Chapter 1212 - Mu Mu Is Already Dead (1/2)
North Duke had lost all power and suffered a huge blow. His complexion was bad but that didn’t hide his craftiness and greediness. He was still as vile and repulsive as ever.
As his lower body couldn’t move, he could only stretch his hands out, attempting to snatch the oxygen mask over from Feng Lingxue. “Give it to me! If I die, you’ll never know where Mu Mu is!”
“Oh,” Feng Lingxue replied, “Here.”
She handed the oxygen mask over.
North Duke was thrilled, but when he was about to take it from Feng Lingxue, she suddenly retracted.
With a thud, he lost his balance and the North Duke collapsed on the ground.
It hurt all over. “Y-You defiant child! I’m your biological father!”
Feng Lingxue took a step backward, giving North Duke a cold-eyed stare as he lay on the ground pathetically. “You weren’t concerned about me at all, you don’t deserve to be a father at all, let alone my father!”
“You…”
“You hurt my daughter and separated us forcibly. You’re my enemy!”
“You…”
Feng Lingxue raised the corners of her lips, straightening her back. “From now on, no one can ever hurt Mu Mu and I. I’ll protect myself and Mu Mu. We’ll go to a place where no one knows us and start afresh, everything will become better!”
North Duke felt breathless, he didn’t want to die just like this, he wanted to live on. “Give it to me, quick!”
Feng Lingxue stretched her arm out of the window, with the oxygen mask hanging outside. “I’m going to count to three, if I don’t get Mu Mu’s whereabouts, you… don’t need to exist in this world anymore.”
North Duke was furious, he convulsed in agitation. How dare she!
“One…”
“Two…”
When she was about to count to three, North Duke suddenly spoke up, “Hold on! I’ll let you know of Mu Mu’s whereabouts!”
Feng Lingxue’s eyes lit up with joy. Great, she was finally going to find out where Mu Mu was.
Mu Mu.
Her Mu Mu.
“Tell me now, where is Mu Mu?”
Noticing Feng Lingxue’s desperation, North Duke revealed an eerie smile. “Mu Mu is… already dead…”
Mu Mu… is already dead…
His words seared into Feng Lingxue’s mind, her pupils contracted furiously. She looked at North Duke, aghast. “No, you’re spouting nonsense!”
“Lingxue, Mu Mu wasn’t being obedient after I got my men to kidnap her. She would cry for her mommy every single day and not eat. My two underlings taking care of her got really annoyed and pulled her hair, pressing her head into a huge bucket of water. But that underling went too far and by the time they pulled Mu Mu out, Mu Mu had already….lost her breath.
“Lingxue, don’t you remember? Oh, I almost forgot. After Mu Mu died, I took you to identify the dead body. You went crazy then, the doctor diagnosed your mental illness! I locked you in a dark house. You held a pillow in your arms, calling it Mu Mu. The neighbors around all knew that a crazy woman lived inside.
“When I went to look for you in the house that day and told you that your Brother Ying appeared, you suddenly recovered your sanity, just like that. But you forgot that Mu Mu was already dead and was delusional, you believed that she was still alive and asked me over and over again about her whereabouts. Haha, you were ridiculous.
“Feng Lingxue, you’ve become insane since a long time ago. You’re a madwoman, the doctor told me that it was all because you couldn’t let things go. You’re merely being delusional, you have an issue and you’re a lunatic. You’ve been living in your hallucinations!”
Was it truly like that?
Was it truly like how he had described?
No, he had to be lying. Feng Lingxue’s pupils contracted, becoming soulless. She started pulling her own hair.
A scene flashed past in her mind. A tiny body lay on the cold ground, a ragged white cloth covering over it. She couldn’t see the face of the body, but she could see the wet hair, a layer of ice over it and dirt.
It was winter, a cold winter.
It was so cold she trembled, her teeth shuddering.
It was as though a knife had been stabbed right through her heart, twisting the knife around and it really hurt.
