Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1325 - 1303: It’s a Little Boy
Ya Chen’s tone was still indisputable, with a hint of impatience: "I know. We’ll talk about it later."
This surgery, he could wait.
He had been blind for so many years, he didn’t mind being blind for a few more days or even months.
If her emotional issue worsened, that couldn’t wait.

The next day at noon.
Chu Xinyue ate a little hastily, then went silent again, resembling a piece of petrified wood, lifelessly hugging her slender legs, sitting by the window.
"Second Miss, while you were hospitalized, those flowers and trees you personally planted with the gardener in the garden have grown a lot. Would you like to go downstairs and have a look?" Xiaotao wanted her to get some fresh air.
The trees she planted herself had grown taller?
Indeed, it’s been so long; they should have grown taller.
The frail acacia tree survived, but the baby would never have a day to play under the tree again.
Chu Xinyue’s eyelashes fluttered heavily, her eyes slightly trembling, pulling up the long-buried emotions in her heart.
Xiaotao didn’t know where she said something wrong, and immediately added, "Okay, we won’t go downstairs, but staying in the room for too long isn’t good either. How about we walk around the corridor? Second Miss, if you keep this up, you’ll make yourself sick!"
Perhaps it was the almost crying tone of Xiaotao, or perhaps it was the bit of emotion she vented to him last night, she seemed less depressed today.
She also understood that her current state was very bad and needed to be let go as much as possible, so finally, she tried to lift her frail body and stepped down from the bay window.
Xiaotao hurriedly helped her down and put a coat on her.
Having not walked for a long time, Chu Xinyue walked along the corridor for a while, feeling some soreness in her legs, bending down to rub them.
Xiaotao could sense her lack of stamina and couldn’t help but sigh.
Second Miss had been too weak these days; she was afraid the sudden activity might be too much. Just conveniently, there was a soft chair next to the corridor, so she quickly said, "Second Miss. Have a seat for a while. I’ll get you a glass of water."
She turned and left as she spoke.
Chu Xinyue sat on the chair to rest for a while, only to hear the low conversation of two people coming from outside the staircase.
They were Ya Chen’s two close personal guards.
"...Mm, it was already sent home from the hospital yesterday, placed in the study."
"Why delay it until now..."
"His Highness originally planned to wait until the Crown Princess was discharged, to bury them together, so he kept it stored in the ice coffin, but now given the Crown Princess’s situation, you can see it yourself. How could he let her see it?"
"Mm... so when will it be buried?"
"Probably soon."
"Where will it be buried? In the Imperial MausoleumRoyal?"
"His Highness seems to have other plans."
...
The voices of the two gradually drifted away as they talked and went downstairs.
Chu Xinyue’s heart felt as if a stone had dropped into the lake, with a clunk, a strong premonition surged over her. She stood up suddenly, accidentally hitting her ankle against the leg of the chair but felt no pain.
An invisible force seemed to guide her towards the upstairs.
"Second Miss..." Xiaotao was coming back with water, seeing her going upstairs, put down the glass and hurried after her. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
This time, she didn’t know where the strength came from, but she shook off Xiaotao, running to the study upstairs.
Ya Chen’s study was tightly locked; she tried pushing it a few times but couldn’t open it, which made her understand further, her hands and feet trembling.
If it were usual times, his study wouldn’t be locked.
Xiaotao came quickly after: "Second Miss, why are you going to the study?"
She muttered her lips: "Get the key... help me get the study key..."
For these many days, it was the first time Xiaotao heard her speak to herself so completely, not understanding why she wanted to enter the study: "Second Miss, what do you want to do in the study? Let’s go back..."
"Get the key!" she almost cried out, her voice intensified.
Seeing her face pale as snow, Xiaotao dared not say anything further, went downstairs to the storage room to fetch the spare key to the study, then went upstairs and unlocked the study door.
With the sound of the key turning the wheel, the door creaked open.
Chu Xinyue stood at the entrance, as if a cold air surged, making her shiver, she dared not enter. After a long while, she took the first step inside.
In the study, everything looked as usual, no great changes, the handmade furniture of brown pear wood, bookshelves, leather sofa of the same color scheme.
Just like the last time she stayed here with him.
It seemed in the air, his scent still lingered.
On the desk, however, there was an additional box covered with a white cloth.
She walked over, trembling as she lifted the white cloth.
It was a transparent glass box, neither too big nor too small, about the length of an adult’s arm, the height of a man’s hand.
The body of the box was carved with vivid patterns, the base connected to a power source, currently electrified, clearly showing the items inside.
It was a small crystal ice coffin.
All of Chu Xinyue’s suspicions settled at this moment, feeling as though a cut was made into the flesh of her heart; she completely understood who the ice coffin contained.
Wanting to get closer to look carefully, yet it felt as if she was controlled by something, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Xiaotao evidently also saw the small crystal ice coffin, gasping in shock, instinctively pulling Chu Xinyue: "No, Second Miss..."
This call, on the contrary, calmed Chu Xinyue, pulling down Xiaotao’s arm, she squatted in front of the little ice coffin.
Inside the transparent ice coffin, a small body was curled up, maintaining the posture it had in its mother’s womb.
That body was still so small, almost not fully human, more like a tender, glistening lump of flesh.
Yet this little lump of flesh had grown small hands and small feet, even sprouted a few strands of black hair, a sign of good nourishment in early pregnancy, developing quite well.
The upper part of the head, with undeveloped eyes, was tightly shut, as if in a deep sleep.
Between the two tender little legs, the gender characteristics could vaguely be seen.
It was a little boy.
Due to the protection of the ice coffin, the baby looked vivid and lifelike, showing no signs of decay, as though still in the womb, waiting for the day it could enter the world.
It could have continued to stay in her belly until birth.
It was her uselessness that caused it to end up in this small coffin.
The simplest thing other women could do, she failed to do and what’s the point of living?
Xiaotao covered her mouth, knowing how cruel this scene was to her, wanting to cover her eyes and take her away but it was too late.
A heart-wrenching pain surged through Chu Xinyue’s entire body, from limbs to every blood vessel, her vision went black, and she collapsed on the ground.
**
In the depth of night, in the Ya Family’s hall, the air was filled with anger.
Several close guards stood beside the sofa, their heads lowered.
Xiaotao too, with red swollen eyes from crying, was full of guilt: "It’s my fault, I didn’t take good care of Second Miss, I didn’t know there would be... in that room, and I even ran to get the key to help her open the door..."
