The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

"Get up! You can't stay like this, stand up. We can discuss what's going on together and see how to solve this problem. Hurry up, get up!"

Lin Xiyue called out sweetly, and at the same time stretched out her slender hand to gently pull, but Wei Jianjun remained as still as a stone.

"Don't be so stubborn. There's always room for discussion. As long as we're open and honest with each other, we're sure to find a good solution. I hope you can let go of your worries and face this problem together."

Having no other choice, she could only continue to persuade him gently.

After speaking, Lin Xiyue looked at Molos beside her, her eyes filled with a pleading expression.

Moros shook his head without saying anything. Instead, he reached out and lifted Wei Jianjun up like a chick, then placed him steadily on the sofa.

"what--"

With a short scream, Wei Jianjun stared blankly ahead, his whole body motionless like a statue.

Then, Meros easily lifted him up and placed him on the sofa as if he were an object.

It wasn't until his body made contact with the soft sofa that Wei Jianjun snapped out of his daze, but he could only instinctively squeeze out a short interjection.

After recovering slightly, Wei Jianjun struggled to turn his eyes, first staring at the cold and stern face of Moros standing beside him, and then turning his head to look at Lin Xiyue, who was smiling sweetly at him not far away.

In an instant, it felt as if all the strength in my body had been drained away, and I slid limply down the back of the chair into the depths of the sofa.

"Alright, you should have calmed down by now, right?"

Meros didn't waste any time exchanging pleasantries with the man before him, but instead went straight to the point and gave his orders concisely.

"Then, please describe your daughter's specific situation in detail. Also, if you have any, please show us a photo of her."

Seeing that he had calmed down, Lin Xiyue immediately chimed in.

Faced with Lin Xiyue's request, Wei Jianjun immediately understood and, almost reflexively, immediately complied.

He carefully turned on his slightly old terminal, afraid that it might malfunction.

As the screen lit up, he tapped a few times, and a clear and warm photo was instantly projected into the air.

Lin Xiyue and Mo Luos looked towards the light at the same time and saw that the protagonist in the photo was an innocent and lovable little girl.

The girl looked to be only five or six years old, like a tender sprout just breaking through the soil, delicate and lovely.

She wore a pair of cute low pigtails, her bright eyes staring intently at the camera, and a sweet smile on her lips, as radiant as the warm spring sun.

On her round, rosy cheeks, beneath her crescent-shaped eyebrows, lay a pair of large, watery eyes that instantly evoked feelings of affection.

She wore a light pink tutu dress, the hem of which was as light and graceful as the wings of a butterfly in flight; on her feet were a pair of small and exquisite leather shoes, which made her look even more lively and cute.

Although her clothes were not from a famous brand, they were very appropriate, elegant, and spotless—clearly, she was a child who had been well cared for and raised in a loving environment.

"How adorable! How old is this little one?"

Lin Xiyue stared intently at the little girl in the photo, her eyes filled with tenderness, and couldn't help but ask the man in a high-pitched voice.

"Her name is Wei Jingjing, and she is five years old this year. She... she is a child I had unexpectedly, which is quite unbelievable."

I happened to be passing by the back door of a bar when I suddenly heard a faint crying sound coming from nearby.

The sound was strange, like that of a child, but very faint and weak.

So I followed the sound and eventually found the little guy abandoned in a trash can behind the bar.

The poor child was filthy, injured, and crying so pitifully.

Thankfully, I found her in time and took her to the hospital for treatment; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable…

When Wei Jianjun recalled that experience, he couldn't help but frown, his eyes filled with heartache and affection.

Lin Xiyue listened quietly as Wei Jianjun recounted this story, her heart tightening involuntarily.

She found it hard to imagine how such a young child could suffer such cruel treatment, and at the same time, she felt a greater sense of admiration for the kind and brave man in front of her.

When she saw the tender and doting look in Wei Jianjun's eyes as he gazed at his daughter's photo, it deeply touched the softest part of her heart.

"I see... So how is she now? Can I see what she looks like now?"

Lin Xiyue asked softly, her tone tinged with caution.

Wei Jianjun hesitated for a moment, his face slightly darkening, but then he nodded, opened his phone's photo album, and began to search.

"Okay, but it may take a little time... Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he swiped the screen rapidly, seemingly searching for a specific photo.

"This is it... Well, please be prepared, because... the situation isn't looking good..."

Finally, we found it! Wei Jianjun stopped pointing and prepared to show the photo to Lin Xiyue and the others, giving them instructions.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Lin Xiyue said softly, her tone full of tenderness and comfort.

In fact, when Wei Jianjun first described the situation, she felt a strong sense of familiarity.

The symptoms were exactly the same as those of the dog they had seen at the psionic center, yet they seemed different.

The dog's condition progressed much faster than the little girl's, perhaps due to species differences?

After all, the human body has a more complex structure and a relatively stronger immune system; or perhaps the girl received some medication that had a certain inhibitory effect, keeping the condition at only the initial stage.

Just as Lin Xiyue was lost in thought, Wei Jianjun quickly flipped through the photo album and found the latest photo of Wei Jingjing.

This is exactly what it is! She is suffering immense pain right now…

Wei Jianjun, his face full of worry, showed the latest photos to Lin Xiyue and the others, and thought sadly to himself.

The reason he reminded Lin Xiyue and the others before was simply to prevent them from looking at his poor daughter with strange and peculiar eyes.
