Chapter 619: The poisoned child
" Who left a child here?" Aunt Wang was stunned when she saw the young girl lying inside the carriage, she blinked her eyes and then raised her hands to rub her eyes to make sure that she was not hallucinating but even after she was done rubbing her eyes, the young girl who was lying in the carriage was still there and when she saw this, she turned to look at Yu Dong and asked, " Is she a beggar or refugee? Did she sneak inside when we were not looking?"" Then where is the guardian of the child?" Aunt Wang asked as she looked left and right on the street but no matter where she looked she could only see a crowd of refugees and beggars, she could not see anyone with an item of decent clothing. " How can they leave a sick child behind like this?"
When she looked at the child whose cheeks were flushed red and she seemed to be getting more and more worse her heart couldn\'t help but ache for the child, how can a child\'s parents be so irresponsible? They actually left their daughter behind and went away!
" Stop looking Aunt Wang," Yu Dong sighed as she got inside the carriage and took a good look at the child who was unconscious on the seat of the carriage, the child was good-looking. With her chubby cheeks and pale skin with eyes that held certain fierceness in them, the child looked nothing like a commoner\'s child, from every angle her appearance screamed \' rich and pampered.\'
But despite her good looks the child\'s skin was covered with scars that made Yu Dong\'s heart ache as she turned to look at Lang and said, " Go and bring some new clothes along with bandages to treat this child."
Lang was a bit surprised but she nodded when she heard Yu Dong\'s orders, she thought that her master was going to throw the child away after all the child did not belong to them or to anyone they know, which made the child completely unrelated to them but her mistress was asking her to bring a set of new clothing and bandages doesn\'t that mean that she was going to keep the child? But why?
There were a lot of questions in Lang\'s head but she still rushed to the closest shop that was selling ready-made clothes.
Lang was not the only one who had a lot of questions, Aunt Wang was just as stunned and confused, she looked at Yu Dong who was looking at the injuries of the young girl and asked, " Yu Dong what are you doing? Are you really going to keep this child? In such situations no matter how rich she is, it\'s clear that she was abandoned by her parents, you have no reason to raise her. Just leave her here."
" I cannot do that," Yu Dong was done untying the shirt of the young girl and no sooner did she untie the shirt, she noticed that the child had many more scars on her body. She hurriedly took out the medicine that she has made for grandma Yu and her husbands and then started rubbing the medicine on the wounds of the little girl who was lying on the seat of the carriage. " If I leave her alone then she will be killed by someone here and now."
Aunt Wang was startled when she heard this and her face couldn\'t help but grow solemn as she looked at Yu Dong who was rubbing the medicine on the child. " What do you mean? Who will kill a young child like her?"
Yu Dong hesitated and then she said, " Aunt Wang why don\'t you close the door and then come inside?"
Aunt Wang was confused but she did as Yu Dong said, she climbed the stairs of the carriage and then sat beside Yu Dong after closing the door behind her and asked, "What\'s going on? Why are you being so cautious?"
" Look at the child carefully aunt Wang," replied Yu Dong as she finished applying medicine to the wounds that were old and waited for Lang to bring the bandages so that she will be able to dress the new wounds. She picked up the water pouch that was next to her in the carriage and then helped the child up by carefully supporting her neck and then poured some of the spiritual water inside the child\'s mouth as she said, " The child has been attacked by someone again and again, one can see that someone wants this child dead which is why they attacked her. Her parents must have been worried that she will be killed if they did not leave her behind which is why they left her in the carriage and then ran away."
" Most probably they wanted the child to be safe and used themselves as bait to protect their child."
Yu Dong saw no other reason as to why a parent will leave their child back lest they were not being chased by someone dangerous and that too a child who was this sick!
