After Bei Chen left, Mo Shisheng sighed softly, walked to the bedside and sat down, gently taking Bei Rao's hand in hers. "Mother, why did you do this?"
"Shi Sheng, you stay here with me, stay here with me, let me protect you, do you hear me?"
Feeling Mo Shisheng's hand, Bei Rao quickly raised her hand and tightly gripped Mo Shisheng's hand in return, her body trembling slightly, indicating that she was extremely afraid.
"don’t worry."
Mo Shisheng raised her other hand and placed it on Bei Rao's shoulder, gently comforting her, "I'm fine, but you, how come you're covered in injuries after only a few days?"
When Mo Shisheng tried to check Bei Rao's wounds, Bei Rao gripped her hand even tighter. "Shisheng, promise me you'll stay by my side, do you hear me?"
"Mother, may I take a look at your wound first?"
Mo Shisheng's tone was tinged with helplessness. She tried to pull her hand away, but found she couldn't. "Please listen to me, okay? Otherwise, do you want me to keep worrying?"
"..."
Hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Bei Rao hesitated for a moment, her grip tightening. "You promised me..."
"Mother, be good."
Knowing what Bei Rao wanted to say, Mo Shisheng interrupted her.
"..."
Bei Rao hesitated for a moment, then loosened her grip slightly. Mo Shisheng immediately pulled her hand away and flicked her finger to light the candles in the room.
Light streamed into the room in an instant, and Mo Shisheng's gaze fell on Bei Rao's face, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness. "You don't look well."
"I'm fine, it's just that I've been cooped up in my room these past few days..."
Do you think these words will fool me?
Mo Shisheng spoke calmly, "Mother, I only hope you can take good care of yourself. How can you put my mind at ease if you do this?"
Bei Rao's wounds were quite severe, and seeing that the wounds were deep and close to her hands, Mo Shisheng knew that Bei Rao had injured herself.
Mo Shisheng wasn't stupid; she immediately realized that Bei Rao was probably using her injuries to blackmail Bei Chen, otherwise he wouldn't have asked her to come see Bei Rao.
"You are my only child. If I can't even protect you, what's the point of my life? Shisheng, promise your mother, and promise me first, you will never leave my side, do you hear me?"
Bei Rao reached out and gripped Mo Shisheng's hand tightly once more, her voice urgent and anxious, "Shisheng, do you know they all want you dead?"
"I know."
Mo Shisheng nodded slightly, her expression remaining largely unchanged. "Mother, so can you tell me what exactly the Demon Eyes do? Does Father have them?"
"..."
This was the first time in a long time that Mo Shisheng had mentioned the word "father." Even Bei Rao was surprised that she would mention that person, and she was stunned for a moment.
Originally, she subconsciously wanted to avoid the question, but things had already come to this point, and Bei Rao felt that Mo Shisheng needed to know.
Bei Rao's eyes held a hint of suppressed pain. "He has demonic eyes, and because of them, he has severed all emotions and desires. That's why he abandoned my daughter and me. I still don't know where he is."
"Is it merely about severing all emotions and desires?"
Mo Shisheng's gaze was somewhat unfocused. Recalling Bei Ya's words from that day, a faint pain welled up in her heart. If she had accepted the power of the Demon Eye, she would definitely not have been suppressed, but the price was so high...
