In response to their questions, Annie said without any hesitation, “I won’t expose you. Don’t worry.”

Seeing how determined she was, how calm she was when she answered questions, Henry and John realized she meant it.

Instantly, a chill rushed up from the bottom of their feet. The two of them realized that they had underestimated their sister in the past. She was the number one heartless person in the royal family. She could actually murder her child.

“I’ll leave that to you, then,” Henry managed to say.

Annie nodded and left. The two brothers involuntarily leaned against each other. When she left, they collapsed on the sofa.

“John, I really didn’t think Annie would do this.” Henry wiped his sweat.

“None of us can compare to her ruthlessness. When Sophie dies, Annie must be the first to be eliminated,” John said.

The two of them reached a consensus in an instant. They had been worried that the three of them would fight endlessly after Sophie died, and there would still be no way to decide who would be the king immediately.

Now, the two of them could not care less about those things. They had to treat Annie as their next enemy.

Annie knew that her two brothers would definitely deal with her, but she didn’t care what they thought.

She was just spouting nonsense. She just wanted to create an opportunity to meet her.

If she really killed Sophie, it would cut off her chance to fight for the throne. The army would definitely not be loyal to the person who killed the queen. They could only turn to support others.

Annie never doubted the army’s loyalty to Sophie. After all, all its officers had sworn an oath of unconditional loyalty to the king, no matter who the king was.

What they didn’t know was that the Zou Family’s secret guards were quietly lying in ambush with them.

Gao Tian woke up quickly after the operation. He looked around anxiously. “Where’s Sophie?”

Jiang An, who was guarding the side, said, “Sophie went to see the Marshal just now. She’ll be back soon.”

“Please tell her that I’ve woken up so that she won’t worry about me,” Gao Tian said.

Jiang An sighed at what a good man he was. He had just come back from the gates of hell, and the first thing he thought of was not to worry Sophie.

Hearing the sound of high heels outside, Jiang An smiled and said, “There’s no need to tell her. She’s here.”

Sophie pushed open the door and saw Gao Tian waking up. She hurried to the bed and took his hand. “You’re finally awake. Are you feeling unwell?”

Gao Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her. “That’s great. You’re not injured.”

Tears welled up in Sophie’s eyes. “Are you stupid? They fired a gun. Why did you push me behind you? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

“I vowed at our wedding that I would protect you for the rest of my life. I didn’t lie.” Gao Tian stroked her hair and smiled.

The couple obviously wanted to speak to each other. Jiang An quietly left and closed the door.

Zou Bai finished making arrangements and walked over. “Do you want to go out for a walk?”

Jiang An also felt that today was too tumultuous. She nodded. “Okay.”

The hospital was already surrounded by the military. There was no need to worry about safety. The two of them walked downstairs to enjoy the breeze. It was rare for them to have such a comfortable time.

“Actually, I was also afraid today. Gao Tian was shot in such a chaotic scene. It would be my fault if he really died.” Jiang An sighed. “After all, I was the one who persuaded Sophie to fight for the throne. I’m responsible for all of this.”

Zou Bai looked down at her. “Whether Gao Tian was in trouble or not, what you did back then was not wrong. You persuaded her to fight for the throne out of concern for Sophie’s safety and the future of this country. All of your intentions were good. You can’t be blamed for what happened after that.”

Jiang An looked at the lights upstairs. “When I saw how sad Sophie was, I thought that if something ever happened to you because you wanted to save me, I really wouldn’t know what to do. I didn’t want Sophie to go through this.”

Zou Bai held Jiang An’s hand tightly. “Sophie is very strong. Gao Tian has already woken up. What we have to do is to look forward and let those people’s schemes fall through.”

Jiang An threw herself into Zou Bai’s arms. “We have to be fine in the future. Don’t get hurt.”

Zou Bai rubbed her back. “I’ll definitely protect you and the children. I’ll also try my best not to get hurt, so you don’t have to worry. Just live happily and do what you want to do.”

Jiang An looked up at him. “Zou Bai, let’s get married after this is over.”

Zou Bai’s eyes widened. This was the first time such an expression had appeared on his face.

He asked in disbelief, “An’an, what did you say? Say it again.”

Jiang An stroked his cheek. “I said, let’s get married.”
