Chapter 1626: Chapter 1626: Slept for Two Whole Days
Ansel’s eyes lit up. “Daddy, do you know how?”
The child clearly wanted Ruan Tianling to tell the story. Even if he didn’t know how, he would have to.
Jian Yufei didn’t hesitate to sell him out: “He does. He tells great stories. Ruan Tianling, isn’t that right?”
Ruan Tianling glared at her, thinking, “Since when did I know how to tell stories?”
Jian Yufei’s hand, placed at his waist, kept pinching him. Helpless, he nodded, “Yes, I do.”
“Daddy, I want a thrilling story,” Ansel demanded excitedly.
Seeing how he was willing to stay awake just for a story, Ruan Tianling didn’t mind entertaining him.
He sat down beside the bed, his voice deep as he said, “I’ll tell you a true story.”
“Alright,” Ansel said, listening attentively.
Ruan Tianling took a mont to gather his thoughts before starting slowly, “A long, long ti ago, in a remote mountain village…”
Upon hearing such a cliché opening, Jian Yufei couldn’t resist poking fun.
“Isn’t this way too formulaic?!”
He was telling a ghost story. Ansel had grown up abroad, and although he had learned Chinese, he had little exposure to Chinese culture.
Especially to ghost stories as authentic as Maotai liquor.
So he listened intently but didn’t feel scared or nervous at all.
He wasn’t afraid because he knew there were no ghosts in this world, and ghost stories didn’t scare him…
But Jian Yufei found herself shivering a little as she listened.
Ruan Tianling’s voice was steady and deliberate, telling the story more like reading one, plain and unadorned.
Ansel listened with great interest but ultimately couldn’t resist his drowsiness. He closed his eyes and fell asleep…
Ruan Tianling stopped narrating, and Jian Yufei stepped forward to softly call Ansel’s na. He didn’t respond at all.
“What kind of virus is this? Why does he keep wanting to sleep?” Jian Yufei asked sorrowfully.
Ruan Tianling shook his head. “I don’t know either. They’re still researching it.”
“Who knows when they’ll figure it out,” Jian Yufei said, deeply worried.
Ruan Tianling’s gaze darkened. He too hoped the cure could be developed; otherwise, they’d all have no choice but to go back…
This ti, Ansel remained in a deep sleep for two whole days.
Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling took turns watching over him for those two days.
During that ti, Jian Yufei’s heart was constantly stretched taut, unable to relax even for a mont.
Even in her sleep, her dreams were restless and uneasy.
It wasn’t until Ansel woke up that she finally exhaled in relief.
But the little boy had lost weight, and his complexion appeared unusually pale.
Ruan Tianling had consulted nurous dical experts to treat and study the virus inside Ansel, but two days had passed without any progress.
Back then, when Chou Yinbo poisoned Ruan Tianling, they couldn’t find a cure either.
Now Ansel was poisoned, and again, no solution could be found.
Jian Yufei began to realize that there are things in this world far from ordinary—like these viruses.
Because such matters can only be encountered by those who stand at certain heights.
Ansel woke up, and Jian Yufei and Mo Lan stayed by his side, chatting with him. But after eating, taking a bath, within half an hour, he fell asleep again.
Jian Yufei felt like she was on the verge of breaking down.
Watching a lively, adorable child stay in a constant state of slumber, his body growing thinner and weaker day by day, no parent could accept such a thing.
But apart from waiting, she could do nothing.
Ruan Tianling shared the virus data and docunts with Xi Mubai and Li Mingxi in A City, asking them to assist in developing a cure.
