Chapter 286: Chapter 286 I Want to Take a Gamble_1

The doctor told her that the blood clot in her brain had dissipated, but she still couldn’t see.

At this moment, she should be grateful that she still couldn’t see, otherwise how could she resist the urge to look at him.

"What’s wrong?" Mu WuXie asked, holding the child and hesitating with his hand mid-air, ready to hand the child over.

She agreed to give birth to the child, he had thought she had changed her mind, so why was her attitude toward the child still so rejecting and indifferent?

"I’m a bit tired," she said, turning aside, dismissive.

"Alright, you rest well. It’s not safe here anymore. I’ll move you and the child to another place after a while."

After she decided to keep the child, he had taken her to the United States.

He had thought that after some time, it would be safer, but since the whole incident started until the child was born, and more than half a year passed, they were still desperately searching for her on the outside.

In the past six months, he had Jinmulin deliberately mislead their pursuers, shifting the focus entirely on her so that he could temporarily avoid trouble.

However, Jinmulin had recently sent word that he could no longer keep the situation under wraps.

And with him staying in the United States to accompany Xiao Qiao for the past few months, Gu Hangshen would surely become suspicious and investigate.

So he had to move them to a safe place as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiao spoke up, "I’ll go alone."

"And the child?"

"I can’t take him with me."

"Why not?"

"No reason,"

"So what do you plan to do with him? Send him to an orphanage or leave him on someone’s doorstep?"

"I want to gamble once."

The conversation that day ended on a bad note; she didn’t explain what she meant by her last sentence.

She was unwilling to take the child with her, yet she didn’t say what she would do with him.

Sitting all day in the small courtyard shaded with trees, zoning out, Mu WuXie was left with no choice but to sit next to her every day with the child. So close, within arm’s reach, yet she never once reached out for the child.

As time went on, the baby had started to distinguish the sources of sounds.

He could gazed at you intently, and when happy, he would even grant you a sweet smile.

What thrilled Mu WuXie the most was that in the last few days, the baby had begun to produce simple sounds like "mm-hmm," "ahh," "yi yi" and "ya ya."

He loved being held in his arms, sitting next to Xiao Qiao, especially calm at those times.

Often, he would curiously look at Xiao Qiao, humming to her with "yi ya," undeterred by her lack of response, tirelessly repeating himself.

Days like this quickly passed for more than a month.

He initially planned to send her away as soon as the child was born, but now the plan had been inexplicably put on hold, unsure of what she was waiting for.

Both Xiao Qiao’s sight and the baby’s future arrangements made Mu WuXie anxious.

Mu WuXie walked into the courtyard, looking at her, contemplating these matters, thinking about how to ask her.

"Senior brother?"

She suddenly spoke up, snapping the daydreaming Mu WuXie back to reality, "What is it?"

"Listen."

"Listen to what?"

"Is the baby crying?"

Mu WuXie listened, then immediately ran into the house, returning a moment later with the child in his arms.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry!" Mu WuXie soothed while feeding the baby formula.

Xiao Qiao had very little breast milk after giving birth, so the baby had always been bottle-fed.

Mu WuXie glanced at her thoughtfully. He hadn’t noticed the child crying, yet she had; did that mean she was actually paying attention to the baby all the time?
