Chapter 1085: Chapter 1104: Killing the One You Love Most with Your Own Hands 2

Xia Xiaonuan was also taken aback. However, when the two came to their senses, they saw that the fruit knife had already been thrust into Xia Zhennan’s chest.

Xia Zhennan knelt on the ground, his eyes wide with surprise as he looked at Yun.

He must have never expected that this woman, who had been willing to be a servant for him and had waited half her life for him, would one day stab him in the chest with a knife.

He let out a painful groan, and blood immediately spurted from his mouth.

"Dad..." Xia Xinmei uttered softly, collapsing onto the floor. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Xia Xiaonuan also covered her mouth in disbelief, her whole body trembling.

Nangong Yaoling quickly pulled her into his arms, shielding her eyes.

"Don’t look..."

"You..." Xia Zhennan looked at Yun in disbelief and said.

"Xia Zhennan, I hate you! If there is a next life, I would never choose this kind of life!" Yun said with tears in her eyes as she suddenly withdrew the fruit knife from his abdomen.

"Stop her!" Nangong Yaoling commanded coldly as he realized something.

The bodyguards rushed forward, but by then Yun had already gritted her teeth and fiercely stabbed the knife into her abdomen.

"No...no!" Xia Xinmei shook her head, shouting loudly as she rushed forward.

Xia Zhennan collapsed to the ground, his gaze moving to Xia Xinmei, then to Xia Xiaonuan.

"Xiaonuan...Xiaonuan...actually...actually you are not...not..." Xia Zhennan couldn’t finish his sentence before he fell.

Xia Xiaonuan stood up from the sofa, her eyes wide open.

Nangong Yaoling also stood, looking at Xiaonuan with concern.

He didn’t care about the life or death of these two people before him; he just didn’t want Xiaonuan to witness such a bloody scene.

But it was already too late.

Xia Xinmei held Yun in her arms, letting out a scream.

"Dad—!" She held Yun, who looked at her, tears in her eyes, and said in a voice only they could hear, "Live well..."

With that, she fell too.

"Ah—!" A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the air.

Xia Xiaonuan’s vision went black, and she collapsed into Nangong Yaoling’s arms.

"Xiaonuan! Xiaonuan!" Nangong Yaoling called anxiously, quickly bending down to pick up Xiaonuan and rushing out the door.

The air was filled with a faint medicinal smell.

The doctor examined Xiaonuan, then respectfully looked at Nangong Yaoling and said, "Crown Prince, Young Mistress... it seems she’s been frightened, and the fetus is somewhat unstable... but rest assured, for now, the child is safe. I’ll prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy, and there shouldn’t be any major issues."

Nangong Yaoling’s face turned pale as he looked at Xiaonuan lying on the bed.

He nodded.

"Make sure to save this child!"

"Yes, Crown Prince!"

After the doctor left, Nangong Yaoling sat by the bed, watching the sleeping girl on it.

The girl’s face was somewhat pale, her black hair accentuating her snow-white skin, making her appear delicate and pitiable.

The strands of hair, damp with sweat, clung to her forehead. In her sleep, the girl’s graceful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The handsome man’s face showed traces of heartache.

Just then, Qin Yi entered.

He glanced at the girl on the bed, carefully chose his words, and said in a low voice, "Young Master, we’ve investigated Jiang Xue’s parents and recorded their statements. It turns out, Xia Qiqi had indeed left the Jiang Family long ago and hadn’t grown up there all along.

Moreover, they never made Qiqi their daughter. A year ago, ’Qiqi’ suddenly appeared, and someone forced them to lie, saying that Qiqi never left and that she had changed her name to Jiang Xue.
