492: Blood Ties

Blood Ties

I was put into an isolation suit and pulled into the room to draw blood.1

I had seen how quick and efficient Ma Ji was.

As I watched my blood slowly flow into the container, I thought to myself, I hope I can save that living dead man!

I wasn't noble. I just wanted him to be alive. They drew a lot of blood.

I felt a little dizzy. I looked at Ma Ji. "Are you planning to finish me off once and for all? Aren't you going to keep me for a long time as an experiment?"

Ma Ji was very gentle. "Nanxing, don't be afraid. We'll definitely protect you!"

I sneered. "Now, that is just funny. I'll be thankful if you don't plot against me. I really don't need your protection."

Ma Ji didn't say anything. She didn't blame me at all. She pretended not to hear anything. The doctors and nurses all followed Ma Ji's lead.

They took a lot of blood. When I stood up, my body shook, and the nurse supported me.

"Send her back to her room to rest," Ma Ji instructed.

I didn't have the strength to fight her. The nurse helped me to a room opposite. She gave me a cup of hot cocoa. I drank it without thinking and fell asleep. Even if it was poison, I would still drink it. I had to survive.

My dream was strange. I was always running in my dream. I had no idea what was chasing me. I was tired and terrified.

"Nanxing, Mommy, and Daddy love you. You have to remember that Mommy and Daddy love you!" My mom sobbed.

I sighed in my heart. I know that you love me. I know.

"Nanxing, live well. Don't trust anyone. You have to work hard to survive." This was a new message. Why would they tell me not to trust anyone? Who did they mean by that? Did they include my two uncles? What was this dream? It was confusing.

For the first three days, my life was very simple.

I ate, slept, drew blood, slept, ate. Tong Hui woke up on the afternoon of the third day.

I was very surprised and amazed by this.

I didn't expect that my blood would really have such a miraculous effect.

Ma Ji's surprise and excitement were beyond words. She knelt in the corridor and kept kowtowing at the western side. She muttered something. I looked at her, and I felt sorry for her.

Then, Mr. Tong Hui wanted to see me. I also wanted to see him. I was just curious.

He leaned against the headboard of the bed and wore black home clothes. He was extremely thin, but he was in good spirits. His eyes were especially big because he was thin. He looked very much like my little uncle. I couldn't even deny that he was family. Blood ties were really a scary thing.

"You're Nanxing?" His voice was a little hoarse. Perhaps it was because he had been poisoned too deeply, or perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

I nodded.

He smiled with some difficulty. "You and your mother are like two peas in a pod. I thought that I had died and was meeting my dead sister."

Hmm... Something isn't right.

"Tong Le didn't mistreat you, did he? I can't imagine that he would take care of a child. He is a child himself." There was an indescribable meaning in his tone.

"When I met my little uncle, he was no longer a child," I said.

"In my eyes, you and Tong Le will always be a child." His tone was very cordial.

This scene felt very surreal... There were men armed to the teeth outside. Ma Ji was also there. But this man was trying to form family bonds with me?

Ha!
