227 Ch. 227 Anxia’s Parents

“You’re right. I brought you here on purpose because I wanted something.”

Somehow Anxia still felt surprised to hear the confirmation answer from her mother. She had suspected that her mother had an ulterior motive for bringing her here, but she had no idea that her suspicions were correct.

“Would you like to help me?”

“Let’s hear it first.” Neither did Anxia agree or refuse it—she was curious about what her mother wanted her to do.

“Have you ever heard of Hawkeye?”

“No. What about it?”

“Hawkeye is a program which all dark hunters are most coveted.”

Dark hunters? This was also the first time Anxia had heard this term.

“If someone has Hawkeye, that person can see the world without lifting his finger, and that person can change the world economy as easily as turning a palm. And also, most importantly, that person can make all the people he hates live miserable in this world.”

.....

“I don’t understand. Why can an ordinary program change the world economy or make people’s lives miserable? Isn’t this unreasonable?”

“Xiao Xia, you haven’t joined the underworld for a long time. Naturally, you know nothing about the most update news. If your friend hadn’t died, maybe it would be different.”

“My friend?”

“The friend who always accompanies you, what’s her name? Li Mei? Ling Ling?”

“..” Anxia knew whom her mother talked about. “It looks like you’ve not only been watching over Lori these past five years, but you’ve been watching me too?”

“You could say that.”

“Since when?”

“What?” Loraine Shu pretended not to understand what her daughter was asking even though she already knew what answer Anxia wanted.

“Since when did you watch over me?” Anxia clarified her question with an even tone but cold eyes.

“Who knows,” replied the mother indifferently and did not seem to care or be afraid of her daughter’s gaze. “Perhaps since you were with master Yu?”

Anxia’s hands clenched upon hearing this. “So... you already know master Yu captured me, yet you did nothing?”

“Xiao Xia, don’t misunderstand me. I already knew you were in master Yu’s hands, but at that time, I couldn’t do anything about it. I had no power and was alone. So I was forced to let him take you and train you. Now, I have the power I desire; that’s why I was able to bring you here.”

“Who are you?”

“I am your mother.” That was the short answer given by the mother in an extraordinarily casual tone. “Xiao Xia, don’t you want to meet your father?”

“..” This woman shifted their conversation. Noted Anxia.

There was something that this woman was hiding; Anxia was very sure of it. “Okay. Where is he?”

Loraine Shu smiled broadly, then extended a hand towards her. “Come on, follow me. We’re going to visit your father.”

Anxia glanced at her mother’s open palm and put her hand down hesitantly.

Cold. It was uncomfortably cold. As Anxia recalled, her mother’s hand felt warm and soothed her restless heart. But her mother’s hand was cold this time, and she felt like a stranger.

Is.. her mother not her old mother anymore? Has she lost her warm and gentle mother? Even though Anxia didn’t like the touch of her mother’s skin, she still didn’t resist and let her mother hold her hand.

The two walked towards a room where a distinct medicinal smell assaulted his nostrils.

As soon as the bedroom door was opened, Anxia’s eyes filled with tears when she saw a skinny and helpless man lying down, filled with various kinds of aids.

Without waiting for her mother’s explanation, Anxia broke away from her mother’s hand and walked over to her father’s bed. She had seen another woman standing at her father’s bedside, but she didn’t care. All she cared about was she wanted to see her father.

On her own initiative, Anxia held her father’s hand gently, and suddenly her heart felt like crying.

Her father’s hand was as skinny as bone and its weight as light as a feather. Anxia had to restrain her power not to break her father’s hand bones.

historical

‘Dad, what happened to you?’ Anxia’s heart screamed to see how helpless her prideful father was now.

“What happened? I heard he died in prison, and you committed suicide in a mental hospital.” Anxia’s heart seemed to be sliced ??seeing her father’s condition, so she accidentally lowered her defenses and asked her mother.

“Mr. Wong’s men beat up your father to death and almost died in there. If not for someone managed to save him and get him out of jail, I’m afraid I would lose him too. However, your father has been hit in the head so many times that he has a severe concussion. Since then, your father has been in a coma until this second. When it comes to me killing myself.. it was because of her help.” Loraine glanced at the woman who had accompanied her husband, making Anxia pay close attention to the foreign woman.

“She is..”

“She was my old school friend. She visited me as soon as she found out I was in a mental hospital, and I convinced her I wasn’t sick, and we planned an escape together. You could say she was my savior. Isn’t that so, Jamie?”

The foreign woman named Jamie only gave a faint smile and then looked at Anxia gently... it felt as if... Jamie was her mother, instead of Loraine Shu, who looked at Anxia as if she was only a tool to get what Loraine wanted.

“Ah, I almost forgot. She can’t talk, so you have to communicate with her through hand language or wait for her to write something down if she wants to talk to you.”

Once again, Anxia glanced at Jamie and investigated her from head to toe. Somehow she did not like this woman, and it wasn’t that this woman had saved her mother but that she felt that the other woman cared too much for her father.

Jamie seemed far more concerned about her father’s condition than Loraine, who relaxed despite watching her husband lie unconscious for years.

“Then why is she here? Why is she in my dad’s room?”

Anxia, ??who has sharp hearing, heard Jamie’s gasp of surprise as if his cynical tone hurt her. Of course, Anxia didn’t care because she didn’t want to see any other woman besides her father. Even though she didn’t feel comfortable with her mother at the moment, Anxia believed that she would love her mother again with time.

“Xiao Xia, I am the leader here, and I have many things to take care of. I don’t have time to take care of your dying father. That’s why I asked her to look after your father while I was busy. After all, she is also willing to help me in exchange for me giving her my home and protection.”

“But.. Never mind. From now on, I will accompany him here. So I don’t need her.”

“No. I have a task for you rather than watching you idle here.”

Anxia’s brow furrowed at this. So Loraine Shu wanted to use her immediately??
