Chapter 6: Education and Discipline

Translator: Lonelytree

Mo Zheng looked at his mother with a cold smile on his face. "What's wrong? Feeling pained for your precious daughter? That barely made up for what she has done to me!" Then he turned to Mo Li, "Well, what do you have to say now? I still haven't heard an apology."

His tone was full of mockery. Taking in his mother's nervousness and his father's concern, Mo Zheng had never felt so unloved. At most, Mo Li would suffer a little burn but his life was ruined. His parents never showed such worry when they visited him earlier, but a little burn on their precious daughter and it was like their worlds were burning. The preferential treatment was enraging.

​​

Mother Mo felt her legs go weak. If not for Mo Yun's support, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Both of them were her children. As parents, they were stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The atmosphere in the ward dropped to freezing point. The heavy atmosphere was suffocating.

Mo Li was the first to speak, breaking the awkwardness, "I'll have to go wash myself. Third brother, please have a good rest."

Then she strode out from the room. There was nothing she could do in that situation. Only by leaving could she make things less difficult for her parents.

Mother Mo watched as her daughter walk away. Tears welled up in her eyes.

However, she reminded herself to be firm. This was a lesson Mo Li needed, they couldn't pamper her unconditionally anymore.

...

Mo Li splashed her face with cold water but it did nothing to wash away the oil stains. Mo Li took a few deep breaths before returning to the ward.

Mo Yun and Mother Mo were waiting for her at the door.

Seeing her daughter's disheveled appearance, Mother Mo was at a loss for words, she really did not know what to say.

Mo Li was about to return to Mo Zheng's ward, when Mo Yu blocked her way, "Do you think you've not done enough damage? Let Lil' Three have some peace. Wait here, we'll come get you when he has calmed down."

"Yun 'Er, don't be so harsh. She should be able to come in. We can't leave her here all alone." Mother Mo's heart went to her daughter. They were after all, a family.

"It's alright, I can wait outside. This is better for third brother anyway." Mo Li said understandingly. Since Mo Li had said that herself, Mother Mo hesitated before nodding. "Then just stay here and don't wander off. Mommy and your brother will be back in a minute."

Mother Mo and Mo Yun returned to the ward without Mo Li and the atmosphere seemed to have lightened up. Mo Yun even told some jokes. The atmosphere in the ward was completely different from before.

Although Mo Zheng was still replying only half-heartedly, at least he was no longer as prickly as before. He even revealed a smile once or twice on his face.

Everything is so much better without me around... Mo Li glanced through the small window outside the ward

About half an hour later, Mother Mo had her husband and Mo Yun bring Mo Li home.

She would stay behind with the nurse to take care of her son. After such a tragedy, Mo Zheng needed care and companionship from his family.

This time, Mo Yun did not have any objections. He followed Mo Yi and ferried Mo Li home.
