?Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Love is Love, No Need for So Many Whys   Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Love is Love, No Need for So Many Whys                                   Jiang Pen already felt dizzy, but she still asked thest question, “Mo Chen, why do you like my daughter? Is it just because she’s beautiful?”


    The man’s tall figure moved steadily forward, his dark eyes focusing on the ground at Jiang Pen’s feet.


    He spoke slowly in a deep voice, “When you love, you love, there’s not so many whys.”


    Jiang Pen snorted coldly, “Impossible! Men are all the same, they never like a woman for no reason.”


    Jiang Pen wanted to know what exactly Mo Chen was infatuated with about Qiao Ruoxin. What if one day the love disappeared? Would he abandon Qiao Ruoxin then?


    She didn’t want Qiao Ruoxin to make the same mistakes again, let alone walk the same path she had taken.


    The next second!


    Suddenly, Mo Chen stepped forward, pulling Jiang Pen to the ground. At that moment, everything before Jiang Pen’s eyes became blurry as the world spun around her, and she gradually lost consciousness.


    The man looked at Jiang Pen, who hadpletely passed out, then picked up a medicine bottle next to her, noting that she had taken more than half a bottle of sleeping pills.


    Behind him, Xiaowu had also followed, “Master Mo!”


    “She took more than half a bottle of sleeping pills, rush her to the hospital to get her stomach pumped.”


    “Yes, the ambnce is already downstairs.”


    Xiaowu proactively stepped forward, lifting Jiang Pen’s body, and quickly turned towards the exit.


    Mo Chen walked to the edge of the rooftop, peering down at the height below, his eyes narrowing slightly. It seemed that he wasn’t just putting on a show, but had truly resolved to seek death.


    There were no significant changes on the handsome face of the man as he turned away indifferently.


    …


    Hospital.


    Jiang Pen was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and began the painful process of stomach pumping.


    Four hourster, she was transferred to a high-level ward to rest, her face pale as if she’d been through death and back,pletely devoid of life.


    Mo Chen stood in the hallway, his handsome face coldly watching the door of the hospital room.


    At this moment, at three o’clock in the morning, the hospital was eerily silent.


    Suddenly, the sound of a vibrating phone broke the silence, the vibration sounding unusually clear in such a still environment.


    The man took out his phone to look, unsurprised to find that it was Little Ghost who had called.


    He turned and walked to the window, overlooking the hospital garden’s nightscape, and answered the phone, putting it to his ear, “Why are you still awake?”


    “Did you find her?”


    “Mhm, just finished the stomach pumping, now resting in the ward.”


    The voice of Qiao Ruoxin on the other end of the phone changed, “Stomach pumping? Did she take sleeping pills? Did she really try tomit suicide?”


    “Mhm.”


    “Can I go to the hospital now?” Qiao Ruoxin’s voice on the other end was filled with anger.


    “Come over tomorrow morning. I’m keeping watch for you now, does that put your mind at ease?”


    “Mhm, thank you, Brother Mo Chen.”


    “Go to sleep, I’ll have them bring you over in the morning.”


    “Brother Mo Chen, make sure you find some time to sleep too.”


    “Mhm.”


    After hanging up the phone, Mo Chen’s gaze darkened, and he pressed his lips tightly together.


    What was Jiang Pen’s intention with this move?


    A death threat?


    On the quiet hallway, suddenly another set of deep, approaching footsteps could be heard growing closer.


    Mo Chen turned his head to look, seeing Simon appear in the hallway and steadily closing in.


    Ayer of frost covered his handsome features in an instant, his eyes narrowing, a dangerous aura enveloping his entire being.


    “How is Auntie Lan?” Simon seemed not surprised to see Mo Chen and went straight to the point.


    Mo Chen let out a sound of disdainful, coldughter, “Attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills, has just had her stomach pumped, she’s resting inside.”


    Having said that, the man looked at his wristwatch, “Since she’s your stepmother, you’d better look after her.”


    After speaking, Mo Chen turned to leave.


    Simon didn’t stop him, but he clearly saw the wedding ring on Mo Chen’s ring finger, causing his pupils to abruptly tighten.


    Even the wedding ring was on. Were they really going to get married?


    Simon watched Mo Chen’s retreating figure in silence for a while, then turned and pushed open the door to the hospital room and entered.


    The hospital room was quiet and empty.


    Jiang Pen was already awake, but she hadn’t called for anyone; instead, she justy quietly on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.


    Upon hearing the door open, Jiang Pen nced over, then coughed twice, trying to sit up.


    Having just had her stomach pumped, she was feeling terrible and had no strength; her face as pale as paper.


    Simon walked over, helped Jiang Pen sit up, and ced a pillow behind her.


    “Why are you here…”


    “Auntie Lan, was it necessary to do this?” Simon pulled up a chair nearby and sat down; he didn’t understand the purpose behind Jiang Pen’s actions.


    Jiang Pen’s lips were pale, moving slowly, “I’m tired; I wanted to rest…”


    “Then you should go back to the United States. My father and I can handle everything here.”


    “Handle what? Must you take Ruoxin back at all costs? I realized today that she’s unhappy with us; she’s not happy at all. I don’t want to make her unhappy anymore!”


    As Jiang Pen spoke, tears fell from her eyes.


    Simonughed, “Who asked her to have the blood of the Lawrence Family running through her veins? That is an unchangeable fact.”


    “Why didn’t you tell me your father was so seriously ill?”


    “It was father’s wish not to say anything; he didn’t want to worry you.” Simon remained expressionless, as if all of this had little to do with him.


    Jiang Pen looked at Simon and said, “He asked you to get Ruoxin back by any means, right?”


    “…”


    Simon didn’t speak, tacitly acknowledging it.


    But Jiang Pen smiled through her tears, “Simon, please give it up, okay? Maybe we all should have our own lives, and you don’t have to obey your father in everything.”


    However, Simonughed, augh tinged with destion, “What choice do I have when this very life was given to me by him? Do I have the right to say no? Auntie Lan, only if I marry Ruoxin, can I attain freedom in the future.”


    After saying that, Simon stood up, ready to leave.


    Jiang Pen called out to his retreating back, “But Ruoxin will then lose her freedom forever, why sacrifice her?”


    Simon halted in his steps and let out a cold snicker, “Someone has to make a sacrifice, and besides, is freedom really that important? Aside from freedom, she can have the vast Lawrence Family.”


    The sound of the door closing echoed.


    Jiang Pen sat back on the bed, tears silently streaming down her face.


    Perhaps she should never have married into the Lawrence Family two years ago, let alone imprison Qiao Ruoxin in the United States for two years. She was the root cause of all this.


    “What a sin… truly a sin.”


    If Lawrence did end up causing harm to those twins, she would never forgive that man for the rest of her life, unforgivable!


    …


    In the hallway.


    Simon’s facecked its usual warmth, and his eyes were filled with coldness. His steps were heavy and grim.


    In his mind, he saw the wedding ring on Mo Chen’s ring finger again. Even the wedding ring was on, heh…


    Qiao Ruoxin really loved thoroughly, giving herselfpletely away to Mo Chen.
