"Clang!"
Kara!
Crash!
The mirror shattered instantly upon impact, and shards of glass flew onto Pei Minghan's body and face, but he felt nothing. He even stood barefoot on the broken glass, frantically and numbly sweeping everything off the sink onto the floor.
Madam Pei arrived quickly.
"Bang bang bang!"
A knocking sound came from outside the bedroom, accompanied by Madam Pei's heart-wrenching scream.
"Minghan! Minghan, what's wrong? Open the door, Minghan!"
There wasn't a sound in the room, as if no one had ever been there.
The deathly silence made Madam Pei's heart pound wildly. She frantically pounded on the door, and finally, with the help of the arriving butler, she broke it open.
"You all wait outside! Nobody is allowed to come in!"
Before entering, Madam Pei seemed to have thought of something and loudly warned the butler and servants outside the door.
These people looked at each other, not understanding the reason, but they stopped in their tracks and silently took a few steps back, and even helped Madam Pei close the door.
Madam Pei searched Pei Minghan's room but did not find him.
It wasn't until she heard a faint sound coming from the bathroom that Doctor Pei panicked and ran into the bathroom.
"Minghan! Ming..."
Madam Pei pushed open the half-closed bathroom door and was shocked to see Pei Minghan sitting on the cold bathroom floor tiles.
Pei Minghan curled up in the gap between the toilet and the sink, hugging her legs with her hands and burying her head between her legs. Her exposed skin was covered with small cuts from the glass shards, and her body and the floor were covered in blood.
Madam Pei covered her mouth, staring in astonishment and fear at the blood-red mess on the ground, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
The overhead lights shone down, and the shards of glass on the ground reflected a blinding light, almost glaringly.
“Minghan…”
Madam Pei finally snapped out of her shock, quickly stepped into the bathroom, squatted down next to Pei Minghan, and tried to pull Pei Minghan up from the ground.
"Minghan, what's wrong? What happened to you? Get up, get up quickly..."
But Pei Minghan was, after all, a tall man of 180cm and weighing over 160 pounds. There was no way that Madam Pei, a middle-aged woman, could pull him up from the ground.
Madam Pei's face was covered in tears. She looked down at the shards of glass in her palm, many of which were embedded in her hand. But at this moment, Madam Pei could no longer care about the pain. She just held Pei Minghan's arm with red eyes.
"Minghan, what's wrong with you? Mommy's here. Tell Mommy what's wrong, okay? Minghan!"
Finally, amidst Madam Pei's desperate cries, Pei Minghan slowly raised his head, his haggard and weary face filled with pain and helplessness.
He cried in a hoarse voice, then rushed over and hugged Madam Pei tightly.
"Mom! What should I do! I don't want to live anymore, I really don't want to live anymore!"
Madam Pei looked down at Pei Minghan, who was sobbing uncontrollably in her arms. Tears welled up in her eyes, and large drops of tears fell, hitting Pei Minghan's collar and sliding down his spine from the back of his neck.
She reached out and stroked Pei Minghan's head gently, her voice hoarse and choked with sobs.
"Minghan, don't give up, there must be a way! We will definitely find a way. No matter what, Mom will bring that miracle doctor over for you, by any means necessary!"
A resolute light surged in Madam Pei's eyes.
She stared intently ahead, her gaze fixed on a point in the void, as if she could see something within that point.
She patted Pei Minghan repeatedly, speaking to him firmly as if making a promise to herself.
"Mom will definitely find the Immortal Healer and cure you!"
Pei Minghan sobbed softly like a helpless child. He raised his head, looked at Madam Pei with great grievance, and asked in a low voice.
"But didn't that healer already refuse?"
He already knows.
He overheard it by chance when Madam Pei made a phone call that day.
Madam Pei gritted her teeth, tried her best to smile at Pei Minghan, and whispered words of comfort to her.
"Don't worry, those doctors are all just after money. I've heard of this 'Medical Immortal.' Although her medical skills are excellent, her medical ethics are questionable. It's said that she always likes to use this method to set high prices and squeeze a lot of money out of the patients' families. I think that's why she did this this time."
Seeing Madam Pei's resolute words, Pei Minghan thought for a moment and finally nodded slightly.
He said this as if to comfort himself.
"Mom, you're right. The other party is just a doctor. If one hundred million can't be hired, then two hundred million will do. If two hundred million can't be hired, then one billion will do. Compared with the future assets of the Pei family, this amount of money is small. If he wants to, just give it to him!"
Seeing that Pei Minghan seemed to have broken free from that endless self-loathing, Madam Pei breathed a sigh of relief and continued to coax him.
"You're covered in injuries right now, shall I have a doctor come and clean your wounds?"
Pei Minghan looked down at her current appearance.
He had smashed the mirror in his anger, and his arms and feet were the most seriously injured. He lowered his eyes slightly but did not agree immediately, remaining silent.
Madam Pei immediately understood Pei Minghan's meaning and whispered to him.
"Don't worry, the family doctor is one of us, he would never tell anyone about your situation. Besides, it's just a simple wound cleaning, he won't examine any other parts of your body, so he couldn't possibly know anything."
Pei Minghan reluctantly agreed.
It took Madam Pei a lot of effort to help Pei Minghan up from the ground. Seeing the broken glass all over the floor, she immediately gave Pei Minghan a pair of slippers while muttering curses under her breath.
"It's all that bitch Ye Ningwan's fault! If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be in this state now! She's riding on Pei Fengzhi's coattails to rise to the top, you bitch! Although I can't touch her now, I'll definitely deal with her sooner or later and get revenge for you!"
Pei Minghan listened to Madam Pei's grumbling and cursing, but kept a sullen face and didn't say anything.
Only after the family doctor had cleaned all of Pei Minghan's wounds and left did Pei Minghan speak to Madam Pei.
"Mom, I want Ye Ningwan."
Just moments before, Madam Pei was scolding Ye Ningwan when she heard Pei Minghan's words. The words that were on the tip of her tongue suddenly got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't swallow them or spit them out. She almost choked to death.
Madam Pei clutched her chest, nearly unable to catch her breath.
