"Taken away?" It took Xiao Tao quite a while to digest what was said before she found her voice again, murmuring like in a dream, "Fate can be stolen?"
"For ordinary people, naturally, it's impossible." Wu Jue's expression was one of pity, with a hint of anger, "But for mages who specialize in studying these things, they can steal someone else's fate without them even noticing and make the victim feel grateful."
Xiao Tao couldn't help but shiver.
That's just how it was for her family.
Back then, when her mother fell ill with a strange disease, they almost went bankrupt trying to find a renowned doctor. Later, when her father disappeared, she dropped out of school and worked as hard as she could, but still couldn't gather enough money for her mother's treatment.
It was during that time that Mei Shuiqing appeared before her and her mother, swiftly controlling her mother's rapid aging, naturally making the mother and daughter grateful.
