Chapter 1039: Chapter 1033: The Woman Deceived by Human Traffickers_1
âCalm down and focus on childbirth, Iâll figure something out,â Qin Xue had to reevaluate all of her previous judgements in light of this new information. This situation was something that she had not anticipated at all. No wonder she had felt something strange about this woman from the beginning; her actions had revealed her nervousness and deceit, both of which had made Qin Xue uncomfortable. However, hearing the womanâs story, she was now able to understand her earlier behavior and psychology.
The woman had been worried about her motives being discovered by the man and feared that they might not be willing to assist her. Now, Qin Xue might be able to help her, though what would happen in the future did not concern her.
After hearing Qin Xueâs words, the woman tried to control her emotions, realizing that she must stay calm to find a solution. The thought, âStay calm⊠stay calmâŠâ echoed repeatedly in her mind.
Qin Xue admired the womanâs mental strength. It was impressive that she was able to remain composed in such a dire situation, even if she had briefly panicked, she had quickly managed to regain her composure.
If it isnât for her memory loss, Qin Xue believes that the woman would have already found her way home and freed herself from this manâs control.
âBig sister, doesnât it hurt?â Ouyang Ziyu curiously asked the woman.
âIt hurts, but I can endure it.â The woman managed to laugh at Ouyang Ziyuâs utterance.
Qin Xue couldnât help but ponder upon hearing the womanâs response. The pain from a broken leg was already unbearable, let alone coupled with the pains of labor. Any ordinary person would find it impossible to bear, yet this woman managed to laugh it off, saying she could withstand it. This aroused Qin Xueâs curiosity about her background. What kind of willpower allowed her to endure so much pain? Perhaps Qin Xue should reconsider helping this woman.
She should bring her back to Yingying. Qin Xue saw in the woman a hint of Qing Teng, someone who could indeed be of help to Yingying.
âAlright, drink some water and regain your strength for the childbirth. Donât worry, Iâll take you away when the time comes, and I wonât let you go with that man. When you remember who you are and want to leave, you can do so,â Qin Xue reassured her with a smile.
âReally? Thank you so much,â the woman replied with a laugh upon hearing Qin Xueâs assurance.
âYouâre welcome, but arenât you afraid that Iâtt also be a bad person and deceive you?â Qin Xue joked, watching the woman intently.
âWith the state Iâm in, I donât think I have anything you could possibly deceive me of. And since youâre military, even if you did fool me, I would accept it,â the woman laughed even harder at Qin Xueâs rhetorical question.
âI never said that I was military. How did you know Iâm military personnel?â Qin Xue was puzzled. The woman had been assuming that she and Ouyang were military personnel since earlier. While she had no objections about Ouyang, since he was in uniform, she wasnât.
âItâs because of her attitude toward you,â the woman pointed at Ouyang Ziyu.
âI didnât notice anything different about the way she treats me,â said Qin Xue, who simply didnât notice anything unusual.
âNo, there is a difference. Sheâs a soldier, even a mid-ranker, but even while she appears to treat you normally, thereâs admiration in her eyes. Itâs the kind of respect a subordinate has for a superior,â the woman pointed out. Following her advice, Qin Xue observed Ouyang Ziyu more closely and indeed saw a subtle difference in her gaze that she had not noticed before. It was a detail so mild that she had overlooked it, but the woman had not.
