Bo Shiwu and the children seemed to be frozen in place, unable to utter a single word.
He didn't know why Qiao He would say such things, suddenly lose her temper, and lock herself in her small room.
The seven kittens were stunned; they were completely dumbfounded.
Qiao Jin asked worriedly, "Mommy... what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly being mean to us?"
"Mommy, what happened? We can talk this out." Qiao Li's voice trembled slightly. In fact, he didn't understand why his mother had become like this either.
Job and the others were even more so. Qiao Yin went up and scratched at the door, saying, "Mommy, open the door quickly! What's wrong with you? Are you still dreaming because you had a nightmare?"
Qiao Hua stared blankly at the tightly closed door, her voice trembling as she meowed. For some reason, Qiao Hua was terrified; she had a feeling that something had happened to Qiao He…
Could it be that Mommy is going to abandon them?!
The kittens all thought of this at the same time, but they quickly abandoned this impossible idea.
Because...because Mommy won't abandon them!
The kittens know Qiao He's heart; no matter what happens, she will never abandon them.
Qiao He once thought the same way.
But now, she has no choice but to do it.
When she became a burden to the kittens and the misty forest, everything changed.
Bo Shiwu knocked on the door and said coldly, "Qiao He, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao He remained silent.
She dragged her exhausted body, preparing to escape from here.
Because she knew that if she waited any longer, Bo Shiwu would definitely break down the door.
This man is so good, she can't let him down...
And the kittens, they're mammals too, what if they get infected...?
Qiao He couldn't believe it; they didn't have any medicine to treat the plague at all!
This is a disease that once ravaged humanity!
There is still no specific cure...
She certainly wouldn't have any in her possession. The system had already told her that unless she could tough it out herself, this disease would only mean certain death.
die!
Qiao He's eyes were red and bloodshot, and tears welled up in them without her noticing.
Qiao He wrote a message on a piece of paper, which was for Bo Shiwu, Lin Qiao, and... the kittens.
It could be considered a last will and testament before his death.
The anxious cries of the kittens came again from outside the door, along with Bo Shiwu's urgent knocking.
Her wrists trembled, and she could barely hold the pen.
Tears mixed with sweat streamed down his chin, landing heavily on the pristine white paper.
It's all written in black and white, clear and unambiguous.
Qiao He had arranged everything perfectly, except for one person... herself.
She has to leave this place...
We can't stay here any longer, or one day we'll spread the disease to them!
Bo Shiwu's voice grew increasingly anxious: "Qiao He!?"
"Open the door! What are you doing in there? What happened?!"
Qiao Li and Qiao Bu were also anxious, but they didn't break down the door because they were hoping that Qiao He would open the door herself and come out to explain what had happened.
At this moment, Lin Qiao came down from the second floor, looking puzzled and tired: "Xiao Bo, what's wrong?"
Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "Qiao He has locked herself in her room and refuses to come out, I don't know what happened."
Lin Qiao's drowsiness vanished instantly, and she hurriedly ran down the stairs, asking, "What? What happened?"
"Ahe! Ahe, open the door! What happened to you?! Open the door and let's talk this out..." Lin Qiao pleaded earnestly.
At this moment, Qiao He had finished writing the last line.
She put down her pen and placed the letter in a corner, not very conspicuous, but Qiao He believed they would find it.
After writing her will, Qiao He used her special ability to draw a picture.
The figure on that piece of paper wasn't some other paper figure; it was herself.
She created herself.
A second later, the paper doll "Qiao He" came to life. She opened her eyes and looked at Qiao He sadly: "I'm here. What do you want me to do?"
Qiao He took a deep breath and told her through her mind to pretend to be her, and to keep it up for at least an hour.
This is already the limit of her superpower.
Qiao He has to leave this place.
Otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable.
The paper doll Qiao He nodded and said softly, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll do my best."
Qiao He nodded, "Okay, it's up to you..."
After saying this, Qiao He dragged her exhausted body out of the window and staggered out of the villa.
But Bo Shiwu and the others were unaware of all this.
Time ticked by, and just as Bo Shiwu was about to bang on the door, Qiao He's voice suddenly came from inside: "Huh? I just... I think I had a nightmare. Sorry, was I sleepwalking?"
"How strange."
The paper doll Qiao He muttered to herself as she opened the door.
Bo Shiwu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Was it really sleepwalking?"
The paper doll Qiao He rubbed her eyes sleepily and yawned: "Yeah, so sleepy... Ugh, I'm sorry for making you all come down here, and the little ones too."
Qiao He, the paper doll, squatted down and gently stroked the kittens' heads. The kittens were so aggrieved, afraid that their mother would abandon them.
Thank goodness... thank goodness Mom still wants them!
Bo Shiwu breathed a sigh of relief, as did Lin Qiao.
"Ah He, you scared me to death! I thought something had happened to you..." Lin Qiao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead; it seemed to be a false alarm.
The paper doll Qiao He smiled, revealing a set of tiny teeth, and said playfully, "I'm sorry, Grandma, for making you worry. Okay, everyone go back and rest."
"Oh right, kids, you should sleep with the baby tonight. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares again and sleepwalk, and I might accidentally step on you."
After saying this, Qiao He, the paper doll, didn't give the kids a chance to refuse. She turned around and went upstairs, then locked the door after entering the room.
The kittens looked at each other in confusion, and Job whispered, "Mommy...this is strange."
"Yes, it's a bit strange, but it really is a mommy." Qiao Jin tilted her head slightly, her crystal-clear eyes full of confusion.
Qiao Yin was silent for a while, "I guess Mom is in a bad mood right now, and she's probably afraid of hurting us. Oh well, tonight we'll just have to reluctantly spend the night with Bo Shiwu, that two-legged beast."
Qiao Li snorted coldly: "Spending the night with him is worse than dying."
Qiao Yin: "...Ahem."
Qiao Fei almost died laughing. "To be honest, Bo Shiwu isn't that annoying."
"He's trying to steal Mommy from us! Aren't you annoyed?!" Qiao Ju yelled.
