“Of course, it has something to do with it! If you hadn’t studied herbal medicine, you wouldn’t have gone to that so-called research institute and met that b*tch who put you through this!” Michelle blamed everything on her son’s profession.
‘If he hadn’t studied this, he wouldn’t have gone there and suffered so much. Thinking back, I shouldn’t have let him learn herbal medicine from Dominic in the first place.’
Austin grew somewhat upset when he heard what his mother said. “If that’s the cause, perhaps you shouldn’t have given birth to me. I wouldn't have suffered if I weren’t even born, right?”
“Are you…” Michelle also got upset and was on the verge of crying. “Are you blaming me now?”
“No, I’m just trying to point out that it has nothing to do with me learning herbal medicine. The guilty ones are the perpetrators who don’t value human lives, not us, okay?” Austin held his mother’s shoulder.
Then he patiently continued, “I know you feel bad for me, but you shouldn’t say that. Perhaps I was destined to suffer the ordeal, and there was no way I could avoid it!”
Michelle looked at him in astonishment. Although her son had studied medicine and had read ancient texts, he rarely talked about destiny and did not quite believe in it.
“Mom, let’s put that aside first. I would like to know whether Rhea Moore is truly dead,” he asked urgently. He wanted to ask that first, but his mother interrupted him.
“Of course she is!” Michelle wiped her tears from the corners of her eyes and snorted. “She got off too easily to die just like that! Your dad and I wanted to ensure it, so we used our connections.
