Chapter 622: She’s Just an 18-Year-Old Girl, But She Has to Carry Such a Huge Responsibility
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pei Yao felt that Chi Jiao looked very tired.
Her heart ached.
A girl of Chi Jiao’s age with such a good family background should be carefree, but she was burdened with so many things.
She was just 18 years old, but she had to carry such a huge responsibility.
“Jiaojiao, it’s better to go to the hospital for a checkup,” Pei Yao said gently.
Chi Jiao shook her head gently. “I know my own body. I just want to go home now.”
She was a little tired and needed to return to her safe haven to seek comfort.
Home was where Quan Jue was.
All she wanted to do now was to see Quan Jue, lie in his arms, and have a good sleep.
Pei Yao and Huo Chen looked at each other and saw the deep helplessness in each other’s eyes.
“Alright, then. Officer Huo, please send Jiaojiao home first,” Pei Yao said.
Huo Chen nodded and started the car.
Along the way, Chi Jiao did not say anything. She rested her head on the car window and looked out with her big eyes.
Pei Yao and Huo Chen would occasionally glance at her with worried eyes.
The car came to a stop at the entrance of the Chi family’s house. Chi Jiao got out of the car and bent over to say to them, “Officer Huo, Sister Pei Yao, be careful on the road.”
“Have a good rest for the next couple of days,” Pei Yao said worriedly.
Chi Jiao nodded and waved at them before walking into the house.
Before leaving, Chi Jiao told Quan Jue that she had a mission today.
Therefore, after Quan Jue returned home, he waited in the living room for her to return.
It would be a lie to say that he was not worried.
Quan Jue’s heart was in his throat.
But in order not to hinder Chi Jiao from completing her mission, he didn’t call her.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and footsteps coming from the entryway, Quan Jue immediately stood up and walked over.
Chi Jiao entered the living room and saw Quan Jue walking towards her. She threw herself into his arms.
“Brother Quan, hug me…”
The girl sounded tired.
Quan Jue immediately held her in his arms.
Smelling the blood on her, he immediately lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms.
There were dried bloodstains on Chi Jiao’s clothes and hands.
“Are you injured?” The young man’s voice trembled.
“No, this blood belongs to Zou Xingxing.” Chi Jiao buried her face in Quan Jue’s chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. She whispered, “She died to protect me. I didn’t expect her to do that.”
She was really surprised that Zou Xingxing would choose to fight against She Qi for her.
Although Chi Jiao’s tone was very calm, Quan Jue could imagine how much danger she must have been in during this mission.
He patted Chi Jiao’s back gently.
“Go back to your room. Take a shower and change your clothes, okay?” He sounded like he was coaxing a child.
Chi Jiao nodded gently.
Lifting her into his arms, Quan Jue carried Chi Jiao upstairs to her room.
When they reached the room, Quan Jue placed Chi Jiao on the sofa and went to the bathroom to help her prepare some hot water.
After Quan Jue went to the bathroom, Chi Jiao took out a scale from her pocket.
The scale had already become dull and dry, like that of a dead fish.
