Chapter 680: 687 Illness strikes like a mountain collapsing_1

Zhou Ziqing and Qin Gang’s affair would surely yield some evidence.

Lin Xiangwan started to search the room carefully and quietly.

As expected, she found a box of Durex and contraception medicine in the bedside table.

She glanced at the medicine bottle and pondered in silence.

"Auntie..." Duoduo, who was lying on the bed, suddenly called out.

Subconsciously, Lin Xiangwan put everything back in its place and quickly closed the drawer.

"Duoduo... " Lin Xiangwan turned around awkwardly and smiled at the child.

Despite Duoduo being disabled, she always felt guilty under her gaze.

Sigh...

In her heart, she cursed Zhou Ziqing again. ’I am skulking around here, but it’s not my fault. The blame is all on you. Who asked you to interfere in my marriage? Who asked you to abuse my child? Who gave you the right to bully me? Everything I do is to safeguard myself and my child from your threats.’

Duoduo laid on the bed looking delighted and broke into a wide smile.

As Lin Xiangwan approached, she could see the confusion in the child’s eyes.

She chuckled. "Auntie came to see Duoduo. I thought I heard some noises in the room just now. Did you hear it too?"

"Uh..." Duoduo seemed to want to say something but couldn’t find the words.

Lin Xiangwan touched the little girl’s face. "Duoduo has become more beautiful, like a little beauty!"

She was speaking the truth. Duoduo’s facial features were very beautiful. Duoduo’s nose and eyes particularly resembled Qin Muchuan.

Apparently, genes do play an important role.

Especially living at the Qin Family house, where people are there to care for her, Duoduo’s little face has become clean and comfortable.

Zhou Ziqing sure knows when to put on a good show. Why she had never seen her treat the child well earlier?

"Auntie..." Duoduo called out again.

"Hmmm, Duoduo misses mom, right? Mom will be home soon!" Lin Xiangwan whispered.

"Miss... Auntie..." Duoduo managed to say with difficulty.

Lin Xiangwan then realized that she hadn’t seen Duoduo in a long time.

"Auntie... likes... bothers... sis..." Duoduo uttered with difficulty.

Lin Xiangwan could understand what the child was trying to say - that Auntie only liked her brother and sister and didn’t like her.

Hearing the child’s complaint, Lin Xiangwan felt a tug at her heart. "From now on, Auntie will come to visit you more often, okay?"

"Okay..."

Duoduo’s mouth was very dry, her lips were peeling and looked like they were about to crack. "Auntie, could you get me some water? Are you thirsty?"

"Thirsty..." Duoduo said painfully.

"Alright..." Lin Xiangwan got up to fetch water.

When she returned, she was carrying a cup of water and some wet cotton swabs.

Lin Xiangwan carefully helped Duoduo take a drink of water, and then applied the wet cotton swab to her lips.

With a smile on her face, Duoduo said, "Miss... Auntie... Auntie, come... more..."

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "Okay. But your mom doesn’t like Auntie getting close to you..."

Duoduo seemed to understand. "Not... say..."

Lin Xiangwan smiled. "Alright, we won’t say anything. If we don’t talk about it, no one will know, right?"

"Hmm..."

Lin Xiangwan reached under the blanket to check. "It’s okay, the blanket is dry. Duoduo, do you need to pee now? Auntie will help you."

"Hmm..." Duoduo nodded exaggeratedly as she replied.

Lin Xiangwan lifted the child and set her on the toilet seat.

Duoduo tightly gripped her clothes, Lin Xiangwan then held the child more firmly.

That’s when she noticed bruises on Duoduo’s buttocks, startling her.

"Duoduo..." What happened?

Lin Xiangwan gently stroked the marks.

"Mom hit..."

Her mom hit her!

"Sigh... Poor child!" It’s simply pitiful beyond words.

"When mommy hurts you next time, call out, scream..."

"Can’t..." Duoduo gestured by patting her mouth.

"Then, be a good girl, don’t let mom hit you, okay?" Lin Xiangwan spoke with compassion.

"Good... I’m a good girl..."

Duoduo, who was held back to bed, laid back down immediately.

From her lips came a continuous murmur, "Duoduo... don’t... drink... water, don’t... pee..."

"That’s unacceptable, how could you not drink water? If you don’t drink water, you’ll die of thirst!" Lin Xiangwan said urgently, nearly crying. "How about this, when your mom isn’t here, Auntie will come over to help you pee..."

"Auntie..." Duoduo was delighted.

In the days that followed, Lin Xiangwan would find time to come and secretly take care of Duoduo.

Duoduo also became happier, she always smiled when Lin Xiangwan visited.

Even though Lin Xiangwan was jealous and angry – this child was born to Zhou Ziqing and Qin Muchuan. But when thought of the child’s pitiful situation, her heart could not help but open more, her sympathy for Duoduo grew stronger.

**********

When Xu Feng’e took the hundred thousand yuan, Lin Xiangwan couldn’t bear it.

She called Qin Muchuan to inform him about this incident. "... I’m telling you this not because I want you to get the money back, but to let you know that your grandparents have been deceived. I don’t have the ability to protect them... so you can’t blame me for not taking care of your grandparents properly..."

"I understand..." Qin Muchuan answered absent-mindedly.

This made Lin Xiangwan very unsatisfied.

He must be indifferent towards her now, even a phone call seemed indifferent to her.

Moreover, he didn’t care about the hundred thousand yuan at all, apparently her worries were unneeded.

"Well, let’s hang up then!"

"Hmm..." Qin Muchuan didn’t say much.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiangwan felt distressed again, and then she scolded herself. "You brought all these problems upon yourself; he doesn’t care about you at all. You are the one who sticks up to him, and you are the one who likes him. So you don’t have the right to be angry now..."

"Achoo... Achoo..."

Before she could finish speaking, she sneezed.

Then she noticed that her head felt heavy, she even had a migraine, and her throat began to feel scratchy and itchy.

She knew this feeling all too well... she was coming down with a cold...

Not wanting to delay, she took some anti-inflammatory and cold medicine, and continued to sleep with the quilt over her head.

If she rested properly, she might be able to get over this cold...

"Mom..."

"Mom..."

The two children who had finished their weekend homework rushed into the room.

"Cough, cough..." At this moment, Lin Xiangwan’s face was flushed, her eyes were half closed, she tried to open them, but she had no strength to do so.

Qin Yutong raised her little hand and gently touched her mother’s forehead. "It’s burning hot!"

Ranran also followed suit. "Yes, it’s really hot. Mom is sick!"

"Cough, cough..." Lin Xiangwan closed her eyes and said weakly, "It’s okay, you guys go play. Stay away from Mom so you don’t catch it!"
