Chapter 1260 - 1259: Telling His Wife

Upon hearing Chang Luhui’s words, Huo Shiqian furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment, then said, "For now, let’s not draw conclusions. We should investigate and find out the truth first."

"Don’t worry, Commander, don’t worry, I will get to the bottom of it and bring the person back!" Chang said confidently on the other end of the phone.

"Hmm, let’s leave it at that for now." Huo Shiqian replied in a deep voice.

Then, after finishing the call with Chang Luhui, Huo Shiqian hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Huo Shiqian returned to the room while still in deep thought.

Inside the room, Fifteen was already full and sleeping soundly.

Xia Chuyi looked up at her husband as he entered the room.

Seeing her husband’s slightly furrowed brows, as if he had something on his mind, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but ask, "Did something happen?"

"It’s nothing," Huo Shiqian shook his head slightly and said to Xia Chuyi, "Just a minor issue, you don’t need to worry."

"A minor issue?" Hearing Huo Shiqian say this, Xia Chuyi immediately furrowed her brows.

From her husband’s expression, Xia Chuyi didn’t think it was a minor issue.

Seeing his wife like this, knowing she’s being "overly sensitive" again, Huo Shiqian stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, saying, "It truly is just a minor issue."

"Over in Ling County, Chang Luhui said that Lian’er took advantage of her breastfeeding period and ran off, leaving the child behind." Huo Shiqian said calmly.

"What? Lian’er ran away?" Xia Chuyu asked in surprise.

"Yes, she indeed ran away," Huo Shiqian continued calmly, "But you don’t need to worry. Lian’er’s escape doesn’t affect us, she doesn’t have the ability to impact us."

"That’s why I told you it’s just a minor issue." Huo Shiqian maintained a calm and composed tone throughout.

The reason he said this was because Huo Shiqian knew that after childbirth, his wife’s depression had slightly improved.

But since she was still in her breastfeeding period, her emotions weren’t very stable at times.

So Huo Shiqian only told her part of the truth, omitting some details.

If he said nothing, he was afraid Xia Chuyi would overthink, but telling her everything might make her worry too much.

Huo Shiqian’s calmness affected Xia Chuyi.

Thinking about it, Xia Chuyi realized Huo Shiqian was right.

Regardless of Lian’er escaping or not, given Lian’er’s situation, she could no longer pose a threat to Xia Chuyi.

But still...

"Who says this doesn’t concern us..." Xia Chuyi said, "But she is the person who nearly cost me my child. I still hope she is caught soon and faces the punishment she deserves."

As she said this, Xia Chuyi’s tone was very firm.

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian gently patted her and said, "Don’t worry, she will be."

"Alright, let’s not talk about her anymore," Huo Shiqian said, "Once she’s caught and confined back to the psychiatric hospital, she will completely disappear from our lives."

"Hmm," Xia Chuyi nodded, snuggling into Huo Shiqian’s embrace and said, "I hope so."

At this point in the conversation, Xia Chuyi suddenly looked up and asked, "By the way, what about Lian’er’s child? How is that child doing?"

Lian’er might completely disappear from their lives, but Lian’er’s child wouldn’t.

Under the current circumstances, Lian’er’s child would most likely be taken care of by Uncle Xia and his family.

"The child is fine." Huo Shiqian replied calmly upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s question.
