If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 936 - She Cant Cry

Chapter 936 -936: She Can’t Cry
She had never doubted a single word that Shen Chi said before, the fact was, she hadn’t thought that much about it.
But now, the butler’s crying had planted seeds of doubt in her heart…
The butler was a person who took the bigger picture into account; it wasn’t like him to cry in such a place, and moreover, to cry in front of Shen Chi…
Xu Chaomu held her breath, and at that moment, only the sound of the air conditioner could be heard in the room.
She hadn’t misheard, outside, not far away, the butler was still crying.
Xu Chaomu’s heart was suddenly slashed by an invisible knife, again and again, a bad premonition slid across her mind; her eyes instantly filled with pain and embarrassment.
On an impulse, she got out of bed, not caring about anything else!
Just as she walked to the door in her slippers, about to open it, suddenly, her hand retracted…
Actually… there was no need to ask, nothing needed to be asked.
The butler crying in front of Shen Chi, Shen Chi’s exhausted demeanor, she didn’t need to ask, she should have known.
Something had happened to the little bun.
If it were just a trivial matter, the butler wouldn’t be crying, so not only had something happened, but it could very well be…
Her pupils dilated, more and more; her hand clutched the doorknob, trembling uncontrollably.
Her entire body was shaking violently, no, her baby…
She had just been talking to Shen Chi about picking a pet name for the baby, and now…
Her mind exploded in an instant; stars were bursting in front of her eyes, a wave of darkness set in!

She held onto the doorknob tightly, her body leaning against the wall, preventing herself from collapsing.
Her long black hair hung over her shoulders, her complexion turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
Outside, the butler continued crying, albeit more quietly.
Now, Chaomu was leaning against the wall, she could hear all sorts of chaotic sounds from outside, but her ears automatically blocked them out, she was only searching for the butler’s voice.
“Young Master… is Chaomu’s mood okay?” the butler asked softly.
“I haven’t told her yet,” Shen Chi answered indifferently.
“That’s good, don’t tell her for the next half month. A woman in postpartum confinement should not cry, nor should her mood be too low,” the butler shook his head and said.
“Mm.”
“Young Master, rest assured, just now I lost control, I will manage my emotions in front of Chaomu, but I still need some time.”
“Okay,” Shen Chi still remained expressionless.
Only then did the butler nod and wipe away her tears.
This time, Xu Chaomu completely understood, her baby was gone, gone!
Her baby, the little one who had been in her womb for seven months, the baby she had eagerly awaited… was gone.
Heh…
They were all hiding it from her, none of them had said a word to her, and even, they hadn’t allowed her to see her baby even once!
This time, she slumped to the floor, covering her face, in utter despair.
She squatted in the corner, her gaze blank and lifeless.
The noise outside continued, and the butler said, “Then Young Master, I’ll leave the situation here to two servants who are unaware. I think I should go home… to recover…”
Shen Chi didn’t speak, so the butler took his silence as consent.
Even if Shen Chi disagreed, she needed to go back and have some peace; she was too upset, she would certainly burst into tears if she saw Chaomu now.
Why was that girl’s fate so cruel…
“Young Master, if there’s nothing else to instruct, I’ll go back to Waterside Pavillion, and along the way, investigate the cause of the child’s premature birth,” the butler said.
Xu Chaomu didn’t hear Shen Chi speak, or perhaps, he spoke and she didn’t hear.
She got up from the bed, leaning against the wall, taking steps one by one towards the bed.
Each step she took was abnormally hard; it felt as if the distance from the door to the bedside was as vast as from one end of the earth to the other.
She picked up a mirror and wiped her face. It was alright, except that the area around her eyes was red, there was nothing else.
She lay back down on the bed and silently pretended to sleep.
Her heart was still churning with huge waves, unable to calm down.
Yes, her baby was gone, how could she be calm…
She wanted to cry, but she held back. She couldn’t cry.
Since Shen Chi and the butler were both earnestly keeping it from her, she had to act as if she knew nothing. Apart from that, she had no choice…
She lay with her eyes closed, her face full of despair and indifference.
After a long time, the room’s door was finally pushed open, it was Shen Chi’s footsteps.
Upon returning and seeing Xu Chaomu asleep, Shen Chi lightened his footsteps and did not come in, but instead walked back out.
It was better that she was asleep. At least, now that his emotions were fluctuating again, he feared he wouldn’t be able to control himself upon seeing Xu Chaomu.
Now was better.
Only, the butler could escape back to the Waterside Pavillion when he wanted some peace, but Shen Chi could not.
He had to face Xu Chaomu every day, thinking about how to make his lies more convincing each time.
He didn’t want to deceive Xu Chaomu, but now, he had to keep up the pretense.
So it was that Xu Chaomu slept on the bed, while Shen Chi found a secluded spot to smoke.
Shen Chi only returned at lunchtime.
That day, Xu Chaomu didn’t bring up the baby at all, because he had told her to wait two days, and she obediently didn’t mention it again.
Shen Chi truly wished she would never bring it up again, but he knew it was just wishful thinking…
On the third day after the child’s birth, Xu Chaomu “casually” mentioned, “Husband, how is our baby doing now?”
While speaking, she kept her gaze fixed on Shen Chi’s eyes.
Shen Chi’s eyes were still bloodshot, that redness had not faded at all, and the dark circles under Shen Chi’s eyes were getting heavier.
“The doctor says she’s recovering well but still needs to stay in the incubator. She said you should rest up first, and in a couple of days, when the little bun is completely alright, she’ll take you to see her,” Shen Chi said.
Xu Chaomu nodded and smiled, “Okay, take me to see her in a couple of days.”
“Of course.”
Both had their own thoughts weighing on their minds, but neither of them spoke, especially Xu Chaomu. She didn’t at all expose Shen Chi’s lies.
And Shen Chi had no idea that Xu Chaomu already knew something had happened to the child.
On the surface, they seemed harmonious, but underneath, there were turbulent waves. Neither of their hearts were at ease.
“By the way, have you gone to see the baby? Have you thought of a nickname for her?!” Xu Chaomu said with a cold huff.
“I haven’t gone to see the baby yet; she’s still in isolation. There’s no rush for that, right? And as for the nickname, let’s think of one together later,” Shen Chi said.
“I don’t want to think about it with you; these past two days I have been feeling sleepy again, always wanting to sleep,” Xu Chaomu said.
“Then you should rest more, and I’ll think of one, is that okay?”
“Alright!” Xu Chaomu crisply agreed.
Shen Chi curved the corners of his lips, smiling at her.
Xu Chaomu smiled too. She knew that for him to smile at her now took a lot of courage…
Similarly, for her to smile at him also required enormous courage.
For the past two days, the two of them continued to live together without any issues, natural and harmonious.
