Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: The Bone-Chilling Truth 8 Ou Mucen saw this and quickly stepped forward: “It’s me, I’ve come to see you.” “You… who are you? Why have I never seen you before?” Ou Mucen suddenly didn’t know how to respond. Who is he? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIＦire.net He certainly… is his son-in-law, but now, looking into his eyes, why couldn’t he just say it? It felt as if something was stuck, just very choked. “Mr. Ou, quickly tell him who you are. It’s rare that he’s clear-headed now.” While hesitating, the doctor beside him urged again. Upon hearing this, Ou Mucen steeled himself and said, “I am your son-in-law!” As soon as these words were uttered, not only did the old man on the bed look stunned, but even the doctor widened his eyes in shock, staring blankly at him. “Son-in-law? So you are Miss Aning’s husband?” After a long while, he nodded: “Sorry, I only just heard about this recently, and haven’t come earlier…” “Then where is my daughter? Where is Xiaoning? Where has Xiaoning gone?” With that one sentence, the atmosphere in the room turned awkward again, and Ou Mucen’s face became exceptionally dismal. The doctor seeing this, realized things were not going well, and quickly changed the subject: “Master, isn’t Miss Aning just busy? Once she’s done, she’ll certainly come to see you.” The old man hearing this, pursed his lips in displeasure and agreed, then ignored Ou Mucen and the others, picking up something to play with. Ou Mucen looked over and realized the doctor had placed a toy box beside his bed, and the old man was holding a plush doll that only a child would play with. “Xiaoning, look at the toy Daddy bought you. Do you like it?” “Xiaoning, you have to listen. Mommy is in the kitchen cooking your favorite braised pork. Don’t run around, do you hear?” Has he really become this confused? Ou Mucen saw the hands in his pockets clenching even tighter, his brow furrowed as he approached, seeing the doctor constantly using a towel to wipe the saliva from the old man’s mouth, and asked, “Is he always ?” The doctor nodded: “They say it’s because the shock back then was too great, and since he was rescued, he’s been , plus now he’s quite old and not in good health.” Upon hearing this, Ou Mucen had many questions he wanted to ask, but hearing this, he found himself unable to ask anything further. He certainly knew what the shock he mentioned referred to? That year, his father and Hu Zhiming fought to take that set of jewels and killed Yan Xiuning, then he witnessed his six-year-old daughter being forced by them to jump into the river, under such stress, what man could bear it? Just like now, with the incident involving his girl, he’s been on the brink of life and death several times. So, what he said was something he truly understood, and also… deeply hated himself for having such dark thoughts? This old man, being , how could he still suspect that he was the one behind it? Yes, this matter through his analysis showed every sign that it must have been someone with a grudge against the Ou Family that would do something so cruel.
