Wen Fenglin’s tone was tinged with a hint of helplessness as he said, “It’s not as if I was the one who forced him to jump out of the car. I also didn’t cause him to break his bones and become blind. Now that the child is in this state, I don’t think the situation could get any worse, could it?”

Hearing these cold-hearted words, Ou Huojin looked at him with an almost murderous intent and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Wen Fenglin walked in and said, “Didn’t the doctor say that Ou Ming’s blindness is only a temporary result of his blood loss, and he needs to keep himself in high spirits in order to recover? With the way you guys are pressuring him, it’ll be a miracle if recovers at all.” He walked over to Ou Ming’s bedside as he spoke and sighed. “Poor child. If this continues, how long is it going to take for you to recover?”

Both Jiao Ziqing and Ou Huojin easily identified the implication of Wen Fenglin’s statement. It was akin to saying that they were faking their kind intentions and deliberately pressuring him this way because they didn’t want him to recuperate.

Jiao Ziqing was extremely disgruntled and said, “How have we been pressuring him? Isn’t it all for his own good? How did you manage to twist the situation so that it’s become that we’re pressuring him?”

Jiao Ziqing words were full of self-indignation and conviction.

“Please leave. I’m not in a bad mood. My body just feels unwell,” Ou Ming said from within the blanket. His tone was dull and monotonous.

The pity in Wen Fenglin’s eyes increased. “Back then, wasn’t Xian’er treated this way by her family, too? That’s why she left us so early.”

When Jiao Ziqing heard that name, she withdrew her gaze from Ou Ming and looked at Wen Fenglin. She huffed, “Fenglin, what is that supposed to mean? What happened to Xian’er has nothing to do with the situation now! We’re all doing this for Ou Ming’s sake!”

Jiao Ziqing knew exactly what Wen Fenglin meant. She knew even better that the best medicine to cheer Ou Ming up would definitely be that young lady. But, how could she allow that?

What if that lady ran away upon hearing of Ou Ming’s situation? If it came to that, wouldn’t Ou Ming be even more brokenhearted?

Wen Fenglin narrowed his eyes at her and smiled, but the smile carried his complicated emotions and inexplicable sarcasm. “Wasn’t that exactly what Xian’er’s parents said, too? And, what happened in the end?”

In the end, Xian’er had died from the clutches of her disease with a no hope of any cure.

The root of the whole problem had been her parents. They had kept on insisting that it was all for her good. Xian’er’s mood had deteriorated day after day, until medicine no longer had any effect on her.

Jiao Ziqing immediately refuted Wen Fenglin. “These are two very different situations! Xian’er’s parents did not know you well at all! That’s why they objected to you. If they had known you well...”

“Do you know that child well?” Wen Fenglin asked.

Jiao Ziqing had no answer.

Ou Huojin looked at Wen Fenglin weirdly and asked, “Lao Wen, do you know that child?”

Wen Fenglin cocked his head to the side and replied warmly, “No, I don’t. But, I can see my young self in the two of them. How are your actions now any different from Xian’er parents in the past? You keep insisting it’s all for the good of your child, but in reality, you don’t even know what your child really wants! If you continue down this road, I’m afraid Xian’er’s ending will become Ou Ming’s ending!”

Wen Fenglin’s tone became quite agitated toward the end as he said, “When that happens, you’ll still push all the blame for his death onto that child, just like Xian’er’s parents did! Their irresponsible pushing of the blame destroyed me!”
