"But as far as I know, the cycle of this poison is only thirty days. If we can’t find the antidote within thirty days, the body will ulcerate and die..." Situ Yan glanced coldly at Steve.
Steve fell to his knees with a thud: "Young Master... I will do my best!"
At that mont, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Xia Xini rushed in, looking at the injured Situ Yan.
She suddenly drew her pistol, aiming at Steve: "I warn you, if you don’t cure Young Master, you’ll be buried with him!"
"Put the gun down." Situ Yan looked at Xia Xini, raising an eyebrow, and coldly ordered.
Xia Xini looked at Situ Yan with heartache.
She put away her pistol, walked to the bedside, and looked at the bandage on his chest and the blood in the trash bin on the floor.
"Yan... How could you act alone? It’s very dangerous, don’t you know that?"
Situ Yan looked at her, his dark pupils contracted. "Last night, I was indeed impulsive... But luckily there was..." He suddenly stopped mid-sentence. The image of Xia Xiaonuan’s determined face from last night flashed in his mind, a mist rose in his deep, dark eyes.
"Luckily there was what?" Xia Xini asked, puzzled.
"Nothing." Situ Yan said indifferently, his cold eyes suddenly glaring at Xia Xini: "Didn’t I tell you, unless absolutely necessary, do not co here?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve been very careful!" Xia Xini said aggrievedly, "When I heard you were injured this morning, you have no idea how anxious I was! I couldn’t reach you by phone, so I rushed here..."
Situ Yan’s gaze softened slightly, but he still sounded impatient: "I’m fine! The best support you can give is to do your part well!"
"Yan..." Xia Xini bit her lip: "If sothing happened to you, what’s the point of everything I’ve done?"
Situ Yan looked over at Steve: "You can go now."
"Yes, thank you, Young Master... Thank you!" Like being pardoned, Steve stood up gratefully and left.
The silence returned, Xia Xini stepped forward and suddenly hugged Situ Yan from the side: "Yan... I will never let anything happen to you! I will get the antidote for you!"
Situ Yan frowned, grabbed her shoulders, and gently pushed her away.
He showed a slight smile: "I know you care about . Don’t worry, for your sake, I won’t die!"
Hearing this, Xia Xini’s face showed a glimr of joy: "Really?"
"Of course!" Situ Yan wiped her tears and softly said: "But you don’t need to worry about stealing the antidote! Because you have more important things to do, understand?"
Xia Xini, feeling sowhat flattered, looked at Situ Yan with a blush: "Okay... I will do as you say!"
On the surface, she agreed with Situ Yan, but in her heart, she made a firm decision; she must go to Nangong Yaoling to find the antidote!
...
In the study, Xia Xiaonuan was frantically searching through boxes and cabinets.
Nangong Yaoling’s desk, drawers, bookshelves, cabinets...
But she couldn’t find the antidote anywhere!
Just as she was busy and sweating, becoming more and more frustrated, suddenly, there was a knock on the door!
A strange voice called out from outside: "Young Master, are you in there?"
It was Wu Da!
Xia Xiaonuan’s hands shook, and with a "bang," she knocked all the books off the bookshelf.
Amidst the spread of book fragrance, a book hit Xia Xiaonuan on the head, causing her to fall to the ground with a cry of pain.
Wu Da rushed in imdiately.
"Young... Young Madam? Are you alright?" Wu Da exclaid in surprise, quickly helping her up.
Xia Xiaonuan rubbed her head and looked at Wu Da’s honest, bewildered expression.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
