Chapter 235: Abandoned

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Abandoned

Mrs. Fang, who had been ignored by everyone, was finally able to speak after Chu Miao lifted the restriction she had placed on her.

However, she regretted that decision almost immediately.

"Why didn’t you treat me too? How can you be so heartless? Aren’t we living in the same house, then why don’t I get treated as well since I might have been infected too?" She asked several questions consecutively with that unreasonable, loud voice of hers.

The harmonious atmosphere was shattered at that moment. Everyone turned to look at this woman who had been silent all along but was finally speaking.

It was only at that moment that they realized that she might not have been quite out of her will but was forced to shut up.

Before Mr. Fang could say anything to reprimand her, Chu Miao beat him to it.

"One more word from that rotten mouth of yours and I’ll make sure you never speak another word in your life."

When she heard that voice and the words of threat that followed, Mrs. Fang kept quiet as if the pause button on a remote had been pressed.

She had already experienced the feeling of wanting to speak but unable to make a sound. She really didn’t want to experience it again, but if she didn’t speak now and have this devil’s mother treat her, then she might as well wait for death.

Thinking of dying emaciated because she had vomited and had diarrhea for too long without treatment, she finally broke down.

She was wailing as if her entire family had been killed. If there were young babies or elders with a heart disease in that building they would have been scared to death by that crying voice.

It was one of a kind, just like her scolding voice. However, one could hear that this time she was crying from the bottom of her heart out of the fear of death.

From listening to this heartbreaking cry, those standing there could tell the difference between this genuine cry and the one from before when she was shouting for people to help her son.

Even a deaf could tell what was wrong. Her initial cry for the neighbors to offer help to her son was a pretense. She wasn’t that sad or genuinely seeking help for her son, she must have had other agendas and used her son’s illness as an opportunity or a stepping stone.

This was as heartless as they come. And of course, if the neighbors could tell, how could her husband who had shared the same bed with her for so many years be clueless?

The man, who was about to lower himself to ask for help for his unreasonable wife, closed his mouth. Such a mother, if she was allowed to continue, would probably sell their son for a packet of noodles. He would not take the risk.

If she survived, that would be her luck, but if she didn’t then he was done with her and would give her a respectable send off as the last sign of respect for their twenty plus years of marriage.

At that moment, Mr. Fang felt a rare sense of clarity and regret. Clarity because he had finally realized that compromise does not bring peace but only fuels unsavory behavior.

If he had been unyielding from the start, maybe his first son wouldn’t have been led astray by his mother’s guidance and ended up in a coffin so early.

If he had been adamant, maybe his younger son would have grown up in a more stable and loving environment. They didn’t lack in terms of material things.

After all, to be able to afford an apartment in the Garden community wasn’t by chance. He was a director at a big company and earned a decent salary. Unfortunately, he had neglected everything else at home. Now, to protect his younger son, he would let his wife fend for herself.

The person most heartbroken even though he had already made up his mind was Fang Yao. Even though he had been unconscious earlier, he was aware of everything going on outside.

Therefore, he had heard his mother’s cries for help and had thought that even if his mother never showed him kindness, at least when his life was in danger she struggled to carry him to seek help.

Only now, listening to the heartbreaking cries coming out of her mouth did he realize how naive he had been.

His mother wasn’t calling out to the neighbors to seek help for him. He was just an excuse. That was why he had been in the mood to argue with others while he had been lying there without being attended to.

It was such an ironic picture.

"Okay, let’s go back to our own activities." Chu Miao said as she looked at the soldiers in the corridor who immediately saluted and turned to leave.

Then she turned to Fang Yao and said, "You should also rest well and eat something nutritious to replenish your strength." Chu Miao advised as she looked at the young man her age.

She saw potential in him and was just waiting for that bothersome woman’s fate to be decided before recruiting him.

She didn’t recruit him now because she knew that this would give his mother ground to haunt them. She wasn’t interested in dealing with living ghosts.

"Thank you Miss Chu for your help and advice. I will take good care of myself. My life was saved by Mrs. Chu this time, I thank you again for your grace." Fang Yao was so cultured that he surprised everyone who remained there.

It was surprising having been raised by someone with such a distorted view of the world could raise such an outstanding son.

"Don’t mention it. I only did what any decent human being would do." Chu Miao said indifferently.

She indeed wasn’t concerned about this small thing that was done. Saving a life without having to struggle with blood and flesh mangled was a good deal.

She could also gather merit while at it and improve her karma for the benefit of future cultivation.
