Chapter 118: Madness

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The homeless woman cried for a long time before Ling Xuewei opened her mouth stiffly and hesitantly.

“Are you… really my mother?”

The homeless woman cried, “Of course I am!”

As she spoke, she pointed at the pendant on Ling Xuewei's chest and told her the time and place of their separation.

“Elm Village, on the 29th night of the twelfth lunar month, right?”

Ling Xuewei's mind buzzed, and all her doubts were instantly shattered.

She hugged the homeless girl tightly and finally called out the name she had suppressed for 20 years.

“Mom! !”

“Xiaoxue! !”

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

The security guard and assistant Wang by the side all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

The security guard was secretly glad that he did not use violence just now, or else he would have lost his job.

Assistant Wang seemed to have been struck by lightning, and it took him a long time to regain his senses.

Lin Bai's previous warning was completely thrown to the back of his mind.

He rushed to Ling Xuewei's side and forcefully separated the mother and daughter.

“CEO Ling, wake up. Don't be deceived!”

Ling Xuewei pushed him away. “Don't mind it.”

Then, she held the homeless woman's hand and asked in tears, “Mom, how have you been living all these years?”

“How did you become like this?”

The homeless woman burst into tears.

“It's a long story!”

At this moment, a car on the road at the entrance suddenly lost control and rushed straight toward the street lamp.

“Bang!”

The loud crash seemed to stimulate a certain fragile nerve in the homeless woman's mind, bringing up a painful and terrifying memory hidden in the bottom of her heart.

She trembled violently, then quickly turned around and protected Ling Xuewei behind her.

She stared at the air in front of her, her expression was filled with fear and despair as if there was a terrifying monster hiding in the air.

“Don't hit Xue! Please, if you want to hit me, then hit me, don't hit Xue!”

The woman protected Ling Xuewei as she continuously retreated, continuously begging.

She was so scared that her entire body was trembling violently.

It was as if a pair of fists in the void could hit her at any time.

Ling Xuewei was confused by the sudden change. She followed the woman's line of sight, but there was nothing there except for the air.

She didn't understand what her mother was afraid of.

“Mom, what's wrong? Mom?”

“Who are you talking to?”

The homeless woman turned her head with a trembling hand and gestured for her to keep quiet.

“Shh, Don't talk. Run.”

Then, she suddenly pounced forward as if she had caught something. She kowtowed and begged.

“Xue is really your daughter. Believe me! I didn't cheat on you. I really didn't!”

“Hit me if you want! Don't hit Xue! She's your biological daughter!”

Ling Xuewei felt as if she had been electrocuted as she recalled that terrifying memory.

It was the same back then.

Her father had overheard some gossip outside, and when he returned, he scolded her for being Shameless. He said that she was a bastard and that he wanted to kill both of them.

Her mother had done the same thing back then. She had protected her tightly behind her back and begged her father not to hit her.

However, her father did not listen and continued to hit her mother with a hook until her skin was cut and her face was covered in blood.

Later, her father also wanted to hit her but her mother desperately held his leg to prevent him from getting close to her and was kicked away by his father.

Then, her father grabbed her hair and hit her head against the edge of the stove again and again, calling her a bastard child.

After that, she didn't remember anything.

She didn't remember at all.

It was as if the brain had some kind of self-protection mechanism, deliberately blocking out that terrifying experience.

It wasn't until her mother went crazy in front of her that the terrifying scene of the past was replayed.

Only then was this sealed-up memory awakened. She remembered that she had once suffered such a terrible injury.

She had almost lost her life.

Ling Xuewei instantly understood why her mother had become like this and why she had done such a thing.

She couldn't care less and immediately rushed to her mother's side. She hugged her tightly and shouted, “Mom! Don't be afraid! That bastard isn't here! No one can hit you anymore! Mom! I've grown up! I can protect you now! No one can hurt us anymore!”

Again and again, she shouted until she was hoarse.

The grievance and hatred that she had suppressed for twenty years all burst out at this moment, turning into a hoarse shout.

Ignoring the looks and ridicule of others, Ling Xuewei only wanted to let her mother know that no one could hurt them anymore.

However, her mother was still immersed in a terrifying illusion. No matter how much she shouted, she could not wake her up.

She was so delirious that she could not even tell who was holding her.

She struggled in fear and screamed like a wild beast.

As she struggled, Ling Xuewei's arm was scratched by her, but she did not notice it.

Assistant Wang saw it and immediately went forward. He violently tried to pull the homeless woman away so that she would not continue to hurt Ling Xuewei.

Ling Xuewei shouted at him agitatedly, “Don't touch my mother!”

The woman struggled desperately and mistook Assistant Wang for her husband. She knelt down and kowtowed desperately, begging him not to hurt her daughter.

Assistant Wang was extremely embarrassed. He could only turn his head and roar at the security guard at the side:

“What are you still standing there for? Come over and help!”

Only then did the security guard brace himself to go forward and symbolically stop the woman, but he did not dare to use force with his hands.

Lin Bai sighed. He knew that he had to stop this farce.

The woman had been provoked and went crazy. He could not let her continue like this.

Thus, Lin Bai quickly stepped forward, pushed the security guard and assistant Wang away, and said, “Let me do it.”

Then, he found an acupuncture point on the back of the woman's neck and pressed it gently.

The woman immediately quieted down, and her body fell limply to the ground.

Lin Bai carefully held her and did not let her fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Ling Xuewei asked nervously, “What did you do to my mother?”

Lin Bai explained, “I just pressed the acupuncture point and let her fall into a coma for a while. There won't be any substantial damage. Don't worry.”

Only then did Ling Xuewei heave a sigh of relief.

Lin Bai said again, “She has been stimulated and her mind is a little abnormal. If you can trust me, I can give her acupuncture treatment. Perhaps she can be cured.”

This was something that Lin Bai had thought of before he came. Since Ling Xuewei's mother was mentally unsound, and he just happened to have great medical skills, he knew how to treat her.

Then, he might as well take this opportunity to help cure her mental illness, and at the same time gain a wave of Ling Xuewei's gratitude.

As for the corresponding reward, Lin Bai had already thought of it. He was at least eighty percent sure that Ling Xuewei would not be able to refuse it.

Although he was kind-hearted, he was not a saint. He would not help for free.

He would not take a single cent less of the reward that he should ask for.
