Zheng Xiuyan never imagined that Xiao Qiang could see through the secret she tried so hard to hide, let alone analyze it to unearth something shocking.
As Xiao Qiang said earlier, Zheng Xiuyan did not want to burden him; she planned to expose her whereabouts and asked Xiao Qiang to hide her sister. Even if she died, her sister would be able to grow safely under Xiao Qiang's protection.
Once a woman is adamant, it's impossible to reason with her. Xiao Qiang noticed that something was not right with Zheng Xiuyan, which is why he shared his thoughts today. However, he never thought that what was meant to happen would still occur. His words merely delayed the course of events.
Just three days after Xiao Qiang's conversation with Zheng Xiuyan, he prepared breakfast for the two sisters and went to work. When he got off work at noon, he and Wang Yu and several other interns came out and saw Zheng Xiujing with red and swollen eyes from crying.
"Something's wrong!"
