Chapter 352: Jing Mo Is Injured Again

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhang Li seemed to be possessed. She stared fixedly at the cold lake. In the ethereal coldness, she seemed to see a small figure.

A thin little girl in an ill-fitting cotton-padded jacket stretched out a pair of small hands that were red and purple from the cold. Her moist eyes looked at her timidly, and there was a humble desire in them— Hug me.

Zhang Li’s entire body trembled, and tears flowed out like a broken dam, covering her vision.

When the little Jing Yao was first brought home, she would look at her like this every time, but she couldn’t tell what she meant. Perhaps she could, but she automatically ignored it.

When she met Jing Yao’s gaze at that time, she only felt that she was timid and inferior. Such a daughter would only add to her humiliation.

She saw such a gaze again through space and time. At this moment, she could see it clearly. She felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart, and it was so painful that it was difficult for her to breathe.

Zhang Li wiped her tears and staggered towards the figure. She muttered, “Mom was wrong. Mom will come over now. Mom will take good care of you in the future…”

The path by the lake was wet and slippery. When she suddenly heard the crisp ringtone, Zhang Li’s footsteps faltered and she fell forward to the ground. At this moment, she was less than half a meter away from the lake.

Sharp pain came from all over her body. Zhang Li could not tell where it hurt.

However, she couldn’t care less about this. She hurriedly looked up at the lake. The cold lake was emitting cold air. Other than that, there was nothing else. It was as if everything just now was just her imagination.

In fact, it was really an Illusion. The pain made Zhang Li’s mind much clearer. She had already realized that she had been possessed. If not for the sudden ringtone, she would probably have been soaked in the cold lake water.

Evasion was indeed human instinct.

Zhang Li smiled bitterly. For a moment, she was glad and disappointed. It might be much easier to leave like this, but she couldn’t bear to leave. She could still sneak a look at Jing Yao like today.

Zhang Li wiped the dirty water off her face and stood up slowly and with difficulty. Then, she went to her bag to take out her cell phone.

It was a little difficult for her to do this. She had injured her elbow when she fell just now. Now, she would stretch the wound if she moved casually. The sharp pain drilled into her brain, making her dizzy.

When she finally took out her cell phone, the call had already been hung up.

It was an unfamiliar number. Zhang Li thought that the person probably called the wrong number and did not want to call back.

She patted the dirt off her body and realized that it was useless. Instead, it seemed to get dirtier the more she patted it. Hence, she gave up and slowly walked away from the lake.

After some time, the phone rang again. Zhang Li took out her cell phone and saw that it was still the same number. She picked it up without much hesitation.

“Hello, is this Madam Zhang Li?” A clear female voice came from the other end. Zhang Li did not recognize who it was. She replied, “Yes, what’s the matter?” Hearing her agreement, the other party heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Your husband is injured and is now at the First Hospital in Lin City. He needs to undergo surgery immediately and needs a family member’s signature. Please come over as soon as possible.”

Zhang Li paused for a moment. She understood that she was talking about Jing Mo. A wave of disgust surged in her heart. She said impatiently, “He’s not my husband. You don’t have to look for me.”

As Zhang Li spoke, she was about to hang up when the other party said anxiously, “Madam Zhang, Mr. Jing Mo said this himself. I’m only in charge of informing you. If you don’t come, according to the rules, I have to contact your daughter.”

Zhang Li’s gaze suddenly became sharp. She snorted. “Did Jing Mo ask you to say these words?”

The other party was silent for a moment before saying in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, Madam Zhang. He said that you wouldn’t have come if 1 didn’t say that. He’s in our hospital now and is still waiting for the surgery.”

“I’ll come over,” Zhang Li said calmly. “You don’t have to contact my daughter.”

The other party quickly agreed. She did not want to do anything unnecessary. She just wanted to contact the family members who could sign the form..
