Song Yaoyao’s eyes curved. She could sense the sudden sadness between the mother and son, and her tone became even sweeter. “Then, I can leave Auntie my phone number. Whenever you miss me, you can give me a call. I will visit when I have time.”

Mother Wei was ecstatic. She quickly nodded her head as her eyes lit up.

“Okay! Okay!”

Sometimes, the fate between two people was amazing. Just like the way that Song Yaoyao made Mother Wei think of her daughter. It made her believe that if she was alive, she would be just as beautiful and cute.

Mother Wei didn’t have much energy, so after a short chat with Song Yaoyao, she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Before she fell asleep, she handed Song Yaoyao a box: a gift for their first meeting.

Song Yaoyao knew she would be upset if she didn’t accept it, so she took the box and did not reject it.

After Mother Wei fell asleep, she examined her body. The woman was very weak, and her organs were failing, but most importantly…

“This is a mental issue.”

Wei Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was the middle of winter, but he was so anxious that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

He was afraid of receiving bad news.

“Then…can she be saved?” he asked carefully.

“Yes and no.”

Song Yaoyao gently started walking to the stairs. “Let’s talk downstairs. We don’t want to disturb Auntie.”

“Miss Song, what are you trying to say?”

Wei Ning was worried. As this 180cm tall man followed behind Song Yaoyao, he was anxious like a child.

“I already told you, it’s a mental issue: Auntie, herself, doesn’t want to live.”

“My mom…”Wei Ning’s mouth opened, but he quickly became dispirited. He smiled bitterly. “I know. But I…”

He couldn’t bear to part with her.

Mother Wei had lived a tough life. She was the original wife of Wei Ning’s father and he married her by choice, but Wei Ning’s grandmother disapproved of them. Back then, even when his grandfather agreed, she still refused to let Wei Ning’s mother live in their home.

Left with no choice, Father Wei had to buy a separate residence for her, which was the current villa they were in.

Father Wei had a special identity and was often sent out on missions. Sometimes, he could be gone for several months.

When he wasn’t around, Mother Wei’s life was particularly difficult. Grandmother Wei would cause trouble every 2-3 days and even tried to kick them out of their home. In those days, they had outdated ideals and believed that a daughter-in-law deserved to be hit if they weren’t obedient. So, Grandmother Wei beat Mother Wei many times. But in order not to worry Father Wei, she simply endured it without a word.

That child, Wei Ning’s sister, was lost because of Grandmother Wei’s beatings.

Perhaps, due to karma, Grandmother Wei fell down the stairs and died from a cerebral hemorrhage not long after.

However, the damage had already been done. Moreover, the Weis had a lot of ‘unique’ relatives. Filled with despair, Mother Wei requested to get a divorce with Father Wei. Of course, Father Wei refused.

As a result, they had been living separately ever since.

Song Yaoyao didn’t understand why Wei Ning shared all this with her. She simply wrote out a prescription and said, “Auntie’s illness is actually very easy to treat. She has to resolve the matter that’s been bothering her.”

If someone didn’t want to live, all medicines were useless.

She left behind the prescription and told Wei Ning that she would be back in three days.

Wei Ning wanted to show her out, but Song Yaoyao refused.

After she boarded her car, Song Yaoyao was unusually quiet. She rubbed her chest.

It didn’t feel too good.

She checked her own pulse. Her heart was healthy and it beat strongly.

Yet, it did not feel good.

“Hey!” Huo Ningxi furrowed his brows. “What’s wrong? You don’t look too well.”

Huo Jiu quickly turned around. Indeed, Song Yaoyao’s eyebrows were knitted in silence.

“Song Yaoyao?”
