The woman was wearing a black robe. Her attire was also very special. The black robe and hat covered most of her face.
She didn't walk fast, and every step she took was silent on the floor.
Her body was as light as duckweed, drifting with the waves.
She walked straight to the psychiatric ward.
People are not allowed to enter or leave this place.
However, the moment the woman stepped in, the security guard on duty yawned.
At the moment he yawned, the woman happened to walk past him.
The nurses passing by were all busy with their own things, as if they didn't see her at all.
She walked straight into the ward. As the door of the ward slowly opened, Xiao's mother, who was drowsy on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.
She sat up mechanically, staring at the door, her breathing becoming rapid.
The mysterious woman took off the hat that covered most of her face, revealing her true appearance.
She looks 30% similar to Xiao's mother. They are sisters. Judging from her age, she should be Xiao's mother's elder sister.
"Save Xiao Ming, save him." Xiao's mother struggled to get up from the bed, then fell to the ground with a thud.
Exhausted by the mental and physical torture, she struggled and crawled to the mysterious woman, hugging her legs.
She looked at the mysterious woman with a pleading look: "You said that as long as the mark on Mingming's body appears, everything will be fine."
"But why is this happening? Why?"
"I told you that at that time." The mysterious woman's tone was cold and without any emotion.
"He should have died like your other child."
"The forbidden method might allow him to survive, but it will deprive your entire family of all good fortune."
“That’s the price.”
"But why is Xiao Chen okay? He is the one pulling the strings. Shouldn't all the misfortunes be on Xiao Chen?" Xiao's mother was unwilling to give in.
"Xiao Chen was born to be rich and noble, so the forbidden technique has limited impact on him."
The woman slowly replied, "However, the forbidden technique has been established and cannot be changed. Therefore, as long as Xiao Ming lives, he will madly deprive everyone of everything until the bloodline of the Xiao family dries up..."
As she spoke, she leaned over and looked at Xiao's mother with cold eyes: "This is just the beginning. Maybe in the end, you will all die."
Mother Xiao collapsed on the ground, her expression shocked and she was breathing heavily.
"Is it worth it to risk your entire family's lives for your son?" The woman looked at her with pity.
"It's worth it, everything is worth it." Xiao's mother's eyes gradually became calm: "As long as Mingming is alive, it's worth it no matter how many people die."
"And wasn't the reason you practiced the forbidden technique because of that man? Unfortunately, you didn't succeed."
The mysterious woman's expression became complicated, and she murmured, "But I regret it. If I hadn't found this book in my father's study... If I had just accepted reality calmly, how much better would that have been?"
"Sister, please, I beg you..." Xiao's mother suddenly grabbed the mysterious woman's hand tightly: "Help me take care of Xiao Ming."
"He...he has no relatives. He is your nephew. Can you help me take care of him?"
"Sister." The mysterious woman stroked Xiao's mother's head, her expression becoming feminine: "Is it really worth it to destroy the fate of so many people for the sake of a son?"
"It's worth it. He is my flesh and blood. No matter what I do for him, it's worth it." Xiao's mother's voice was a little hoarse.
"Okay, I'll take care of him for you, and I've noticed he's quite talented." The mysterious woman smiled faintly, "I, Qin Youxin, must have a successor."
"Don't worry."
"Thank you, thank you." Xiao's mother murmured to herself as if she had let go of something important.
"It's better for you to stay crazy. It's too tiring to live like this. It's really too tiring." Qin Youxin shook his head slowly, then turned and left.
Xiao's mother slumped on the ground, her face ashen.
"She said that it would be better if we were deprived of our lives."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she slowly stood up and walked out of the ward.
The door of the ward was originally locked, but it was open after Qin Youxin left.
A nurse is changing the patient's dressing, and the cart is at the door.
Xiao's mother quickly took a pair of scissors, thought for a moment, and then picked up the nurse's mobile phone on the trolley.
She returned to the room, then gently closed and locked the door.
After locking the door of the ward, her expression relaxed. She picked up her cell phone and called Xiao Ming.
"Who is this?" Xiao Ming answered the phone.
"Mingming, it's me, I'm your mother." Xiao's mother's tone was unusually gentle when she spoke to Xiao Ming.
She was completely different from the person she was when she was sick and crazy before.
She came from a good family. Her parents were both university teachers when they were alive, and her father was a master of Chinese studies.
So her self-control was relatively good before she went crazy.
"Why are you calling again?" Xiao Ming's tone was a little impatient: "I already said, I'm not going home."
"I'm going to study in Yanjing soon, and Sister Xiang has arranged everything for me."
"Be good, Mommy just wants to talk to you." Xiao's mother slowed down her tone and said, "I'll be relieved if you can find your life's goals."
Perhaps thinking of the love Xiao's mother had for him in the past, Xiao Ming was silent for a moment: "Don't worry about me, I will take good care of myself, and I will come back to see you."
"Good, good, my Mingming has finally grown up." Xiao's mother was very happy. She said dotingly, "Mingming, you are the best. Mom... I am really happy for you."
"I won't let you down either." Xiao Ming said, "I relied on you before, but from now on, I have to rely on myself."
"That's great. You are my pride. I will always love you." Xiao's mother's tone was still gentle, but tears fell from her eyes.
"Okay, I have to pack my things. I will leave Yanjing in a few days. I will call you back when I get there. Don't worry about me." Xiao Ming said.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Mingming...can you...can you call me mom again?"
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Ming felt a little strange.
He wanted to get rid of Xiao's mother because her love for him made him feel suffocated.
But thinking that he was about to leave, he said, "Goodbye, Mom."
"Okay, goodbye." Xiao's mother took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she snuggled up to the headboard and hummed softly: "Little sun, hang high in the sky, your enthusiasm is like fire and warms my heart. Little saplings, bloom with joy, you are awesome, Mr. Sun! Little grass, smile happily, thank the sun for sending you energy."
The nursery rhyme she hummed while holding Xiao Ming in her arms appeared before her eyes...
As she hummed, she raised the scissors in her hand and cut her wrist without hesitation...
