Looking at Haoming like this, Dong Huiying furrowed her brow into a tight knot.
Shu Yu sat on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt. Seeing Haoming in such a state, he slightly furrowed his brow. "No matter why you didn't come home before, and no matter what your reasons were, now, your wife and us have seen you. This means we are already caught up in the mess, and regretting now is useless. You might as well be honest. This way, if something happens in the future, you don't have to be blind to it."
Haoming knew his second brother was right. Suddenly, his shoulders slumped, as if all the strength had been drained from him. "I..." He pressed his lips together, then said hoarsely, "I was in the black market, on a mission, went to the Capital, got injured, ran out of my wife's medicine, took other stuff, a Beast Pill, I can understand animals speaking."
Dong Huiying was stunned. Beast Pill, can understand beast speech?
