"I was curious and took a few more pills once. As a result, I slept for three days and got my stomach pumped in the hospital. It was only then that they found out that the servant had changed the pills," he said, looking up at her with intense self-mockery in his eyes.
"You know what? That servant was the nicest person to me when I first got to the Yi family. She showed great concern for me. Every day, she would smile gently as she watched me take the ‘vitamin’ pills she had switched out."
Anger welled up in Ling Yiran's heart. "How could someone do this to a child just to make life easier and go on a date? Didn’t she think about the consequences of a child taking too many sleeping pills?"
In severe cases, it could even lead to mental distress in kids.
Yi Jinli smiled lightly. "There are many people like that in the world. They can easily sacrifice others for small profits."
"What happened afterward? What happened to the servant?" asked Ling Yiran.
"The Yi family fired her," he said lightly.
Ling Yiran figured that if she was fired, the servant would probably have suffered for the rest of her life.
"Did you start hating taking medicine since then?"
"Yeah," he responded lightly. Taking medicine would remind him of the pain of having his stomach pumped and the awful experience of him lying on the hospital bed weakly.
Even when Old Master Yi came to his ward to visit him, there was not even a hint of affection in his eyes. He only told him about his vitamin pills being switched.
"You were lucky this time. You’ll only lose your life if you ever trust others so easily again. I won't help you even if you're my grandson. You have no right to stay in the Yi family if you have no sense of preparedness!"
