I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

586  It's All Because My Mother Forced Me

Du Yue turned to look at her, her eyes cold.

"I'm also a person of flesh and blood," Zhang Hui sobbed. "Brother Teng is so good to me. How could I have the heart to throw him out? All of this was forced by my mother! She was the one who wanted me to throw Brother Teng out. I'm her daughter. I can't disobey her, so I can only do as she says! She's the real culprit. Even if Brother Teng wants to blame someone, he should blame her! Can you let me go and leave her behind?"

Zhang Hui's face was full of tears, and she looked very pitiful.

However, this delicate face did not soften Du Yue's heart at all. Instead, it made her feel cold all over. Du Yue could understand if Zhang Hui and her mother's previous plan was a result of being desperate for a long time. However, she would never have thought that Zhang Hui, who looked so gentle and weak, would betray her own mother without hesitation in order to survive in a critical situation.

It was obvious that Mrs. Zhang did not expect her daughter to treat her like this. She let go of Zhang Hui's arm and took a few steps back. "What did you just say?"

Zhang Hui's eyes were red. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I really don't want to die. I'm still so young. Think about it carefully. Do you want both of us to die here? And I'm not lying. If you hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have made that decision!"

Zhang Hui's words just now might have been said because she was frightened. However, when Mrs. Zhang asked her again, she still did not change her attitude. She had already made up her mind to sacrifice her biological mother in exchange for a chance to live.

Mrs. Zhang found it hard to accept this fact. "You… I raised you up with all my heart. My family has been poor since I was young. I couldn't even bear to eat eggs and gave them all to you. Moreover, you were the one who said that you hate a rough man like Shen Teng. You were only getting what you need by being with him. Now that he's sick, you wanted to leave him. I'm your mother. Of course, I want my daughter to live a better life. That's why I gave you an idea. Why did you say I forced you?"

Zhang Hui suddenly broke down and screamed, "You're lying! You're lying! You were the one who forced me to throw him out! I never needed your help! It's not because we can't afford eggs at home. It's because you're incompetent!"

Zhang Hui's repeated accusations made Mrs. Zhang dispirited. She shook her head and turned around, not wanting to say another word to Zhang Hui.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was silent, Zhang Hui was excited. She pointed at Mrs. Zhang and said to Du Yue, "Look, she's clearly feeling guilty. That's why she doesn't dare to explain herself! Now you'll believe me, right? She planned all of this herself! Leave her here and let me go!"

Du Yue looked at her ferocious face and was too lazy to say anything else to her. She turned around and walked into the tent. He Xing followed behind her. Seeing that they had left, Zhang Hui suddenly panicked and ran a few steps, wanting to reach out to grab Du Yue's sleeve. Xia Ju was the last to leave. She stared coldly at Zhang Hui who was rushing forward. "If you dare to move again, I'll kill you now."

When Xia Ju said this, Zhang Hui was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks. In the end, she did not dare to take another step forward. Seeing Zhang Hui tremble and take a few steps back, Xia Ju turned around and walked into the tent with relief.

In the tent, He Xing and Du Yue were sitting at the table and talking. Seeing Xia Ju come in, Du Yue called her over to rest. "Come, rest for a while."

Xia Ju shook her head. "I'm not tired. I'll go and see how Shen Teng is doing." Among the three of them, only Xia Ju was good at treating patients and saving lives. Xia Ju walked to the bedside in a few steps and squatted down to carefully check Shen Teng's current condition.

Two minutes later, Xia Ju spoke in a much more relaxed tone, "His condition is much better than when we first arrived. He'll probably wake up after the IV drip is done."

When they arrived, Shen Teng had a high fever and fainted. Du Yue thought that he would be unconscious for at least a day and a night, but she did not expect his condition to improve so quickly. Although she knew that Xia Ju was capable, she was still surprised by her ability.
