Chapter 174 Dad said she was the child of his savior 3
Su Su's small body appeared even more delicate in the soft light, and her eyes seemed to be glued shut by an invisible layer of glue.
Despite her efforts to keep her eyes open, she couldn't resist the overwhelming drowsiness and could only pitifully murmur, "Mommy, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."
Her voice was slightly muffled and soft, like a spoiled kitten.
Cao Ke gently bent down and carefully picked up Su.
Looking closely at the little girl in his arms, Cao Ke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her expression was normal.
It seems that Su Su either didn't hear or understand the content of their conversation.
"Ah Su is sleepy! Mom will take you to bed now."
As Cao Ke spoke gently, she patted Su Su's back lightly and walked gracefully toward the bedroom.
Just as Cao Ke put Su Su on the bed, before she could even tuck her in, she heard Su Su say with a hint of grievance and stubbornness, "Mom, I don't like that older sister, I don't want an older sister!"
Her little eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and her lips unconsciously pouted.
"why?"
Cao Ke gently rubbed Su Su's fair and tender face. Looking at his daughter's cute and earnest appearance, his heart melted completely.
Su Su blinked her eyes, which seemed to hold stars, and explained in a childish voice.
"If I were to call her 'sister,' wouldn't that mean my brothers and sisters would also be her brothers and sisters? Then my brothers and sisters wouldn't just be Susu's brothers and sisters alone. Susu doesn't want that."
At the end, he shook his head vigorously to emphasize his determination.
"Pfft," Cao Ke couldn't help but laugh out loud, gently tapping Su Su's nose and saying, "My darling Su Su is so possessive!"
Then, she gently placed Su Su on the bed, softly stroking her hair with eyes full of affection.
Just then, Su Su's older brothers and sisters seemed to have been summoned and gathered around the bed.
They chatted with Su Su, touching her little hands and kissing her cheeks, being affectionate and clingy.
As Cao Ke watched this heartwarming scene, a barely perceptible hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
She leaned down slightly, getting closer to Su Su, her expression becoming somewhat serious, and whispered her instructions.
"Sweetie, be good. Daddy's busy, don't come near him, okay? Otherwise Mommy, your brother, and your sister will be angry and won't talk to you anymore!"
older brother and sister also
"Ah~"
Su Su yawned widely, her shoulders slumped weakly over her sister's, her eyelids drooping heavily, and she squinted her eyes drowsily, completely immersed in a deep sleep.
However, when her hand accidentally touched her sister's black gloves, her sister seemed to be stung by something and quickly pulled her hand back, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. Although she tried to hide it, Cao Ke still keenly caught it.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze for a moment. Su Su looked at her sister dazedly because of her sister's shaking.
"Sister, what's wrong!"
"It's okay, go to sleep! Go to sleep! Susu, everything will be alright when you wake up."
Cao Ke gently coaxed her, and her sister hid her hands.
Then, with Su Su's even and light breathing, everything seemed to return to calm, but looking at Su Su's fair and tender face, Cao Ke's heart stirred with a ripple.
She was dreaming again.
Her marriage to Suzhou was an arranged marriage between their families, due to a large business deal. They got married after only a short period of contact.
Gradually, Cao Ke developed a liking for Suzhou. Suzhou had no bad habits, and at least it wasn't as unbearable as Cao Ke had imagined.
The two dated from time to time and understood each other.
She soon became pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.
The birth of her two children was her nightmare.
Both children are adorable, and she can imagine what they will look like when they grow up.
But when she pushed the door open that day, what she saw was her husband grabbing and biting the foot of one of their children.
The other child's hand was also covered in blood.
The husband's mouth was covered in glaring bloodstains, the crimson color shimmering eerily under the cold, hard incandescent light, dripping onto the ground and pooling into a puddle of blood.
His eyes, which once held a gentle gaze, were now filled with a chilling satisfaction and greed, as if he were not enjoying his own flesh and blood, but a long-awaited feast.
Her world collapsed in that instant, and a piercing scream burst from her throat, shattering the suffocating silence in the room.
Only now did she realize with horror that Suzhou, where she shared a bed, harbored such a chilling and morbid secret, and that it had an evil and twisted desire for the tender flesh of children.
Panic quickly spread through her body. Her first reaction was to rush over and hug her child tightly with trembling arms, wanting to escape this hellish home immediately, end this terrible marriage, and take her child to a safe place, away from this nightmarish reality.
However, the intricate web of interests among the families was like an invisible yet resilient net, leaving her completely unable to move.
Especially when the Suzhou family offered a staggering sum of money as compensation in an attempt to quell the storm, the family's balance began to tip.
Suzhou knelt before her, tears streaming down her face, her desperate and remorseful expression deeply moving.
He promised to transfer all his shares to her and their child without reservation, as if to prove his determination to turn over a new leaf.
He cried and confessed his mistakes while slapping himself hard across the face. The loud slaps echoed in the room, each one like a blow to Cao Ke's already wounded heart.
Those around her, her relatives and friends who were blinded by family interests and worldly views, surrounded her and earnestly advised her to calm down, to think about her family, and to give Suzhou a chance to continue this marriage on the surface.
Under the persuasion of the crowd, Cao Ke felt that her strength was so insignificant, and her struggles and resistance seemed so powerless.
Left with no other choice, she had to compromise, suppressing her fear and disgust, and continue to maintain the precarious shell of her marriage with Suzhou.
As promised, Suzhou began taking her medication on time and seeing a psychologist regularly.
Cao Ke dared not slacken her efforts in the slightest; her gaze remained fixed on the child, and she dared not relax for even a moment.
To ensure her child's safety, she became almost obsessive, carefully installing surveillance cameras in every corner of the house.
But later, Suzhou seemed to really get better.
