A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Everyone present clearly knew what Mr. Yang was thinking about. Secretly they despised him, but had no intention to interfere with their family affairs. They all comforted Mr. Yang and Donny, but were eager to leave.

Mr. Yang cast a furtive glimpse at Donny and ordered, "Donny, come and take your mother back home. Don't leave her here. It's improper. Rest assured. I promise that I will give your mother a ceremonious funeral!"

Upon hearing this, Donny jumped to his feet and landed a massive punch against his father's jaw, "Bang!"

Dizziness made Mr. Yang sink to the floor, as he had not expected violence from his son, "How dare you! How dare you even think of hitting me! You and your mother are so alike! Now, I shall give you a lesson in paternal piety!"

At this rebuke and threat, Donny's eyes glazed over in rage and he glared balefully at his father, clearly intended on landing a second blow.

Cowed by his son's lack of capitulation, Mr. Yang felt frightened and chose not to try his luck at punching back, but yelled, "I...I warn you! I...I'm your father! You should respect me, and not beat me! If you dare punch me once more, you will be punished by God! Do you hear me?"

At this moment, Donny was however completely indifferent to who he should respect. He was no longer an innocent little boy, and his eyes were filled with malice. Standing near his mother, it was clear that he would tear anyone to pieces if they dared to touch her!

Dr. Li felt pity for Donny and he gently reminded, "Dear Donny, don't waste time here. Go and take your mother to Mr. Barefoot. Maybe he can still save your mother's life!"

Donny felt warmed upon hearing Dr. Li, and the man's consideration brought tears to his eyes.

Lifting his mother to his back, Donny ran towards Mr. Barefoot's home, disappearing into the darkness.

Mr. Yang stood around numbly and once he was certain that his son had departed, he covered his face and scorned, "A moron, will always be a moron!"

"Ouch!" The wound he had sustained was painful and he turned to yell at Dr. Li, "Come and apply some ointment. It hurts so badly!"
