For the first time, Chu Nan had the feeling he was old.
Having a niece as big as Qin Yu was nothing. After all, they had known Qin Yu since she was still a little girl. Therefore, Qin Yu would always little girl to them.
Now, she had turned into a tall and graceful lady.
Not only that, she got married without even informing them!
To a man none other than the famous Doctor Hunter!
Chu Nan felt that both he and Xu Da were starting to lag behind times. They did not know that Doctor Hunter was actually two people, and the Doctor was actually blind, to the public at least!
This blind man was now the only person in the world who could cure Xu Da and save Xiao Yu.
What a world of fantasy.
This young man was really something. Even if he hadn't done anything yet, Chu Nan was certain that Ning Chen could save Xiao Yu.
A moment ago, he was crushed by the worry that Xiao Yu was mere moments away from dying to the poison, and now, he calmly accepted the fact that she passed out merely due to fatigue.
After everyone had been sent away, Ning Chen could finally take a good look at Qin Yu.
The poison was extremely potent, putting her deep into sleep. Known as "Sleeping Beauty", the poison had entered her organs, evident from the way she looked now.
If they discovered it later, all attempts to resuscitate her would've been futile.
Fortunately, they had time, still.
Enduring the pain, Ning Chen stretched out his hand with difficulty, holding Qin Yu's hand across the bed.
"Xiao Yu, hold on a little longer! Once Chang An and Chang Le arrive tomorrow, we'll start flushing the poison out of your body. I promise you'll get better soon!"
"Xiao Yu, tell me, are you in love with your husband? Thank you! I love you too! I have fallen in love with you for a long time. This is all fated!"
"How many lifetimes did we lose only to meet now, even through hardships and challenges? You must live on, Xiao Yu, we're married! Remember our promise to stay with each other till the end of times?"
Ning Chen thought about how Qin Yu had been talking into his ear the past few days. How worried was she?
At the very least, he knew she would recover. But it wasn't the same for Qin Yu then, who was anxiously waiting for a miracle.
What a pity.
She said that there were no unforgettable moments between the two of them but boring happenings in the daily.
And those daily routines had already entered Xiao Yu's heart and become a part of her treasured memories.
While he was in a coma, he had many dreams. In the dreams, there were his parents and his unborn younger brother. This time, he was certain that the unborn child was his younger brother.
And in the dreams, Xiao Yu appeared most frequently.
In the beginning, her stupidity made him felt pity for her. But after knowing of her real identity and realizing she was only playing dumb, her attempts at dumbing herself seemed adorable.
Ning Chen reached out to touch Xiao Yu's forehead. What kind of wisdom was hidden in this little head of hers? Be it the difficult situation in the Shi family, or being surrounded by demons in the Ning family, or even being kidnapped and drugged, she was able to face it bravely.
He found out that her father was an undercover police officer, and her mother was the eldest daughter of the Qinghe Gang. Without a doubt, she was born different than the others, with a unique charm to herself.
All Qin Yu felt was exhaustion.
But her feet could not stop moving forward, and it was dark all around her.
Was this the road to the Underworld? Was she dead?
Didn't they say that the Underworld road was covered with spider lilies? Those fiery red flowers and leaves that would never see each other in this lifetime, showing despair at one glance?
Why were there no flowers? Only unending darkness?
How far would she have to go?
She could no longer walk as her breathing began to hurt.
She had to think of a way to distract herself.
She wanted to beg for Meng Po to let her off the hook; she didn't want to drink one of the old lady's memory-erasing potions.
In the lifetime that she was alive, there were too many memories that she had lost. She died before she could find all of them; a bitter pill to swallow. If only she could die with the memories of this life and resume searching for the truth in her next life, looking for the truth to her parent's death and the mysterious box.
She would look for the wealth that her parents had left for her.
She didn't need any money, all she wanted was to find those things and give them a hug as if they were her mom and dad.
There was also the Brother Doctor. She couldn't even meet him before she died, which made her imagine Ning Chen in his place.
Thinking about it made her heart ache even more.
What a sad boy. If only.... she could do a trade with Meng Po, she wanted Ning Chen to regain his sight.
