âPoisoned?!â
Su Yingxueâs heart had skipped a beat. She quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed to Lin Sisiâs bedside.
She had held Lin Sisiâs hand and felt her pulse. Then, she looked at Lin Sisiâs expression and widened her eyes. âSisi, how could this beâ¦â
Such a powerful poison had been Saint Ruanâs doingâ¦
But why would Saint Ruan poison her?
âDr. Su, I⦠Was I going to die?â Lin Sisiâs eyes had been filled with sorrow. She had been like a man who bled but did not cry. At that moment, her eyes had been filled with fear.
Su Yingxue held her hand tightly, giving her strength and support. âDonât worry. With me around, you definitely wonât die!â
She wouldnât die!
Su Yingxue hadnât let Lin Sisi die!
Su Yingxue had thrown the medicine box on the table and had begun to prepare the medicine.
Lin Aotian had roared until his face had been red. He had ignored his old illness and had rushed to Su Yingxueâs side. âDr. Su, you could save Sisi, right? Those imperial physicians were all trash! When they had come, they had said that Sisiâs poison had already reached her lungs and that she couldnât be saved! But your medical skills were superb. 1 had known that you could save her!â
Su Yingxueâs expression had been cold and dark, and her red lips had been tightly pursed into a line.
She hadnât answered Lin Aotian, but her hands had trembled slightly.
As time passed, Lin Sisiâs breathing had become weaker and weaker. Chu Jinling had held her hand tightly and had said to her, âSisi, donât fall asleep! Open your eyes and look at me! 1⦠Iâm so good-looking! If you close your eyes, you wonât be able to see!â
âI⦠I canât bear it either!â Lin Sisi had reached out to hug him.
She had liked him and hadnât been able to bear closing her eyes. She hadnât been able to bear leaving him!
âDr. Su, Genius Doctor Su! Hurry up! Sisi canât hold on much longer!â
Lin Aotian, who had been on the battlefield without even frowning, had been so anxious that his eyes had been red, and tears had kept rolling in his eyes.
An hour later, Su Yingxue had finally finished concocting the medicine.
However, she hadnât been in a hurry to give Lin Sisi the antidote. Instead, she had told Lin Aotian with a heavy expression, âTo detoxify Sisi, other than this antidote, there is one more thing that needs to be done. You guysâ¦Are you willing?â
âWhat else was there to be unwilling about? Saving lives was more important!â
In Lin Aotianâs eyes, his daughterâs life had been more important than the sky!
In Chu Jinlingâs arms, Lin Sisi hadnât been able to open her eyes.
He had put down Lin Sisi and had snatched the medicine from Su Yingxueâs hands. âItâs too late, give it to her!â
âNinth Prince! Cautious! This medicineâ¦It will force all the poison onto her face, and thenâ¦â
âThen what? Sisi! Sisi, wake up!â
Chu Jinling had been about to break down. He had looked at Su Yingxue with red eyes. âNo matter what! I wanted Sisi alive! She canât die!â
Su Yingxue had taken a deep breath. Her heart had ached as if someone had punched her. âShe would wake up after drinking this medicine. However, within six hours, I had to cut open her face and let out the poisonous blood. Otherwise, there would be no way to save her.â
âWhat was it? Cut open her face?â
Chu Jinling had been stunned. His lips had trembled. âWhyâ¦â Why must you be so cruel!â
How important was a womanâs appearance?
âThis⦠Why was this so? My daughter⦠Why does my daughter have to suffer like this? Dr. Su, is there no other way?â
Lin Aotianâs heart had ached.
Of course, his daughterâs life had been important!
But this had been too cruel for a girl like her!
Su Yingxue had bitten her lip. âThereâs no other way.â
If she wanted to live, she had to be disfigured!
