Su Li and Feng Huaijin were still thinking, when Xu Xing rushed in, panic-stricken. Feng Huaijin, supporting Su Li, carefully came down from the stairs, frowned lightly, and asked, "Why did you come back?"
Xu Xing nearly exploded, exclaiming, "I went back to Cloud Mist Mountain last night to get the medicine, and the Winter Love Grass is completely gone! I have no idea what’s happened. Was it stolen by mountain rats or what?"
Su Li felt a dizzy spell upon hearing those words.
What?
Gone... gone?
She had been in good spirits recently, though worried whether the medicine might affect the little girl in her belly, but her own health was more important, so she had been looking forward to the medicine Xu Xing was preparing.
And now... there was a mishap!
The most crucial herb, gone?
Feng Huaijin gently held Su Li’s waist, steadying her, his gaze towards Xu Xing instantly cooled and became intense, "What exactly is going on?"
Xu Xing, intimidated by Feng Huaijin’s chilling gaze, instinctively retreated a step, swallowed hard, and said in anguish, "How would I know? I opened the medicine drawer when I went back and it was gone! If it’s not mountain rats, then it must be human interference. But who on Cloud Mist Mountain would harm Su Li?"
Uncle Mo Yu placed Su Li second in his heart, breaking rules repeatedly for her. He worked to make the Chu Family wealthy, descended the mountain directly to help her. How could it be Mo Yu?
As for others? From Mo Si Huang to Ji Xuewei, who doesn’t treat her like the precious darling of the group? They give her anything she wants! Even Lin Moli, who was still in M Country looking at gold mines, once gave Su Li the invaluable Heart of the Ocean to play with as a marble.
Su Li’s throat became dry, "Could it really be... mountain rats?"
Could her luck really be so bad?
Stumbling upon mountain rats stealing the herb?
Su Li’s hands started trembling uncontrollably, she instinctively tightened her grip on Feng Huaijin’s arm, her vacant eyes turning towards the direction of Xu Xing’s voice, softly asking, "S-second senior brother, what will happen if we don’t have this herb?"
Feng Huaijin gave an immediate stern look, Xu Xing dared not say a word.
Su Li’s voice suddenly turned sharp, "I’m asking you to speak!"
Xu Xing, frightened, retreated a step, dared not meet Feng Huaijin’s gaze, bracing himself, and said, "What... what else can happen? Without that herb, the medicine can’t be made. Without the medicine, you can only wait to go blind..."
Upon hearing that, Su Li felt dizzy, nearly passing out.
Only to wait, to go blind.
Blindness.
From then on, she would be blind.
Even if she had the chance to give birth to the little baby in her belly, she wouldn’t be able to see what the baby looked like.
Even if Tuanzi could one day come by her side, she still wouldn’t be able to see...
Unable to see what her children look like, unable to see them growing up.
And... never able to see Feng Huaijin again, never see him aging alongside her.
Thoughts frantically surged through Su Li’s mind, her already pale complexion turning even paler.
Hands and feet icy cold, devoid of warmth.
Why is this happening to her?
Feng Huaijin picked up Su Li, placed her on the sofa, swept a cold glance at Xu Xing, held Su Li’s hand, and said with a deep, powerful voice, "Don’t worry or be afraid, I will make sure your eyes recover, I promise."
