Chapter 438: 439: Disfigured

Xiao Shumiao, who was hiding in the large hole, faintly heard his parents calling him, and immediately crawled towards the entrance of the hole.

After listening carefully for a moment and confirming that it indeed was the sound of his parents calling him, he used his hands and feet to crawl out from the hole.

As he crawled, he wept, crying out loudly: “Dad! Mom! I’m here, Xiao Shu is here!”

Following the sound of his voice, Ye Xingbei ran over and fell to her knees in front of him. She embraced him and sobbed loudly: “Xiao Shu, you’ve scared Mom to death!”

“Mom!” Xiao Shumiao sobbed, clinging tightly around her neck.

Gu Junzhu, carrying Lingyue, squatted down beside him, “Are you hurt?”

“Dad, I’m not hurt.” Xiao Shumiao choked up as he looked at Lingyue.

Seeing the injuries on Lingyue’s face, he was so terrified that he forgot to cry. His face turned pale, and he shivered all over.

Ye Xingbei, distressed, hid his face in her chest, “It’s alright, Xiao Shu, Mom and Dad are here now, everything’s fine…”

Gu Junzhu tightened his lips, carrying Lingyue, he strode towards the parked car: “To the hospital.”

As soon as they got in the car, Lingyue fainted.

Xiao Shumiao held onto one of Lingyue’s hands, his voice hoarse from crying. He explained what happened to them intermittently.

Ye Xingbei listened, tears rolling down her cheeks.

These few hours were the most agonizing hours she had ever experienced since she was born.

Her heart felt like it had been dropped into a frying pan, seared and fried, making her feel like she was dying.

Her mind was filled with flashes of various cases of kidnapped hostages being killed, and she was scared out of her wits.

Thanks to Gu Junzhu dispatching people to search everywhere, they were able to track down the kidnapper’s route and find them.

Otherwise, she didn’t know what would happen to the two children.

She tightly embraced Xiao Shumiao, found and lost, staring at the battered Lingyue. She hated the kidnapper and the person who hired him with a passion.

She swore that she would find the person who hired the kidnapper and take her revenge tenfold, hundredfold!

The pains that Lingyue endured, she would inflict a hundredfold, a thousandfold on the person who tormented him!

Lingyue was rushed to the hospital.

After examination, the doctor regretfully said: “The child didn’t break any bones, but the wounds are too deep, and will leave scars, especially the one on his face, it will definitely leave a scar.”

With this, the doctor shook his head regretfully.

Even though the child’s face had two bloody strokes, the doctor could see that he had a rare handsome face.

Now with the scars, it was a crying shame.

Ye Xingbei’s heart ached terribly, tears welled up in her eyes: “Isn’t there any way? What about other hospitals? As long as he can be cured, we’re willing to go anywhere!”

The doctor shook his head in regret, “If it was just whipped by a belt, it wouldn’t have been so severe. With scar removal surgery, there would basically be no trace. But this wound next to the child’s brow was scraped off by a belt buckle, the wound is too deep, scar removal surgery can’t restore it. Fortunately, it missed the eye by a bit, otherwise the child would surely be blinded.”

Ye Xingbei swayed, covered her mouth, and sobbed uncontrollably.

Besides her Xiao Shu, she had never seen a child more beautiful than Lingyue.

That child looked like a little golden boy, with every facial feature delicate and precise. She could already foresee what a handsome face he would have when he grew up.

But now, there will be a scar on that child’s face.

Thinking about the child being beaten till blood spilled, Ye Xingbei felt as if her heart had been torn apart, and she cried so much that she could hardly breathe.
