After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Protecting You

Cheng Huai came out of the room and put the medical kit away.

Zhao Haishuang stepped forward and asked Cheng Huai, "He got hurt—was it your doing?"

Although Cheng Huai had just told her that Cheng Lie accidentally cut his own hand with a knife, Zhao Haishuang didn’t believe it at all.

Cheng Huai grinned at her words, "Mom, it seems there’s nothing you can’t see through."

Zhao Haishuang scoffed, "I’m your mother, I know exactly what’s going on in your head."

Cheng Huai chuckled, showing no guilt about being exposed for doing something wrong.

"Mom, after all these years, how could you endure it for so long?"

Zhao Haishuang’s gaze flickered slightly at Cheng Huai’s words, taking a moment before replying, "What choice do I have? Even if I can’t stand it, I have to. He’s still your father’s son—and a fool at that. You can’t seriously harm a fool, can you?"

"Why not harm him? I have no feelings for him," Cheng Huai’s eyes flashed with a fleeting cruelty.

To be honest, these days there had been a few lingering thoughts in his mind.

He wanted to deal with Cheng Lie once and for all.

A fool like him—he’d lost his mind and yet Cheng Guomin would still dote on him like that.

What if he recovered someday?

Of course, his anxiety stemmed from another reason as well.

Recently, Cheng Guomin had sought consultations from foreign specialists and even considered taking Cheng Lie abroad for treatment.

He couldn’t imagine what their lives would be like if Cheng Lie truly recovered from his autism.

"Mom... you mentioned before that his grades were excellent before he got sick?"

"That’s what I heard from his former teachers. He was only in kindergarten and already knew everything. But that was years ago, have you learned about ’The Decline of Zhongyong’? Don’t worry too much over it." Zhao Haishuang keenly sensed what Cheng Huai might be worrying about.

"Don’t worry, I only have you as my child. No matter what, our family’s assets won’t end up benefiting an outsider."

Worry? He wasn’t worried.

It was just that he couldn’t stop thinking.

But hearing Zhao Haishuang’s words, were his worries truly unnecessary?
