Sui Yan clung to his sleeve, "What about the military doctor? Bai Heng's military doctor?"
Qi Linhan shook his head, "That military doctor is just like Bai Heng, seriously injured. Their conditions are not good."
Sui Yan's face turned pale, "They... They will be alright, won't they?"
Qi Linhan gently patted her back, "Yes, they are very strong. They will be fine."
They didn't speak the rest of the way.
Upon arriving at the military general hospital, Qi Linhan, with the information he gathered along the way, led Sui Yan without any obstacles towards the ward where Bai Heng was.
However, they stopped not far from the ward's entrance.
At the entrance to the intensive care unit, a group of the Bai Family and a line of soldiers were standing guard.
Qi Linhan gently tugged Sui Yan, "Why aren't we going in?"
Sui Yan looked at the Bai Family's tired and worried faces, and gently shook her head, "Let's go back."
Qi Linhan frowned, "With me here, we can visit them."
Sui Yan remained silent, but shook her head again, "No need. Everyone's there. I'll only cause trouble if I go."
Qi Linhan followed Sui Yan to leave, "But your brother Bai Heng, they would probably want you to visit them, right?"
Sui Yan gave a bitter smile, "They wouldn't want me to visit them now."
Bai Heng and the others never wanted Sui Yan to worry about them.
Qi Linhan sighed, "So, what are you going to do now?"
Sui Yan walked slowly, taking a long time before finally speaking, "Can you help me get their medical reports?"
Qi Linhan raised an eyebrow, "Are you going to develop drugs for them?"
Sui Yan managed a weak smile, "That's all I can do now, isn't it?"
Qi Linhan patted her shoulder in a comforting manner, "Then let's go back first. You rest well, and I'll bring their medical reports to you first thing in the morning."
Sui Yan's voice was hoarse, "Thank you."
When they returned, Lu Yunling was no longer in the mansion.
This time, Qi Linhan had had enough. He directly forbade Lu Yunling from coming to his mansion again, and called the old house to have them keep an eye on Lu Yunling.
Sui Yan was oblivious to all of this. She spent the night hugging Ti Zi.
In her daze, she seemed to have dreamt of that man again.
The man in white, who was especially gentle to her.
The man held the girl who was cold all over tightly in his arms. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered his head to plant a kiss on the girl's forehead.
"Sui Yan, don't be afraid, I'm here... It's alright."
Sui Yan curled up, trying to warm herself, "Ti Zi, it's so cold."
The man pulled a thick blanket from the side of the bed, wrapping the girl with it, "Sui Yan..."
Sui Yan seemed to open her eyes in a daze, and gave a shallow smile, "Ti Zi, you're the best."
The man's gaze seemed even gentler. He rhythmically, gently patted the girl's back, "Sui Yan, go to sleep quickly. Don't think about those things."
Sui Yan instinctively held the man tightly. "You... must not leave me."
"Okay."
The next morning, Sui Yan woke up to find herself in bed, covered with a thick blanket.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at Ti Zi, who was sleeping under the bed. She couldn't help but smile.
Ti Zi, I dreamed of you again. If only you could turn into a real person...
"Knock knock"
Someone knocked on the door twice. Ti Zi, who was usually very alert, didn't react at all this time.
Without thinking too much, Sui Yan quickly went to open the door, afraid that Ti Zi would be awakened.
"These are the medical reports of Bai Heng and others. Do you need anything else?" Qi Linhan, standing at the door, looked a bit tired.
Sui Yan didn't notice his fatigue. She gratefully smiled, "Thank you."
Seeing that Sui Yan looked much better, Qi Linhan also breathed a sigh of relief. He reminded her, "Don't push yourself too hard. You should also take time to relax."
Sui Yan didn't take his words seriously. "Maybe, but at least not now."
Qi Linhan said helplessly, "Alright, if your lab needs anything, let someone tell me, and I'll get it to you as soon as possible."
Sui Yan looked into Qi Linhan's eyes and earnestly said, "Thank you."
Qi Linhan seemed to want to ruffle Sui Yan's hair, but he withdrew his hand halfway. "No need to thank me. It's what I should do."
After Qi Linhan left, Sui Yan went into her laboratory alone.
Looking at the pile of medicines and the medical reports of Bai Heng and the military doctor in front of her, she quickly formulated a rough prescription in her mind.
After preparing a simple mixture, Sui Yan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stood blankly in front of the lab bench for a while.
After an unknown period, she suddenly reached out to the nearby detector, and placed the receiving end of the detector on her own body...
The first thing Ti Zi did after waking up was to look for Sui Yan. It ran straight to the laboratory.
As soon as it entered the lab, it clearly saw Sui Yan holding a syringe, slowly injecting the medicine into her own body.
"Roar!"
In an emergency, Ti Zi let out a short howl and ran to Sui Yan as fast as possible.
Sui Yan was originally staring at the data on the monitor, but when she saw Ti Zi come in, she smiled helplessly, "Ti Zi, why are you here? Wait a bit longer, it'll be over soon."
Ti Zi anxiously put its paw on Sui Yan's arm, trying to stop her.
But Sui Yan was unmoved. She even smiled and pushed Ti Zi's paw away, "Ti Zi, it's okay."
She closed her eyes, feeling the changes in her body.
Ti Zi circled around Sui Yan anxiously, desperately trying to stop her.
But not long after, it saw Sui Yan suddenly cough violently, her face so pale it was almost transparent.
Sui Yan felt a severe pain in her viscera, and she could not tell where exactly the pain was. Her only thought was to hope that Ti Zi would not worry too much about her.
In a state of semi-consciousness, Sui Yan vaguely saw the man in white appear again.
She heard his trembling voice say, "Sui Yan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being useless."
It's all because he wasn't strong enough...
Sui Yan coughed a few more times, faintly tasting the metallic flavor of blood in her mouth. She slowly grasped the man's hand, "Don't...like this..."
"Ti Zi, you are the strongest..."
