Chapter 842 : Ending(3)
But at this moment, she felt as though there wasn’t any time left, and the pride she had fought to protect no longer seemed important.
She blurted the question she had been dying to find out. “Is it a boy or a girl?”
“We don’t know yet.” Qiao Anhao shook her head, two drops of tears falling onto her sister’s hair.
“Is the baby healthy?”
Qiao Anhao nodded furiously, her throat tightening.
Qiao Anxia smiled, and after a moment, she spoke again. “Qiao Qiao, I’m sorry.”

The apology was late by five years.
Many times she had been awaken by a nightmare, leaving her with insomnia, but she had never garnered enough courage.
Many times she wanted to apologize, but the words never seemed to come out. Now though, after she said them, she felt much calmer and at ease.
“If it wasn’t for me, you would have been with Lu Jinnian much earlier…” Qiao Anxia started coughing, her breathing turning weak.
At this moment, Qiao Anhao was willing to forgive whatever wrong her sister had done, her safety was of utmost priority. She shook her head, silencing Qiao Anxia’s words. “Stop, I don’t blame you, just stop, the ambulance will be here soon…”

Qiao Anxia inhaled sharply from the pain and slowly opened her eyes. As she endured the pain, her teeth trembled when she continued. “Qiao Qiao, listen to me, you don’t know anything.

At that time, my parents were forcing me to marry him…” Her voice turned softer. “I didn’t know you were in love with Lu Jinnian, if I knew, I would have never done that. I thought that you fell for Xu Jiamu after marrying him, I had even approached Lu Jinnian, warning him to stay away from you…
“Qiao Qiao, I’m sorry. I really am sorry, I never knew that my selfish act would bring you so much trouble.”
Qiao Anxia inhaled once more. She gripped onto Qiao Anhao’s wrist and continued, “I always thought that I really loved him, but now I realized that it wasn’t love, it was because I couldn’t accept his rejection. I’m such a perfect women, why would he do that to me…
” I didn’t mean to throw a tantrum at you, I just didn’t know how to face you. There were multiple times I had wanted to apologize but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, I was afraid that you would hate me… As time passed, I started to realize the damage of my behavior, but by then, I didn’t have any courage left to apologize…”
