1203 A Token of Appreciation! (1/2)

Qi Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

This was also the reason why he was unwilling to help out in the beginning.

Tan Bengbeng asked, ”Couldn't we ask the Ghost Doctor for help?”

However, with the relationship he shared with the Ghost Doctor…

Qi Yan shook his head with a face of resignation and said, ”Would you believe if I said that I couldn't locate him?”

The thing that Nian Xiaomu needed the most right now was time.

Furthermore, it was better that they did not have to invite the ghost doctor over. His motto of killing one person after saving one was not a joking matter!

Qi Yan reached out and drew Tan Bengbeng into his embrace; he did not say anything, and simply hugged her.

It was rare that Tan Bengbeng did not push him away and allowed him to hug her.

She seemed to be able to sense his stress.

After he had hugged her for a long while, he brushed away the bangs on her forehead and stared directly at her bright eyes.

He asked her in a serious manner, ”I don't care what the others think, but will you blame me if I fail?”

”…”

He was always making a serious question sound like a confession.

It made her so confused that she did not know how to reply to him.

Qi Yan asked, ”Okay, I'll phrase it differently. Will you feel that I am useless if I fail?”

”No.”

”I need fresh herbs as well as the most advanced laboratory. We have none of them here, are you willing to accompany me back to the island to retrieve them?”

Qi Yan nervously held his breath after he had popped these questions.

Whatever he had said before were foreshadows, and this question was the most crucial one out of all.

He could guarantee that he would definitely fail if she did not return with him.

How could he calm down and dispense the medicine when all his thoughts were on her and their child!

”I am worried about Xiao Mumu…”

Tan Bengbeng realized that Qi Yan's gaze darkened immediately after she spoke, just like a child who was about to be abandoned. His devilish eyes even emitted a pitiful look.
