Chapter 191: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 98
Upon seeing Lin Shuangshuang, Wei Min and Lin Hai were very happy. Wei Min smiled and said to Lin Shuangshuang, "You came back at the right time, Yanhong and Xiaoqi are together now, and they’ve been waiting for you to come back to hold the wedding."
Speaking of this, Wei Min also sighed. A few years ago, she was still worrying about what kind of son-in-law her daughter would find. Who knew that Lin Shuangshuang would directly say she didn’t plan to get married!
At first, Wei Min and Lin Hai couldn’t accept it, but over time, seeing that Lin Shuangshuang was doing well on her own, the couple had to accept it. Fortunately, the house was always lively, with many of Lin Shuangshuang’s friends staying over, so it wasn’t lonely. Now, Wei Min and Lin Hai gradually let go, no longer insisting that Lin Shuangshuang find a man to marry.
A few days later, Lin Shuangshuang, wearing a beautiful sky-blue evening gown, was preparing to attend Zhang Yanhong and Zhong Qi’s wedding in a lively atmosphere. Now that her enemies were all dead, she had both her parents, and had gained many friends and family, she felt content and extremely happy.
Feeling utterly happy, Lin Shuangshuang was unaware that in a distant base, her only living enemy, Zhao Yan, was struggling to survive. Zhao Yan had hated Li Man for years, especially every time he saw his missing legs, his hatred deepened.
Whenever he thought of Li Man, Zhao Yan recalled how his own greed back then led to his legs being corroded by the venom of a mutated spider. Zhao Yan never knew that Red Jade, who had undergone a makeover after shedding her skin, was the mutated spider responsible for his lost legs.
Red Jade’s venom was special; at first glance, it wasn’t immediately deadly, but it had a latent period.
Back then, when Zhao Yan was corroded by the venom on Red Jade’s spider silk, the poison seemed suppressed after Li Man decisively amputated his legs. But in reality, the poison merely receded, lurking in Zhao Yan’s body.
The poison lurking inside Zhao Yan’s body was silently destroying it, causing inexplicable ulcers, especially at the stump of his legs, which frequently festered, causing him excruciating pain.
Even worse, the ulcerated wounds on his legs could infect Zhao Yan’s bones, allowing the poison to spread throughout his body.
So every time his leg wounds festered, Zhao Yan had to stay inside a sterile room for a long time. Even more devastating for Zhao Yan was the increasing frequency of ulcers on his body until he could no longer leave the sterile room.
Zhao Zhenxiang was utterly worried about this son, all his prior ambitions and aspirations gone, with only a small wish for his son to live peacefully and safely.
Unfortunately, despite Zhao Zhenxiang’s prayers to all the gods, Zhao Yan’s condition only worsened. Eventually, his skin was completely ulcerated, and he lay on the bed like a heap of rotting meat. If not for the wondrous medicines developed since the great evolution of the world, Zhao Yan would have been dead already. But now, although not dead, his life was worse than death.
