Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 525

Chapter 525: Possessed ( 1 )
People with sickle cell anemia may experience pain crises several or even dozens of times a year. The pain can last from hours to days and may require the patient to stay in the hospital.

Li Shu’s condition is exactly the same as Doctor Xie’s late daughter, who also suffers from sickle cell anemia inherited from her deceased mother and Doctor Xie.

She was abused to death by his grandparents while Doctor Xie was away. When he returned, what awaited him was his daughter’s cold body.

No one knows why she was beaten by the Xie family. But there were widespread rumors that she had given birth to an illegitimate child. As for the child and the child’s father, no one, including Doctor Xie, knew about their whereabouts.

Thinking of this, a bold guess appeared in Song Yan’s mind that Li Shu might be Doctor Xie’s long-lost granddaughter. Unfortunately, because of her injuries, he couldn’t see her face clearly.

He had seen photos of Doctor Xie’s daughter several times, so he still remembered her appearance. If the swelling on her face healed, he might be able to see the resemblance.

But, is there such a coincidence in this world? There are so many villagers, why did his teacher care so much about Li Shu’s situation?

And why did his teacher come to this place? Is it simply because he wants to leave his family and refuses to get involved in political struggle? Or is there another reason why he came to this place?

Looking at Li Shu’s data, the more he thought about it, the more questions he had in his mind. Song Yan rubbed his aching temple and felt that no matter what the truth was, he had to take more care of Li Shu just because his teacher came personally to inquire about her condition.

When Li Sang and Aunt Li visited Li Shu, Doctor Xie went to the state-owned restaurant and bought three portions of dumpling soup.

After placing the order, he sat on the table and recalled Li Shu’s data. When he first arrived in Xie Village, he had already given up the idea of ​​looking for his granddaughter. He just wants to spend his remaining years in this secluded village, away from the gaze of his family.

So he was surprised when he saw how similar Li Shu was to his wife. He didn’t expect that he would meet someone who was seven points similar to his late wife. Because of these similarities, he treats her more kindly than toward the others.

However, he never thought that she might be his lost granddaughter, because the distance from the capital to Xie village was too far. Until today when he saw her test data and discovered that she also suffered from sickle cell anemia, a congenital disease inherited from both parents.

As a doctor, he knew the symptoms of this disease, and he was sure that neither Li Sang nor Chen Lina, including their parents, had this disease. Therefore, the possibility that Li Shu was not their biological daughter was very high.

Calculating the time, his granddaughter should be about the same age as Li Shu. He didn’t know how to prove she was his granddaughter because his daughter told him nothing.

But based on the similarity in her personality to him and the similarity in appearance between her and his wife, Doctor Xie was 80% certain that she was his long lost granddaughter.

His eyes turned cold as he came to this conclusion. If his conclusion is correct, then Li Shu must have been kidnapped and sold to the Li family or been swapped when she was young either by Chen Lina or another person.

Just as anger welled up in his heart, Doctor Xie heard the restaurant staff say, “Comrade, your dumpling soup is ready.”

After hearing her words, Doctor Xie was pulled out of his thoughts. He took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil and went to get the food.

As he walked back to the hospital, he thought, ‘I have to be patient. Now, the priority is to ensure that the girl does not develop any complications in the future due to this incident.’

In Xie Village, Gou Dan was lying down in the Chen family ancestral hall. More than ten days have passed since he was punished by his grandfather and locked up in the ancestral hall.

Although the injury on his back had almost recovered, his hatred for Dong Li, Dong Huang, and Feng Lin did not diminish and intensified instead. His fists were clenched, his face was twisted with hatred, and he cursed softly.

“Damn Dong Li! Don’t think you have won! When I leave here, I will break your legs and make you regret going against me for the rest of your life!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and Grandpa Chen walked in, followed by Gou Dan’s mother.

Seeing the gloomy look on his Grandpa’s face, Gou Dan quickly stood up and said, “Grandpa.”

Grandpa Chen looked at his eldest grandson and felt very disappointed in his heart. In order to ensure that his future would not be ruined by this incident, he gritted his teeth and paid a large sum of money to the Li family as compensation. Not only did his grandson not repent, but he also held a deep grudge and planned to break Dong Li’s legs!

Standing in front of his grandson, Grandpa Chen asked coldly, “Chen Jiande, do you admit your mistakes?”

Hearing his Grandpa’s words, Gou Dan frowned and his dissatisfaction grew. He never thinks what he does is wrong. He saw that his mother always treated other branch members like this. If his mother can do this, why can’t he?

When he raised his head to answer his grandfather’s question, he noticed that his mother shook her head. Remembering what his mother had said to him before, he clenched his fists, lowered his head to hide the resentment in his heart, and said, “Grandpa, I was wrong.”
