Chapter 244: Suspicion

The lively atmosphere froze when Mo Zheng said that. Jiang Yao was very worried about her son. They had used all kind of methods to stabilize Mo Zheng’s emotions, telling him that the issues with his legs could be cured but Mo Zheng couldn’t get over that mental hurdle and it exacerbated his physical condition. Jiang Yao’s heart shook with pain.

Seeing this, Qiao Qing ran to the fridge and took out a piece of jelly. “Brother Zheng, you should have a bite of this! The jelly doesn’t have much of a taste, it should help suppress the nausea brought on by seaweed. Mo Li hasn’t been home for too long, she isn’t familiar with Brother Zheng’s physical condition. She doesn’t know that Brother Zheng could only eat these light food or else you would throw up… I made these jellies myself so they’re definitely hygienic.”

Mo Zheng smiled gratefully as Qiao Qing handed him the jelly. If not for Qiao Qing, he would starve to death already.

“These things are cold and they lack nutrition. Ol’ Three, you better try to eat some real food!” Mo Yun frowned when he saw Qiao Qing hand Ol’ Three the jellies. He knew that eating these cold things on empty stomach would not be good on the digestive system. Finally Mo Li had made something that Ol’ Three could have a few bites off but Qiao Qing immediately swooped in to try to make Ol’ Three continue to survive on her jellies.

Furthermore, Mo Yun heard the double-meaning in Qiao Qing’s words. She sounded like she cared about Ol’ Three but at the same time, she was accusing Mo Li of not caring about Mo Zheng.

When Mo Yun said that, Qiao Qing quickly shrunk her hands back. Her jellies dropped into Mo Zheng’s soup bowl.

“Brother!” Mo Zheng saw Qiao Qing’s eyes start to mist and he turned angrily to Mo Yun.

Qiao Qing realized that of all the members of the Mo Family, Mo Yun seemed to be the most hostile towards her. Every time he looked at her, it was like he could see through her every lie.

“It’s okay to eat some jellies but you have to balance it out with some noodles. You need to have enough protein in your body to face the impending surgery.” Mo Li who had been quiet suddenly spoke. Everyone latched onto the last sentence she said.

“Li Li, what did you just say? Surgery?” Jiang Yao’s voice was shaking. “Who told you there was surgery for your third brother’s leg? Was it Doctor Lu Xuan or someone you knew from Sacred Heart?!”

Mo Zheng looked at her with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Mo Li turned to Mo Yi and Jiang Yao, “Mother, father, didn’t you say you’ve found a famous doctor from overseas? Lu Xuan has promised to cooperate with them so with their help, third brother will be fine.”

So that’s what she meant… Mo Zheng sighed. At the end of the day, she’s still a child, she’s too naive. Mom and dad did say those things but I know they were just trying to comfort me.

Mo Yun looked at Mo Li with interest like he knew there was something up her sleeve.

…

When Mo Li was alone in her study, Mo Yun pushed open the door and walked in. “You plan to personally perform the surgery on Ol’ Three?”

Mo Li raised her head and looked at Mo Yun innocently, as if she did not know what he was talking about.

“With your medical skills, I think it’s entirely possible.”

Mo Li looked at Mo Yun. I wonder if he’s testing me.

“I don’t care who you are but I will leave my little brother in your hands. As long as you don’t harm my family, you’ll always be my little sister.” Mo Yun spoke plainly. He felt that Mo Li had changed… It was like her soul had been swapped. Initially Mo Yun had some difficulty accepting that but if her sister had turned out for the better, wasn’t that a good thing?

Surprised by Mo Yun’s astuteness, Mo Li smiled. “Big brother, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I merely know that I can’t waste away my life anymore and I plan to achieve many goals.”

Mo Yun sighed. If this ‘Mo Li’ could help Ol’ Three, he’d be very happy.

“But are you really confident that you can cure Mo Zheng’s legs?”

Honestly, Mo Li wasn’t sure either but she knew giving it a try was better than giving up.

“If I say I am 80 percent confident, would you allow me to perform the surgery?”

Before Mo Yun could answer, Mo Li stood up and left the study.
