Chapter 451 Omnious Twinkle! The Innocent Lamb want to be butchered!

"Ah!?"

"D-Doctor?!" Li Xinru, startled into speechlessness by this unexpected turn of events, found her cheeks aflame with blushes, while Liu Cong seemed to have been momentarily turned to stone.

"Miracle Doctor!? What is the meaning of this!" Liu Cong managed to find his voice, albeit laced with astonishment rather than anger.

Zhang Wei, momentarily puzzled by the commotion, furrowed his brow. "I'm attending to your daughter, my good man. Why the commotion? Or would you rather she remain forever unwell?" His retort was tinged with a feigned mix of bewilderment and mild irritation, pretending not yet realizing his error. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Li Xinru, her face now hidden behind her hands in embarrassment, managed to exclaim, "Doctor! My daughter is on the bed!" indicating the actual patient.

Amidst the escalating awkwardness, Liu Dongzi coughed, trying to navigate the delicate situation. "Doctor Zhang, the person you're currently holding is my daughter-in-law, Li Xinru. Ling'er, the patient, is over there," he gestured toward the bed, hoping to gently steer the well-intentioned but clearly confused doctor in the right direction.

Zhang Wei's eye twitched as he peered down at Li Xinru, her silky hair cascading over his arm. "You're not the patient?" he asked, one eye squinting in confusion.

"N-No!" Li Xinru's voice was a mixture of embarrassment and urgency, her cheeks a vibrant shade of red, while Liu Cong's patience teetered on the edge.

Zhang Wei, with a nod that seemed more like an afterthought, turned to Liu Cong, who was practically radiating fury. "Good man, take your wife back," he suggested, nonchalantly tossing Li Xinru in his general direction.

"Ah!? No!"

Boom!

Li Xinru's scream punctuated the air, a dramatic overture to the sight of Liu Cong grappling to catch his wife, resulting in a comical heap on the floor.

Turning his attention from the domestic pile-up, Zhang Wei finally noticed the actual patient lying on the bed. "You're the patient?" he asked, his voice betraying a hint of uncertainty mixed with a newfound focus.

"Could he truly be a doctor?" The question lingered in Du Yun'er's mind, her earlier certainty now tinged with doubt.

She watched, entranced, as Zhang Wei's skilled hands moved with a grace that seemed to dance on the edge of artistry.

As the realization dawned upon her that he was genuinely treating Liu Ling'er, Du Yun'er's heart wavered. "Have I misunderstood him?" she pondered, the seed of guilt germinating amidst her previously unshakable resolve.

Indeed, before her very eyes, Zhang Wei had drawn out a sinister poison from Liu Ling'er's leg.

The truth was crystal clear: Liu Ling'er had been poisoned, and Zhang Wei was her savior, not the villain Du Yun'er had painted him to be in her mind's tumultuous canvas.

"Humph! You've dodged the arrow today! But commit just one misstep, and I'll be the one to bring you down," Du Yun'er muttered under her breath, a tinge of disappointment in her tone for not catching Zhang Wei in wrongdoing.

With those words lingering in the air like a promise, she vanished from her lookout post.

Only after her departure did Zhang Wei inside the room, cast a knowing glance at Liu Ling'er, who was experiencing a rush of sensations returning to her right leg.

With eyes as wide and wonder-filled as a fawn's, Liu Ling'er blinked up at Zhang Wei. His lips curved into a smile, a mixture of pride and reassurance in his work. "The right leg is healed. We'll tackle the left leg in a month," he declared.

"A month? Huh, why?" The question came from a place of innocent curiosity. Zhang Wei's unexpected gentleness had disarmed her, and any shields she had were now lowered.

"Why wait a month, Doctor?" she probed, seeking understanding.

Her inquiry was met with Zhang Wei's smile, now broadening, and there was a spark in his eyes—an omnious twinkle that suggested that Liu Ling'er was not entirely out of the woods—

quite literally, considering the vigilant eyes that had just departed from the branch outside.
