I looked at Han Dai who hadn't mentioned her severed finger at all, displaying a rather defeated demeanor, and I felt less repulsion towards her.
I glanced at the location of her severed finger, the wound had already been professionally dressed.
I was just about to ask Han Dai if she had gotten a tetanus shot.
After all, the wire that injured her was covered in rust.
The old butler came over carrying a metal box with a cooling feature, and gave both me and Han Dai a tetanus shot.
Only then did I remember that my own hand had also been cut by the wire, feeling somewhat relieved. I gratefully said to the old butler, "Thank you, Grandfather Butler, you really think of everything."
I really had been careless; if it hadn't been for that tetanus shot, I would have been at risk too.
If it had struck then, it would have been the end of me.
"This was all Young Master Yun's doing." The old butler very professionally administered our tetanus shots and then left immediately.
I was quite surprised inside. Yun Hao was gravely injured, yet his mind was still so meticulous.
"Bai Yinman, have you ever seen anything in the photos?"
I showed Bai Yinman the hook-shaped Jade Pendant from my phone's photo gallery.
Bai Yinman looked over, her gaze suddenly fixed, "Miss Wan, you can't mean...you mean to say that I had complications in childbirth because of this?"
"Yinman, isn't this the birthday gift from Hu Jiao? A rare Emperor's green, many people envy your friendship." Han Dai blurted out, then her brows lightly furrowed, as if she understood something, "If it really is the Jade Pendant that caused the trouble, it's not just a matter of plastic friendship, Hu Jiao really has a wicked heart."
I revealed the truth, "The jade is fine, but the Jade Pendant has been cursed with a spell by the Forbidden Woman. Any pregnant woman who comes into contact with such a Jade Pendant will have complications during childbirth."
Bai Yinman went crazy, snatching my phone to look intently, her beautiful eyes nearly splitting with rage.
After a while, her tears fell one by one, and, trembling, she pulled out the Jade Pendant from under her sweater, "Hu Jiao!! To think I trusted you so much!! Keeping the gift you gave me close to my body... Congcong... Congcong was killed by me... I really killed Congcong myself, Congcong... Mommy was so foolish…"
The Jade Pendant was indeed intended to harm pregnant women; it wouldn't have affected anyone else simply wearing it.
At that moment, removing it was actually pointless.
Bai Yinman placed Congcong on her lap, descending into madness, pulling wildly at the red cord around her neck trying to remove the Jade Pendant, but her hands lost all sense of measure.
Not only could she not remove the Jade Pendant, but the chaotic force she used nearly broke her own neck.
The little Congcong looked up at her hysterical mother, her bright eyes full of confusion and worry.
Her lips gently met as she was too timid to make a sound.
All I felt for Bai Yinman was sympathy as a fellow mother; I got up, helped her take off the Jade Pendant and threw it on the coffee table, "Enough, how can you scare Congcong ?"
Her fair neck was marked with fresh, bleeding red lines.
From the initial madness until I mentioned her daughter, Bai Yinman tearfully pulled the frightened, dumbfounded Congcong into her embrace, "Congcong darling, don't be scared, mommy scared you, didn't she?" This content belongs to novel※fire.net
"Mommy, it hurts." Congcong's tiny hand touched Bai Yinman's injured, bleeding neck.
Bai Yinman grabbed Congcong's small hand, kissed her adorable little fingers, and asked me with a quivering voice, "Miss Wan, how did you know that Hu Jiao gave me a hook jade, and that this hook jade was problematic? Only a few people in our circle know about this."
"I have my own ways and resources." I poured a cup of water for Bai Yinman and handed it to her, "You and Han Dai both have conflicts of interest with Hu Jiao, so she chose a strategy to kill two birds with one stone, trapping you both."
