Mo Xifeng felt like thousands of ants were crawling up and down on her core the second the machine was turned on. She felt heavy, woozy and completely disoriented. It was just as the doctor said, Mo Qiang's core energy was incompatible with her and the other cha core users thus the second those wavelengths were instilled inside her body, Mo Xifeng had a hard ti processing them.
What was even more troubling was that twice she almost vomited blood. She did not know how long the machine continued to run but by the ti it stopped Mo Xifeng was close to passing out.
" Are you all right?" Doctor Ji asked the pale-faced woman whose entire body was stretched taut. " Are you feeling uncomfortable? I an …more than uncomfortable?"
Mo Xifeng did not answer at first, she waited for the nausea to stop washing over her before she parted her lips and then replied, " I am fine."
Though her core was throbbing painfully, it was not to the point that Mo Xifeng would faint and though she lost a few levels of cultivation, it was not too bad, she would regain it pretty soon.
With shaky legs, Mo Xifeng stood up from the stool on which she was sitting and then stepped out where the nurse offered her a bottle of solution that she refused. After getting used to drinking warm water, Mo Xifeng could no longer drink the solution anymore. Even if she was to force herself to drink it, she might end up throwing up.
Mo Xifeng pushed the solution away and then allowed the nurse to take her to the resting area where she lay down on a half-canopy bed. The mattress underneath was not soft enough but Mo Xifeng was not one to complain, with her arm covering her eyes, she breathed in and out trying to shake off the throbbing at the back of her head along with her core.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling all right?" Shao Hui pushed the door open as he stepped inside the resting room. However, he felt awkward stepping inside the room where Mo Xifeng was alone because of the feelings that he used to have for Mo Xifeng.
He still took a brave step and stepped inside before asking Mo Xifeng how she was feeling.
Mo Xifeng turned her head to look at Shao Hui and then softly replied, " There is nothing to worry about… I am fine."
Her gaze fell on Shao Hui's awkward expression and she asked, " Whats the matter?"
Shao Hui's cheeks flushed red as he looked at Mo Xifeng and bowed, " Thanks for saving her… I know you did not have to but —— you did."
" She is my elder sister too," Mo Xifeng stated calmly. " Of course, I will save her no matter what."
Upon seeing that Shao Hui was still looking at her with that awkward gaze and hesitation-filled expression, she raised a brow and questioned, " Is sothing the matter, Brother Hui?"
Shao Hui hesitated for a couple of minutes before he pursed his lips and then he parted his lips before he questioned Mo Xifeng back instead of answering her question, "Sister-in-law, don…don't you bla her? I an she treated you like you were trash but you ..why are you willing to save her? Don't…Don't you hate her?"
Comprehension dawned on Mo Xifeng as she nodded her head and replied, " I do hate her, she was annoying and a good-for-nothing who never did anything right. But…" Mo Xifeng turned to look at Shao Hui and added, " I wasn't exactly nice to her either—— I will admit that I didn't treat her like she treated but that doesn't make a saint either. She made mistakes and so did I …so what is the point of hating her?"
She paused and then swallowed the lump in her throat ignoring the wave of dizziness as Mo Xifeng continued, " More importantly, one should look at the present than at the past brother Hui… because past grudges will only make your wounds fester, you either treat them or you cut them off. Just choose what you want to do before it starts hurting even more."
Shao Hui lowered his head, there was nothing that ca to his head in response. He nodded his head before turning around and walking out of the resting room where he almost bumped into Wen Gui.
" Father," Shao Hui bowed his head once again, afraid that Wen Gui would get angry at him once again.
But this ti Wen Gui did not snap at him instead he simply glanced at him and said, " She is right, you know?"
Then without giving him a chance to say anything, Wen Gui walked past him and stepped inside the resting room leaving Shao Hui to exhale heavily.
" Cut the losses huh?" He mused before turning to walk away as well.
While inside the resting room, Wen Gui looked at Mo Xifeng awkwardly. His hands were tightly clutching the thermos that held warm water, he clearly ca to hand Mo Xifeng so water since the nurse told him that Mo Xifeng refused to drink the solution but now that he was inside the resting room, he did not know what to say anymore.
" Daddy Gui?" Mo Xifeng was shocked when she saw Wen Gui coming to look for her but just as she was going to push herself up on the bed, Wen Gui waved his hand and stated, " There is no need to keep lying down, if your situation worsened then I will have a hard ti explaining to your mother."
He walked towards the bed with a natural stride before placing down the thermos that he was carrying in his hands next to Mo Xifeng and awkwardly remarking, " This is what your mother asked to bring for you…she is busy chatting with the doctor thus she couldn't co."
With his head held high Wen Gui looked down at Mo Xifeng who nodded in response, " I understand."
No sooner did she finish speaking, than the resting room fell into an uncomfortable silence which made Wen Gui curl his fingers as he said, " Then I will be leaving which is an obvious thing to do, now that I have handed you the thermos." He turned on his heels and then walked towards the door but then paused and clenched his fists before shaking them a little up and down in an attempt to summon his courage.
He took a heavy breath and then muttered, " And thank you for saving Qi Qi, Xifeng."
The second he thanked Mo Xifeng, Wen Gui pulled the door open and walked outside, leaving Mo Xifeng to stare at the door.
A soft smile etched on her lips as she mused," That's the first ti you said my na with so much affection, Daddy."
