did she couldn’t help but speak, "Thank you."
Fu Nancheng’s steps paused slightly, but he did not turn back.
The woman who opened the door was called Aunt Yang by Qiao Yun, and she personally escorted Fu Nancheng out.
"Take care, sir..."
"Hmm."
Fu Nancheng opened the car door, and Aunt Yang couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Fu, please visit Miss more often if you can, it’s been tough for her all these years."
Fu Nancheng turned to look at her and asked in a deep voice, "Was it because of the fire that she didn’t come back then?"
"Yes." Aunt Yang nodded with difficulty, hesitating before she said, "Miss originally planned to go, but unexpectedly, someone discovered it and told the madam. The family was busy with a banquet at the time and had no time for her, coincidentally when the master was not around, so they locked her in the warehouse."
