Chapter 1272: Chapter 1273 I Will Only Marry Gu Yelin (3)
"That’s impossible! My father clearly said I was poisoned when I was about seven or eight years old, and that’s when my legs started having problems! Xiao Qing Beauty, did you get it wrong?"
"No, I would never be mistaken. I swear by the reputation of the Medicine Sect, Eddie, you were definitely poisoned from the womb. This kind of poison must be transmitted through the mother, and it takes three months of the poison dosage before the child is born poisoned. Eddie, what I’m going to say next, I hope you can prepare yourself mentally."
A strong sense of unease suddenly surged in Eddie’s heart. His long hands grasped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, his thin lips pressed together, and the eyes that always carried a smile were now darkened.
Looking at Eddie in this state, An Yiqing sighed deeply.
What she was about to say next might be a devastating blow to Eddie.
"Eddie, I don’t know the name of the poison you were afflicted with, but I’ve seen it in books. This poison is created specifically for the Dark Clan, containing an endless devouring force. The only way to counteract it is with the Holy Light Water from the church. However, during detoxification, those from the Dark Race can’t withstand the power of the Holy Light Water, and their abilities will be significantly weakened, with severe cases even leading to death."
Seeing Eddie’s face grow darker, An Yiqing paused and continued, "This poison has a pungent odor and cannot be mixed into food or water for pregnant women to ingest. Unless..."
"Unless the pregnant woman willingly consumes the poison, or is forced to swallow it through violence; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been poisoned from birth. Xiao Qing Beauty, am I right?"
An Yiqing opened her mouth but said nothing for a long time, finally nodding helplessly.
The wife of the Bruch Family Prince could not possibly be forced with violence to take any poison. No one has that capability, and no one could accomplish this without anyone knowing. So, the only remaining reason for Eddie being poisoned is that his mother willingly took the poison and did so for three consecutive months!
Even a tiger, fierce as it may be, does not eat its cubs. Why would Eddie’s mother treat an unborn child in such a way?!
"Xiao Qing Beauty, tell me this isn’t true, that everything you said is just your speculation." Eddie’s voice was somewhat weak, somewhat low, even the always cold and heartless Gu Yelin glanced at him with concern.
An Yiqing sighed deeply, shook her head helplessly, "I’m sorry, Eddie. From a friend’s perspective, I really hope these speculations are false. But as a doctor, I can responsibly tell you that unless your mother willingly took the poison for three months, you wouldn’t be in this situation."
An Yiqing’s words seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel’s back, shattering the hope in Eddie’s heart completely.
He had never met his mother. He heard from his father that his mother fell ill and passed away shortly after giving birth to him.
Blood Clan people rarely get sick. When young Eddie asked his father what illness his mother had, his father only sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.
Over time, the dutiful Eddie stopped asking. However, he always held an expectation and tenderness for his mother.
In Eddie’s heart, his mother should be the most beautiful and gentle woman in the world.
But today, An Yiqing suddenly told him that the reason he was poisoned was that his mother deliberately took poison for three months!
