Xiao Wu quickly left. Shao Nan hesitated for a moment. Because he was more worried about Mu Jingzhe, he still chased after her and went to the hospital.

  Mu Jingzhe had already been sent to the hospital. When the doctors heard that she had vomited blood, considering that this had happened before, they quickly examined her. However, they didn’t find anything.

  “We can’t find the reason behind this, nor is there anything wrong with her. She’s in excellent health…”

  “Then why isn’t she awake? Why is she still vomiting blood? How can you say she’s in excellent health when she’s vomiting blood?” Shao Xi asked directly.

  The doctors were just as helpless. Shao Dong glanced at Shao Xi and asked him to apologize before asking the doctors to examine her again.

  “If that doesn’t work, let’s go look for the TCM[1] doctor again. He was the one who cured her last time.” Shao Dong made a decision. “If there’s still no result by dawn, we’ll set off immediately.”

  “That’s the only way.” Shao Nan nodded. Then, he hesitated for a moment before he said, “I suspect that Xiao Wu knows about Mommy’s condition. Judging from his reaction, perhaps Mommy is really fine now. The doctors might not have made a mistake.”

  If Shao Nan hadn’t been certain previously, after hearing the doctor’s words, he felt that he might have guessed correctly.

  “Xiao Wu?” Shao Xi frowned when he heard Xiao Wu’s name. “Speaking of him, he’s acting very strange. He even laughed when he heard Mommy vomiting blood.”

  “He wasn’t laughing maliciously. He was laughing as if he had been relieved of a burden.” Little Bei added what she had seen.

  Shao Dong was silent for a moment. “I think he’s acting abnormally too. It’s like he knew in advance that Mommy would vomit blood. Besides, he heaved a sigh of relief when Mommy vomited blood.”

  He took a deep breath and said, “Seems like there’s really a reason for Xiao Wu’s previous abnormal behavior. It might be related to Mommy’s health. Because it’s been a long time and Mommy’s health has improved, we believed that it couldn’t be because of this.”

  “Then why didn’t he tell us? Besides, this explanation is a little too forced. Don’t tell me Mommy’s illness can be controlled by someone? I don’t like him hiding things from us. We agreed that if anything happened, the entire family would bear it together. Back then, we asked him so many questions, but he didn’t say anything. He’s so heartless.”

  Shao Xi’s expression turned even uglier. “Are we that untrustworthy?”

  \r \r \r

  “Something might have happened. We have to get someone to see what’s going on between him and Shao Qiyun.” As Shao Dong finished speaking, Ji Buwang and Shao Qihai rushed over.

  After Shao Qihai took a look at Mu Jingzhe, he glanced at Ji Buwang. Upon hearing Shao Dong’s words, he said, “I’ll go take a look at Shao Qiyun.”

  “We’ve got to bring Xiao Wu back too,” Ji Buwang said from the side. “I’ll go look for Xiao Wu.”

  Shao Dong: “If our guess is right, he might be concerned about Mommy’s condition. Maybe he’s keeping guard near the hospital. Now that Mommy’s condition is unknown, he might appear if we camp there and wait.”

  “Very likely.” Ji Buwang nodded. “But what exactly can cause such a situation?”

  “What situation?” Mu Jingzhe’s voice was heard. Ji Buwang, Shao Dong, and the others were pleasantly surprised. “Mommy, you’re awake?”

  “Does it still hurt?” Ji Buwang asked immediately.

  “It doesn’t hurt, nor do I feel unwell. Actually, I feel much better.” Previously, she had been very restless, but now, her entire body felt much better. “I think that there’s nothing wrong with me now. The doctors can’t find anything either. Perhaps I’m really okay.”

  Mu Jingzhe was nearly used to vomiting blood. It was as if she had transmigrated to a wuxia world where one would easily vomit blood from time to time. However, this time, it felt different from the previous two times.

  What Mu Jingzhe was concerned about was this: “What did you say just now?”

  When Shao Dong and Shao Nan saw that Mu Jingzhe had woken up, although their expressions were a little ugly, they weren’t as pale as when she had vomited blood previously. They were much more at ease and they told her about Xiao Wu’s abnormal behavior and their speculations in a few words.

  “So Xiao Wu knew in advance that I might vomit blood and his abnormal behavior might be related to my illness?” Mu Jingzhe had made guesses about Xiao Wu’s change previously but hadn’t guessed that it had to do with her falling sick previously.

  However, everything had been fine after that. Besides, she couldn’t think of a way someone could threaten him about this matter, so she hadn’t thought too deeply about it. In the end, it turned out that it was true?

  “Where’s Xiao Wu? Where is he now?”

  “He left previously, but we don’t know where he is now. Big Brother said that if our guess is right, he should be concerned about your health and keeping guard nearby.”

  “Then find him…” Before Mu Jingzhe could finish speaking, Shao Qihai returned with an unconscious Shao Qiyun.

  “Looks like she drank pesticide. I brought the pesticide, but there were two bottles.”

  When the doctor saw that there were two pesticides, his expression changed. He didn’t say anything and immediately resuscitated her.

  Shao Qihai felt that everything was very bizarre. He guessed that Xiao Wu might have gone back to take Shao Qiyun’s life, but he felt that this was too absurd and strange.

  Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Qiyun, who had been brought to the hospital, and then at the two pesticide bottles. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. “Something’s wrong. We have to find Xiao Wu as soon as possible!”

  If Xiao Wu hadn’t gone back to look for Shao Qiyun, she was afraid that Xiao Wu must have done something foolish and dreaded that one of the two bottles might have been drunk by Xiao Wu.

  Seeing the two pesticide bottles, Shao Dong and the others also thought of this and quickly split up to look for Xiao Wu.

  In the end, Shao Dong had really guessed correctly. He found Xiao Wu, who was peeping around the hospital. When Xiao Wu saw Shao Dong, he turned around and ran, but he was caught by Shao Dong a few moments later.

  “Why are you running?” Shao Dong grabbed Xiao Wu and looked at his expression. When he smelled his mouth, his expression changed slightly. He picked him up and ran to the hospital.

  “Let go of me!” Xiao Wu struggled.

  “Shut up if you don’t want to die. Tell me honestly, how much pesticide did you drink?”

  Xiao Wu’s expression changed slightly. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. Put me down!”

  “You still want to hide it from us even now? How long do you want to hide it? Do you think we’ll be grateful to you after you die? We won’t. We’ll only hate you! Who allowed you to make this decision on your own? Have you thought about Mommy’s feelings?”

  Xiao Wu was about to retort when Mu Jingzhe ran over upon hearing the commotion. She took Xiao Wu and sprinted without hesitation. “Doctor, he might have drunk some pesticide too. Quick, take a look…”

  When Xiao Wu saw that Mu Jingzhe was fine and strong and that it was effortless for her to carry him, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, he said sadly, “I didn’t drink…”

  “Shut up!” Mu Jingzhe interrupted Xiao Wu. “Shao Qiyun is also in the midst of emergency treatment. I don’t want you to die while Shao Qiyun survives.”

  While Xiao Wu was still in a daze, he was taken to the doctor. The doctor said that Xiao Wu wasn’t seriously poisoned and was in a much better condition than Shao Qiyun.

  Shao Qiyun was in a perilous condition and was still undergoing emergency treatment. No one knew what the final outcome would be.

  Mu Jingzhe and the others waited for Xiao Wu’s treatment to end. During this process, nothing else happened to Xiao Wu. Besides, he had been awake all this time. The doctor said that he would observe him for some time, but if nothing went wrong, there shouldn’t be any major problems. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
