《THE WAY OF FAITH》CH.3-Epilepsy
Advertisement
"Epilepsy?What is Epilepsy?"The Taiwanese accent of the older generation was very prominent, and her eyes were full of puzzlement, doubt, and even some fear.
Looking at the grandson who was sleeping in her daughter-in-law's arms, Yu Hong Axiu was finally defeated, "Why did my family have this fate.... How could it happen to my grandson?"
"Mom, it's alright. Although Ruohao is only three months old, the doctor said that he only has intermittent convulsions, his immunity is low and prone to catch colds, and his development is slower than that of ordinary children."Ruohao's mother...and also Yu Ruoling's mother comforted her mother-in-law, who was already overwhelmed.
Li Qiao deeply understood that for her mother-in-law who only had one son, the conservative and profound concept of "honoring the ancestors and honoring the ancestors forever" for her husband's family would give her what a lot of pressure.
Now, the first grandson has an almost incurable disease.... Not to mention her mother-in-law, Li Qiao herself is not much better. She can't believe that her son, who had been pregnant for ten months and cared like her life, showed genetic lesions!
After searched the Internet for a lot of information, Li Qiao found that Ruohao was only mildly ill, and couldn't help but thank their gods again and again.
She glanced at her daughter Yu Ruoling, who was resting at home because of the holiday, thinking about how to tell the new sister, "Maybe, I should discuss it with my husband..."
"...What is Epilepsy?It seems to be very serious."Yu Ruoling, who was staring at the TV channel, dangled her feet on the chair and thought.
In fact, she was not watching TV at all. When her grandmother went downstairs, she had been eavesdropping, "It's better to pretend not to know."

The short conversation in the living room finally ended. The dining table in the left corner separated Li Qiao and her mother-in-law from Yu Ruoling. One side was sighing, and the other side was duplicitous nonchalance.
The four people under the lamp, except for the baby in the swaddle, were covered with a dark cloud over their heads.
When it comes to Yu Ruohao's congenital Epilepsy, there is one area that cannot be ignored - genetics.
Yu family's genes do not know what happened. They has inherited Epilepsy and Cardiovascular diseases in high-risk groups from their ancestors. Every generation has one or two due to high blood pressure.
The special thing about Yu Ruohao is that he was born with it, as if the young leaves that have just sprouted have decayed. He would have several seizures from time to time, his body was stiff and convulsed, and even vomited out the milk and medicine he just drank, so that the whole family did tense their nerves to deal with it every day.
As for Yu Ruoling, who was later told by her parents about the truth and seriousness of her brother's illness, she calmly accepted the truth that might break her imagination of how she and her brother would get along in the future.
At least she looks calm on the surface, and has been praised by parents for being calm and steady. As for the disappointment and injustice that once had in her heart, it have not been noticed.
At an age when she didn't understand any knowledge, she learned to hide, keep a low profile and calm down from her past experiences with her peers.
"It's useless to say it.... The teacher only likes the classmates who to pretend to be cute, and my parents also said that the children are just shy. So I don't want to tell them.... Although my brother can't speak, I still feel like telling him!”Yu Ruoling pouted and looked at her brother, silently saying these words in her heart.

Then, Yu Ruohao accidentally sprayed a bubble from mouth on his sister's nose, and the angry victim grabbed her brother's cotton, rubbing against her nose, "Yu Ruohao!You didn't let mom brush your teeth this morning!"
The little guy suddenly laughed so happily, he gave his sister the stupidest smile in the world, "Hehe~"

Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?"

All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
