Upon returning home, Wan Feng and Wan Hai had already left. Sun Li had prepared nutritious shredded chicken porridge and vegetable cakes. A pot of chicken soup was simmering on the stove.
“Lingling, are you sure you don’t want to go to the clinic? You’re covered in blood,” Sun Li said with concern as she watched Ye Ling sip her porridge.
“It’s alright, Auntie Sun. Although I’m bleeding, I didn’t injure any vital areas. Please don’t worry,” Ye Ling replied with a small lie. She didn’t want to visit the clinic.
Visiting the clinic, getting a diagnosis, and receiving medication all cost money.
Furthermore, Ye Ling was a doctor herself, and the small world was an excellent place for treating and recuperating. Going to the clinic wasn’t necessary.
After a simple breakfast, Sun Li urged Ye Ling to rest in bed. Ye Ling looked at Min Nan, who had been silent in his chair, and asked, “Big Brother Min Nan, aren’t you going to work?”
“Don’t worry about him.” Sun Li explained on Min Nan’s behalf, “Dai Wei will handle his leave.”
Ye Ling felt a little embarrassed. “I’ve caused you trouble again. But I am fine.
You can go about your own business. Please don’t concern yourselves with me.”
Sun Li smiled reassuringly. “How can you call it trouble? We live under the same roof, so we’re like family. Don’t say such things. Just remember that.”
Ye Ling went inside to rest. Sun Li sat beside Min Nan and asked, “Who attacked Lingling?”
Min Nan shook his head. “She didn’t see what that person looked like.”
Sun Li’s brow furrowed. “Who could want to harm Lingling like this? To be so vicious!”
Min Nan’s expression darkened. “It’s someone who holds a grudge against her.” “Who do you think it might be?” Sun Li inquired anxiously.
“I need to verify further. Godmother, I’ll need your help taking care of her for the next few days.”
“You don’t even need to ask. Even if you and Lingling didn’t get together, I already consider her my daughter. I’ll look after her well, so please don’t worry.” Sun Li continued, her expression turning somber as she recalled something.
“Are you certain that this incident has nothing to do with Liu Lin? It’s not that I dislike Liu Lin, but something just doesnt sit right. Lingling got into trouble because you couldn’t pick her up on time. But you weren’t able to pick her up on time because Liu Lin intercepted you on the way.”
“Certainly not.” Min Nan silently answered Sun Li’s question in his mind.
However, Min Nan also understood that the matter wasn’t entirely resolved. If he were to confront Liu Lin now, she wouldn’t reveal the truth.
Seeing Min Nan’s troubled expression, Sun Li assumed he was still blaming himself and consoled him, “Don’t blame yourself too much. Nobody could have predicted this. Lingling doesn’t hold you responsible, so don’t be too hard on yourself. ”
Min Nan nodded, standing up from his chair. “Godmother, if I’m late tonight, please don’t wait for me for dinner.”
“Okay, you want to go out? Be careful on the road.”
After Ye Ling returned to her room, the faint voices from outside gradually faded away.
She was tired for the whole day and was not in a good mood. She lay on the bed and slept for a while. After waking up, she went to the small world and picked a few herbs to make an ointment.
Staring at her bruised leg, Ye Ling recalled the excruciating pain of treating her broken bone beneath the cliff. A shiver ran down her spine.
Who could want her dead so badly? If she were to discover the person’s identity, she wouldn’t let them go.
Ye Ling’s eyes darkened as she gazed at the two trees beside the stream.
After several days, one of the trees produced small, pale-green fruits. Ye Ling had studied these fruits and found them to be highly toxic.
At that moment, Ye Ling felt a surge of murderous intent.
Doctors were meant to heal and save lives. However, as someone who understood human anatomy and various medications, causing harm was simple for them.
Ye Ling was confident. If she wanted someone dead, she had dozens of methods at her disposal, each of which would leave no trace.
Yet, in an instant, Ye Ling remembered the ancestral teachings of the Ye family. She had the sense that her grandfather and mother were watching her from above. If she were to commit such harm, would they be deeply disappointed in her?
Ye Ling found herself lost in contemplation.
The Ye family’s ancestral teachings emphasized that harming others wasn’t just an offense against them. It was also self-destructive.
When you chose to harm another, you had truly abandoned your moral compass. Once you embraced evil, its stains would mark you forever, and your soul would never find peace..
