My mother quickly added, "Starting from the bottom isn't so bad. Didn't you work your way up from there before?"
My heart felt hot and cold, and I couldn't help but blurt out questions.
"Dad, Mom, who is your biological bloodline?"
My mother quickly grabbed my sleeve, exuding an anxious breath.
"What nonsense are you talking about! You and Xiaorou have grown up together since they were cubs. We have long regarded her as our own child! Over the years, if Xiaorou hadn't provided you with opportunities to enter her territory, how could you have the stable life you have now?"
My dad nodded in agreement, his old face full of seriousness: "Yes, let's just say that your mother's heart rhythm failed this time. If Xiaorou hadn't found such a good healer and arranged a separate cave for rest, your mother would not have recovered so quickly! Although she has never come to visit in person, she is the head of the clan and it is expected that she will be busy..."
When I heard this, I clenched my hands into fists and my knuckles turned white.
I found a good healer only after I spent 800 silver moon coins to sign up for special medical treatment.
