"If I find out you've secretly taken off your blindfold, you can forget about ever seeing your mother again!"

Mingyao nodded like a little chick pecking at rice, practically swearing an oath to the heavens with three fingers raised.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not take it off."

After putting on the blindfold, she groped her way into the car.

Su Qiqiang is really wary. Is he so afraid that she will try to take Ming Suqin away?

The journey was very bumpy, and every minute and second felt incredibly long.

Mingyao's bottom was numb from sitting for so long before the car finally stopped.

Su Qiqiang's voice rang out after a long absence: "Get out of the car."

"Dad, can I take off my blindfold now?"

"cannot."

"oh."

Mingyao grabbed Su Qiqiang's hand and got out of the car.

She followed closely behind Su Qiqiang, afraid of falling.

After walking about fifty meters, Mingyao smelled disinfectant.

The nurse on duty greeted Su Qiqiang kindly when she saw him.

It's obvious they know each other well.

Mingyao pricked up her ears, carefully discerning the sounds around her.

After she lost her sight, her hearing improved significantly.

But this didn't allow her to determine what kind of hospital it was.

"alright."

As soon as Su Qiqiang finished speaking, Mingyao couldn't wait to take off her blindfold.

She and Su Qiqiang had somehow ended up in a dark hospital room.

Su Qiqiang didn't start anything. Ming Yao used the faint light from her phone and the sounds from the medical equipment to confirm Ming Suqin's identity.

After not seeing her for a while, Ming Suqin had become even thinner.

Using the light from her phone's flashlight, Mingyao carefully examined Ming Suqin.

Ming Suqin's eye sockets and cheeks showed different degrees of hollowing, and she was almost as thin as a skeleton.

Mingyao felt a pang of heartache, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

She gripped Ming Suqin's withered hand tightly, her heart sinking into a deep chill.

At the Central Hospital, Ming Suqin had finally started to feel better, but then...

She bit her lower lip, trying to hold back her tears.

"Dad, will Mom get better?"

She looked at Ming Suqin and asked in a hoarse voice.

Su Qiqiang nodded: "As long as you do your job well, I will give your mother the best treatment!"

She's been doing her job well, but is that good treatment?

If Ming Suqin hadn't been in Su Qiqiang's hands, she would have killed Su Qiqiang herself!

What a bastard he is! How could he treat his wife like that?

Su Qiqiang glanced at the time and said impatiently, "It's time to go."

Mingyao wiped away her tears and stood up reluctantly.

"Put it on."

Mingyao weakly took the blindfold and put it back on.

On the way back, she was in a daze; Ming Suqin's condition was more serious than she had imagined.

What if she can't make it to the day she completes her mission?

Mingyao's thoughts were in turmoil; she needed to speed things up.

It was quite late when Mingyao returned to the Pei family mansion. She walked into the living room with a heavy heart.

"Why are you only getting back now?"

Pei Siyu's voice came out suddenly, startling Mingyao, and her pale face regained some brightness.

She looked at Pei Siyu sitting on the sofa in surprise and asked, "President Pei, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"

Pei Siyu stared intently at Mingyao, gradually approaching her.

He had a strong minty scent, which immediately sobered Mingyao up.

She held her breath, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would leap out of her chest.

What exactly does he want to do?

Pei Siyu's handsome features suddenly magnified dozens of times before her eyes, and Mingyao's heart stopped beating abruptly.

Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Pei Siyu, her mind completely blank.

Pei Siyu narrowed his eyes, his deep, unfathomable pupils revealing a light that she couldn't fathom.

"You cried?"

Mingyao was taken aback, subconsciously wiping away the tears on her cheeks, and said guiltily, "No."

"The wind outside is too cold, and it hurts a little when it hits my face."

"Yeah?"

He seemed unconvinced and moved even closer to Mingyao, asking in a questioning tone, "Who were you with just now?"

"My dad."

"Not Wang Zhouheng?"

Mingyao looked at Pei Siyu with a puzzled expression. "Dr. Wang and I haven't been in contact for a long time."

Why did you bring him up?

Pei Siyu looked away and said calmly, "It's nothing."

That's really strange.

Back in her room, Mingyao took out her phone.

On the way there, Su Qiqiang put away her phone, only giving it back to her at the hospital for lighting.

Seeing airplane mode on her phone, Mingyao was speechless.

Did Su Qiqiang really have to go to such lengths?

After she turned off airplane mode, several missed calls popped up on her screen.

Mingyao was startled; all these calls were from Wang Zhouheng.

"Dr. Wang, is there something you need from me?"

She guessed that Wang Zhouheng couldn't reach her, so she called Pei Siyu.

"Miss Su, I want to explain Suqin's situation to you."

Mingyao's heart jumped: "Dr. Wang, do you know which hospital she's in?"

"I'm not quite sure; I've been sending people to inquire."

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I contacted you last time when your father transferred Ming Suqin to another hospital."

“You were busy at the time, so I thought I'd contact you again once I found a clue, but I never expected…”

"sorry."

"Dr. Wang, please don't say that."

“I am very happy and grateful that you and Chao Muxue can help me.”

"And this is my own business."
