Chapter 50 Carl
He saw Qiao Susu come in, spit out the towel in his mouth, looked at her face full of surprise, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Is the boss here to give me a quilt?"

Qiao Susu didn't know how he laughed, just like she didn't know how this man with such a serious gunshot wound could jump and walk like nothing happened from the moment he entered the door.

"Are you okay?"

The medical kit in her storage compartment had been given to the pioneer group not long ago, so now she could only find a replacement.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get some tools."

"Need not."

Karl called her, staring into her worried and nervous eyes, and smiled wickedly.

"come here."

Qiao Susu thought he wanted her help. After all, the wound was on the lower back and it was inconvenient for him to do it himself, so she went over as he said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, Carl threw away the tweezers, dug his fingers into the wound to open it and stir it, then quickly and accurately pulled out a bullet.

"Dang--"

The blood-red bullet fell to the floor, making a sound that was hard to ignore in the room.

When Qiao Susu saw the scene, her face turned pale.

"What are you doing?"

"Me, what do I do?"

Carl imitated the way she spoke and laughed.

"You haven't seen it? I thought you were Scorsese's female. You must have at least seen this kind of small scene. After all, my little drizzle is nothing compared to the injuries he has suffered."

When Qiao Suisui smelled the blood in the room, she felt her throat churning and her stomach aching.

She didn't even have time to say anything. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom, retching.

Although this was not a particularly bloody scene, when she saw the whole process of Carl pulling out the bullet, she felt as if that finger had dug into her lower back. She also thought of Ge Meilun's white intestines a few days ago, and she felt even more nauseous.

Karl bandaged the wound casually and got up to see Qiao Susu. He stood by the toilet door and saw her kneeling in front of the toilet with her pregnant belly. Her palm-sized face was pale and her eyes were crying due to physiological reactions. The corners of her eyes were red. She looked so pitiful that people wanted to bully her even more.

He made a "tsk" sound, and seeing her like that, his original intention of teasing her became inexplicably irritated.

Carl didn't want to think about where this emotion came from. He simply attributed it to the fact that females are weak and he hated being weak.

Qiao Suisui propped herself on the ground with her hands, feeling completely exhausted. She slowly stood up, rinsed her mouth, and wanted to go back to her room, but she saw Karl, a tall and strong man, blocking the door to the toilet, looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Please give way."

She really didn't want to get entangled with him. She didn't know if it was because she was about to give birth, but she felt very tired recently, her stomach started to get heavier, and her appetite was not as good as before. She asked the system, and the system said that it had blocked all her pregnancy discomfort symptoms, but because she was carrying a large child this time, it was best to ensure rest and a happy mood.

Seeing her expression turn pale, Karl also stopped smiling, and a feeling of dissatisfaction came up from nowhere, and he just stood there motionless.

"Why? If Scorsese was injured, would you vomit like this? I really feel sorry for him. He is not considerate at all to the female he had snatched away with so much effort."

Qiao Su Su frowned, not understanding why he was always looking for trouble. She looked up at him, her dark eyes were a little wet at the moment, not intimidating at all, but the anger in her eyes was conveyed vividly, but it was a pity that her eyes were both charming and pure, with the tails of her eyes slightly upturned. When she looked at people like this, she looked like a little fox who was ignorant of the world, making people feel itchy.

Karl looked at her, and the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat. He swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his expression was a little unnoticeable. "If you have nothing else to do, please get out of the way. I don't feel well and want to go back to my room."

Qiao Susu was rarely so rude to others, which showed that Karl really pissed her off.

But the latter was completely unaware and although he made way for her, he followed her like a tail all the way to the stairs.

"Do you always look at him like that?"

"what?"

"Just like just now, do you always look at Scorsese with that expression?"

Qiao Susu didn't understand and thought he was crazy, so she ignored him and went straight upstairs.

Karl was not annoyed and stopped following her. He just stared at her back quietly until she disappeared around the corner of the stairs. After a long while, he turned around and went back to his room.

Qiao Susu went back and fell asleep immediately. She didn't wake up until Luka came back upstairs to see her.

His warm hands gently rubbed her waist. Luka kissed her forehead and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why did you go to bed so early today?"

She thought about it and decided not to tell Luka about Carl's teasing on her. After all, this was her first customer. If she told Luka about this, he would definitely drive her away. She would not return the money she had earned.

"I just feel a little tired, it's okay."

Luka picked her up and placed her on his lap, touched her head to make sure she didn't have a fever, and kissed the top of her head.

"How about going for a checkup tomorrow? I'll go with you."

"Has the Imperial Court's affairs been resolved?"

He shook his head. "But I think there will be results soon. There have been some changes recently."

Luka briefly told her about the situation of the royal family in the past few days. Gorba III died, and it was confirmed that he died of poison. The emperor of a member state died in such a strange way that the Federation, which had been watching from the sidelines, took the opportunity to intervene and unexpectedly chose to support Liberi.

"Naniu"

Luka said: "If I'm not mistaken, the poison was given by Neo."

Qiao Susu was startled, but not too surprised. She had always doubted the accusation that Liberi had poisoned the emperor, because everything was so logical and the evidence was conclusive. Based on her understanding of Liberi, if he really poisoned the emperor, he would not have left any evidence.

"Neo is the first child of the Sun, and has been raised with high hopes since he was a child. But until Lan Ze appeared, the original candidate for successor changed, and he has always been unwilling to accept this. He originally planned to find a time to get rid of Lan Ze, but the movement of Liberi disrupted his plan, so he could only take this opportunity to take advantage of Liberi's rebellion and then quell it, and naturally become the new Sun."

Qiao Suisui continued Luka's thoughts and said, "But he overlooked a variable."

"That's right. He didn't expect that Liberly could get the support of the federal high-level officials. To be honest, I didn't expect this either." Although Luca knew that Liberly had been hiding his ambitions and had been an idle playboy since he was a child, he knew Liberly's abilities. Among all the royal family members, Liberly was the best of this generation in terms of communication, skill, eloquence, and vision.

Hearing this, Qiao Susu breathed a sigh of relief. Deep down in her heart, she didn't want anything to happen to Liberi.

"Sui Sui, I want to ask you a question." Luka lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time.

"what?"

"How far have you come with Libery?"
