"No! It can't be true. How could I be disfigured? You must be lying to !" Ling ng pushed Yang Xiner's hand away, as if she had gone mad. She touched her own face and found it wrapped in bandages. She scread and frantically tore at the bandages. She didn't want to beco an ugly monster. If she turned into an ugly monster, her brother Zhou Mucheng would no longer love her.
She felt a tearing pain in her hands, face, and body, and fresh blood seeped through the bandages. Ling ng seed oblivious to the pain as she desperately tore at the bandages on her face. All she wanted to know was whether her face was truly disfigured. She didn't want to beco an ugly monster.
"No, ngng, don't do this. Mom and Dad will find the best doctors to cure you. You will be beautiful again, just like before. ngng, listen to Mom, okay? Don't hurt yourself like this, ngng. Sob..." Yang Xiner's heart was breaking as she held Ling ng's hand, preventing her from pulling off the bandages.
"Let go! Let go! I don't want to beco an ugly monster! I don't want to!" Ling ng scread loudly, struggling and pushing Yang Xiner away. She scratched Yang Xiner's hand with her nails, her eyes filled with madness and ferocity.
Ling Tianzheng had no choice but to call a doctor.
The doctor administered a sedative to calm Ling ng down.
A nurse brought new bandages and dicine, replacing the ones on Ling ng's body.
Lying on the hospital bed like a puppet without a soul, Ling ng stared blankly at the ceiling. Tears rolled down uncontrollably. How did it co to this? Why was she disfigured?
Yang Xiner gently held Ling ng's hand, brushing aside the hair on her forehead. "ngng, Mom and Dad will find the best doctors to cure you. They won't let a single scar remain. Be a good girl and don't think too much."
A glimr of hope flashed in Ling ng's eyes, but quickly faded. Could she really be cured? Would there be no scars left? Could she truly return to her forr self?
There was a soft knock on the door, followed by the door opening. Song Yanxue, Song Ziyuan, and Zhou Mucheng walked in. They had all co to see Ling ng upon hearing the news. They were shocked because the Ling family was not an ordinary family. Every corner of their house was heavily guarded. How could it catch fire?
"Ling Uncle! Yang Aunt!"
Ling Tianzheng nodded slightly. "Please have a seat."
"Mucheng, Yanxue, Ziyuan." Yang Xiner saw the three of them, wiped her tears, and forced a smile to greet them.
Ling ng caught sight of Zhou Mucheng and quickly covered her head with the blanket. She couldn't let her brother Zhou Mucheng see her like this—so ugly.
"How is ngng now?" Song Yanxue asked, concerned, as she looked at Ling ng lying in the hospital bed.
Yang Xiner's nose tingled, and tears almost welled up again. She shook her head. "The doctor said she needs a skin graft surgery."
Ling ng hid under the blanket, listening to their conversation. She bit her lip forcefully, and blood trickled from her lips. But she couldn't feel the pain now because the pain in her body was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
"ngng, don't be sad. You will be fine. Can you let see you?" Song Yanxue walked to the bedside and softly asked Ling ng.
Ling ng tightly clutched the blanket. She didn't want to see anyone right now, especially her brother, Zhou Mucheng.
"Yanxue." Yang Xiner reached out and patted Song Yanxue's shoulder, shaking her head. She knew her daughter didn't want to see anyone at the mont.
Song Yanxue sighed, "Aunt Yang, how did the fire happen?"
Thinking about the big fire yesterday, Yang Xiner was also puzzled. "I don't know. I've already asked soone to investigate." She had actually ordered soone to set fire to Ling Yue and the others' house, so how did her own house catch fire instead? Could there be so connection?
After sitting for a while, Zhou Mucheng and the others bid farewell and left.
Only after Ling ng heard the sound of the hospital room door closing and the footsteps fading away did she erge from under the blanket. Her eyes, red from crying, looked at Yang Xiner and asked, "Mom, will I really be okay?"
At the mont she found out about her disfigurent, she truly wanted to die. It wasn't until her brother, Zhou Mucheng, arrived that a glimr of hope ignited in her heart. She had worked so hard to wait for Ling Yue and Zhou Mucheng to cancel their engagent, and she had finally beco the young lady of the Ling family. How could she give up now? She wanted to regain her original appearance and marry Zhou Mucheng.
Yang Xiner lovingly touched Ling ng's head and said, "Yes, believe in Mom. You will definitely beco as beautiful as before."
"Okay." Ling ng's eyes flickered with a glimr of hope as she slowly closed her eyes. She was truly exhausted.
Ling Tianzheng heard his phone ring and took out his phone to look at the number on it. He walked out of the hospital room and answered the call, "How did the investigation go?"
"It's Madam. We set fire to Ling Yue and the others' house as ordered, but we don't know how gasoline ended up spilling in the garden. Unfortunately, soone flicked a lit cigarette onto the gasoline, causing a big fire."
Ling Tianzheng's face darkened, exuding a cold aura. After a few words, he hung up the phone and walked into the hospital room.
Yang Xiner felt a sense of low pressure and turned to look at Ling Tianzheng. "Tianzheng, why are you looking at like that?"
"Ling Yue has already left the Ling family. Why won't you let her go?" Ling Tianzheng stared at Yang Xiner with cold and furious eyes. Even if he didn't like that daughter, they still shared a blood relationship.
"Where haven't I let her go?" Yang Xiner felt a bit panicked. Did Ling Tianzheng find out about her ordering soone to set fire?
"Don't tell you didn't order the fire? Do you know how the house caught fire? It was because those two subordinates accidentally spilled gasoline, and it only ignited because soone carelessly flicked a cigarette onto it. You brought this upon yourself." Ling Tianzheng's eyes were filled with piercing coldness.
Ling ng, in a daze, heard Ling Tianzheng's words and opened her eyes, unable to believe what she was hearing. She looked at Yang Xiner and asked, "Mom, did you really do this?"
Yang Xiner couldn't et Ling ng's gaze. "I heard from Xue Xue that she slapped you, and I wanted to stand up for you." How could she have known that things would turn out like this? If she had known it would eventually lead to her daughter being disfigured, she would never have allowed soone to burn Ling Yue and her friends' house. But now, everything is already too late.
Ling ng closed her eyes in pain. She knew she shouldn't bla her mother, but she couldn't help but hate her in her heart. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be disfigured, wouldn't beco a monster.
"ng ng, Mom did all this for you. Can you forgive Mom, please?" Yang Xiner panicked and reached out to hold Ling ng's hand.
Ling ng pushed her away. "I want to be alone." She didn't want to see her right now.
"ng ng."
"Leave, just leave. I don't want to see you right now!" Ling ng cried out.
Yang Xiner felt a stab in her heart. "Mom really didn't know it would turn out like this. Mom just wanted to help you let off so steam." It's all because of those two good-for-nothings. They couldn't even handle such a small matter properly. She was going to find them and make them pay.
