The Miracle Doctor's Wife is Not a Weak Lady!

Chapter 35

The Mu Family’s Past

Bei Shuo gave Mu Ci acupuncture at night, and Mu Ci could sense his acupuncture points even more strongly this time.

This time, he did not sleep. He pulled Bei Shuo over to chat with him.

Bei Shuo knelt at the head of the bed and hesitated.

Mu Ci reached out and touched her head. “If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Bei Shuo thought for a moment before saying, “Can you tell me more about your family? Something doesn’t feel right to me.”

Mu Ci’s eyes were bright as he looked at Bei Shuo. “Who do you think is strange? What do you feel is wrong? It doesn’t matter. Tell me and I’ll answer you one by one.”

Bei Shuo tilted her head. “For example, your mother doesn’t seem to like you very much.”

Mu Ci’s eyes darkened.

Bei Shuo quickly said, “It’s alright. My mother doesn’t like me anyway, because she didn’t raise me. In her eyes, I’m just a wild girl. I don’t have any manners, and I don’t look like a young lady from a wealthy family. Bei Le looks more like her daughter and grew up to be exactly what she wanted.”

Bei Shuo did not want to hurt Mu Ci’s feelings.

Mu Ci knew what she was trying to say. He stroked Bei Shuo’s hair and said softly, “Sometimes, parents are biased. I don’t know why she doesn’t like me. I’m three years older than my little brother. When my mother was pregnant with him, I was still a child. The adults were teasing me that after this, my mother wouldn’t only like me. I was quite afraid at that time, so I didn’t welcome my brother’s arrival.”

Mu Ci paused for a moment. “After my younger brother was born, his body was a little weak. My mother focused all her energy on him and pushed me to the nanny. After that, my mother never carried me again. She only had eyes for my younger brother, and I had to give in to him unconditionally. When my younger brother learned how to crawl, walk, and talk, as long as he took a fancy to my things, my mother would always give them to him directly. Then, she would tell me that I was an older brother and I had to look the part and give in to him.”

Bei Shuo was a little surprised, but after thinking about her family, she was not surprised.

“After that, I was kidnapped and escaped death. Although your master treated my injuries, I was stuck with a lot of ailments. When my mother saw me, I thought she would finally feel something toward me again. Instead, she was very calm.”

“The next time, my brother and I encountered the kidnappers again. The kidnappers didn’t succeed that time, but my brother and I were injured by a car and were hospitalized. Since I was protecting my brother, I was more seriously injured than him. I broke my ribs and leg bones, but Mom blamed me for not protecting him and causing him to be injured.”

Mu Ci could not continue.

Bei Shuo could not help but hold Mu Ci’s hand.

His parents’ bias was really unreasonable.

Bei Shuo bit her lip and continued to ask, “There are signs of poisoning in Brother Mu Ci’s body. The car accident should be an external injury. How did you get poisoned?”

Sometimes, it was better to ask clearly in one go. It was better to suffer short pain than go on with it long-term. Bei Shuo did not want to torture Mu Ci bit by bit. She did not want to expose his scars the next time he encountered something.

A trace of pain flashed across Mu Ci’s face. “It’s not easy for a child of the Mu family to grow up. My brother and I were poisoned. I was very hungry when I came back from school and ate all the poisonous snacks. My brother only ate two mouthfuls since he had eaten at my mother’s place before, so he wasn’t deeply poisoned. Grandpa bought a Snow PIll for $30 million, and my mother gave it to him without hesitation. I was in a coma in the hospital for a week and had to change all the blood in my body to save my life. From then on, my body became very weak and even caused an old injury in my leg to relapse. I slowly lost my ability to walk.”

Mu Ci’s voice was calm.

He had cried enough in his youth. All of his resentment and hate had rotted in his heart. He did not want to show it to anyone for the rest of his life.

Bei Shuo heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s alright. It’s alright. There’s still time. This way, I’ll be more confident in treating Brother Mu Ci’s illness.”

She reached out to touch Mu Ci’s face and said pitifully, “It’s okay. From now on, you have me. I’ll dote on you and take care of you!”

Bei Shuo felt that Mu Ci was too pitiful. Although she did not have her parents’ love, she had her master and senior brothers. She had grown up happily.

Mu Ci held Bei Shuo’s hand in his palm. “It’s a deal, Bei Shuo.”
