Chapter 126 - The Shadow Reappeared 1 (2/2)
”Auntie and grandpa are almost here. I informed Ariana and Chen Nan about your deep slumber situation earlier. One of them told your mom and grandpa. While we wait for them, how about we conduct some exams on your body to make sure everything is alright?”
His voice was as soothing as ever like the water flowing in a river. ”Do I have to?” she asked with a concerned tone. Finally, she diverted her attention from the rose design to Chen Mu.
He sat beside her and held her right hand, ”we need to make sure everything is fine with you so that nothing would interfere with the upcoming surgery.”
”Oh? But I want to hear their story first about why they abandoned me and their reasons for being missing from my life. I am particularly interested in this rose and the missing stem. Can the tests wait until after they come? I'll be too tired and end up falling asleep after the exams.”
He sighed and rubbed her forehead with his thumb, ”fine. But right after that, you need to get your body checked and no more naughty business or excuses, okay?”
”I promise.” She smiled and continued looking at the rose.
Lin Que barged into the room with one hand on his hip and the other hand holding the drug diagnosis reports. After some coughs, he excitedly said, ”I knew it. We missed something. All these immunosuppressants would lower her immune system, but I always suspected that there was more to this. Why would anyone need to use over ten drugs from the same category when two is enough to perform the same effect?”
Chen Mu's eyes rolled towards Susu's direction, ”they're trying to hide the real effect of the drug by using common diagnosed ones to make doctors confused...”
”That and also the fact that they are trying to confirm something. After reviewing all these immunosuppressants, I found a very minimal amount of DNA. To be exact, animal DNA.”
”...You mean that someone wanted to infuse animal's DNA into Susu? What the hell? What for?” Chen Mu couldn't believe what he had just heard. Susu couldn't accept it either as her fingers wrapped around the rose on her palm.
”I can answer those questions, but before that I need to check on my daughter. Would all of you please excuse yourselves and exit this room? I need to speak to her privately.” Zi Yan and Professor Luo Xia arrived just in time to hear the most updated information about the infused drug. She held her bag in an extremely cautious manner and tightened her grip around the straps when everyone focused their attention on her.
Lin Que nodded and dragged Lily, who was as still as a statue, with him as he exited. Meanwhile, Chen Mu was about to ask if he could be included and stay with Susu, but before he could say anything, Susu patted his hand. ”I'm fine alone. I want to hear them out before they tell everyone else their parts. I'm sure that there are some things that they would like only for me to hear. Can you wait for me outside?”
Okay, let me know if any of you need anything.” With that being said, he closed the door behind him after exiting. Susu's smile froze and her eyes were covered in frost as her tone turned neutral. ”I have a lot of questions, but you two can tell me your story first.”
