"No need, I’ve almost got everything sorted out. There’s not much left now. Tomorrow, the first priority is to take care of Xia’s matters, take her to the hospital for a checkup, and then help transfer her school, so her Vampire mom won’t find her." Lin ngyao frowned as she thought of Yu Xia’s mother, who seed desperate to trade her daughter’s life for her son’s, her eyes filled with intense disgust.
"You say both of them are her children, how can she be so heartless to do such a thing, exchanging her daughter’s life for her son’s? If Xia really gets into trouble because of this, wouldn’t she feel guilty in the middle of the night? How can such a mother exist in this world?" Just thinking of Yu Xia’s words made a fire of anger grow in Lin ngyao’s heart. If it weren’t already dark, she’d want to sort everything out right now, not waiting even for a minute.
"When the forest is big, all kinds of birds fly around. Nowadays, parents don’t need to take exams to have children. When their morals don’t pass, it’s no wonder they do such things." Xu Ke said with a cold expression, clearly also hating such parents.
It’s their own children, yet they never treat them as independent individuals, thinking human beings, but instead as their possessions, controlling their life and death in their grasp, feeling that since they gave birth to them, they have the say whether they live or die. Such people really make one feel sick.
"Let’s not think about this anymore. If her mother’s problem isn’t dealt with, it’ll still be an issue. If possible, I’d actually hope for them to sever their relationship. Although the procedures are troubleso, it’s better to deal with the trouble now than later. However, this matter still needs to be discussed with the person involved. But since I’m a man, I’ll leave it to you ladies to talk about it, okay?" Xu Ke holding Lin ngyao’s waist, whispered in her ear.
"That’s what I think too. Even if you didn’t tell , I was planning to ask her tomorrow." Lin ngyao nodded and said.
"Alright, let’s sleep then, it’s getting late, anything else can be discussed tomorrow." Lin ngyao, tired after crying for so long, fell asleep shortly after saying this, even starting to snore lightly.
Early the next morning, Lin ngyao and Xu Ke went downstairs and slled the aroma coming from the dining room.
Wearing a pink apron, Yu Xia brought the food to the dining table. Seeing the two of them coming, she smiled a little and said softly, "Good morning, you’re up early. I was just about to co up to call you."
"We slept well, so we got up a bit early. Why are you up making breakfast, did you not sleep well last night?" Seeing this frail girl, Lin ngyao couldn’t help but want to be good to her. Now, seeing the carefully prepared breakfast on the table, her already softened heart beca even softer.
"No, no, I slept particularly well last night." Afraid Lin ngyao wouldn’t believe her, Yu Xia added gestures to make her point that she wasn’t lying, she really slept well.
Seeing Yu Xia nervous and at a loss for words, with a flushed face, Lin ngyao quickly said, "We believe you, we were just worried it might be hard for you to adjust to the new environnt on your first visit to our ho."
"No, I really like it here. I feel it’s very safe here. Thank you for taking in." Yu Xia’s eyes showed gratitude as she bowed to Xu Ke and Lin ngyao.
"I’m glad you like it." Lin ngyao smiled.
From then, the three of them sat at the table and slowly started eating the breakfast prepared by Yu Xia.
Lin ngyao also took the opportunity to briefly tell Yu Xia about the conversation with Xu Ke from the night before. "While we think it’s better for you to cut ties with your mother, since your brother’s illness isn’t cured yet, we’re worried she might use her identity to do sothing bad to you when we’re not around. Of course, these are just our concerns. The final decision is yours. If you want to sever ties with your parents, we can help. If you don’t, just consider I never said this, and don’t take it to heart." Lin ngyao said gently.
Yu Xia slowed down her eating, looked up at Lin ngyao, then at Xu Ke, and finally said softly, "I want to sever ties with my parents. Over the years, I feel like I have repaid their upbringing. I want to live, live well, I don’t want to die." Yu Xia’s tears started to roll down uncontrollably into the bowl of porridge in front of her, disappearing in its depths.
"Alright, as long as you’ve made up your mind and won’t regret it, we’ll help you." Lin ngyao reached out to hold Yu Xia’s small, trembling hand.
"Okay," Yu Xia nodded, her expression sowhat bewildered, yet still a little nervous.
"Also, we discussed taking you to the hospital for a checkup yesterday, to see what your health condition is, so you need to go out with us later, I’ll take you to the hospital." Lin ngyao inford Yu Xia of their decision.
Yu Xia nodded, her eyes filled with emotion, and tears again uncontrollably stread down, "I’m so grateful to you, I don’t know what good deed I did in my past life to et such good people like you in this life, willing to take in, feed , give a place to stay, take to the hospital, help transfer schools, and even save from that quagmire. I am truly so happy, I don’t know how to repay you, but you’ve given a new life. From today, my life is yours, whatever you want to do, I’ll do." Yu Xia bit her slightly pale lower lip and said with a determined look, tears still flowing.
Lin ngyao sowhat amused, said, "What is your constitution, like a little crybaby, why do your tears keep flowing so much?" Lin ngyao joked, "Alright, stop crying, or you won’t look pretty. We don’t help you to expect gratitude, we just hope you suffer a little less. After all, you’re still a child, with a lot of possibilities in the future, your life shouldn’t be thrown away so early. And it’s fate that brought us together." Lin ngyao soothed gently.
Sure enough, Yu Xia’s tears stopped once more.
With things on their minds, they ate faster than usual and after finishing they imdiately took Yu Xia to the hospital. It’s unclear what thods Xu Ke used, but the three of them skipped the lines and quickly received a series of examinations under the doctor’s arrangent.
