Chapter 247
Chapter 247: Are They Still Human?
Realizing this, Ms. Qi completely broke down.
“How could this be? It shouldn’t be like this! That was my child. That should have been my child. They stole my child!”
When she thought about the two children who should have been born into their family but had been snatched away and become someone else’s children, Ms. Qi felt the tight string in her mind snap. She wanted to rush straight to her brother?in?law’s house right now and make them give her children back, make them pay in blood for the children she had lost.
Mr. Liu held his wife tightly, his eyes full of sorrow: “The timing of my brother’s change was too perfect. And back then my father also mentioned that he wanted to take revenge on all of us. Bringing my brother home was the first step in his revenge. Driving my mom to her death was the second step. Not long after that, at my mom’s funeral, he had a huge fight with my grandfather and grandmother, then disappeared into thin air and was never seen again.”
Mr. Liu had not been there that day when his father argued with his grandparents, so he did not know exactly what they had said. He only knew that not long after that fight, his grandfather and grandmother both fell ill, and within half a year, both of them passed away.
By then, everyone who had directly caused his father and his girlfriend to be torn apart was dead. The only person his father still hated was him.
It was just that after that, Mr. Liu never saw his father again, let alone suffered any revenge. As he breathed a sigh of relief, he had even felt secretly happy. He thought that blood was thicker than water. Even if his father disliked him, he believed that like a tiger who will not eat its own cubs, the man still had a bit of love for him.
Looking at it now, he realized how laughably naive he had been. The reason his father never showed up and never took revenge on him was probably only because he had already achieved his goal.
He had not taken Mr. Liu’s life, but he had easily made him suffer for a lifetime.
“Of course, the main thing is what Master Du just said. The conditions for a Fate Pattern Swap are very strict.”
As soon as Mr. Liu said this, everyone’s attention turned back to Du An Rao.
“That’s right. Fate patterns aren’t something you can just swap at will. The Four Pillars of Destiny of the two people have to be close, and their family background and life experiences have to be similar. Only then can you briefly fool the Heavenly Dao and achieve the goal.”
According to Mr. Liu, he and his brother were born around the same time, which gave his father the chance to bring his brother back and claim they were twins. On top of that, the two of them had grown up together and were blood relatives. With all these conditions stacking together, the other side had been able to take advantage.
“Then can these swapped fate patterns be switched back?” Madam Qi no longer cared about the grudges in her husband’s family. She only cared whether she and her husband’s fate patterns could be changed back and whether the children who were destined to be theirs could return to their side.
“They can. But your problem is not only that your fate patterns were swapped.”
When they heard this, the couple’s faces changed again. Ms. Qi asked: “Do we have some other problem? Is it a curse or…”
Du An Rao shook her head and said: “If I’m not wrong, your son, the child you lost in that miscarriage, had his fate pattern swapped too.”
“What?” Ms. Qi’s face twisted for a moment. “It was them too, wasn’t it? It wasn’t enough that they stole my child, they even took his fate pattern. Those beasts… are they even human?”
Mr. Liu was also furious and heartbroken, but he still did not lose his senses: “But our child… he was never born safely. How could he have a fate pattern?”
“He really wasn’t born safely. But a child who is more than five months along already has a human form. On top of that, he died unjustly, so he naturally had a lot of resentment. After that they even…” Du An Rao paused, her face looking a bit ugly.
Madam Qi’s heart gave a hard thump. She had a feeling that her child had suffered some other terrible harm. She hurriedly asked: “Even what? What did they do to my child?”
“I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of something called Raising a Child Ghost.”
“Raising a Child Ghost?!”
It wasn’t just the couple. Everyone in the room was shocked. Ms. Qi shook all over uncontrollably. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.
“Wife! Wife!” Mr. Liu had just learned this shocking truth and had not even had time to digest it when his wife suddenly fainted, scaring him half to death.
For a while, the private room was full of shouting and chaos.
Everyone crowded around Ms. Qi, calling her and pressing on the philtrum under her nose. After a long moment, she finally woke up slowly.
The first thing she did when she woke up was grab Du An Rao’s hand and ask again: “You mean they used my child for Raising a Child Ghost. Is that what you mean?”
Seeing her like this, Du An Rao could not bear it, but she still nodded honestly: “Yes.”
At this point, Ms. Qi completely collapsed. “How could they? How dare they! I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them!”
“I know, I know. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I’m the one who hurt our child.”
Mr. Liu also regretted it deeply. He hated his father’s cold cruelty, he hated his brother’s ingratitude, and he hated himself even more. He was already this old, so why was he still so naive and stupid?
He knew his father hated him and his brother resented him, yet he still foolishly thought that he could use sincerity to resolve the grudges of the previous generation, that he could use affection and money to fill the gap between him and his brother.
In the end, he had not only hurt himself, but also the wife and child he loved most.
Overwhelmed by all kinds of painful emotions, the couple could not hold it in anymore and cried in each other’s arms in front of everyone.
Seeing this, Ms. Qiu and her son also felt bad. Blood relatives are supposed to be the people you are closest to in this world, the ones you can trust to watch your back and support you. But it is often these same people who stab you when you fall into the valley and need them the most, pushing you into an even deeper and harsher hell of endless tribulation.
They understood this all too well and could fully empathize with the couple now.
“To do something like this to an unborn child, these people are completely heartless. They don’t deserve to be called human. An An, do you have any way to help them, to let that poor child escape from suffering as soon as possible, and to make those beasts who call themselves human get what they deserve?”
“There is a way, but…”
Before Du An Rao could finish, Madam Qi, barely able to stand, stumbled over to her and grabbed her hand tightly, saying: “Master Du, please help us. Help my poor child. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. Even if you want my life, I won’t hesitate.”
Du An Rao was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: “What would I want your life for? Don’t worry. The Fate Exchange Art itself already goes against heaven, and on top of that they did something so outrageous that even gods and people would be furious. I won’t just ignore this. It’s just that…”
“Just what?”
“It’s just that if we want to free the child from suffering, we first have to find the child’s original body.”
“Original body?”
“…His remains.”
