Chapter 9 - Memories

The stabbing pain in Song Jiaren's head made her curl up. Perhaps it was because it seemed too real. Song Chuyan frowned and wanted to step forward, but Song Youyou suddenly cried out in pain.

Song Chuyan immediately turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Youyou covered her stomach with her hand and said, "I just feel a little pain in my stomach."

Without thinking, Song Chuyan quickly walked to her side and picked her up. "I'll take you to the hospital."

After taking two steps, he looked back at Song Jiaren, who was still on the ground. After a moment of hesitation, he left with Song Youyou in his arms.

Song Jiaren's vision was a little blurry. The last thing she saw before she fainted was Song Chuyan's departing back and Song Youyou's smug smile.

When Song Meiyu got home, she saw Song Jiaren's door open with Song Jiaren lying unconscious on the floor. Song Meiyu cried out in alarm and quickly called an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

Song Jiaren laid on the hospital bed with cold sweat on her face. She kept mumbling something.

"Don't hurt my brother!"

These words resounded in Song Jiaren's mind. Her vision blurred and the scene around her changed. She saw a small black room with two children sitting inside. Or rather, they were tied up. This was obviously a scene of a kidnapping.

The slightly older one was a little girl, about ten years old. She turned around in panic and looked around. She wanted to cry, but when she saw her brother beside her, who was wailing, she stopped herself. She was the older sister. She couldn't cry. She had to protect her brother.

For some reason, Song Jiaren could hear the little girl's thoughts. Her heart started to beat frantically along with the little girl's uneasiness.

Not long after, a man in a black suit walked in with a few burly men. He looked at the two children and said with a smile, "Little children, don't be afraid. I'm just playing a game with you. After you drink this cup of water, I will let you go, okay?"

The man gave the big man behind him a look. One of them took out two cups and in front of the two children, he injected a syringe of medicine and handed the cups to them.

A sound suddenly came from outside the door. The man in a suit instructed his subordinates to watch over the two children and went out to check on the situation.

There was a sound at the door. From the room, only words like "ten million", "ransom" and "release" could be heard.

Hearing the topic of money, the big man in the room was a little distracted. He looked outside. The little girl took the opportunity to quickly drink the two cups of water. The crying little boy, not knowing what she was doing, looked at his sister in confusion.

The little girl stretched out her small and smooth hands to mimic her mother's actions and gently patted her brother's back.

Under her comfort, her brother gradually calmed down.

The man in the suit walked in with a suitcase in his hand. He looked very happy. When he saw that the cup of water in front of them had been emptied, he asked his subordinates, "Are you sure you saw them drink it?"

His subordinate was a little distracted just now, but facing his boss's questioning, he could only nod and say that he saw it.

The man in a suit was still worried. He walked around them and pulled them up to check if there were any water stains on their bodies. After confirming that they had drunk the water, he was even more satisfied.

He patted the boy's face and said, "You're so obedient. Only by being obedient can you live, understand?"

The little boy was so scared that his legs were trembling. The little girl swallowed hard and tried her best to puff out her chest and shielded the little boy behind her.

The man in the suit didn't get angry. He made a gesture and the two children were drugged by his subordinates.

Song Jiaren also blacked out. When she opened her eyes again, she realized that the two children had already arrived at the hospital. Beside them were Song Meiyu and Wang Yaotian. Now, the identities of the two children were clear. This girl was Song Jiaren, and the boy was Song Chuyan.

After Song Jiaren woke up, she forgot about the incident because she panicked and couldn't remember what had happened. Then, the girl's body started to change. Black spots grew on her face and her body started to gain weight.

When she saw this, she finally understood how Song Jiaren was poisoned.

Song Jiaren suddenly snapped awake. She looked at the ceiling of the hospital and Song Meiyu was beside her. For a moment, she couldn't tell if this was when she was a child or after she grew up, until Song Chuyan walked in.
