Chapter 1690: Chapter 1305: Sullied_4
If it had been you who was taken away, and I didn’t know about it, she might’ve extracted half, or even more, of your bone marrow just to save her son. Maybe I’m thinking too badly of that woman from the Davis family, but who knows, things like this can always take a bad turn."
Regarding Allen, Kang Li had never mentioned anything to Captain Kang or Cai Xiufen; she didn’t want her parents to worry.
Even though Allen’s illness had already been cured with a bone marrow donation from someone else, just bringing up what happened back then—there was no need to even think about it, Kang Li already knew how anxious her real parents would get.
However, now that things had been said to this point, Kang Li knew she could no longer hide it.
But since Jiang Boya, her conveniently acquired father, was present, she planned to tell the full story a little later on.
After sitting for about an hour at Kang Li’s place, Jiang Boya got up to leave, taking all three little dumplings with him.
Watching as Jiang Boya’s car drove off in the distance, Kang Li pulled her gaze back and turned to enter the courtyard gate.
Mingrui, Minghan, and Mingwei had returned home from school. As soon as they came in, the three of them went straight to the kitchen to cook, saying that since there was no school tomorrow, they could leave their homework until the next day.
"Li Bao, who’s Allen? What’s this about extracting bone marrow? Why did they want to take yours?"
The moment she stepped into the living room, Kang Li heard Cai Xiufen throw out three questions in a row.
"Mom, you and Dad don’t worry, my bone marrow wasn’t taken..."
Sitting down on the sofa, Kang Li explained everything about Allen and Miss Lily. When it came to Allen’s background and Miss Lily, she inevitably mentioned Jiang Boya, and by the time she finished recounting the whole thing, Captain Kang’s face had sunk, and he was silent for a long time.
Cai Xiufen, on the other hand, frowned and spoke coldly: "How could that woman think only about saving her own son and ignore whether others live or die?! Is her son’s life the only one that matters and other people’s don’t?"
"Mom, you and Dad misunderstood, I think what my dad just said wasn’t quite right."
Kang Li explained, "After getting to know Miss Lily, I not only saw but truly felt that she’s a kind-hearted woman. She would never, just for Allen’s life, disregard someone else’s."
Cai Xiufen: "You’re just defending that woman because of your Allen, aren’t you?"
Kang Li: "No, I’m not taking sides for Miss Lily, nor am I letting her off because of Allen. Mom, Dad, Miss Lily really is a good person, but as for how she arranged for Xu Chunxia to be taken abroad, she really did go too far with that."
Cai Xiufen: "Chunxia only got taken abroad because that woman thought she was you! If she’d known you were Mr. Jiang’s daughter, it would have been you who suffered."
"I wouldn’t call it suffering. It was just to run a test, to see if the bone marrow matched."
Kang Li smiled, then said, "As for what Xu Chunxia said, I don’t think it’s related to Miss Lily at all."
"Then who’s it related to? That Chunxia girl almost died overseas."
Cai Xiufen’s face was not looking good.
"It has something to do with the man who took her, and also, probably, with the feelings between two people. Otherwise, if that man really liked Xu Chunxia, he wouldn’t have let her end up fainting all disheveled by the roadside in the wilderness."
Kang Li didn’t realize that what she’d just said about Miss Lily was pretty close to the real story; but to say Xu Chunxia fainting by the roadside was because of some love affair was off the mark.
Let’s put it this way: even though Miss Lily had arranged for Jack to search for Jiang Boya’s child and bring her to their country, she never intended to risk someone else’s life for Allen, even if the bone marrow matched.
Miss Lily never said this aloud, but it’s obvious from how she handled things with Xu Chunxia afterward.
The real reason Xu Chunxia was abused by Jack and fainted by the roadside was, without a doubt, because she wasn’t Jiang Boya’s daughter.
Jack was taking it out on her.
He liked Miss Lily, and by extension, really liked Allen too. But then he found out that all his efforts had been in vain.
Besides, Jack had never really had genuine feelings for Xu Chunxia from the start—he’d lied to get her overseas.
After finding out Xu Chunxia was a fake, in a fit of rage, he abused her as an outlet for his anger.
Later on, it was Xu Chunxia herself who managed to escape from the manor and wound up in the hands of the Jiang family’s second branch.
All her money was taken, and unwilling to live as a maid or housekeeper, she managed to escape again from the Jiang family’s second branch.
Exhausted and hungry, and without even a warm coat, it was no surprise she would faint while fleeing as a refugee.
"Let’s not talk about Chunxia’s situation anymore—just tell us about Allen’s illness..."
Before Cai Xiufen could finish, Kang Li smiled, "Allen’s already recovered. Miss Lily found a suitable bone marrow in their country, they never needed mine."
"Your mother and I were abroad for so long. Why didn’t you ever mention this to us?"
Captain Kang asked.
"Didn’t I? I could have sworn I mentioned it."
