The History of the Mermaid's Struggle

"No, Dad, it hurts..." This sentence kept recurring in the doctor's mind, lingering like a magic voice.

He held his head in pain, and the picture in his brain became clearer and clearer.

He saw a man with a blurred face, let out a nervous laugh, and took the sleeping Xiaohan away from the bed.Xiaohan yawned, opened his eyes in a daze, and put his arms around the man's neck.He knew that person, so he didn't feel scared, but asked suspiciously: "It's not yet dawn, where are we going?"

The man's mouth opened and closed, and he said something that made Xiao Han very happy, giggling.But strangely, what the man said did not remain in the doctor's memory.

They walked out of the gate all the way, along the path to the beach...

The scene that followed was extremely bloody, and the whole process of violence was as clear as engraved in his mind, but it was silent, like watching a fierce mime.

Xiaohan struggled desperately, scratching the man's face, and the man became so angry that he grabbed his arm and twisted the joint until he dislocated it.He pressed Xiaohan on the shallows, his knees pressed against his back, and his hands gradually moved down to the hips, but the hard scales blocked his exploration.The man tore the scales irritably, and pulled out all the protection that was in the way, a lot of blood gushed out, and Xiao Han was so painful that he fell into a coma.

Afterwards, it was the beast's behavior. The only thing in the doctor's mind was the man's continuous panting, hitting his eardrum one after another.

The torture lasted for a long time, until Xiaohan turned pale and remained motionless, the man stopped the brutality.He got up to straighten his clothes, only to find that Xiaohan, who was supposed to be unconscious, was staring straight at him with his eyes open.What the child said completely aroused the man's anger.

He grabbed a stone, hit Xiaohan on the head a dozen times, and then fled.

The memory came to an end here, the doctor gasped heavily, and drank the ice water on the table in one gulp.He thought about it over and over again, and finally saw the true face of that blurred man...

He stood up holding his head, feeling dizzy.

The doctor walked to the window and looked out through the gap in the curtains. It was sunny outside, but he was in darkness.

Jasmine was swimming around in the pool, looking in this direction from time to time.The doctor knew very well that he didn't find himself, but was looking at Xiaohan's room on the second floor.

Even though he was physically and mentally exhausted, he really wanted to rest in Jasmine's gentle embrace, but he couldn't.Xiaohan disappeared, he didn't know how to face him, how to say it.He huddled in the control room like an ostrich, thinking wildly, afraid that Xiaohan would be attacked by other mermaids, and even more afraid that Jasmine would know the truth.

If he knew everything, would he forgive his original decisions and actions?

The doctor was very depressed. He sat on a chair and watched No. 99 use the computer to analyze where Xiao Han might go.The universal robot is very efficient. She marks it on the map and will start searching next.Including wind direction, ocean currents, moving fishing boats, temperature changes, and even food, may cause Xiaohan to swim to any strange sea area.

"When will Zhao Pu arrive?" After a long silence, the man finally said that he needs his elder brother now.

"Mr. Zhao is on his way, please stay calm."

The doctor glanced out of the window again, ordered No. 99 to continue analyzing Xiaohan's escape route, and then went back to the study alone.He drew the curtains to block out the sunlight, and quietly looked at a group photo on the desk.

That was the only photo left when Jasmine was pregnant. He was nestled in the arms of a man, holding his swollen belly with both hands, and his face was full of maternal brilliance.

The doctor looked at it for a while, then put the photo upside down on the table, he couldn't meet Jasmine's eyes right now...

Compared with the gloomy inside, the outside is a world full of life.But the whole day, Jasmine was in a state of anxiety, since the doctor went to see Xiaohan and never came back. No. 99 took him to the pool, and only appeared once after that, delivering some food and fruit.He had an intuition that something was wrong with Xiaohan, no matter how he asked, No. 99 would not say anything, but just told him to relax.

It's okay not to say that, the more he said that, the more worried he became, and he believed that something big happened at home.

Whether it's Xiaohan or the doctor, he doesn't know.

He wanted to crawl into the house to see the situation, but he was afraid of causing trouble.After all, he doesn't even have any legs now, and if something happens, it will be a hindrance, not only can't help him, but someone else will take care of him.

After waiting anxiously for a whole day without seeing the doctor or Xiaohan, Jasmine became more and more anxious.It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Zhao Pu came back in a hurry, and he realized that the matter must be serious, otherwise he wouldn't have returned in such a hasty manner.

The helicopter stopped in the clearing and did not drive away this time.

"Mr. Zhao!" Jasmine shouted from the pool, waving to him.Zhao Pu looked this way, whispered a few words to No. 86 who was traveling with him, and then walked into the house.

According to what he knew about the doctor, he must have collapsed now, and Zhao Pu didn't intend to make Jasmine worry blindly before he comforted his younger brother.

"Did something happen to Xiaohan?" Jasmine lay on the side of the pool, looking anxiously at No. 86.

"Jasmine, calm down first, everyone is fine." Number 86 was tasked with keeping an eye on Jasmine, and Zhao Pu was worried that he would blame the doctor if he found out Xiaohan's disappearance, or go looking for the child alone in a rage.Things are in a mess now, and if something goes wrong, there is no way to solve it.So No. 86 planned to hide the fact that Xiaohan ran away from home and the doctor collapsed from Moli: "Master Xiaohan was angry with the doctor, so he made a big fuss. Mr. Zhao came back to give him psychological counseling."

