Lily's crying stopped abruptly. She opened her dark eyes wide and stared blankly at Elena. A moment later, Lily jumped up happily, hugging Elena and thanking her profusely.
"Mommy, you're so good to me. Lily loves you the most," Lily said sweetly.
Some were happy, some were sad, and Elena's heart was heavy. Her son was seriously injured and unconscious, but what chilled her to the bone was that the culprit was none other than her daughter.
Both sides are equally precious. Elena couldn't bear to expose her daughter. Yet, she also suffered greatly, forced to make her youngest son endure hardship.
The road ahead is long and endless. There is no way back, no room for regret.
Elena chose Lily simply because of their long-standing and close relationship. Indeed, once comparisons are made between people, the difference in their abilities becomes immediately apparent.
One is her son whom she hasn't seen in twenty years, and the other is her daughter whom she cherishes and loves dearly. Elena, who is extremely calculating about gains and losses, surely knows which is more important.
"What are your thoughts?" Elena gritted her teeth, but her heart felt empty.
Elena was flustered and couldn't think of any good solutions, so she could only place her hopes on Lily, hoping that she could "determine the outcome with a single word".
Lily did not disappoint Elena, and said with a sly smile, "You are their biological mother. As long as you talk and cry, they will soften and listen to whatever you say."
"Is it really possible?" Elena asked uncertainly.
“Yes, that’s fine. If all else fails, you can throw a tantrum and threaten suicide, and they’ll surely surrender and obey you.” Lily nodded firmly.
After much hesitation, Elena reluctantly agreed to follow Lily's plan.
Before long, the two brothers, O'Nan Baili and O'Dong Baili, with dark complexions, appeared one after the other in front of Elena and her daughter.
Upon seeing people approaching, Elena quickly spread her arms and stood in front of Lily without hesitation.
"Mom, move aside. I don't want to hurt you." Ou Nanbaili's tone was unfriendly, showing his dissatisfaction with Ailian's siding with outsiders.
"Nan, unless you step over me, you must not lay a finger on Lily." Elena looked at Ou Dongbaili with tears in her eyes, wanting to ask her eldest son for help. "Dong, tell your brother quickly, he actually wants to hurt your sister."
Ou Dongbai took a large stride, passing Ou Nanbai. His tall and slender body stood high above, proud and imposing, like a mountain. Elena was so intimidated that she didn't dare to breathe.
Swallowing hard, Elena asked in a trembling voice, "Dong, what's wrong with you?"
Ou Dongbai gave Elena a cold look, then stretched out his arm and gripped her shoulder tightly. Showing no mercy, Ou Dongbai forcefully threw Elena onto a nearby mahogany bench.
Ignoring whether Elena was safe or not, Ou Dongbai walked step by step toward Lily.
Lily quickly stepped back, "I'm also my mother's daughter, you can't do anything to me."
"Hmph, you dare to mess with my brother? Do you think you can get away with it?"
Without warning, Ou Dongbai kicked Lily in the stomach. The force of the kick was so great that Lily flew several meters away like an arrow.
"Nan, isn't your lab a little short of test subjects? How about she?" Ou Dongbai suddenly asked, seemingly an unrelated question.
O'Nan Baili scrutinized Lily carefully. After a while, he frowned and said, "Heartless. She's still human, but she's barely passable!"
"Alright, she's in your care from now on." Ou Dongbai paused, then added, "Nan, be careful, whatever you do, don't let her die."
O'Nan Baili understood O'Dong Baili's plan: to make Lily wish she were dead. O'Nan Baili was more than happy to oblige, patting his chest and assuring O'Dong Baili that he could rest assured.
With just a few words, the two men decided on the fate of Lily, setting the stage for a miserable and arduous life for her.
After sending Lily to the laboratory, Ou Dongbaili was busy with his election campaign and traveled to the main planet overnight, while Elena and Ou Xibaili were left in the care of Ou Nanbaili.
A month later, hundreds of miles away in the East, millions of light-years away, heard the terminal brain ring.
"Brother, that woman Elena has abandoned us again." O'Nan Baili's voice was filled with despair.
Upon hearing this, Ou Dongbaili trembled. "What happened?"
The other side responded with silence. O'Nan Baili was in a state of confusion. After thinking about how to organize his thoughts, he began to tell O'Dong Baili about Elena.
It turned out that on the very day Ou Dongbai dumped Elena, Elena harbored resentment towards the three Ou brothers. She felt she couldn't bear to have such unfilial sons. And sending her own sister to a ruthless laboratory was something Elena dared not accept.
After staying obediently in O'Nambury for a while, Elena took advantage of O'Nambury's absence on a business trip and not only absconded with all the money in the O'Nambury brothers' bank account, but also sold off all kinds of real estate, stocks, antiques, etc. at low prices.
When O'Neill learned of the news and rushed back, everything was already beyond repair.
Even more seriously, due to Elena's actions, O'Nambury's company has suffered a severe blow and is now on the verge of bankruptcy.
"Waaaaah... Brother, we're broke now." With the company he had built from scratch gone, Ou Nanbai couldn't help but cry to Ou Dongbai.
Ou Dongbaili empathized with Ou Nanbaili and comforted him gently.
After a long while, Ou Nanbai asked with difficulty, "Brother, do you have any money left? Xi's medical bills are due again."
"No," Ou Dongbaili said weakly.
