Chapter 162 Scene 27 That was the woman I most desired to be...
"Ding Dong! It's been detected that you have reached the exploration and intimacy level of Ji Xiaogao's family!"
"Event: Black Heart, Triggered!!!"
What...? Nothing has happened yet, so how could the conditions suddenly be met?!
"Hurry, hurry, the cat over here is having a heart attack, get ready for surgery!" Ji Xiaogao's aunt rushed in from outside the observation room.
She was followed by several people in white coats, probably employees of the pet hospital.
Ji Xiaogao stepped aside, and the others quickly and orderly carried the white cat that had suffered a heart attack out.
"That cat, that cat, how could it have a heart attack...?" Ji Xiaogao slumped down beside He Yuezhe, muttering, "Didn't it have a physical examination and be found to be fine...?"
Ji Xiaogao is very smart. After hearing these words, He Yuezhe thought that she might also know the answer.
Last night, an uninvited guest came to the pet hospital.
Cats have very good night vision, but the man wrapped himself very tightly, so He Yuezhe only saw that the man injected something into the cat living in the room next to her, and knew nothing else.
As for why you didn't call out...
"No, no, there must be something wrong!" Ji Xiaogao stood up and hurried out. "The operation cannot continue—"
"Why didn't you continue the operation? That's a living being. As doctors, you just watched it suffer and die. Do you still have a conscience?!!!!"
"Please calm down first. We don't want to see this happen, but the cat is really not right..."
"What's wrong?! Ah, let me ask you, what's wrong?!!"
"Look, this is the cat's physical examination report from the day she came to the hospital. It shows that all of her vital signs are normal."
"so what?!"
"Also, when we were cleaning up the surveillance footage, we discovered that you had come into the store last night and even entered the observation room."
"You!? Stop spitting insults at me. Why would I come to your store?!"
"What about this needle? How are you going to explain it?!"
The black cat was held by Ji Xiaogao and came out of the observation room.
"What syringe? I don't even know what it is!" The man leading the group at the hospital entrance, a cigarette dangling from his lips and wearing leather shoes, shouted angrily, "You guys just want to shirk your responsibility, right?!"
"Besides, you can find these kinds of syringes anywhere in the hospital. What does this have to do with me?!"
"Xiao Gao..." Ji Xiaogao's aunt held her forehead and called out worriedly.
"Aunt, it's okay. There are surveillance cameras here. Even if they want to do something, we have evidence!" Ji Xiaogao nodded at his aunt.
The black cat jumped out of her arms and jumped to the dead cat nearby.
Ji Xiaogao took a few steps forward, standing in front of his aunt, and shouted at the man, "We have surveillance cameras, physical evidence, and witnesses. If you continue to cause trouble like this, we'll go to the police station together!"
"You, are you crazy?!" the man yelled in disbelief. "You killed my cat, and now you want to sue me for causing trouble?!!"
"We didn't kill your cat, you killed your cat!" Ji Xiaogao said righteously, "Now, please calm down. No matter what, when the police come, you can say whatever you want—"
"Bang!!!"
"You lunatic, give me my cat back!!!"
The man's fist hit the door, and the glass door shattered to the ground.
"What makes you think that person in the surveillance video is me? I love my cat so much, how could I do such a thing?!!"
"Sir, please calm down! If you have any questions, tell the police. If it's really not you, we will handle this matter fairly and return your money!"
"Are you starting to say these nice things now?!!"
"Xiao Gao, forget it, let them go. Don't let the police come. We can't afford to offend them."
"Aunt! Even if we don't pursue this matter, someone who could sneak into the hospital late at night should be thoroughly investigated, otherwise..."
"Xiao Gao, listen to me this time! Go to the flower market and find a cat that looks similar. Then just say you made a mistake and let this matter go. We really can't afford to offend them."
"Auntie, how could you say such a thing? That's a life. Are we going to let it die for no reason like this...?"
While Ji Xiaogao and his aunt were talking, the man at the door folded his arms across his chest and sat down on the bench beside the door.
"Hmph, speak up! What's wrong? Are you feeling guilty? Didn't you say you'd treat them fairly? Fine, then wait for the police to come and show us what kind of black-hearted veterinary hospital you are, claiming to have excellent medical skills and love cats!!!"
…
…
"Xiao Hei, you are so brave."
"Meow."
"I originally thought that you would take this opportunity to run away."
"Meow……"
"Xiao Hei, you live with that cat. Did you see who gave it the shot?"
“…”
"You saw it, didn't you?"
