Chapter 186 Quickly Tell Us the Remedy for the Virus
The ward was bathed in warm yellow light.
Su Yingxue sat by the bed, feeding Tan Zhengchu porridge spoonful by spoonful, her movements gentle and meticulous.
Tan Zhengchu leaned against the headboard and opened his mouth cooperatively; everything looked so peaceful and warm.
"Zhengchu, eat some more. You need to eat more so your body can recover faster."
As Su Yingxue spoke, she scooped up another spoonful of porridge, blew on it gently, and handed it to Tan Zhengchu.
Tan Zhengchu opened his mouth to take it, and just as he swallowed the third mouthful, his expression suddenly changed, and his brows furrowed tightly into a knot.
He clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain.
Su Yingxue's heart clenched, and she almost dropped the spoon in her hand. She asked anxiously, "Zhengchu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tan Zhengchu gritted his teeth, let out a muffled groan, and tried to endure it, but the excruciating pain grew more and more intense.
He waved his hand and said with difficulty, "I... I'm fine, it's just that my stomach hurts a little, it'll be fine in a bit."
As she spoke, her body slid uncontrollably toward the edge of the bed.
He struggled to get out of bed and staggered toward the bathroom, each step arduous.
Su Yingxue quickly got up, wanting to help him, but saw that Tan Zhengchu had already entered the bathroom.
Immediately afterwards, his heart-wrenching vomiting sounds came from inside.
Su Yingxue stood at the bathroom door, her eyes instantly reddening, her heart aching as if being pricked by a thousand needles.
She knew in her heart that Tan Zhengchu had lost a lot of weight recently, all because of the virus.
If things continue like this, what will become of us?
The vomiting stopped after a long while.
Tan Zhengchu staggered out, leaning against the wall, his face ashen.
Su Yingxue rushed forward and hugged him tightly from behind.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled with sobs: "Zhengchu, how could you let me see you in so much pain? I'm so scared, I really don't know what to do."
Tan Zhengchu turned around with difficulty and grabbed Su Yingxue's hands.
Her eyes were gentle yet firm as she softly comforted Yingxue, "Yingxue, don't cry. I'm fine. My stomach was just a little upset earlier, but it's much better now. Don't worry."
Su Yingxue shook her head desperately, crying even harder: "No, Zhengchu, I'm afraid even if we catch Weihao, your body won't be able to wait. I can't bear to think about it. What will I do if you're really gone? My world will be completely dark, and I'll be all alone..."
The thought of possibly losing Tan Zhengchu filled Su Yingxue with fear and unease, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss of darkness.
Tan Zhengchu raised his weak hand and gently wiped away the tears on Su Yingxue's cheeks.
His fingers trembled slightly as they traced her face with boundless tenderness.
Then, he flashed a beautiful smile, trying to dispel the gloom in Su Yingxue's heart, and said softly, "Yingxue, don't cry, look at you, your eyes are all swollen from crying."
Su Yingxue was filled with grief, her eyes reddening, and she choked out, "Zhengchu, how can I not cry? I watched you suffer from this illness, and I was afraid... I was really afraid of losing you."
Tan Zhengchu's eyes were full of heartache as he pulled her into his arms.
He held her tightly, as if to give her strength through his embrace.
He whispered in her ear, "Yingxue, don't be afraid. With you by my side, I have the courage to face all of this."
Su Yingxue lifted her head from his embrace, looking straight at Tan Zhengchu, tears welling up in her eyes once again.
She gripped Tan Zhengchu's arm tightly with both hands and pleaded, "Zhengchu, you mustn't give up, you know? My babies and I can't live without you. If you leave, our world will collapse."
Tan Zhengchu patted her back gently, nodded slightly, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Yingxue, I will not give up. I can't bear to part with you or our family. I still want to watch the children grow up and grow old with you."
Hearing this, Su Yingxue felt slightly comforted, stopped her tears, and forced a brief smile.
When Tan Zhengchu saw her smile, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He gently stroked her hair and softly praised, "Yingxue, you look so beautiful when you smile. From now on, I will only allow you to smile and will never let you shed another tear."
Su Yingxue burst into laughter through her tears, playfully scolding, "You're just good at making me happy."
But before her smile could fully bloom, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and her brows furrowed again.
Looking at Tan Zhengchu, she asked with concern, "Zhengchu, you vomited after eating just now. If you don't eat, won't you starve to death?"
Tan Zhengchu gently pinched her cheek and comforted her, "Silly girl, don't worry about this. Lin Quan told me that even if I can't eat, I can survive on IV fluids and won't starve to death. Don't worry."
Su Yingxue breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the worry in her eyes still lingered.
She secretly vowed to do everything in her power to help Tan Zhengchu recover, no matter the cost.
……
The lights in Lin Quan's laboratory were stark white.
Various high-precision equipment are neatly arranged, gleaming with a cold, hard metallic luster.
A suffocating tension filled the air.
Wei Hao, tied to a chair, had disheveled hair and a look of fear and stubbornness in his eyes.
His mouth was tightly sealed, but his body was straining and he dared not relax in the slightest. He knew very well that once he fell asleep...
When the effects of the "devouring" drug take hold, serious problems will arise in the body, ultimately leading to death in endless pain.
Lin Quan stood to the side, a cold smile curving his lips.
I raised my hand and pressed play, and a soothing lullaby began to play.
He glanced at Wei Hao and said leisurely, "Wei Hao, if you're tired, just take a nap. What's the point of struggling?"
His tone was as if he were chatting casually, but his eyes revealed a scrutinizing gaze.
Upon hearing this, Wei Hao's eyes widened instantly, and he glared fiercely at Lin Quan as if he wanted to tear him to pieces with his gaze.
It made muffled groans and kicked its legs desperately, trying to break free of its restraints.
The melody of the lullaby gradually seeped into my ears.
Wei Hao's eyes grew heavier and heavier, and his eyelids drooped uncontrollably.
But he continued to resist desperately, straightening his legs and trembling violently.
The muscles in his face contorted in extreme pain, and his eyes began to roll back.
Lin Quan watched Wei Hao struggle quietly, a thought flashing through his mind: "Serves him right, this is retribution for his many evil deeds." But looking at Wei Hao's extremely painful appearance, he inexplicably thought of Tan Zhengchu, wondering how he was doing now.
A moment later, Lin Quan walked steadily to Wei Hao and suddenly ripped the tape off his mouth.
Wei Hao was panting heavily, before he could even start cursing.
Lin Quan leaned down and stared straight at him.
Then, in a cold tone, he said, "Wei Hao, you only have one choice now: tell me how to get rid of the virus. Otherwise, you can just wait to suffer in this agony until you die."
