Chapter 235 - Does not matter (2/2)
She was ready to get down on her knees and beg for it if Wang Ling was to command her all this time. Shameless acts like this are nothing but the byproduct of her fervent desire to heal the person that had delivered her into this world and supported her throughout her life.
Sun Yuwen, a mother who values peace more than anything else. She had showered both her daughter with love and care that she fell into despair and contracted an incurable illness after the oldest died.
When her oldest died, Sun Yuwen grieved for three months to the point that the yin qi of the world congregated to her Spirit Ocean forming the seed of Hell's Soul Flower. But despite grieving for months, she showed no pained expression to her youngest daughter who loved her fallen daughter like her.
Sun Yuwen smiled in front of Yan Renhuo and become a pillar she can rely on. When Yan Renhuo cries, Sun Yuwen smiles and comforts her not showing a bit of the sadness that is welling up in her heart.
She became a pillar that she neglected herself, she poured everything to her remaining daughter that she did not notice her body getting weaker. And by the time she noticed it, a seed from having too much yin enter her body had already borne fruit the seed of a Hell's Soul Flower.
And after that, Sun Yuwen had always been haunted by the pain of Hell's Soul Flower. Every night when the soon is at its highest and the yin qi is at its peak her soul will feel like it is being ripped apart to many pieces.
The pain was enough to cause anyone to become insane. But because Sun Yuwen did not want to let her daughter whose mind and heart are about to crumble with the loss of her beloved sister, Sun Yuwen smiled and smiled.
She did not utter a word to anyone, not even her own husband or parents of the pain she carried within in fear of the news getting to Yan Renhuo. For two years she carried it within without making a sound of complaint and the only time it became known to the rest of her family about her condition was when everything was too late.
The seed had already bloomed into a dark red flower that spread its roots to her meridians and veins. Many criticized her foolishness, but Sun Yuwen merely smiled at them and said a few words, ”This pain is nothing compared to the pain of seeing my daughter have lifeless eyes as she stares at the portrait of her sister!”
She collapsed when Yan Renhuo became six and it was also at this time what Sun Yuwen had contracted. And at six years of age, she vowed to uncover the lost pill that was said to cure even the Hell's Soul Flower.
Yan Renhuo weeps when she remembers the pain her mother had gone through. She was sad when her sister died, but her mother was there to comfort her when it happened. Right now, she fears of losing herself when even her mother leaves her side.
Her kneeling in front of Wang Ling, to her, was nothing but a mere expression of the emotion she had kept in her heart.
But a hand-assisted her from below and slowly pulled her up. Wang Ling kneeled on one knee and then locked eyes with Yan Renhuo, ”Do not kneel down to me, have you not heard what I have said? You are family, and it is normal for me to do this thing for someone that is standing by my side.”
That night, Yan Renhuo let out her emotions and cried in Wang Ling's chest. Wang Ling got affected by the emotion she projected that he too became melancholic. But at that moment of melancholy, Wang Ling felt that he was not the only one grieving and felt a kind of kinship to Yan Renhuo he could not explain.
