Chapter 790: Chapter 790 Compromise (3)_1

"Tie Tou, it’s all Mother’s fault, Mother shouldn’t have hit you so hard, Mother shouldn’t have threatened you with a knife, as long as you’re willing to wake up, Mother will never hit you or threaten you again, please wake up, wake up, wuu wuu—"

Hearing Wu’s cries of remorse, Mo Yan sighed deeply.

One could not blame Aunt Wu for being cruel, Tie Tou was her son, and it must have been unbearable for her to see him change like this; Brother Tie Tou was even more innocent, merely for falling in love with a girl whose status was not that respected, he had to suffer harm from his closest relatives; could one blame Liu Qingqing? No matter what one’s status is, there is no wrong in liking someone!

If one must find fault, then it could only be attributed to society’s view, which couldn’t accommodate the unequal status of the love between Tie Tou and Liu Qingqing.

Lixiu stood there staring blankly at the lifeless Tie Tou lying on the bed, their fate inadvertently stirring memories of her own dark days. Rejected and marginalized, with no way out, she was deceived and sold to a secret brothel, her status even more despised than Miss Liu’s, and had it not been for the man who gave her hope, she likely would have dashed her own life away long ago.

Yet the man who didn’t care about her past was now dead! Did a woman with a disgraceful history have to carry that heavy burden for life, forever disqualified from happiness?

Lixiu didn’t understand, but she sincerely hoped that Tie Tou could pull through. As long as one was alive, there was always hope, wasn’t there?

Tie Tou’s pulse fluctuated between strong and weak, and Mo Yan fed him two more Life-saving Pills in succession. He guessed that Tie Tou’s severe illness might have something to do with Wu’s brutal beating—the wooden stick was broken, and he might have injured his bones or muscles, and if the ribs were broken and had punctured an organ, that would be serious! However, if there really was an internal injury, it would be impossible to last a whole night. It seemed that there may be more psychological reasons involved.

If it was indeed psychological, and if the conflict between his feelings for Liu Qingqing and Wu was not properly resolved, it would be very difficult for his illness to improve.

Everyone anxiously awaited Doctor Du, but Liu Yang Village was forty li from Jing City, and even with Da HongZao running as fast as he could, it would still take two hours to make the round trip.

Tie Tou did not wake up, but thankfully, after three Life-saving Pills and Spirit Spring Water, his condition did not worsen, which provided some relief to everyone.

Less than two hours had passed when the Mo Family’s carriage appeared outside the courtyard of the Wu family. Doctor Du, refusing the support of Mo Qingze and the attendant, skillfully dismounted the carriage and quickly entered the Wu family’s courtyard, soon being ushered by Lixiu into Tie Tou’s room.

Doctor Du only took one glance at Tie Tou’s complexion and his expression darkened. He immediately sat by the bed to feel Tie Tou’s pulse.

The onlookers kept their eyes fixed on Doctor Du, none daring to speak, fearful of disturbing him. But as Doctor Du’s expression grew increasingly grave, their hearts rose up to their throats, with Wu covering her mouth, tears of regret spilling once again.

After a moment, Doctor Du withdrew his hand and spoke in a grave voice, "This child has suffered varying degrees of damage to six ribs. Although there are no fractures, it will affect him later and he will need proper rest and treatment. The most serious issue is his extreme sorrow and grief, which has damaged his heart meridian. Are you aware of the reason for this?"

In fact, based on Wu’s expression, Doctor Du had already vaguely guessed some of it, but he needed confirmation before he could prescribe the right medicine.

Full of regret, Wu cried as she explained the cause of Tie Tou’s severe injury and his subsequent vomiting of blood and unconsciousness, then, with a thud, she knelt on the ground and, bowing her head deeply, beseechingly said, "Doctor, please save my son, I beg of you..."
