Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Tetrahydrozoline

"Teacher Zhao, what would you like to eat?"

Yu Qiaoqing asked with a smile on her face.

"Get me a tomato and egg stir-fry, and a green bean pork belly..."

"Do you want some freshly made pork rib soup?" Yu Qiaoqing continued.

She always smiled, but her body was dripping wet, her hair sticking to her forehead, and her pale cheeks, making her look like a ghastly demon crawling out of Hell.

"Give me a bowl."

Zhao Xuerong thought about it and decided to have a bowl since it was raining and the weather was a bit chilly, so she wanted to sip some hot soup.

"Just a moment." Yu Qiaoqing turned around to serve her soup.

But from Zhao Xuerong’s third-person perspective, she saw Yu Qiaoqing take out a bottle, pour it into the soup bowl, stirred it a few times, then turned around and handed it to Zhao Xuerong, who was fetching food.

Zhao Xuerong initially thought she had poisoned the soup, but upon seeing the bottle clearly, she was stunned because it was a bottle of eye drops.

Zhao Xuerong, looking perplexed, received the soup bowl, and her dream shifted again, turning into Yu Qiaoqing’s endless anxiety.

But Zhao Xuerong had no more interest to continue watching.

"I died because of a bottle of eye drops?" Zhao Xuerong thought about it and couldn’t reconcile it.

"That’s the fact."

Principal Wei also didn’t expect that Zhao Xuerong’s death would be caused by such a reason.

She had a happy future but it ended so abruptly and carelessly.

"But it’s just a bottle of eye drops, can it really kill someone?" Zhao Xuerong couldn’t believe it.

"It’s possible, because the ingredient of the eye drops is Tetrahydrozoline, and the symptoms you had before death, matched a Tetrahydrozoline poisoning."

"Tetrahydrozoline can cause vasoconstriction, leading to headache, blurred vision, tachycardia..."

"Principal Wei, you sure know a lot."

"It’s not that I know a lot, it’s because I have used such eye drops before; my loved one has slight dementia, once the eye drop bottle was empty, I thought it might have been ingested by her, so I checked..."

Zhao Xuerong fell silent, just staring intently at the two people sleeping on the bed.

"What are you planning to do now?" Principal Wei asked.

Zhao Xuerong’s gaze moved to the little girl called Sun Yanan.

It would be pitiful for the little girl if her mom ran into trouble, but letting Yu Qiaoqing off so easily was not satisfying either.

"Principal Wei, what do you think I should do?" Zhao Xuerong looked at Principal Wei.

Principal Wei said, "I can’t make this decision for you, but everyone must bear their own mistakes, accept... accept their fate... sigh..."

Principal Wei looked at the sweetly sleeping little girl, and couldn’t help but sigh himself.

He didn’t pity Yu Qiaoqing; he pitied the little girl in front of him.

Zhao Xuerong didn’t get the answer she wanted, and then turned her gaze to Xiao Yue, who had been standing quietly by her side.

Xiao Yue coldly said, "Kill her."

And then pointed to Sun Yanan on the bed: "Send to the orphanage."

Zhao Xuerong: ...

Principal Wei: ...

Zhao Xuerong thought about it and finally said, "I won’t kill her, but I can’t let her off easily either."

Then she materialized her form and pushed the sleeping Yu Qiaoqing.

Yu Qiaoqing, who was already having a light sleep due to nightmares, opened her eyes groggily.

And just then, her eyes met Zhao Xuerong’s.

Zhao Xuerong didn’t display anger, but with a smile and a sinister tone said, "Yu Qiaoqing, I died a horrible death..."

Yu Qiaoqing instantly woke up, her heart pounding, let out a scream, grabbed the blanket in an attempt to cover herself.

But remembering her daughter next to her, she immediately flung herself over her daughter, protecting her beneath herself, then looked towards where Zhao Xuerong had just stood, but saw no one; looking around the familiar room, she felt a sigh of relief.

Was it because she wasn’t fully awake from the nightmare, or was she seeing things?

Sun Yanan woke up, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Mommy, what happened?"

"It’s nothing, mommy had a nightmare. Go back to sleep," she gently caressed her daughter’s forehead, softly comforting.

But when she looked up, she saw Zhao Xuerong standing at the door, smiling at her.

Yu Qiaoqing’s eyes widened, and her voice caught in her throat, completely losing her voice in fright.

Her body went limp, as if all strength had been drained from her, and she broke out in a cold sweat, the heat being drawn away, making her feel chilly.

She collapsed on the bed, and after a long while, a hoarse voice came from her throat.

"You... you... I... I..."

But before she could finish, Zhao Xuerong’s figure suddenly disappeared.

Yu Qiaoqing felt a slight warmth below, she had been scared into wetting herself.

"Teacher Zhao, I’m sorry... I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to kill you, I didn’t do it on purpose..."

Finally regaining her senses, Yu Qiaoqing burst into loud cries, pleading non-stop.

"Mom... what’s wrong with you?"

"Mom, please don’t scare me... sob sob sob..."

"Teacher Zhao, please, I beg you, spare me, spare my daughter..."

"Spare my daughter, if you want revenge, just come at me, there is a debtor for every debt..."

Yu Qiaoqing hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, fearfully looking around, terrified for her daughter’s life.

...

At this moment, Zhao Xuerong suddenly appeared again by the bed.

She coldly said to the woman pleading sorrowfully in front of her, "Turn yourself in, and I will spare you... and her..."

Her gaze shifted to Sun Yanan, who was tightly held in Yu Qiaoqing’s arms, wanting to turn her head at the sound but being firmly restrained by her.

"I’ll turn myself in... I’ll do it at dawn..." Yu Qiaoqing said in a panic.

"I hope you keep your promise, otherwise I will come for you again," Zhao Xuerong said.

Then her figure disappeared into thin air once more.

Yu Qiaoqing then felt as if she had lost all her strength, releasing her daughter.

"Mom?" Sun Yanan, who was still sobbing, looked around in confusion.

But the space by the bed was empty, and there was no one there; had she heard wrong?

"Mom, what’s wrong?" Sun Yanan approached her mother and asked worriedly.

Yu Qiaoqing hugged her again and started to weep softly.

"I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."

Regret welled up in her heart but what use was it now; there’s no medicine for regret in this world.

She had to swallow the bitter fruit of her own making, the only thing she couldn’t let go of was her daughter.

...

"Will she turn herself in tomorrow?"

Though she had just scared her, Zhao Xuerong still wasn’t sure.

"She will, for her daughter," Principal Wei said.

"Did I do something wrong?" Zhao Xuerong asked.

She was inherently kind and pure, and now she felt somewhat guilty.

"You did what you had to do. As I just said, everyone must bear responsibility for their own mistakes; all the consequences are of her own making..."

That being said, that little girl was truly pitiable, without a father, and soon without a mother either, it’s uncertain if she could safely grow up.

"I wonder if she has any other family," Zhao Xuerong said.

Xiao Yue was beside them, silent and clearly in low spirits.

Why could a bad person be a good mother?

And her own mother, couldn’t even compare to a bad person.

If possible, she would rather be the daughter of that bad person.

Even if she had no mother in the future.
