Chapter 764: Unt.i.tled
Chu Li, after staying in the Su mansion for a week, had to return to London too. During that time, Ye Wei underwent an operation, and she was in very sharp pain for the days that followed. Despite being jabbed with painkillers, the pain only subsided after three to four days. In those days, she was exceptionally volatile, and she only became slightly cooler after Rong Yan cajoled her with many desserts she made.
They had left London for long enough, and it was time to return to settle some matters. If it were some other matters, Black J and Jason could actually stand in for him. Since some matters cropped up with Fang Ying, it was hence not appropriate for them to see to it. Thus, Chu Li had to rush back to London to see to it.
Rong Yan disliked Fang Ying and originally did not want to return to London with him since she was an eyesore. As she miscarried because of Fang Ying, she took extreme care in this pregnancy since she had no idea what could happen given that Fang Ying was in the shadows.
Chu Li could not remain by her side 24/7. Since her tiny repertoire of skills was no comparison to Fang Ying’s skills, she was no match for Fang Ying, and she did not want her child to encounter a mishap.
Since she was not leaving, Chu Li would not leave either. Ye Wei tried to convince Chu Li to allow Rong Yan to remain several times because it would be easier for her to tend to her child since Bai Ye and Su Man were present. However, Chu Li was very insistent on Rong Yan leaving with him.
Both of them were stubborn and walked the talk. She would not leave when she said she would not. Chu Li, knowing that she had an emotional knot, wanted to completely settle everything once and for all and force Fang Ying to leave the Top Terrorist Organization. Rong Yan, however, got into a tiff with him, and Rong Yan never yielded to him despite him trying to convince her for days. Perhaps, Fang Ying inflicted trauma on Rong Yan in her previous pregnancy, and she hence decided to remain at the Su mansion.
After an argument, Chu Li eventually returned to London whilst Rong Yan remained at the Su mansion.
After Chu Li left, either of the Mo brothers had to return to the Mafia’s headquarters to take over the situation. Since Ye Wei was undergoing frequent operations in this period of time, Mo Jue, despite their advice, was unwilling to return to shut the old men up. There was no room for negotiation.
Eleven was about to undergo her detoxification, so Mo Ye also did not want to leave. The Mo brothers s.h.i.+rked responsibility off each other, and neither of them was willing to leave and thus decided to ‘work remotely’. Daddy Mo, who could not stand it, really wished to kick them out. Thanks to them, Su Ruyu was distracted and paid less attention to him. Daddy Mo was clearly salty.
While the days pa.s.sed happily, Ye Wei’s second operation was more problematic. Her entire leg, due to the complications from the operation, became swollen post-operation. The pain was so terrible, and Su Ruyu’s medicine that was injected into Ye Wei caused her fracture site to become exceptionally itchy to the point Ye Wei became much more irritable and volatile. The agony from not being able to alleviate it caused Mo Jue and her to have sleepless nights.
It was after another week that the pain and irritation subsided. Ye Wei had endured it painfully, and Mo Jue’s heart was aching very badly because he could not endure her pain on her behalf. When Ye Wei had her second operation, Eleven was being injected with the detoxification agent for the first time. Since she had to undergo treatment in isolation, Su Ruyu deliberately had Su Man build a special gla.s.s house that was like the gla.s.s house that Mo Ye imprisoned Eleven in back then. Despite her strength, Eleven would not be able to shatter the gla.s.s house.
She would be wholly treated in isolation as n.o.body else, except Su Ruyu and Su Man, would be able to approach her, Mo Ye included.
A month later…
As Eleven’s first course of treatment came to a close, she had become much thinner and lost much hair. Her skin had lost much l.u.s.ter and moisture, becoming as wrinkled as that of an old woman. There were many injuries on her wrist, and one could tell that Su Ruyu had forcefully bound her so that she would not hurt herself.
Eleven seemed exceptionally terrifying and remained in her room the whole day. She refused to share the room with Mo Ye, and she quietly endured this suffering by herself most of the time.
When she saw her ugly self in the mirror, she felt… terrible!
She had no idea what she would look like after half a year.
Mo Ye was thinking of ways to approach Eleven, but Eleven rebuffed him all the time. She only wanted to see Ye Wei, Su Ruyu, and Su Man. Mo Ye did not know how Su Ruyu and Su Man treated her, but he felt that Eleven kept to herself a lot more.
“You’re actually not that terribly-looking.” Ye Wei comforted her. While her face had many more wrinkles as though she had aged, she was still a beautiful old woman. As for her hair, Old Witch said that it would eventually regrow.
Eleven remained silent. Although Su Ruyu and Su Man had to record how Eleven’s body was every day, Eleven also did not really want to see them. Save Ye Wei, the others did not hear her.
“When would you be able to walk?” she asked worryingly.
“There’s still one more month and another operation. Once that operation is done, I’ll be able to walk but can’t run or hop. Running and hopping would be half a year of rehab away,” Ye Wei said. “While I find this tough to bear, I know that I have it easier than you.”
She had become much less volatile than before and was hence much more fortunate than Eleven. As she applied medicine, she blew on it as she was worried that she would hurt.
“Well… Big Boss Mo has been watching over you for three days already. You really do not want to see him?”
“I’ll not see him!”
“That’s a little overkill, isn’t it? You’ll be like this in thirty to forty years’ time anyway.”
Eleven stared at Ye Wei, and Ye Wei gestured for Eleven to keep quiet.
She did not want to see Mo Ye not because of her looks but because of the complicated emotions that ran through her. “Wei Wei, I’m recalling those days again, and it’s stirring up my hatred for him…”
There were times her immense pain would drag her into the nightmare she was in.
The gla.s.s house triggered the memories of that terrifying moment in her life. Like a broken record, the nightmare kept playing a trick on her mind.
She did not want to hate Mo Ye. She thought she had forgotten everything. But as she underwent treatment, she recalled everything once again, and the agony she went through was worse than before. It was even more unbearable…
She was afraid that seeing him would plunge her into the darkness once again, causing her to hurt him in that spur of the moment.
“All’s good. Hate him, just hate him. Heck, you shouldn’t have forgiven him so quickly.” Ye Wei did not dare to provoke her and thus went along with her words. “Hang him out to dry. He deserves it.”
Eleven clutched her head in agony.
“Okay, okay. Stop thinking about it. I promise not to bring him up again. Let’s focus on getting through these days, okay? Be good. I’ll apply the medicine on you.” Ye Wei rolled up Eleven’s trousers and applied medicine on her legs. Su Ruyu probably had Eleven bound up in chains. Some of the wounds were so deep that bone could be seen. Eleven was afraid that she would not be able to endure these days, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Eleven turned and looked at the scissors aside, and then at her dried-up hair. “Wei Wei, could you help me cut off my hair?”
