498: Tonic

Tonic

Tong Hui nodded. "That's only natural. If I can see him in person, I'll explain everything to him."1

If? What did he mean?

I couldn't help but feel wary. He didn't want to see my little uncle? He could send a message to Tong Le, but he didn't want to? Tong Le was his younger brother!

My little uncle thought his family was wiped. He spared a fake like Tong Lin, which showed how much he still cared about family.

However, Tong Hui knew of my little uncle's existence and what he had to go through over the years. Tong Hui avoided him and acted like Tong Le didn't exist. Why?

Was it because he was the mastermind behind the massacre of the Tong Family? Was he the reason behind my little uncle's pain?

My heart frosted over. That had to be it. It was why they still kidnapped me even though I was his niece.

"Why is my blood able to save your life?" I asked the question that had been lingering in my heart for a long time.

Tong Hui's expression didn't change. "It's because you and I are connected by blood. You're my biological niece."

I scoffed. "That is a lousy excuse. Tang Yan is your biological daughter. Her blood can't cure you even though she's biologically closer to you than I am."

Tong Hui's expression finally changed, but he quickly regained his composure. "This poison is very strange, to begin with. There are some things that can't be explained scientifically. I can only say perhaps it's fate."

I was speechless. "Fine, don't tell me. In any case, I've saved your life, and that's good karma for me." I knew there was a bigger conspiracy behind this, but since he didn't want to tell me, there was nothing I could do.

Facing the table full of delicious food, I calmed down and started eating. After two lifetimes, I realized eating was my hobby. It was the most important thing for a human.

Tong Hui ate very little. Most of the time, he watched me eat. He would only take small sips from his cup. I suspected that it was a tonic made from my blood.

However, this didn't affect my appetite. I had a very abnormal and strong psychological quality.

After I was full, I leaned back on the chair in satisfaction and told him, "I'm full. Do you want anything else from me?"

His face revealed a loving smile as if he was a senior looking at a junior.

"Nanxing, you're such a genuine child. No wonder so many people like you."

I raised my eyebrows. "Do many people like me? I don't feel that is true. Jing Tian really does like me. But your witch, Ma Ji drugged him to make sure that he can't remember me."

I sighed lightly.

He straightened his expression. "Nanxing, if he has forgotten about you, then he doesn't deserve your love. There are plenty of good men out there. You deserve better."

I sighed. "I'm really not going to take relationship advice from you."

He smiled. "Nanxing, how old are you? Don't be anxious. In the future, you'll meet better men."

I shrugged. I wasn't going to argue with him on this.

"Nanxing, stay by uncle's side from now on. I'll take care of you as my own daughter," he said seriously.

I smiled. "I'm an adult now. I don't need to be taken care of. If you want the best for me, let me go home."
