Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 354 - 352 Abortion Surgery

The man stood tall and graceful, with a gentle scholarly charm in his handsome features, still the Brother Yixiao she was familiar with, yet she felt as if she didn’t know him at all.

He was a core figure in the ISM Organization, which the United Nations relied on heavily, a new generation elite with decisive actions and a cold and steady character.

But he was no longer the Brother Yixiao in her memory, who would take her to school on his bicycle, who would hug her when she was sad.

"Jiayi..." Nie Yixiao gazed at her, "I wanted to come find you sooner, but I’ve been very busy these past few days and only just managed to find the time. I called the Chu Family and was told by your uncle that you and Aunt Xia are staying in a hotel."

Busy? Yes, he was working on the case involving the Xuan Family.

She lifted her head, feigning energy: "Oh."

Nie Yixiao didn’t know how to make her revert to the way she used to treat him and paused: "Xuan Yu is currently being interrogated and investigated by the international police. Although her case isn’t largely related to her family’s, the investigation revealed she hired someone to commit a murder and imprisoned Aunt Xia. The international police have already transferred her to the criminal department, which has brought charges against Xuan Yu. Her trial will start next month, and it’s certain that she’ll be going to prison."

Jiayi breathed out a sigh of relief.

So-called retribution for evil deeds is just like this, I suppose.

A lady of high society, about to endure the suffering of imprisonment, with her reputation completely ruined, would be enough to repay the pain her mother had endured these years.

She spoke softly: "Thank you for resolving the Xuan Family’s case so quickly. If not for you, my mother would’ve borne her grievances in vain all these years. Thank you, Mr. Nie."

She didn’t know how to address him.

When hatred fades and misunderstandings are cleared, what remains is the rift that has already formed.

Calling him Brother Yixiao again, like she did in her youth, seemed impossible.

This address of Mr. Nie let the disappointment rapidly spread across Nie Yixiao’s handsome face, yet he couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart.

She might never know that this case was too complicated. Had it not been for a certain man providing evidence in secret beforehand, it might have continued to drag on, and completion on time would have been impossible.

The one who really saved her and her mother in their time of crisis turned out to be that same man.

Nie Yixiao’s smile bore an infinite melancholy: "Back then, when I came to S Country, I just wanted to accompany you wholeheartedly. I never expected my superiors to find out I was in S Country and connected to the Chu Family, and then assign me this case. If I had known that this task would cause me to lose you, I would have preferred not to come to S Country. Do you know how much I regret this, Jiayi?"

Jiayi responded indifferently: "It’s all in the past. I don’t blame you; you were just carrying out your duties. It’s getting late, I should go in to be with Mom. You’ve been tired for several days, go and rest early too."

Seeing her turn and walk towards the door, Nie Yixiao took a few steps forward: "Jiayi!"

She stopped in her tracks but did not turn to look at him.

"I hope you can give me another chance. To be with me again." He watched her intently, suddenly grasping her hand, even though she wasn’t looking at him.

To be with him again?

Even though she knew he left her for the organization and got involved with Chu Xinyu, even though she knew everything that had happened was beyond his control...

But can what has already happened truly be treated as if it never existed?

She could choose not to blame him, but could their relationship really return to what it was before?

When she was with him, could she really forget the sight of him entangled with Chu Xinyu in bed, could she truly forget Chu Xinyu attacking her while he watched indifferently?

That has become a permanent injury. The wound may have healed, but the scars remain forever.

And there’s more...

She lowered her eyes to glance at her not-yet-swollen belly.

She could not return to who she was before.

How could he accept this child? Even if he did, how could there not be a knot in his heart?

She and Nie Yixiao, once believing they could be together for a lifetime, seemed to drift with the tide of the world, each pulled in different directions.

...

Memories of their younger days swirled in her mind.

"Jiayi, why are you messing with my name? My name is ’Yixiao,’ not a single laugh..."

"Yixiao’s name has fewer strokes than a smile, so it’s much easier to write, and it’s also lovely to hear, Yixiao, Yixiao, Brother Yixiao, giggle..."

Such emotions might be truly hard to let go of.

Compared to the last time when she thought he had betrayed her, this time, it was even more painful.

In Jiayi’s heart, it felt like a small knife was slicing her heart inch by inch, as if she were giving up the most important thing in her life, yet she still gritted her teeth and withdrew her hand.

It was neither heavy nor light, like a breeze, her hand drifted out from Nie Yixiao’s palm.

Nie Yixiao felt a chill in his heart, sensing that he could no longer hold onto her.

"I’m sorry." Those three words were her response.

It seemed like she hadn’t said anything, but it already explained everything.

Just as her hand was about to slip from his grasp, his gaze darkened, and in the final moment, he firmly hooked onto her slender little finger:

"I won’t give up on our feelings. I will give you time to adjust."

He knew that the hurt that had been caused couldn’t be healed in just a day or two.

The fact that she could even maintain this attitude towards him now was already good.

He had loved her for more than a decade, starting from his green youth.

He believed that she felt the same for him, only that she had been hurt too deeply by him, making it hard for her to accept at the moment.

It was okay, he would devote all his time to her from now on.

Her finger, hooked by him, stalled for a moment as it slid out, and she pushed open the revolving door and entered.

Nie Yixiao’s visit today only strengthened her resolve to leave with her mother as soon as possible.

"Mr. Nie."

Seeing Nie Yixiao standing tall in the sunset, motionless for a long time, a subordinate member of ISM approached, somewhat worried.

Nie Yixiao raised his hand to gesture, his dense eyelashes flashing slightly as he hid the intense sorrow and disappointment in his eyes.

...

The next day.

Cao Private Hospital.

Inside the operating room, the cold surgical tools, the shadowless lamp, the anesthetist, and the nurses were all ready.

Everything was prepared, just waiting for the patient who was to undergo the abortion surgery.

Dr. Cao in a white lab coat walked out and said to Chu Yanhan in the hallway, "Mr. Chu, Miss Chu hasn’t arrived yet?"

Chu Yanhan looked at his watch and frowned. He had sent the driver to the hotel at eight in the morning; why hadn’t they arrived yet?

At that moment, hurried footsteps came from down the hall.

It was the Chu Family’s butler, sent to pick up the daughter from the hotel, coming toward them with an urgent expression.

"What happened, where is Jiayi? And Tingxuan too, weren’t they supposed to come together?" Chu Yanhan was alarmed when he saw only the butler.

The butler hurried forward: "Sir, Miss Jiayi and her daughter have disappeared."

"Disappeared? Wasn’t there a caretaker assigned to watch over the two of them?" Chu Yanhan was taken aback.

"The two of them left last night. It appears they were taken away by professionals, without any sign of disturbance."

Chu Yanhan felt as if he had drained of strength and leaned against the wall.

He was unable to recover his senses for a long time.
