I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 255: Fear Comes from the Unknown

For a moment, the Bai Family home was left with only Bai Ye, who at this juncture was still somewhat dazed. Everything that had happened today felt so unreal.

He felt like he was dreaming as he mechanistically went to feed the pigs and prepare the meal, which was still a simple porridge.

Once it was ready, he ladled it out, drinking it spoonful by spoonful.

He didn’t even know what he was thinking about.

...

Bai Da groaned in pain, and Bai Guang had unceremoniously dumped him onto the back seat, regardless if it caused him pain; surely it couldn’t hurt more than an injection, right?

"Cousin, drive faster, I’m a bit worried about Xingxing and Wu Wa being at the hospital alone."

Although she had asked Li Mo for help, she was still anxious, worried they hadn’t eaten on time, worried about Xingxing moving around.

"There’s only so fast I can go, little sister; the road is bad, we cannot go any faster. Don’t worry; I think that kid, Bai Zhi, will certainly take care of herself."

Bai Guang’s opinion of Bai Zhi had started to change on that night when he realized that after enduring much, she and Bai Xiang had started to earn some money. What little they earned was not important to him, but it represented the children’s own efforts.

"I know, but I just can’t help worrying."

After saying this, Bai Xin turned and glared at Bai Da, who was now lying in the back, quietly moaning, looking very much in pain, covered in fresh blood, but what of that?

She did not feel the slightest bit of pity for him.

Even Bai Guang never gave him a glance; a man who took his anger out on a child is truly unfit to be called human.

When this was all over, they really should kick him out of the Bai Family.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely go faster."

Bai Fei also woke up and sleepily spoke up, anxious to get to the hospital quickly.

"Dad, then please, go a bit faster."

Bai Xiang didn’t go with them; he had returned to school to lie in wait for Ye Xiu’s return.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhi’s room, although originally a single, had another bed installed due to a shortage of hospital beds.

Uncle Li brought meals for the two little girls, one with braised spareribs and the other with Braised Pork Belly, clearly not cheap dishes.

"Eat up; because there’s a shortage of hospital rooms, we added an extra bed here temporarily, don’t mind it."

Uncle Li was a very gentle person; whether it involved drawing blood for tests or hanging an IV, he would always come and administer it himself.

Fearing the little girls would feel insecure, and now with the Braised Pork Belly, Bai Zhi thought that this Uncle Li was truly warm-hearted.

"I don’t mind at all, Uncle Li. But am I really unable to go home?"

Bai Zhi wanted to return home. Since she couldn’t have surgery right now and was just hanging on to an IV in the hospital, it didn’t seem very helpful.

"You can’t. Staying in the hospital is for your own good, to prevent your condition from worsening. Be good; my mentor will be back tomorrow and then we’ll have some answers. Your aunt will bring your parents over too, don’t worry. Okay? Eat more to keep up your strength, all right?"

Uncle Li frowned and gently soothed Bai Zhi.

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Li."

Seeing how obedient Bai Zhi was, Uncle Li finally smiled. Wu Wa and Bai Zhi quietly ate their meals.

That evening they started another IV drip, and perhaps because they had identified the problem, Bai Zhi was now not afraid of injections.

Sometimes, fear is due to an unknown dread.

Just after settling down from hanging the IV, the nurse was about to leave when suddenly, a crowd of people arrived at the door.

"Doctor, doctor, please come quick and have a look at this child, what’s wrong with them?"

In a flash, Bai Zhi thought she heard Ye Xiu’s voice.
