Chapter 14 ≈ The Pain in Memories

  "Who is taking care of her maid?"

  "Oh! Ping Jie took a leave this morning and went back to her hometown."

  No, she didn't return home but escaped in fear of punishment.

  "It's impossible for her to escape in fear of punishment! Besides, Ping Jie has always been doing well at our home!"

  "Alright, hum, that's what you think."

  "I don't quite understand what you mean?"

  Excuse me for asking, but does your daughter have...

  "You, what do you mean? I, I don't understand."

  "Sister, what's going on?! You're still keeping it a secret."

  Ye Si Chen hastily said.

  The woman lowered her head, biting her lip, and said in a low voice: "Little Jade was born with poor health, so I've always taken great care of her. Until the year Little Jade turned nine, I had just returned from a business trip and saw Little Jade sitting alone on the stone bench at the door."

  I found it strange, so I asked Xiaoyu why. She was sitting at the door and wouldn't go in. At that time, Xiaoyu was still young and didn't understand things, so she told me that her father was busy with his secretary and had told her to go out and play for a while before coming back. She didn't have any friends, so she could only wait there.

  Needless to say, you can probably guess what happened next! Later, I divorced Xiao Yu's father. Because of work, I was often not at home, and Xiao Yu always felt guilty, saying that it was all her fault.

  She knew that there were some people and things that she, a child, could not stop. The woman stood up and then said softly, all these years for the sake of letting Xiaoyu live a better life.

  I've been working hard all along, but now Xiaoyu is like this, what should I do? The woman covered her mouth with tears like a string of crystal beads, dropping one by one.

  Ye Si Chen stretched out his hand to hold the woman, patted her shoulder, and whispered softly as he asked Lin Hao: "Doctor Lin, please help take a look! Please." Lin Hao didn't say anything, but walked over to the girl who was on the brink of death.

  Only the girl's pale pink pajamas made the thin figure on the bed look even thinner, and Lin Hao quickly pulled up the girl's sleeves. The woman in Ye Si Chen's arms saw a man treating his beloved daughter this way.

  It was still standing there, just about to get angry, when suddenly "whoosh whoosh" two sounds were heard, a flash of silver light, and two silver needles were nailed to the door behind Ye Si Chen.

  With the same expression, two figures flashed and came to the bedside. The siblings stood there for a while before they came back to their senses. "Soul out of its shell!" This kind of acupuncture method has been lost in the world of martial arts, I also only heard it from my master.

  Luckily, I discovered this needling technique in a flash of insight from a corpse's brain the other day. The academic name for it in Taoist studies is called "Soul Escaping Scabbard Phantom Needle". This needling technique is quite cruel.

  The woman heard this and quickly pulled at Dr. Lin's suit: "Please, Dr. Lin, help my daughter! She's still just a child, if you can save her life, I'll give up my own life in exchange."

  I'm willing too, Xiaoyu is still young and has so many unfulfilled wishes. Please help her! The woman walked to the bedside, looked at the little person lying on the bed, turned around and came to Lin Hao's face, only to hear a "thud" sound, the woman knelt down.

  Lin Hao didn't say a word, he just stared coldly at the little girl on the bed, looking at the woman kneeling in front of him, with transparent and crystal-like tears flowing from his empty eyes.

  Lin Hao didn't go to help the woman kneeling on the ground, because at this moment his mind was filled with thoughts of the poor little girl on the bed. Lin Hao stood by the head of the bed, and in the room there were only the woman and Ye Si Chen. Lin Hao walked to the head of the girl's bed.

  He said in a low voice: "Sorry, I couldn't save her. If you had discovered it a day earlier, maybe there would have been a chance to save her." Then he turned around, closed his eyes and said, "Don't be nostalgic for the mortal world anymore, go on your way." Lin Hao finished speaking and waved his hand.

  The girl's transparent body appeared on the ceiling. The woman, upon hearing that her daughter was gone, burst into a heart-wrenching cry, "No, no, Xiaoyu, Mommy's treasure."

  "Lin Yi, can you let my cousin see Xiao Yu?" Ye Si Chen asked Lin Hao, who had a cold face.

  "Ah! Better hurry up, because I see her soul is too weak. If we don't let her go soon, I'm afraid she'll dissipate into nothingness." Lin Hao raised his hand and poured two drops of transparent ** on his fingertips.

  Gently wiping the woman's eyes, "Open your own eyes and see for yourself! She can't hold on much longer." "Will Xiaoyu disappear?" The woman looked at Lin Hao with a helpless gaze.

  Lin Hao's frosty face showed a faint smile, and the woman thought she was seeing things - she saw her mischievous daughter from childhood on the ceiling.

  At this moment, floating in the air, tears flashed across her face, "Xiaoyu, Mom is sorry to you, Mom shouldn't have only focused on work and forgotten your existence, Mom was wrong, forgive Mom, Mom was wrong."

  The girl, just about to speak, opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Her figure was becoming more and more transparent, on the verge of disappearing. Lin Hao closed his eyes, waved his hand, and above the girl's head, three feet away, a brilliant blue light pillar appeared, with threads of blue light connecting to Lin Hao's brow.

  The girl's body began to become less transparent and more powerful and clearer than before; "Mom, Xiaoyu misses you so much. Xiaoyu doesn't want to stay at home alone. Xiaoyu just wants to be with mom again."

  "But now there's no chance. Mom, Xiaoyu is gone, take good care of yourself!"; The woman grabbed Lin Hao's arm like a madwoman and shouted hysterically: "Master! Please, please stay with Xiaoyu!"

  The woman's fingernails dug deep into Lin Hao's flesh, but he didn't flinch. He stared coldly at the woman who was now crying hoarsely. Then, with great anger, he bellowed: "Woman, shut your mouth!" Immediately afterwards, Lin Hao forcefully pulled off the woman's claws that were grasping his body.

  He forcefully shook off the woman's hand, turned around and rushed out of the luxurious villa estate, rushing onto the car he had arrived in. Then, with a burst of anger, he stormed into the car and forcibly locked the door.

  Lin Hao could no longer hold back his tears, and he burst into sobs, clutching his head. The painful memories of eighteen years ago came flooding back, and the tragedy of eighteen years ago was replayed once again!

  Lin Hao was very resentful, his parents gave him life, gave him wealth and glory, gave him a superior life. But those were not what he wanted at all, an eight-year-old sister, or his own carelessness.
