Mu Yeli said, "We didn’t pay much attention to Ye Zi back then, deeming her as a useless little follower. Once, we went out and even had her carry our bags. Unexpectedly, we ran into a gang of motorcyclists on the way, armed with heavy weapons, intending to kill me. They rushed towards me. I was less than ten years old then. While escaping, I only remembered to run away and completely forgot about Ye Zi behind me. She was still holding the schoolbag embroidered with my name. They mistook Ye Zi for me and stopped chasing after they grabbed her. I escaped and forgot about Ye Zi behind for a long time." freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Then what happened?"
"The next day, I found out they had mistaken her for me and taken her away. When they discovered she wasn’t me, they tied her to some ruins and lit a fire intending to burn her to death. But, due to the rain at night, the fire went out. She didn’t die but sat on the ruins all night amidst smoke and fire. When she was found, she was covered in soot."
"She should not have skipped school, but because I took her out, she was mistaken for me and got caught. I feel all of this happened because of me."
Ye Ning understood. So, Ye Zi almost died because of Mu Yeli. And her illness stemmed from Mu Yeli’s mistake, and that’s why Mu Yeli took great care of her.
Mu Yeli said, "We were so young back then, and I treated her like a servant, almost causing her death. From then on, I started treating her illness."
Mu Yeli looked at Ye Ning, "But, her health has been deteriorating, and I’ve tried many methods but to no avail. If we’re able to solve it this time, it would mean ending one of my problems."
It was only now that Ye Ning truly understood.
All was a result of his guilt.
And Ye Zi was benefiting from this guilt.
Ye Ning said, "Come on, you were less than ten then. As you’ve said, how could you have known?"
"But I grew up in such an environment where I was watched all the time. After that incident happened, I got to know what danger meant. I acquired more guards, and it was a turning point I guess." He smiled at Ye Ning.
Ye Ning could imagine what it was like.
Being known by everyone from birth, rumors said that his initial feeding, first steps, and first use of chopsticks were all reported in the news. One could imagine that his life under such circumstances was quite different from ordinary people.
She stared at this scene for a while. Then Mu Yeli pulled her up again, "Let’s go, let them handle the surgery. No matter what the cost, I’m going to pay for her."
He walked out with Ye Ning while the doctors watched them. However, Kangning Hospital was different from other hospitals. The patients here were the top figures in the country. Even those from the Presidential Palace, who were not the President, frequented this place when they fell sick. They had the ability to accept the secrets of powerful people. Though they saw Ye Ning and Mu Yeli together and were very curious, they didn’t dare to reveal a word.
The next day, Gu Minzhi invited relevant parties to the hospital to discuss the surgery.
When they arrived at the hospital, Gu Minzhi glanced at Ye Ning with Mu Yeli, eyed Ye Ning for a while before saying, "The doctor I’ve invited will be here soon. Let’s go inside."