"Really?" Jasmine was a little skeptical. If it was just a quarrel, why didn't the doctor come and tell him, "Take me to see Xiaohan. I'm worried about him, and I'm also worried about the doctor."

"That can't be done." Seeing that he didn't believe it, No. 86 had no choice but to continue: "Master Xiaohan's mood is very unstable. He thinks that the doctor likes you so he doesn't need him anymore. If you appear now, he will only make him feel more uncomfortable." control."

As if considering the authenticity of the words of No. 86, Jasmine was silent for a while, and finally chose to believe it.

"Then Xiaohan is okay now." He looked at the window of Xiaohan's room, the curtains were always drawn, which always made him feel uneasy.

"Look, I just came back, and I don't know the specifics yet." What he said was much more wrong, and he had to be careful not to let Jasmine see the flaws: "But with Mr. Zhao around, there won't be any major problems, but you, Didn't you have lunch at noon?"

There were only a few mouthfuls of food placed by the pool, most of which remained unmoved, not because it didn't suit his taste, but because he was too worried and had no appetite at all.

"I'm very worried about Xiaohan and the doctor. I can't eat any." Jasmine replied honestly, but he rolled his eyes and said again: "Of course, if I can have some chocolate mousse or golden and crispy pine Biscuits, I think I can force myself to eat a few bites."

Worrying is fake, but wanting to eat well is real. No. 86 smiled and stood up quickly: "Okay, I'll make an exception and cook you a big meal today."

After successfully distracting No. 86 with the matter of cooking, Jasmine snorted coldly, and quickly went ashore and crawled towards the house.

Is he really playing him as an idiot with low IQ? It's not like he hasn't seen Xiaohan collapse before, and the crying can shatter the glass.If the little idiot was crying and disobedient, why didn't he hear his voice all day today?Coupled with the absence of the doctor, Zhao Pu rushed back with a hasty look on his face. No. 86 lied to him, and Jasmine concluded that something serious happened at home.

He crawled to Xiaohan's door, put his ear to the door and listened for a while, but there was no sound at all.So he boldly pushed the door open, and there was no one in the room.

What's going on, where is Xiaohan?

Just when Jasmine was wondering, there were some slight noises from the next room.He remembered that there was a study next door, and for the convenience of taking care of Xiaohan, the doctor's study and bedrooms were all around.

Jasmine crawled over carefully, and heard such a conversation coming from inside.

"After finding Xiaohan this time, I will take him out of here. You can't take good care of him at all." It was Zhao Pu's voice, very angry.

Xiao Han is gone?Jasmine trembled, when did it happen, why didn't everyone tell him.He really wanted to rush into the room angrily, questioning them for concealing the fact that Xiaohan disappeared, and told him rationally that he should not act rashly.

He tried his best to put his ear on the door panel, listening intently to the conversation inside, followed by the doctor's weary answer.

"Even if I am not a good father, you have no right to deprive me of the right to take care of him. He is my baby, and I will not give him to anyone, not even you." His voice sounded tired, but Unwilling to give in at all: "Brother, you have so many things, you are famous and respected overseas, why do you want to grab the baby from me?"

"Z, you need to be more mature, it has nothing to do with me. Facts have proved that you can't take into account the feelings of Jasmine and Xiaohan at the same time, which caused him to run away from home." Not to be outdone, Zhao Pu said aggressively: "I didn't force you before. , because you put all your feelings on Xiaohan, now that you have Jasmine, it's time to let go."

"You are uncles and nephews..." The doctor said painfully: "Do you want to repeat the tragedy of your parents? Isn't your mother suffering enough, and you still have to walk the same path as him? It is you who should mature, you are more mature than me Be more aware of what can and cannot be done.”

"I won't let Xiaohan get pregnant." Thinking of his parents, Zhao Pu softened his tone.

"That's not the point." The doctor interrupted him impatiently: "The point is that you are blood relatives, and incest will be punished by God!"

The room fell silent, and no one spoke, as if they were deep in thought.

After a long time, the doctor spoke again: "I have something to ask you, do you still love Narcissus? If he is still alive, will you let Xiaohan go."

"Z, you killed him yourself, so don't make such unnecessary assumptions." When the name Narcissus was mentioned, Zhao Pu's voice became obviously agitated, and it took him a long time to calm down his excitement: "I said, Don't mention that name again."

Who is Narcissus?Jasmine frowned, feeling that this family was full of secrets, and everyone had a terrible past.

"I'll give you back the narcissus, you can give up Xiaohan." The doctor said firmly.

"Z, are you sure you're okay?" Zhao Pu felt uneasy about his younger brother's nonsense, Narcissus had been dead for a long time, didn't he tell him by himself?

"I'm fine, I'm just... a little tired..." The conversation was interrupted again, and the two brothers had their own concerns, and they were relatively speechless.

"Brother." Just when Jasmine thought they would not talk anymore, the doctor called Zhao Pu again. His voice was very hoarse, as if he was desperately suppressing and on the verge of collapse: "You have brainwashed me."

Declarative sentences, categorically.

"Really?" Zhao Pu did not refute.

"The person who raped Xiaohan wasn't Narcissus...I remembered what happened that day..." Jasmine opened her eyes wide and listened carefully to every word they said.This conversation mentioned a stranger named Narcissus, and it was related to the incident that hurt Xiaohan, but the doctor said that he was not the one who raped Xiaohan.

What is the situation and why is it so complicated?

"So what." Zhao Pu was still very calm: "You are my only younger brother, no matter what you do wrong, I will help you."
