Shoulders, arms, knees, twenty-two needles in total—
just like that, they were left inside Xingxing’s body.
Xingxing was so small, so little, how did she get through it.
Bai Xin hugged Bai Zhi tightly in her arms.
"Xingxing, Xingxing, Xingxing."
Bai Xin’s cries were heart-wrenching, and even breathing was painful.
When had this happened, when Xingxing was a child?
How could he bring himself to do that back then?
Even if she wasn’t his biological child, he had shamelessly switched children, how could he still do such a thing.
"Annie, I’m not in pain, don’t cry."
Bai Zhi gently patted Bai Xin’s back, as though she was comforting her.
Which made Bai Xin feel even more heartbroken.
Wu Wa directly walked over, taking Bai Zhi’s hand, her eyes filled with hatred, she wanted to kill the person who hurt Ah Zhi.
"I’m not in pain, don’t cry. If you do, I’ll want to cry too, what should I do?"
Bai Zhi felt somewhat strange in her heart, she was angry too and wanted to kill Bai Da. How old was the original owner at that time, she probably couldn’t even speak, and yet needles were stuck into her body—is there some deep-seated hatred? A person who doesn’t even spare a child is unfit to be human.
Bai Zhi’s heart also began to ache, the pain was continuous and immense, a massive sense of grievance welled up in her. Now that the dust had settled, all her emotions burst forth.
Bai Zhi had to exert a great deal of effort to hold back, making herself appear as if she didn’t care at all.
"Xingxing, if you want to cry, just cry it out, okay? Don’t hold it back, huh?"
Bai Xin’s eyes were swollen from crying, her hair already disheveled. She looked at Xingxing in front of her.
She still did not cry, stubbornly refusing to shed tears, and even comforted her with a smile.
But inside, how sad she must be. Always being ignored, she tried so hard, she was so well-behaved.
Why is fate so cruel to her, father, where are you? I don’t know what to do.
"Annie, I’m not crying, why should I cry? I’m happy, I am not Bai Da’s daughter, so, everything makes sense. He’s not my father, so he hates me, he loathes me. This means my real father didn’t abandon me on purpose, shouldn’t I be happy?"
Bai Zhi blinked, the corners of her mouth still carrying a smile, as if she was truly very happy.
Her smile, was so painfully insincere.
Bai Xin cried again, her tears streaming down, tightly holding onto Bai Zhi without letting go.
Wu Wa also stood behind Bai Zhi, tears streaming down her face like Bai Xin’s.
Bai Zhi felt their heartache, their anger...
Her heart, riddled with countless holes, seemed to have recovered a bit, but she still did not want to cry.
She just, really, really wanted to see Grandpa.
"Annie, I miss Grandpa."
Bai Zhi’s nose felt sour, and looking at the disheveled Bai Xin, she finally said it.
Bai Xin’s tears simply couldn’t stop, she didn’t know how to contact their father, but she could reach out to her sister-in-law.
Bai Xin made up her mind, forcefully wiping away her tears, then finally turned to Li Mo.
"I want to arrange for Xingxing’s hospitalization immediately, Li Mo, I don’t trust anyone right now, only you. I entrust Xingxing to you, please, help my Xingxing, will you?"
Tears remained in Bai Xin’s eyes that she couldn’t stop, her gaze towards Li Mo filled with pleading.
This was the first time Li Mo saw Bai Xin so helpless. He nodded vigorously.
"Okay, rest assured, I will take care of her. My master has gone to the province for a meeting, but I will find a way to contact him to ask him to come back. Bai Zhi’s condition, we can’t rush into surgery."
