Chapter 2181: Don’t Be Agitated

If Qiao Nan couldn’t make it, and one or two children couldn’t make it as well, her life in the future would really be easier.

Seriously, the country was advocating for sound child-rearing now. How expensive was it to raise a child? It was good for her to give birth to Feng Feng alone. Was Qiao Nan a sow? She had given birth to triplets at once.

“Oh.” The nurse whom Qiao Zijin grabbed was initially shocked. Then, she calmed down quickly. “The triplets were born safely. They are a little lighter, but they are healthy. As long as you take care of them more carefully in the future, they would grow like ordinary children.”

Upon hearing the nurse’s words, Qiao Zijin nearly couldn’t help but pull her face down. She didn’t understand it. Qiao Nan was close to forty years old and had given birth to triplets. How could these three children still be alive? The triplets would grow as healthy as ordinary children as long as the adults took care of them more carefully in the future? Then, what if they weren’t careful enough? If something happened to one of the triplets, wouldn’t it be the responsibility of the person who was taking care of the triplets?

Upon thinking that she was going to take over Qiao Nan’s position, marry Zhai Sheng, and become the stepmother of these three children, Qiao Zijin felt depressed. How much effort did she have to put into taking care of the triplets in the future? Was it considered careful only if she treated the triplets as her ancestors? If anything happened to them, she would even be the first person to take the rap.

No, she still had to consider this situation carefully. She must tell Qiao Nan that the triplets weren’t born as healthy as Feng Feng. If anything happened to one of the triplets in the future, she couldn’t be blamed. She had to take care of three children alone. If she really did that, she might not even be able to raise a child up well. On the contrary, if she focused all her attention on one child, then she would definitely be able to raise this child well.

Instead of risking all three children at once, she might as well just take good care of one of them. Of course, she wouldn’t choose on behalf of Qiao Nan. They were Qiao Nan’s children. She would take care of the child whom Qiao Nan chose.

Yes, they would just do this. Giving up two to take care of one was better than losing all three. Qiao Nan would understand this.

“How about my sister?” She had already thought about how to take care of the triplets. Qiao Zijin was now concerned about Qiao Nan. If possible, Qiao Zijin wanted to ask more bluntly, “How long more does Qiao Nan have to live? When will she die?”

“Ah…” The nurse hesitated. After the delivery of the children yesterday, she had knocked off work. As such, she didn’t know about the latest situation of the mother. “Not very good, but don’t feel too negative. There are still a few hours left. She should…” Should be awake now?

It was a pity that Qiao Zijin didn’t wait for the nurse to finish her words. She took off once she heard that Qiao Nan only had a few hours left. Qiao Zijin was extremely agitated. Qiao Nan was going to die. Qiao Nan was finally going to die. After Qiao Nan died, she could marry Zhai Sheng and become the chief’s wife. Who was Chen Jun? So be it that they had gotten a divorce. That was nothing. Her mom was right. Her life was more valuable than Qiao Nan’s and she was luckier than her. A blessing like the Zhai family was clearly prepared for her. So what if it was her second marriage? Based on her luck, she would just be luckier with each marriage!

When she rushed into Qiao Nan’s ward, aside from Qiao Nan, who was lying quietly on the bed, seemingly lifeless, there was coincidentally no one else in the room.

Looking at Qiao Nan’s pale look, split lips, and light breathing, Qiao Zijin’s body trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and pinched the tender flesh of her thigh hard. She immediately burst into tears. “Nan Nan, we just reconciled. Why did you… Nan Nan, you had such a bitter life. The three children aren’t any better. I really feel heartache for them.”

As she said this, Qiao Zijin knelt next to Qiao Nan’s bed. She was certain that the volume of her words would definitely wake Qiao Nan up. As such, she said, “Nan Nan, the triplets were just born. They are still so young. They can’t lose their mother or the care of their mother. Why is G.o.d so indifferent? He didn’t even give you this opportunity. They are so cute. Why did they encounter such a thing?”

Qiao Nan, who was abruptly awakened by Qiao Zijin’s crying, had two questions. What happened to her triplets? Did something terrible happen to them? In her dream, her triplets were always safe and no accident had happened.

Upon thinking that she was forty years old when giving birth to the triplets, Qiao Nan couldn’t help but doubt. Could it be that something happened to their bodies as she had given birth to them only at the age of forty? Qiao Nan, who was frightened by her thoughts, immediately became paler. If something happened to the triplets, why didn’t Mom mention it to her just now? She even looked so happy. Could it be that Mom was really hiding something from her?

The more Qiao Nan thought about it, the more nervous and afraid she was. Her body trembled. She wanted to get out of bed and look at her three children and ask the doctor personally about their situation. If she didn’t hear it for herself, she wouldn’t feel at ease. It was just that the wound on her stomach hurt badly. Coupled with Qiao Zijin throwing herself at her, Qiao Nan couldn’t get up at all.

“Nan Nan, don’t be agitated. No matter what happens, I’m around. There’s room for discussion between us sisters. I believe there’s nothing in this world that we can’t solve together.” Qiao Zijin thought that she had touched on the painful point in Qiao Nan’s heart when she saw her lifeless face and wet eyes. The children were just born but the biological mother didn’t survive. Who wouldn’t be worried about their children having stepparents in the future?

Qiao Nan’s situation wasn’t optimistic to begin with when she entered the operating theatre yesterday. Just after twenty-four hours of observation, her condition hadn’t improved. With her agitated mood and Qiao Zijin crus.h.i.+ng her body, Qiao Nan had a feeling that she was going to be crushed to death by Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Zijin didn’t know that Qiao Nan was feeling so uncomfortable because she was crus.h.i.+ng her. Seeing that Qiao Nan looked like she couldn’t breathe and was about to die any time, she only thought that her ‘time’ was here. “Nan Nan, I know you’re running out of time. I’ll go straight to the point. We are still sisters no matter how much we argue between us. Remember. Aside from your family in this world, you can’t believe anyone else.”
