Stealing Your Heart Chapter 96

Yu Doudou looked at Lin Xinyan, who stood by the window, and said, “We have a common enemy.”

There was a moment of silence.

Guan Jing felt even more interested. He bent over and leaned towards Yu Doudou. “Tell me about it.”

Zong Jinghao’s head remained lowered as he continued playing with Lin Xinyan’s hand. His eyelashes fluttered slightly when he heard Yu Doudou mentioned that he had a common enemy with Lin Xinyan.

His thumb repeatedly brushed on the back of her hand.

It was not a complicated matter, yet not an easy one too. It was difficult to explain the entire matter within a few sentences.

Yu Doudou thought about it. “Let me start from the beginning. I met Ms. Lin when I was trying to get a customer. She was extremely shocked when she saw me. She seemed to know me, but I did not know her back then…”

Yu Doudou explained how he had met Lin Xinyan. “My brother died six years ago. Before he died, he was paid to knock someone down, and to cover it up as a car accident—” He looked up at Lin Xinyan before he continued. “Ms. Lin was the one who was injured. She was lucky. Her cab driver died, and she was severely injured.”

Lin Xinyan curled her fingers and her hands were wet. Yu Doudou’s words were peeled her wounds from the past and exposed it to the air. It was painful.

There were pieces of the car stabbing into her flesh, and it was near the tailbone. If she did not have surgery, it would have pressed onto her nervous system and cause her to become paralyzed. She would definitely need anesthetic for the surgery, but she was pregnant back then and could not have anesthesia.

If she did, it would affect her baby.

She wanted her baby well, and also did not want to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

She could not afford to be paralyzed. Who would take care of her children?

Who would take care of Zhuang Zijin when she grew old?

She could not be paralyzed.

She could not give up on her children. She could not bear to part with them, especially after she found out that they were a pair of twins.

The moment they started growing in her womb, they were connected to her in flesh and blood.

As long as she was here, they must be here.

She could not give up on them.

In the end, she chose to have the surgery without anesthesia.

Whenever she thought about the pain of her flesh tearing apart, she still trembled viciously, as if she was experiencing that indescribable pain once again.

She almost fainted from the pain, but pregnant women could not pass out. She had to stay conscious, or else her babies would be harmed.

The women who had caesarean delivery knew that the anesthesia only affected lower down of their bodies. Their heads were clear the entire time.

It was the same just like her needing to be conscious now.

She did not want to think about it. In fact, she wanted to forget about it. Yet the pain was immersed deep in her memory. She could not forget it.

And whenever someone mentioned about it, she would remember it in clear detail.

It was just like now. It had been six years since then, the indescribable pain still crashes into her like the violent waves in the sea.

She clenched her hands abruptly.

Zong Jinghao realized her unusual behavior and looked at her. He saw that the strands of hair by her ears were soaked with sweat. She was nervous, she was in fear.

Haunted by bad memories, she was being dragged into terror.

He reached out and hugged her. His large hands caressed her back, comforting her. “Don’t be afraid.”

Lin Xinyan closed her eyes and buried her face into his chest.

His breathing and his firm chest seemed to be soothing. Lin Xinyan slowly calmed down.

This was the first time she exposed her vulnerable side to him.

Zong Jinghao’s heart skipped a beat and hugged her tighter. His lips touched the top of her head.

“The person who bribed and killed my brother and the person who crashed Ms. Lin was the same person. That was why we have a common enemy. We agreed on cooperating with each other today. I’ve only seen Ms. Lin about three times. This time, she needed to get a car, and she wasn’t familiar with the cars here, so she had asked me for help. That’s all.”

Guan Jing rubbed his nose and took a secret glance at Zong Jinghao.

He was comforting Lin Xinyan and was not looking at him.

He let out a sigh of relief, and asked, “You know who that is?”

Yu Doudou nodded honestly. “Yes. It’s a woman from the He family. She has some connections, so it’ll be difficult to turn the tables for this case.”

From He family?
