A second chance with my billionaire husband

Waking up at dusk two days later, Anna had been keeping watch by her bedside, and when she saw her wake up, she exclaimed with delight: "You’re finally awake."

She quickly ran out to call the doctor. After examining her, the doctor said the surgery was very successful. Her waking up meant she was out of danger. The doctor gave some instructions and then left.

Xi Lin pursed her dried lips, and when she spoke, her voice was terribly hoarse: "Where’s Lorde?"

Anna couldn’t help but chuckle through tears, the first thing she asked was about Lorde. Why didn’t she ask where she was, whether in Heaven or Hell?

Anna poured her a glass of water and fed her a little at a time. After Xi Lin eagerly swallowed, she grabbed Anna’s hand and pressed, "Where’s Lorde? Is he okay?"

"Don’t worry, he’s fine, perfectly fine." Anna said irritably.

Xi Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and as she relaxed, the wound on her shoulder hurt badly, causing her to frown.

"You know how to feel pain? When you rushed in to shield him from the bullet, why didn’t you think about whether you would die or not? Your father only has one daughter, if you died, would you have your father bury his own child?"

As Anna scolded her, Xi Lin remained silent.

Anna sighed, tucked her in a little better: "Rest well, let me call Uncle Haize to let him know you’re safe...."

With that, she picked up her phone and walked out.

Xi Lin thought about what happened that day. She had asked Hasan to kill Princess Shengxi, but who knew Hasan would turn on her and shoot Lorde. It must have been Lemp...

Xi Lin gritted her teeth in hatred, this man dared to deceive her.

But what happened afterward? Did Princess Shengxi die? Was the engagement ceremony held? These were things she was desperate to know.

After finishing her call, Anna came in to see Xi Lin struggling to get up and quickly went over to support her: "What are you doing?"

"Tell me what happened afterward? Is Princess Shengxi still alive?"

"Of course she’s alive, and she’s doing just fine."

Xi Lin clenched her fists, closed her eyes in despair.

"Even if Hasan had killed that princess, you wouldn’t have gotten your way."

Xi Lin shot a cold glance over.

Anna sighed: "The woman who appeared then was not Princess Shengxi at all, but someone Princess Shengxi hired to impersonate her."

Xi Lin gritted her teeth: "That woman is so cunning." Did she know her plan in advance, thus finding someone to take the fall?

Anna really didn’t like how Xi Lin was so irrational because of a man. She pondered for a moment and briefly recounted what happened that day, omitting some details.

"You mean that woman Queen was actually one of Erlang’s people? She even tried to emulate Erlang in world domination?" Xi Lin said in surprise.

Immediately, her eyes flashed with disdain: "Her ambitions are too big. Erlang was nothing but a failure, infamous worldwide, what does she count as? It’s simply ridiculous."

"The matter was sealed off by those above, and it hasn’t spread outside yet, to avoid causing social upheaval. You better keep your mouth shut, or your family will attract trouble," Anna reminded her.

Xi Lin dismissively smiled.

"And what about the princess? With Queen globally wanted, as her daughter, she must naturally be hunted like a rat crossing the street, right?" There was a hint of triumph in her eyes and eyebrows.

It was entirely of her own doing, this way, there was no longer any possibility with Lorde.

"She..." Anna pondered her words, "Queen was killed by her."

"What?" Xi Lin was shocked and sat up straight, pulling her shoulder wound and wincing in pain.

Anna said plainly: "At the time, no one expected her to actually raise a knife against her own mother, but she did it. Even though Queen escaped in the end, she probably wouldn’t survive. That knife not only hit a vital spot, but it also had deadly poison smeared on it. Queen’s survival chances are very slim." Even now, thinking back, that scene still makes one’s heart shudder.

Xi Lin let out a cold laugh: "Truly worthy of being mother and daughter, both killing each other. It’s really too amusing."

Anna didn’t find it amusing at all, a tragedy of conflict between mother and daughter.

She felt a bit of pity for that girl seen that day, who possessed both stunning beauty and elegant demeanor, and intelligence and courage that ordinary people did not have, at least...

She looked down at the proud and complacent woman in the hospital bed, Xi Lin simply could not be compared to her.

The gap between people is destined.
