At dinner time, Yun Shixian was out socializing as usual, so only Yun Yao and Yun Cong, brother and sister, were at the dinner table.
"Big sister, how is the second sister's health?"
Yun Cong is the only son in the family and the hope for the future of the Yun family. As he is a boy, the task of taking care of Yun Huan does not fall on him. Even Jiang Yu and Yun Shixian do not allow him to go to the hospital often. He can only inquire about Yun Huan's recent situation through Jiang Yu and Yun Yao.
Yun Yao sighed softly and briefly told Yun Huan what he had learned about her illness through the nurse's casual chat.
"When Xiao Huan wakes up, he will probably make a fuss again. After all, it is hard for anyone to accept this kind of disease."
Yun Cong looked at the dishes on the table, his childish face showing gloom and resentment, "Why isn't Yun Mo the one who's sick!"
Yun Yao couldn't help but glance at Yun Cong, "Xiao Cong, don't say such things again in the future."
"Why can't I tell you? Am I wrong? She has been eating and drinking for free at our house for 18 years. This disease should have fallen on her!"
"Your words won't help Xiao Huan's condition. Instead, they will make others think you are cold-blooded and vicious. It's not good for you or your parents."
A capable mother's family is a woman's greatest confidence and support, and the future of the Yun family lies in Yun Cong. Therefore, Yun Yao does not want Yun Cong to destroy his reputation, so she speaks out to persuade him, hoping to establish a good relationship with the other party.
If nothing unexpected happens, the family will have to rely on her and Yun Cong to support it in the future.
"I just can't help but feel angry. Everyone else is fine, why did my second sister have this disease?"
"The nurse said that Xiao Huan's condition was discovered in time and there is great hope for recovery."
After hearing this, Yun Cong felt much better.
After dinner, Yun Yao was settling accounts in her room when Sister Juan suddenly came to visit her.
"Miss, I want to quit my job and go back to the countryside. The money you promised me before..."
Yun Yao smiled slightly, "Sister Juan, I have prepared the money, when do you plan to leave?"
"On the 13th, it just so happens that a fellow villager of mine is also going back, so I'll go with her."
Yun Yao nodded and agreed without hesitation, "I will tell mom tomorrow and hire someone to take over your job. Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, you come to the moat behind the hospital to wait for me, and I will give you the money."
Although she was curious why the baby wasn't given directly at home, she didn't ask any more questions, thinking less trouble is better.
Although the head of the family did not reveal Yun Huan's illness to the servants, they could feel from their attitude and emotions that Yun Huan must be seriously ill.
She has been living in a state of anxiety these past few days, fearing that what she has done will be discovered.
Right now she just wanted to get the money quickly and leave this place of trouble.
Ever since she learned that she had leukemia, not pneumonia, Yun Huan has been making a lot of noise. She not only refuses to eat and drink, but also refuses to undergo chemotherapy and take medicine.
The reason was that Yun Yao "accidentally" mentioned that chemotherapy would cause hair loss and eventually lead to becoming bald.
A 15-year-old girl is at the age of loving beauty, so how can she tolerate herself becoming an ugly bald girl?
In the end, there was no other way and the doctor could only continue to give Yun Huan sedatives so that Yun Huan could quietly receive chemotherapy and drug treatment.
Time passed quickly and it was evening.
Under the effect of the sedative, Yun Huan fell asleep quietly on the hospital bed.
Ten minutes before 10 o'clock, Yun Yao got up and walked to the window. Through the window, she could vaguely see a figure standing by the moat.
At 10 o'clock, the lights in the entire inpatient building were turned off one by one, and the patients and their accompanying family members lay down on their beds to rest.
Yun Yao carried her bag to the public restroom, changed into the nurse uniform she bought outside, put on a mask, and then hid the bag containing the clothes in the utility room where the cleaner kept his tools.
Sister Juan was waiting anxiously, and when she heard footsteps approaching behind her, she turned around in surprise.
"big……"
Yun Yao walked all the way to the railing of the moat before turning around and saying, "Sister Juan, it's me."
Hearing Yun Yao's voice, Sister Juan couldn't help but wonder, "Miss, what are you doing..."
"After staying in the hospital for a long time, I suddenly thought that being a nurse would be nice, so I borrowed other people's clothes to wear. How about it, do I look like a nurse?"
"Same, so similar! I didn't recognize it just now."
Sister Juan praised him a few words and then couldn't wait to ask about the money.
"Miss, it's getting late. I have to go back and pack my luggage. The money..."
"Don't worry, Sister Juan, you will get the money. But I have a few words to tell you, please come closer."
"Yeah, okay."
Looking at Sister Juan who was approaching her defenselessly, Yun Yao's eyes exposed outside the mask flashed with a mysterious light.
The next second, she took out a handkerchief soaked in ether and covered Sister Juan's mouth and nose tightly.
“Mmm…”
Sister Juan opened her eyes wide and struggled constantly, but soon she lost consciousness and leaned limply against Yun Yao.
After confirming that Sister Juan was completely unconscious, Yun Yao let go of her hand, looked around, and then pushed the handkerchief and the unconscious Sister Juan into the river.
“Plop!”
The sound of falling into the water was particularly clear in the silent night.
Yun Yao stared at the bubbling river surface, her chest heaving violently, her eyes sinister and vicious.
Sister Juan, please go with peace of mind. I will burn enough paper money for you so that you can enjoy it slowly in the afterlife.
Only when the river became completely calm did Yun Yao turn around and quickly run back to the hospital.
It took Yun Yao less than 15 minutes to change into her clothes and return to Yun Huan's ward.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the dark and silent moat, Yun Yao's heart was not as calm as she appeared.
In fact, she didn't intend to kill Sister Juan at the beginning, but as time went on, she became more and more aware that only the dead can keep secrets.
Rather than keeping such a time bomb that could threaten her at any time, it would be better to get rid of it all at once.
Yun Yao couldn't sleep that night.
The first time she killed someone, she was filled with fear and anxiety, but at the same time, she felt a sense of relief and excitement that the threat had been eliminated.
The next day, Yun Yao returned home. While the servant went out to buy groceries, she sneaked into the servant's room and found the money hidden by Sister Juan without much effort.
There were more than 530 yuan in total. Yun Yao put the change of more than 30 yuan back and only took the 500 yuan that she had given to Sister Juan before.
The family soon discovered that Sister Juan was missing and reported it to the police.
The police came to the house to conduct some inquiries and investigations, and seeing that Sister Juan’s luggage and belongings had not been taken away, they inferred that something might have happened.
The Yun family was already in a turbulent time, so they had no mood or energy to take care of a servant's affairs. Jiang Yu simply had someone pack up Sister Juan's things and send them to the residence of a fellow villager who was familiar with Sister Juan.
Two days later, a new maid came to the house and took over Sister Juan's job and bed.
From then on, Sister Juan’s traces in the Yun family were completely erased and gradually forgotten by everyone.
