"Aning, I’m your brother."
"Brother?" The girl turned to glance at the man standing in the doorway behind her and, seeing him nod, withdrew her gaze.
"Mm, I came to see you and brought a gift. Here, let me put it on for you."
Lin Yebai took something out of his pocket; it was a reddish-bronze color, and it was unclear what it was, but Ou Mucen could immediately sense an intense, ancient presence that had long been hidden within it.
Seeing it, the girl obediently nodded for him to put it on her.
Once on, the dark red cord and the reddish-bronze ancient artifact hung around the girl’s neck, lying against her pale, delicate skin, and it somehow looked just right, as if it had been made specifically for her.
After putting it on, he didn’t ask if it was pretty, but rather if it was comfortable?
So Ou Mucen, standing to the side, witnessed the girl in the wheelchair nod again, "It’s comfortable, cool. Brother, what is this?"
"It’s an amulet. Remember, never take it off, okay?"
She was very obedient, so obedient it was as if they were back in those years past with no gaps or unhappiness between them, compliantly bringing the man crouching there to the verge of tears.
In fact, when he heard her call him "Brother," his eyes indeed began to moisten, and had he not quickly looked away, he would surely have been seen.
After finally managing to suppress the sourness in his eyes, he looked back at her eyes and, upon seeing that they were a jade-like green, clenched his fists tightly and abruptly stood up, "Look what you’ve done to her! Didn’t you say you would protect her well? Is this your idea of protection?"
He was enraged again, not for any other reason, but because the severity was much greater than he had imagined.
Ou Mucen hadn’t expected him to suddenly lose his temper. Seeing his expression change so dramatically, his eyes filled with deep animosity towards him, Ou Mucen felt his heart sinking.
"What do you think? Normal eyes are black or her original amber color. But now, they are indeed green. You tell me if that’s severe?"
He was roaring again, startling the woman and child in the hospital room, making them all turn to look at him.
Ou Mucen saw this, frowned, and finally, he gestured with his eyes for him to come outside to talk, then went out first.
Lin Yebai, watching from behind, came to his senses and followed him out.
Outside, the man stood at the railing, already lighting a cigarette. When he saw Lin Yebai approaching, he exhaled a ring of smoke, his eyes flickering dimly and brightly through the haze as he looked over...
Seeing this, Lin Yebai came over, "If you don’t want her to get into trouble again, it’s best you let her come with me."
"What right do you have?"
"What right? The right that I can save her. I understand this business, but you, you don’t understand anything, you don’t know anything. How can I entrust her to you with peace of mind?"
It didn’t take two sentences before he was raising his voice again!
Indeed, this man didn’t understand anything about heterochromia or their line of work. How could he take care of her? And how could he help her recover?
