“If we educate him properly, would things be better, at least not as bad as the information says?” Liu Dekai asked.

Su Yueya: "..."

Humans always tend to have wishful thinking.

But the reality is, there is no room for luck.

As a doctor, Su Yueya couldn't lie, nor could she say anything that contradicted her medical common sense.

It was cruel, but once she opened her mouth, she had to tell the truth.

“You should know very well that it is not easy to fight against the nature of your genes through education.”

“Your son is already one year old. Haven’t you noticed anything unusual? For example, his intelligence might be lower than that of children his age? Or he has difficulty concentrating? Under such circumstances, do you think it’s possible to change him through education? He might not even understand what you’re saying.”

Liu Dekai: "..."

This is tantamount to killing someone by breaking their spirit.

But Liu Dekai knew very well that Su Yueya wasn't talking nonsense; many images flashed through his mind.

For example, while other children of the same age can already speak, Xiao Rui can only utter a few simple words, and his pronunciation is not accurate enough.

For example, Xiao Rui has almost no expressive ability; he can't even speak a long sentence completely now.

For example, when Mo Youyou tried to educate Xiao Rui, she patiently talked a lot, but Xiao Rui was always playing with his toys with his head down, as if he wasn't listening at all, let alone responding to Mo Youyou.

These images flashed back to Liu Dekai's mind frame by frame, gradually intensifying his fear and unease.

At this moment, everything has become evidence.

This became evidence proving that Liu Shengrui was indeed Chao Xiong'er.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that all the suspected symptoms appeared on Liu Shengrui?

At this point in the conversation, Liu Dekai finally had to admit that his wishful thinking had been shattered.

It's completely shattered.

Liu Shengrui is indeed Chaoxiong; that's a certainty.

Seeing the change in his expression, Su Yueya knew that Liu Dekai had admitted it.

But she really didn't want to comfort Liu Dekai.

What's there to comfort me about?

When she kindly reminded them, what were Liu Dekai and Mo Youyou doing?

By doing this, they not only ruined their own lives, but also directly caused Liu Shengrui's misfortune.

Liu Dekai and Mo Youyou were young and could have had another healthy child. They ignored advice and gave birth to a child with a genetic disease, which was extremely irresponsible.

It can be said that it harms both oneself and others.

"Have you finished asking?" Su Yueya asked.

This is a way of telling you to leave.

"Hmm..." Liu Dekai looked completely lost. The shock he felt was immense, like a tsunami, and he could only process it silently.

Realizing that Su Yueya was trying to get rid of him, he knew there was no need for him to stay any longer.

"Thank you for asking so many questions. I'm sorry to have bothered you." Liu Dekai was unusually polite and even thanked Su Yueya.

In his current state, even if he wanted to argue, he wouldn't have the energy.

Su Yueya didn't say anything.

Liu Dekai stood up, preparing to leave, but he was so distracted that he tripped over a chair and almost fell. He then steadied himself by holding onto the edge of the table, his face pale, and staggered out of the medical department.

As soon as he left, Xu Luxin and Xie Ziai rushed over.

"This scumbag didn't cause any trouble?" Xie Ziai was shocked because this didn't fit his understanding of Liu Dekai. "What exactly did he ask you about?"

It's truly intriguing that a scumbag could change his ways.

After all, it involves other people's privacy, and once it's revealed, Su Yueya won't be able to explain to Xie Ziai how she knew Liu Shengrui was Chaoxiong when she was questioned. So, for both reason and emotion, she can't just speak out.

"It's nothing, just a small matter," Su Yueya replied dismissively.

“I don’t believe it. How could it be a small matter? Do you know how many times he came to see you before…” Xie Ziai pressed for more information.

Xu Luxin grabbed him and pulled him away from Su Yueya's office, saying, "Why do you talk so much? I already said it's a small matter, but you keep asking endless questions!"

Su Yueya gave Xu Luxin a grateful look.

Xu Luxin shook his head and quickly left with Xie Ziai.

Throughout the entire day, Liu Dekai appeared absent-minded, unable to think about anything else, completely preoccupied with this matter.

"Battalion Commander Liu, we're heading to the mess hall. Shall we come together?"

"Hmm? No, I'm not hungry yet. You guys go ahead, I'll go later." Liu Dekai sat on the edge of the training field, staring blankly into the distance.

"Oh." Several soldiers looked at Liu Dekai, finding him quite strange.

When they returned after their meal, they found Liu Dekai still motionless in the same position, with no one else around, which made them even more puzzled.

In addition, Liu Dekai had been frequently distracted and made mistakes during previous training sessions, appearing to be completely out of sorts.

Anyone with eyes can see that something's on his mind!

"Battalion Commander Liu, what's wrong? Did something happen? Tell us if you need anything, and we'll help if we can!"

"Yeah, Lao Liu, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell? Are you sick? You mustn't try to tough it out. Go to the medical department to get checked out right away!"

Faced with his brothers' concern, Liu Dekai could only manage a wry smile.

He's in a bind now!

He couldn't very well tell everyone that his son was a dangerous element who might destroy everything he had in the future.

Liu Dekai couldn't bring himself to say it, and he absolutely didn't want or dare to let more people know about it.

"It's nothing, really nothing, I just..." Liu Dekai racked his brains and came up with a passable excuse, "I didn't sleep well last night, that's why I look so pale."

"Really?" the brothers asked skeptically.

We've all been on missions before, what kind of harsh conditions haven't we experienced?

Not sleeping well does make you feel bad the next day, but it's definitely not as bad as Liu Dekai's condition. His reaction now is 100% certain that something is wrong.

But we are all adults and know what boundaries are.

Liu Dekai said this simply because he didn't want them to keep asking questions, and they shouldn't pry too much; they had to respect other people's privacy.

"Really!" Liu Dekai smiled rather reluctantly, making an excuse, "I'll rest for a bit, and I'll be fine this afternoon."

"Then be careful!" the brothers said, and then left understandingly.

Liu Dekai continued to sit on the sidelines of the training field. He didn't want to move at all. All his strength had dissipated. He didn't want to do anything or think about anything.
