“Ding dong! Ding! Ding dong!”
Bright and early, the doorbell rang through the mountain villa neighborhood.
“What in the world is going on so early in the morning?” Sirius yawned and walked to the front door in his slippers.
A disheveled Wen Yu was standing there when he opened the door. Her hair was covered in sweat, and she was breathing hard.
“Don’t you give me any bullshit.” Wen Yu stood at the door of Sirius’s house with a particularly severe expression. “Who is the daughter of the poison master?”
Sirius was taken aback. He took a closer look at Wen Yu.
He had recently been occupied with assisting Lu Zhao in overseas matters. He assumed Lu Zhao was proceeding as planned, so he paid little attention to it. What prompted Wen Yu to bring it up today? Did something happen?
He had not forgotten Luo Ying’s warning, so he asked, “Why are you asking this?” with caution.
Wen Yu took a deep breath as she met Sirius’s suspicious gaze. “Let’s talk inside.” This was obviously a very serious matter, so she refrained from making any hasty decisions.
Sirius had no choice but to let her into the study. “What’s wrong with the blood? Or did something happen to Luo Ying?”
“Luo Ying experienced hypoglycemia a few weeks ago. Lu Zhao had me meet with her and conduct some preliminary evaluations.” Wen Yu kept her eyes fixed on his face. Intent on not missing a single nuance of his expression, she whispered, “Luo Ying is displaying slight anemia-like symptoms, unlike any other I’ve seen.”
“Anemia?” His heart missed a beat. What did she mean by ‘anemia’?
Luo Ying had previously claimed to have access to the blood because she was acquainted with the poison master’s daughter.
How come, though, did she end up with anemia?
“I have Luo Ying’s past health records. A year and a half ago, she did not have it,” Wen Yu added solemnly.
He connected the dots almost immediately.
He had thought it was odd at the time. After many years of searching, they still had not located the poison master’s missing daughter. When Luo Ying found out that Lu Zhao had been poisoned, she made the shocking claim that she knew the daughter of the poison master and could get blood for him. This was too much of a coincidence.
Not only that, but the poison master’s daughter was extremely reticent to show her face. She relied on Luo Ying as her sole point of contact.
Sirius felt his heart racing with anxiety. Could this “daughter of the poison master” be herself?
Sirius could not believe it himself. He had long been convinced that Luo Ying truly loved Lu Zhao, but he had failed to grasp the depths of her love.
To take it so far that she would drain her own blood, it went beyond the love he knew.
Do you think she is getting enough sleep? She has to watch her weight as an actress. It must have affected her body.” But despite what his intuition told her, Sirius kept a cool exterior. He cracked a grin and nudged the conversation toward the safe assumption.
“Just tell me the truth. I have Luo Ying’s medical records, and I have been receiving vials of this so-called “poison master’s daughter’s” blood. Even a monkey can put two-and-two. Are you trying to play dumb?”. Wen Yu became anxious. Having anemia was not a joke.
If they were the same person, she should stop killing herself this way!
“What of it? Wen Yu, I’m not telling you a single thing.” Sirius’s eyes narrowed. He said bluntly, “Let me just say this. It’s an unspoken secret that we’re well aware of at this point. She’s a big girl. If she wants to keep this up, we’ll have to keep our mouths shut. Do you understand?”
Wen Yu’s jaw went slack as she stared dumbly at him.
“We are already eight months in. In just two months, it’ll all be over. It will not be long until dawn finally arrives. No one is willing to back down right now, not even the daughter of the poison master, Lu Zhao, and not me.” Sirius’s demeanor reverted to his typical laid-back, upbeat self. He cracked a wry grin and said, “I know it’s killing you to do this, but you have to respect the choice of an adult, do not you? She can decide for herself. We’re just puppets being pulled along by her gig.”
“Besides, after Lu Zhao is cured, maybe the daughter of the poison master will finally reveal herself.” Sirius was not one to get in the way of such a loving act. It was not his place to interfere.
Wen Yu was not convinced in the slightest. She was not even sure if the donor could last another two months.
Other than the harm to her body, Wen Yu was anxious about something else..
