“Then, then what the hell is in that test tube?” I asked in a trembling voice.
Mr. Li took a look at the test tube. “The poison was supposed to be trapped in the lungs, but with the passage of time, it has leaked out. Madam’s body is gradually weakening. If we don’t deal with it in time, then…”
Mr. Li paused for a moment and said the result.
We were both shocked and happy.
We were shocked that Auntie Lan was poisoned. We were happy that this poison could still be cured!
Auntie Lan slumped on the chair.
“Mr. Li, don’t keep us in suspense. You have to continue!” I was annoyed.
Mr. Li passed the test tube in his hand to Wang You and let her deal with it. He nodded. “Nanxing, it’s a good thing that we came back in time. If we had come back a month later, I’m afraid that even the gods wouldn’t be able to save Madam.”
“Mr. Li, what do you need? I need you to treat my mother. I’ll give you anything you want!” Jing Tian was also desperate.
Mr. Li smiled. “Don’t worry. With Nanxing around, the problem will be much easier to solve!”
My eyes lit up. “You’re saying that my blood can save Aunt Lan?”
Mr. Li nodded. “Phoenix blood can cure all kinds of poisons. Have you forgotten?”
I immediately extended my hand in front of Mr. Li. “How much do you want? Take it!”
Mr. Li extended his hand and pushed my hand to the side. “Things are not that simple. We have to pick the right time. We also need a few medicinal primer.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you. You can make the arrangements. We’ll cooperate fully,” I said eagerly.
Mr. Li nodded and said to all of us, “Don’t worry. With Nanxing and me around, I can’t guarantee that nothing will happen to Madam. I’ll go and make the preparations first.”
Tears flashed in Auntie Lan’s eyes as she muttered, “How could this happen? Is it because someone wanted to harm me?”
“Mom, don’t worry. Mr. Li will definitely cure you of your illness. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
“Yes, Auntie Lan. Look at how well I am now. It’s all because of Mr. Li’s treatment. When Jing Tian found me, I was already on the verge of death. So you have to believe Mr. Li. There’s no problem. Don’t worry.”
Auntie Lan asked in a trembling voice, “Why did they do this?”
Jing Tian and I were stunned.
They?
“Mom, do you still remember who poisoned you?” Jing Tian held Auntie Lan’s hand.
Auntie Lan closed her eyes gently, tears trickling down from the corners of her eyes.
A thought flashed through my mind quickly. “Auntie Lan, are you and Xiao Zhi twins?”
Auntie Lan’s body trembled.
“It’s her?” Jing Tian caught it immediately.
Aunt Lan said softly, “We’re twins from the same mother! Why would she do this?” Suddenly, she thought of a question. “Jing Tian? Ask Mister to examine you. You’re my son. Are you poisoned? I gave birth to you after I was poisoned!”
Jing Tian held her hand. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine. I’ve been with Mister Li for so long. If I was poisoned, he would’ve noticed long ago. Auntie Zhi’s Island is owned by Nanxing. However, Auntie Zhi and her family have already left the island because something happen. I believe they’ll come to China too. Now, I need you to cooperate with Mr. Li. I will not forgive anyone who wants to harm you!”
