Chapter 842

But at this moment, she felt as though there wasn't any time left, and the pride she had fought to protect no longer seemed important .

She blurted the question she had been dying to find out . "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"We don't know yet . " Qiao Anhao shook her head, two drops of tears falling onto her sister's hair .

"Is the baby healthy?"

Qiao Anhao nodded furiously, her throat tightening .

Qiao Anxia smiled, and after a moment, she spoke again . "Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry . "

The apology was late by five years .

Many times she had been awaken by a nightmare, leaving her with insomnia, but she had never garnered enough courage .

Many times she wanted to apologize, but the words never seemed to come out . Now though, after she said them, she felt much calmer and at ease .

"If it wasn't for me, you would have been with Lu Jinnian much earlier . . . " Qiao Anxia started coughing, her breathing turning weak .

At this moment, Qiao Anhao was willing to forgive whatever wrong her sister had done, her safety was of utmost priority . She shook her head, silencing Qiao Anxia's words . "Stop, I don't blame you, just stop, the ambulance will be here soon . . . "

Qiao Anxia had a coughing fit once more, blood gushing out of her wound violently . Cheng Yang applied pressure right away, preventing too much blood loss .

Qiao Anxia inhaled sharply from the pain and slowly opened her eyes . As she endured the pain, her teeth trembled when she continued . "Qiao Qiao, listen to me, you don't know anything . At that time, when I was using the bathroom in your room, I accidentally heard the contents of your conversation with Xu Jiamu . I recorded it and gave it to Han Ruchu . . . . "

Qiao Anxia summarized the story due to lack of time, but Qiao Anhao understood it clearly .

"Qiao Qiao, I didn't mean to harm you, I just didn't want to marry Xu Jiamu . At that time, my parents were forcing me to marry him . . . " Her voice turned softer . "I didn't know you were in love with Lu Jinnian, if I knew, I would have never done that . I thought that you fell for Xu Jiamu after marrying him, I had even approached Lu Jinnian, warning him to stay away from you . . .

"Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry . I really am sorry, I never knew that my selfish act would bring you so much trouble . "

Qiao Anxia inhaled once more . She gripped onto Qiao Anhao's wrist and continued, "I always thought that I really loved him, but now I realized that it wasn't love, it was because I couldn't accept his rejection . I'm such a perfect woman, why would he do that to me . . .

" I didn't mean to throw a tantrum at you, I just didn't know how to face you . There were multiple times I had wanted to apologize but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, I was afraid that you would hate me . . . As time passed, I started to realize the damage of my behavior, but by then, I didn't have any courage left to apologize . . . "
