Chapter 169 Dad, I...I'm in pain.

But the next second...

The old man suddenly hugged her.

I kept apologizing to her.

"What's wrong, Mom? Don't scare us."

The people nearby were so anxious when they saw Grandma Qiao suddenly like this that they paced around in circles like ants on a hot pan.

Grandma Qiao hugged Qiao Qiao and cried for a long time.

After managing to calm herself down, she finally spoke of the guilt she had been carrying in her heart all this time.

She looked at Qiao Qiao: "I'm sorry, Grandma is sorry to you, I'm sorry to my sweet baby, Grandma..."

Qiao Qiao was stunned by what Grandma Qiao said.

She stared blankly at Grandma Qiao, who looked guilty and kept apologizing to her.

She knew she couldn't blame Grandma Qiao; Grandma Qiao's actions were perfectly understandable.

She wasn't her biological daughter, and it's not that she didn't love her. If the child in Chen Yulian's belly really was her father's, then she would indeed be in a difficult position...

But,

But--

Her heart still aches terribly.

It was as if something she had always firmly believed in had collapsed and crumbled in that instant.

She wanted to tell Grandma Qiao.

It's okay, I don't blame you.

But she couldn't bring herself to say it.

She was in so much pain.

"Dad...I...I feel unwell."

Qiao Qiao turned her head, like a wounded cub seeking refuge, frantically searching for her safe haven.

When they found Qiao Changdong, who was stunned to hear Grandma Qiao's words, they found him.

The tears that had been welling up in her eyes burst forth instantly.

It just wouldn't stop no matter what I did.

Qiao Changdong's heart was breaking.

He strode forward, pulled Qiao Qiao into his arms, buried her head tightly in his chest, and kissed her forehead repeatedly.

"Don't feel bad, my sweet baby, don't feel bad. Daddy's here, Daddy's always here."
