Chapter 912: The Past

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao didn’t believe in love, not any more. She treated Yang Jianhua like a good friend and took care of him as if he was a brother of hers, because she believed that he had saved her life.

Yang Jianhua pursued her very hard, yet she never responded to him.

Before the apocalypse, she was in love twice and her relationship ended with the death of the man both times. One of those two men even betrayed her.

Her first lover loved her actually; he was an international spy. At last, he chose his own interests over her and she ended his life personally to keep the confidential information of her country from leaking.

She was sad for a while, but soon recovered. She was upset, but still was the capable Captain of Hades.

Her second lover died at her hands too, as their mission went wrong. They were both captured by the enemies, who tortured their teammates to death. They found out about their relationship and gave each of them a gun, forcing them to shoot each other. One of them had to die.

Back then, she wanted to be the one to die and not the one to fire the gun. However, the man held her hand and made her pull the trigger in despair.

Then, the reinforcements arrived. They rushed in and attacked the enemies. She did nothing as she held the man’s body, unable to even move.

After that, she sealed her heart up. The two past relationships disabled her from believing in love, and took away her courage to fall in love again.

No matter if Yang Jianhua loved her with a true heart, she wouldn’t respond. What she didn’t expect was that Yang Jianhua was actually evil enough to stab her in the back.

Therefore, she thought she would never open herself up again, no matter how hard Wu Chengyue tried. But recently, she found herself get more and more used to his persistence. That was not a good sign.

Before, no matter how attentively Yang Jianhua pursued her, she didn’t have that kind of feeling. At that time, she was able to keep a clear distance from him. She thought she would do the same to Wu Chengyue. But now, that distance had shortened slowly, and she didn’t even know how.

Besides, Wu Chengyue had selfish purposes when he first started to pursue her. She understood that he did it for Ling Ling, but that didn’t mean that she would accept him.

Even if he had slowly fallen in love with her, she still didn’t want to establish that kind of relationship with him.

She liked to be alone and free; that was the life she lived. Currently, not even her family could tell her what to do.

She didn’t want to admit that she refused to start another relationship only because she didn’t want to watch the man she loved die in front of her, and feel the pain and despair again. Wu Chengyue was strong, but in face of an unknown danger, his power was nothing.

No matter how strong a man could be, he couldn’t possibly conquer a natural disaster.

On the balcony, Wu Chengyue watched the door close. He gave a faint smile and didn’t go back into the living room, but disappeared from the balcony.

…

The next day, Lin Qiao worked from the morning till night, then finally had some time to go to the medical department. Lin Hao gave her a check-up from the head to toe and found that her baby was thriving, even though her heart wasn’t beating.

“Ah! She moved! I saw her move!” Lin Hao looked at the screen and exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Qiao was lying on the bed. She couldn’t see the screen, but smiled slightly on hearing Lin Hao’s voice.

“Look at you… People might think that you’re the father,” she laughed.

Lin Hao gave her a glare and complained, “I’m her uncle! How could you say that!”

“Yeah, yeah, you’re her uncle. Is she still moving?” Lin Qiao asked.

Lin Hao spent a short while staring at the screen, then replied disappointedly, “No. Her foot twitched slightly just now.”

“Can I get up now?” Lin Qiao asked. But in fact, she had gotten up from the bed already.

“Yeah,” Lin Hao glanced at her and said. Then, he turned back to the screen and looked at the baby that had curled herself into a tiny ball.

“She looks like a four and a half months old human fetus, but you’re already seven months pregnant. Based on this rate, I thik you’ll be pregnant for another winter,” he looked at Lin Qiao’s belly while speaking.

The baby was growing very slowly.

Lin Qiao put a hand on her obviously bulging underbelly as she smiled and said, “It’s fine. As long as she’s healthy, I can wait… But, I won’t be able to show up in front of the others again in a while.”

Lin Hao glanced at her belly, which her dress could barely cover by now. It seemed as if she had gained some weight…

“You can tell them that you’ve gotten fat… Haha, that was a joke. Based on the current growth rate of the baby, I think you still have time,” Lin Hao wanted to make a joke, but after receiving his sister’s dagger eyes, he hurriedly changed his words.

“Earlier today, Duan Juan asked me if I’ve gained some weight… And she asked me if zombies could gain weight too,” said Lin Qiao helplessly.

Duan Juan asked her that question while confusedly looking at her belly. She didn’t even know how to answer it. At last, she replied with the word ‘perhaps’.

Duan Juan would have to figure the answer out by herself.

After leaving Lin Hao’s clinic, Lin Qiao headed toward Wu Yueling’s room together with Duan Juan, who had been waiting for her on the outside.

Xiao Licheng was sitting on a chair by the door. At the sight of Lin Qiao, he stood up and said, “Miss Lu!”

Lin Qiao nodded at him, then looked at the closed door and said, “Is your Chief in there?”

Xiao Licheng nodded.

“How’s Ling Ling doing?” she continued.

“She wraps herself up with the quilt and sits by the bedside when she’s alone. She only shows her face when Chief is in the room. If anyone else gets into the room, she would roll off the bed and hide under it.”

For autistic people, the smaller the space was, the safer they might feel. That was like an animal instinct.

“It’s good that she can still let her father get close to her. It’s not entirely bad,” Lin Qiao walked to the window and looked inside the room.

Xiao Licheng sighed and said, “Chief raised her after all. She surely relies on him.”

Wu Yueling was very sensitive. Once Lin Qiao showed up outside the window, the little girl sensed her. She automatically shrank into the quilt, then vigilantly looked at the window. Seeing Lin Qiao’s face, she seemed to be a little surprised.
