CHAPTER 1275: CHAPTER 1273: FOOLISH BOY

It was clear that Li Wan was a very meticulous woman. Her movements were skillful as she disinfected Wang Dadong with a cotton swab soaked in iodine.

"Why are you so foolish? Why didn’t you push away your aunt..." Seeing the large chunk of flesh nearly bitten off, Li Wan began to cry again.

"Auntie, it really doesn’t hurt," Wang Dadong said with a smile.

"Of course it hurts." Li Wan angrily glared at Wang Dadong.

Soon, Li Wan finished bandaging Wang Dadong’s wound.

The atmosphere became somewhat silent.

This time, the count should really be dead; after all, even the body was turned to ashes.

But Li Wan couldn’t bring herself to be happy.

She originally thought that with the count dead, she would be free. Now, it seemed she wasn’t freed at all.

She still had "addiction" inside her.

Once that thing acted up, it truly was a fate worse than death.

"Auntie, don’t blame me. I’m really doing this for your own good. Although it is painful when ’addiction’ hits, if you can hold on for ten days to half a month, the effects will weaken and you might even completely quit," Wang Dadong said after a brief silence.

A bitter smile appeared on Li Wan’s face, and she said, "You saw what just happened. I can’t even endure a day, let alone ten days. When it acts up, I feel like I’m no longer a human..."

Saying that, Li Wan lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed. Just now, when "addiction" acted up, she even said to Wang Dadong that if he gave her the "addiction," she would let him do anything...

"Auntie, you are a strong woman. I believe you can quit," Wang Dadong said.

"Dadong, I can’t quit. I really can’t. No one can quit it..." Li Wan said sorrowfully.

If she could quit, she would have done so a long time ago.

Wang Dadong took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and took out all the addictive pills he had seized from the count.

There were about ten in total. He lifted his head and swallowed them all.

Seeing this, Li Wan was shocked, "Dadong, what are you doing, hurry, spit them out!"

No one understood better than Li Wan how terrifying "addiction" was. Just one pill could make a person dependent, two or three would make them completely addicted. For Wang Dadong to take ten at once, the consequences were unimaginable.

Wang Dadong ignored Li Wan and directly swallowed all ten pills.

"Spit them out quickly!" Li Wan grabbed Wang Dadong’s arm and shook it vigorously.

After a moment, as if remembering something, she said, "Dadong, let’s go to the hospital. There’s still time to have your stomach pumped."

Wang Dadong shook his head and said, "Auntie, I’m not going to the hospital."

Li Wan painfully closed her eyes, "Dadong, why put yourself through this? Your auntie is already a wreck, and you’re still so young..."

Wang Dadong said very calmly, "Auntie, didn’t you say no one can quit ’addiction’? I’ll join you and quit it together."

"Why are you so foolish? What if you can’t quit it?" Li Wan cried.

Actually, many people get addicted because they don’t believe they can’t quit.

But once they get addicted, it’s too late to realize they can’t quit.

And the dependency from "addiction" is ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than regular drug addiction.

"Auntie, trust me, I can definitely quit it. So, don’t give up, let’s overcome it together!" Wang Dadong said earnestly to Li Wan.

At this moment, Li Wan really did not know what to say.

To prove to her that "addiction" could be quit, Wang Dadong actually took the "addiction."

"You silly child, you always call me Auntie, but do you know, I’m not even really part of the Lin Family, I just happened to save Little Yan..." At this point, Li Wan was already in tears.

Only after hearing Li Wan’s account did Wang Dadong understand what was going on.

It turned out, Li Wan wasn’t originally a member of the Lin Family; she was merely a distant relative of a side branch, and not even her husband was named Lin.

The reason she was considered a part of the Lin Family was because she had saved Lin Shiyan, a grace answered by Lin Tian.

Although he was somewhat surprised, Wang Dadong did not regret taking the "addiction" for Li Wan.

Wang Dadong smiled and said, "Auntie, even if you aren’t a member of the Lin Family, even if you were just a stranger, you saved Little Yan’s life, and just for that, it’s right for me to do anything for you and call you Auntie."

Seeing the young face with a bright smile showing white teeth, Li Wan’s emotions were quite complex.

Considering, she and Wang Dadong were not familiar; they had only met three times in total. Yet he was willing to risk addiction for her.

It seemed there was much she wanted to say to Wang Dadong, but she didn’t know what to say when the words came to her lips. In the end, she just said, "Silly boy, when ’addiction’ acts on you, don’t come crying to Auntie."

Wang Dadong laughed, "Don’t worry, Auntie, I’m not a child. How could I cry?"

Just then, Wang Dadong’s phone rang.

It was Lin Shiyan calling, asking why he hadn’t returned.

On the phone, the female CEO seemed somewhat displeased.

Of course, Lin Shiyan was unhappy. She had left work early happily, only to find not a ghost in the house.

Wang Dadong hung up the phone, looking a bit troubled, about to speak, but Li Wan said first, "Was that Little Yan? You should go back and keep her company since it’s so late. She must be missing you."

Although she said this, Wang Dadong could tell Li Wan really didn’t want him to leave.

In fact, with so much happening, Li Wan indeed needed someone to stay with her.

Wang Dadong took a deep breath and said, "Auntie, I won’t leave tonight. I’ll stay with you."

Hearing that Wang Dadong wasn’t leaving, Li Wan’s eyes showed a hint of delight, but she quickly restrained it and said, "Then, what about Little Yan?"

"I already told her, she won’t be angry," Wang Dadong said with a smile.

However, his heart clenched slightly as the female CEO had just told him on the phone to come back whenever he wanted.

It was clear Lin Shiyan was angry, but Li Wan needed him more.

Besides, Wang Dadong did all this for Lin Shiyan as well, and he would explain it to her little by little later.

"No problem, Dadong, you should go back. Auntie is fine, been used to it for so long..." Li Wan was a clever woman; she certainly knew Wang Dadong was lying.

After all, no woman would agree to her man staying out all night, no matter how legitimate the reason.

"Auntie, you know, I just took ten ’addiction’ pills. I’m afraid I’ll scare Little Yan if I go back," Wang Dadong said.

Li Wan was silent for a moment, then sighed again and said, "Alright, you stay, silly boy."
