Chapter 62 – The Owner of the Stray Kitten

The Owner of the Stray Kitten (9)

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt at ease and slept in her arms, a faint smile on his lips as he drifted off.

But once asleep, all the beauty faded.

He dreamed again of the middle-aged man who had nearly beaten him to death. That man’s vicious expression was still clear in his mind.

He also dreamed of a woman. This woman was not Xu Xinghe. He couldn’t see her face clearly, but he could feel her hypocrisy.

Her smile was very fake. Back when Lin Mo was at the Lin family, everyone who tried to curry favor with him smiled at him just like that.

As soon as she brought him back, she forced him into scalding hot water for a bath. His whole body ached as if it were falling apart. His wounds festered from being soaked in water.

Later, she bought some ointment, roughly applied it to him, and then never bothered with him again.

He gritted his teeth and endured it. That woman nearly drove Lin Mo crazy. As time passed, whenever she got mistreated outside, she would come home and take it out on him.

He was beaten black and blue. After each beating, she would tell him it was for his own good.

Lin Mo was so angry he couldn’t speak. He had no ability to fight back. He wanted to kill her!

In the dream, Xu Xinghe no longer existed. It was as if everything that had happened over the past few days was just a beautiful dream before his death.

Lin Mo’s body kept twitching. He suddenly opened his eyes, sensed someone in front of him, and bit down hard.

He didn’t hold back. Soon, two bloody holes appeared on that small hand.

“Hiss—” Xu Xinghe had just woken from her dream by the sharp pain in her hand. She looked in disbelief at the small bleeding tooth marks.

Hearing her voice, Lin Mo snapped awake. Realizing what he had done, his face turned deathly pale.

He looked at her bleeding wound. His eyes held fear, regret, and self-loathing.

Lin Mo wanted to apologize, but all he could do was let out a “Meow…” He wished he could turn back right now. He wanted to apologize and tell her he didn’t mean it.

Xu Xinghe frowned at Lin Mo, worried that he might be stressed. But for now, she had to deal with the wound.

She got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and used a tissue to wipe away the blood around the wound. The wound itself wasn’t large, but on her flawless skin it looked especially horrible.

Lin Mo felt as if his world was collapsing. She definitely didn’t want him anymore. He was a bad cat.

She must have been in so much pain, yet there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t even apologize.

Hatred burned in Lin Mo’s eyes, making them red. He didn’t want to be a cat anymore. He wanted to change back.

…

Inside a VIP hospital room, a handsome man lay covered in tubes. His finger suddenly moved. The sudden fluctuation on the monitor brought all the doctors rushing in.

Father Lin and Mother Lin arrived quickly after receiving the news. For the past three years, worry over their son’s accident had aged them. Their once thick black hair had gradually turned gray.

Now, their son’s doctor came out. They hurried over and asked, “Doctor! How is Lin Mo?”

The doctor brought them good news. “Lin Mo’s body is showing slight responses. His will to wake up is becoming stronger. The chances of him waking up are increasing!”

Hearing this, Father Lin and Mother Lin were so moved that tears immediately fell. They hugged each other and wept. They had been married for nearly thirty years and had only one son, then this accident happened.

In the past, they had been busy with business and rarely spent time with their son.

Only after his accident did they realize that making more money was not as important as being with the family.
