Chapter 147: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 53
Lin Shuangshuang wasn’t angry at the suspicious look from the man. But the crowd around her was quite furious because, strictly speaking, Zhao Yan was still their adversary. Although Zhao Yan was ultimately abandoned by his own people, not taking out their anger on Zhao Yan and even bringing him along was already quite magnanimous of them.
Fortunately, the man’s mind short-circuited only momentarily from his agitation, and after his words slipped out, he quickly realized that Zhao Yan shouldn’t have been harmed by these people.
The reason is simple. In these times, carrying an invalid who just eats for free is not an easy task. If they had wanted to harm Zhao Yan out of deep hatred, they would certainly have killed him. Why would they go to the trouble of crippling him and then painstakingly bringing him along as a burden?
After realizing his mistake, the man’s face turned red with embarrassment. These people had just saved his life, and yet his suspicious thoughts made him feel petty. Nonetheless, he was straightforward enough to admit his error as soon as he recognized it.
"I’m sorry, I was just too agitated. The child’s father is a very good friend of mine, and I watched young Yan grow up. Last time we parted, he was fine, and now suddenly seeing him like this, I lost control of my emotions for a moment. I’m truly sorry, and I hope you all won’t hold it against me."
The man’s apology was sincere, and it calmed down the initially angry crowd. Since the child was a friend’s and someone they watched grow up from a young age, his sudden tragic state was understandable in a moment of panic.
Lin Shuangshuang was naturally indifferent to it; she was never someone who cared much about others’ opinions, nor was she angered by his misunderstanding. In fact, not only was Lin Shuangshuang not angry, but she was also a bit pleased.
Earlier, Lin Shuangshuang was troubled about how to find a legitimate way to go to Zhao Zhenxiang’s base and drop off Zhao Yan. Now, wasn’t this like a pillow being delivered just when she needed one? The man she unintentionally saved turned out to be a friend of Zhao Yan’s father, making it simple—just let Zhao Yan go with him.
