Chapter 307 Chances to survive= Null

Zhu Qian felt like his entire world was spinning out of control, his son was so badly injured and yet his family had the mood to eat a fancy meal? His son was groaning with pain in the shack and his family were drinking alcohol? They didn’t even call a doctor to take the nail out of his son’s back? How can they do that!

Yu Dong didn’t have the answers to Zhu Qian’s question obviously, she could only sigh in helplessness. This world was really too cruel to mers, so what if they were a freak of nature who despite having a body of a man who could give birth, they were, in the end, human beings, was it too hard to treat them like a normal living breathing human beings? But then again the people in this world condemned the birth of mers just as the people in her world condemned the birth of a girl, how many unborn girl children were aborted before they could even be born?

Everyone wanted a son in her world and frowned upon the birth of a daughter, the same case was in this world—— the only difference was the gender that was frowned upon was mer. A freak of a man who can give birth.

Ye Liu and Shen Li turned Lang Hui around and hurriedly wiped the injuries on his back, just as Yu Dong has said there was a really bad wound on the bottom right of his back just right above the head of his pelvis. Yu Dong took a deep breath as she lowered her knife to scrape the rotten flesh but just as she did that, there was a loud gasp behind her causing her to pause.

She slowly turned her head and sure enough, Zhu Qian was just a few steps away from her and that too was because Lang has stopped him from jumping at her on time. ” I think that you should take your husband outside, I don’t think that he will be able to see this.”

Zhu Qian was Lang Hui’s daddy and as a father who loved his child, it was impossible for him to watch his son’s flesh being cut open and blood gushing out but this was something that Yu Dong had to do even if it was painful to watch. No good person would like to see an innocent child bleed, even if Yu Dong was just treating Zhu Qian, she wasn’t a bit comfortable with scraping off his skin, if she had any other choice, she would have tried to take another option for this but there wasn’t any good alternative other than this.

She was uncomfortable watching this and she was a stranger to Lang Hui, so she couldn’t even think about how Zhu Qian must be feeling right now.

” No, I——” Zhu Qian opened his mouth to refuse but he was interrupted by Lang who pulled him towards the door.

” Sister Dong is right, as a mer its better for you not to see such things,” said Lang as she sternly spoke to her husband, she was worried that Zhu Qian wouldn’t be able to watch it and might hinder Yu Dong, so she resolutely dragged her husband outside the room.

” But I want to——” there was no way Zhu Qian would be able to sit outside and wait, even though the glimmer of hope was feeble, he still wanted to wait by his son and watch over him.

” I will stay behind and tell you about everything that’s going inside,” said Lang but when Zhu Qian continued to look stubbornly at him, she sighed and patted his cheek. ” I know what you are feeling but you can’t be much of a help here and if you stay behind maybe you might even hinder Sister Dong, do you think that she is any more comfortable than us? She isn’t liking this any more than you or me but she has to harden her heart and do what’s important but if you stay here, you might weaken her and that will delay our son’s treatment.”

Zhu Qian blinked away his tears, though he wanted to oppose whatever his wife was saying but he knew that she was right, even now a sob was building in his throat causing him to feel all itchy. He nodded and let his wife take him out of the room but before he walked outside he turned to his wife and looked at her with determination. ” Make sure you tell me everything.”

Lang nodded and then looked over her shoulder and called for Lang Ru who was still staring at her brother, trying to blink away the tears in her eyes. ” Ruru, come here and take care of your daddy for me, will you?”

Lang Ru jerked her head in a stiff nod before she turned to look at Yu Dong who was focusing on Lang Hui’s injury and the old nail that was stuck on his back. ” My brother will be fine right?”

Yu Dong paused as she carefully scraped off the rotten flesh around the wound that had the nail stuck in it, then she looked at Lang Ru who was peeing up at her with unshed tears in her eyes. If she was being honest, even with her spiritual powers, Yu Dong was only forty per cent sure that she will be able to save Lang Hui, his injuries were severe and the child had lost a lot of blood with his internal organs damaged, he couldn’t even get rid of the impurities in his body and his lower body was almost paralysed because of the long delay in his treatment.

Yet when she faced Lang Ru’s earnest gaze that was begging her to say something positive, Yu Dong couldn’t bring herself to tell the little girl that the chances of Her brother making out of this situation were null.

She forced a smile and nodded. ” I will try my best, Ruru.”

Because right now, that was the only thing she could do—— the rest would depend on this little child. If he was willing to fight for his life, he will make it out alive but if not, there was nothing she will be able to then.

Should I kill him off? For extra angst?
