<h4>Chapter 1055: Do Not Harm My Child (18)</h4>


    Qiao Lian’s heart-wrenching cry caused everyone in the room to feel a dull ache in their hearts.


    Her hands and foot were chained, she was unable to break free.


    Being restrained like this made her feel robbed of all human rights.


    She red at Lu Nanze with burning fury in her eyes, shouting, “Let me go! Let me go!”


    Lu Nanze looked at her. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were red. She looked like a demon who was out to devour her prey and, at the same time, a trapped beast struggling in a half-crazed state.


    Even the normally cold-hearted man felt a little shaken.


    Lu Nanze lowered his head and said, “Qiao Lian, close your eyes. It will be over very soon.”


    At this point, he gestured to Qiao Yiyi with a wave of his hand.


    Qiao Yiyi at once gave a signal, and a specialist nurse walked towards them with a needle and drip bottle.


    Qiao Yiyi bent over and whispered softly into Qiao Lian’s ear, “Qiao Lian, you see that? There’s anesthesia in that bottle. Once it gets into your bloodstream, you will feel no pain. I’ve even heard that if the operation is done well, there’s no bleeding. There will be no trace of this child left in you. Don’t worry, the doctor that Second Brother got you is the best gynecologist in all of Suzhou. As for you... enjoy the sorrow!!”


    After saying this, with her back to Lu Nanze and looking at the pitiful Qiao Lian, a vicious expression shed across her face.


    Growing up in Qiao Lian’s home, she had had to lower herself and live like a sycophant. To think that such a day woulde for Qiao Lian!


    Qiao Lian bit her lip as she stared at Qiao Yiyi. Such insanity and hatred. She said, “Qiao Yiyi, I knew from the start that you’re the sort of person who bites the hand that feeds you! Would you believe I could have had you killed years ago?”


    Laughing icily, Qiao Yiyi said, “What’s the point of talking about the past? He whoughsst,ughs best!”


    At this point, she turned to the nurse and instructed, “Get started!”


    The nurse took a step forward, as someone proceeded to restrain Qiao Lian’s arm.


    Qiao Lian stared as the nurse got ready to insert the needle into her vein. She suddenly narrowed her eyes and shouted, “Second Brother! Don’t you want to know why I hated you so much when we met again this time?”


    At these words, the nurse hesitated and looked up at Lu Nanze.


    But Qiao Yiyi’s pupils shrank back as she shouted, “Why are you stopping? Get on with it!”


    The nurse furrowed her brow, but saw that Lu Nanze’s pupils had shrank back as he looked at Qiao Lian.


    Qiao Lianughed icily and looked at Qiao Yiyi. “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll tell on you? Or could it be that what you told at that time was not what Second Brother asked you to say?”


    At those words, Lu Nanze’s gaze lightly shifted to Qiao Yiyi.


    Qiao Yiyi drew back in fright as she started to tremble. She gulped and looked at Lu Nanze. “Second Brother, I...”


    Lu Nanze did not look at her, but he instead looked at Qiao Lian and frowned. “Speak up.”


    Because Lu Nanze wanted to hear what Qiao Lian had to say, the nurse held back and did not proceed with inserting the anesthesia. She stood back.


    Looking straight at Lu Nanze, Qiao Lian started, “When my family went bankrupt, and Mom and Dad died, my brother and I were sent to my uncle’s house, which was Qiao Yiyi’s home. Even though I was berated by my uncle and aunt every day, I took it in my stride. But do you know why I finally took my brother and left Suzhou?”


    At this point, sheughed scornfully and continued, “That was because Qiao Yiyi told me you were the one who got people to injure my hand!”
