Chapter 167 - Seeing Them Off Again (1/2)

Before leaving the hospital, Ariana sent an attachment to Chen Mu's phone. She said, ”This is an ancient acupuncture book that many people want to lay their hands on. I managed to find loopholes around it. See if you could understand the instructions for the chapter two hundred and five. That chapter teaches which acupuncture points could warm human bodies up and keep it at that temperature.”

”Although it may not be much help, but at least it's worth a try. If this is the drug in her body, then this may delay its effects. As long as her temperature is kept constant or even warmer, her organs would suffer less damage. Hopefully, we can get back in time.”

Chen Mu quickly checked his phone and opened the file she had sent him. He nodded along and gave the couple a tight hug, ”You guys must come back safe and sound. If..If you guys can't bring Qian Ling along, it is fine. Your safety comes first, especially when Ariana is carrying a little one inside of her. Remember to take the supplements.

”I prepared a few months amounts because I'm not sure how long you guys will be gone for.” After giving them advises and explaining the medical kit he had packed for them, Chen Mu started to review the file.

This time, only Lin Que dropped the couple off. Everyone gave them a farewell hug before letting go. Ariana and Chen Nan walked towards Susu's bedside. Ariana squeezed Susu's hand and whispered, ”You must fight and stay alive. We'll figure out a way to help you. We will try our best to come back as soon as we could with Qian Ling. So, please hang on.”

Meanwhile, in one of the rooms of the underground tunnel laboratories, Alexander snuck behind the counters to look for any suspicious containers with pills in them while holding a mini flashlight with his mouth. Since these laboratories were research based, almost all of the products would be liquid.

'That disgusting old man mentioned pills. There must be pills somewhere around here.' He thought as he made minimal noises while moving containers aside. Suddenly, the lights to the lab switched on; startling him greatly.

”What are you doing here?” Qian Ling asked as she stood by the door. Alexander shushed her, turned off the lights and closed the door before anyone else realizes he was there.

Whispering in a low volume, he told her about looking for the pill to cure her. She sighed, ”If the pills were in these labs, then I would be the first to find it. The white pills they give to me are distributed by random amounts. Out of nowhere, my body would feel the effects of the poison. I've tried not taking the pills during the painful moments, but ended up spatting blood.”

”I didn't dare risk it anymore and continued taking the pills they give to me.” She appreciated his thoughtfulness, but she was certain about the pills not being in the labs. If they placed it in the labs and she finds it, then they would have nothing to threaten her with.

Rubbing his chin with an obvious displeasing frown on his face, he agreed with her words. ”You're right. Can I take a look at the pills?”