“…”
"Actually, that needle was really injected by that man, right...?"
“…”
Ji Xiaogao, you already know the answer, so why are you asking me?
The black cat lay in the cat bag, quiet and without response.
The gentle sunlight shines through the gauze, onto the black cat, grid by grid, like a net, a dragnet, catching it.
"Ding Dong! It's detected that your intimacy with Ji Xiaogao's family has dropped below the required level!"
"Ding Dong! Event detected: Black Heart has been triggered! Once the event is triggered, it is irreversible, irreversible, irreversible!!!"
"My aunt is very rich," Ji Xiaogao said, "and very smart."
"She started working on her own when she was a teenager. From washing dishes to sweeping floors and moving bricks, she has done many jobs, met many people, and experienced many things."
"On the day my mother passed away, in the hospital, I saw for the first time this aunt whom my mother had never spoken of."
"Her clothes were soft, her face was made up, she had manicures, and her hair was curled. That was the woman I had always wanted to be."
"That day, she didn't cry, but just brought some gifts to my mother."
"Later, I saw her crying secretly in the hospital bathroom."
"She told me that my mother didn't like her, so she wouldn't show her vulnerable side to her. She asked me to tell my mother not to think about her crying for her anymore."
“…”
“…”
"So this sentence naturally became the beginning of my family with her."
"My mother had no other relatives, so my aunt had no choice but to take me in."
"At first, she hated me because I looked like my mother. But of course, she was my mother's sister, and we looked a lot like her."
"So after a while, she put away her nastiness, which I call 'the claws she used to warn against strangers.'"
"You know, I'm a very enthusiastic person. I want to make this woman who is always in a state of burnout outside of working hours happy."
"But, but, she told me that she just doesn't want to take medicine anymore."
"That's when I realized she didn't run away from home because she didn't want to go to school. She just didn't want her family to spend money on her anymore."
“…”
“…”
"She was nice to everyone: me, her employees, friends, even strangers. But she was not nice to herself."
"She stayed up late, smoked, drank, and didn't eat on time. She got sick a lot and often had stomachaches, but she refused to take any medicine."
"This is a woman who can do everything. She can rescue animals, install electrical wires, do manicures, and grow crops."
“She’s like a really, really great…”
"Hey, I just don't understand why it has become like this?"
Ji Xiaogao's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Why, why would she do such a thing?"
"Obviously, obviously she's not that kind of person. Obviously, like the owners of those pets, she also desperately hopes that they can get better soon..."
"Meow."
"Xiao Hei, thank you for accompanying me on this trip."
"Xiao Gao, why are you back? Where's the cat?"
"Aunt."
Ji Xiaogao hugged the woman with a sad face.
"It's settled."
"Wait, what did you say..."
But was pushed away.
"I returned the money to them. I know they had nothing to do with the cat's death."
"Xiao Gao..."
"Auntie, don't do such a stupid thing."
"You know everything."
"Um."
“…”
"Aunt, why did you do that?"
“…”
"Aunt, didn't you tell me that the most important thing for a doctor is to have—"
"Ji Xiaogao, why do you think I took you in?"
"I, I don't know either..."
"Because I have no choice."
“…”
"Actually, I'm not what you think I am. I'm just a selfish person who can abandon morality for money."
“…”
"To put it bluntly, you being here is just a burden to me."
"Aunt, I..."
"Tomorrow is your eighteenth birthday. Take this money and go."
"Aunt, what do you mean?"
"Go, don't you understand?"
"But, but I can still help out in the store!"
"Ji Xiaogao! Don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to leave, so just leave obediently!"
"Do you really think you're needed here? You're so clumsy and your brain isn't working. You're only making things worse every time you're here!!"
"I, I didn't!"
"Ji Xiaogao, I hate your mother and I hate you too, because you are both hypocritical."
"Auntie, I have always cared about you sincerely!"
"Oh, that's enough. I don't want to argue with you. Let's go quickly. While it's still early, buy a ticket and go as far as possible."
"Aunt, I, I really can't stay here?"
"right."
"Okay, if you're so cruel, I'll leave. You can keep the money. I don't want your money!!"
"Well, that's best."
He Yuezhe was in the cat bag and was carried down the stairs by Ji Xiaogao.
Sobbing, footsteps, and the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
She saw the woman in thin clothes and with a plain face standing at the stairs.
Broken glass lay at her feet, and the bandages on her wrists were stained with blood.
She didn't laugh or cry, like an emotionless mannequin.
Are you so sure that Ji Xiaogao won't look back?
You just...
Are you seeking death?
