The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: I Want to See Her Again

Su Yu’s moody, foul temper meant that even with their An’an, he only showed a decent face for her sake;换个人他连看都懒得多看一眼.

Han Jing felt she was a weirdo too—other women can’t wait for their husbands to stay as far away from another woman as possible, while she was deeply frustrated by Su Yu’s communication barrier with another woman. If anyone was to blame, it was that snake of a Xia Ling for poisoning him so badly.

She remembered when Xiao Xue was very little, An’an would often play with Xiao Xue, telling her stories and teaching her lessons and morals. At the time Han Jing found it strange—she couldn’t understand anyway, so what was the point of saying all that? But An’an, being a doctor, was very serious and earnest as she told her that a person’s personality starts forming between zero and three years old, so guidance during that period is extremely important.

Han Jing thought sympathetically that the flaws in Su Yu’s character at home...well, they really were completely caused by Xia Ling’s damage.

Her thoughts were running a bit far.

”Oh, I almost forgot,” Han Jing looked at Xia Wu: ”Sister Xia Wu, um, Su Huan is still in the cell—could you let him out? He still doesn’t know the truth about what happened, he’s about to go stupid in there.”

Xia Wu nodded and ordered someone to release Su Huan.

She was also grateful that back then, when she lost her reason and couldn’t accept the truth for a time, she had insisted that Su Huan pay the price, suffer a fate worse than death, so she had locked him up alone. Ordinary people couldn’t get into the dungeon—thanks to that, his life was preserved.

Otherwise...by now, he probably would’ve already been killed by Miao Ke.

They brought Su Huan over. Ning Shiqi went up to take Su Huan’s pulse and said, ”He’s fine now. Miao Ke probably only wanted to use him—if the poison was too strong, it would draw suspicion. So the Gu Worm was very low level, and its effect period was short.”

Xia Wu roughly explained everything to Su Huan, then sighed: ”Huan’er, I know how much you cared about Zhu’er. In this matter all of us are victims, and I wronged you, made you suffer. I know your heart is heavy too. Now that Zhu’er is gone, you should go back. Having once loved her, even though her life was brief, it should have been a happy one. I ought to thank you for giving her a stretch of time filled with happiness.”

Xia Wu ultimately could not walk out of the pain of losing Zhu’er, yet now nothing could be undone. Miao Ke had taken advantage of her state of mind to poison and control her, causing so many innocent deaths and injuries. Since she inherited the post of Island Master of Xia Gui Island, she had never caused such chaos.

It was likely not only the common people in the city—even the clansfolk’s hearts must be filled with panic.

If he hadn’t exploited her psychology, how could Miao Ke have controlled her so easily?

Too many people had already been hurt by this; it couldn’t go on like this.

Her Zhu’er had been such a kind, good child. It was she who had failed to be a good mother. She had wanted with all her heart to give her more and better, yet in the end she hadn’t managed to do anything.

So for Zhu’er, the happiest, most joyful time in her life should have been the days she spent with Su Huan. It was also fortunate she’d saved Su Huan’s life; otherwise, how would she ever explain herself to her Zhu’er?

Su Huan only shook his head numbly. At this point, what meaning did right or wrong still have?

”I want to see her one last time.”
