âThen, then what the hell is in that test tube?â I asked in a trembling voice.
Mr. Li took a look at the test tube. âThe poison was supposed to be trapped in the lungs, but with the passage of time, it has leaked out. Madamâs body is gradually weakening. If we donât deal with it in time, then...â
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.
âMr. Li, donât keep us in suspense. You have to continue!â I was annoyed.
Mr. Li passed the test tube in his hand to Wang You and let her deal with it. He nodded. âNanxing, itâs a good thing that we came back in time. If we had come back a month later, Iâm afraid that even the gods wouldnât be able to save Madam.â
âMr. Li, what do you need? I need you to treat my mother. Iâll give you anything you want!â Jing Tian was also desperate.
Mr. Li smiled. âDonât worry. With Nanxing around, the problem will be much easier to solve!â
My eyes lit up. âYouâre saying that my blood can save Aunt Lan?â
Mr. Li nodded. âPhoenix blood can cure all kinds of poisons. Have you forgotten?â
I immediately extended my hand in front of Mr. Li. âHow much do you want? Take it!â
Mr. Li extended his hand and pushed my hand to the side. âThings are not that simple. We have to pick the right time. We also need a few medicinal primer.â
âAlright, Iâll listen to you. You can make the arrangements. Weâll cooperate fully,â I said eagerly.
Mr. Li nodded and said to all of us, âDonât worry. With Nanxing and me around, I canât guarantee that nothing will happen to Madam. Iâll go and make the preparations first.â
Auntie Lan had been in a daze the whole time.
âMom!â
âAuntie Lan!â
Jing Tian and I called out at the same time.
Tears flashed in Auntie Lanâs eyes as she muttered, âHow could this happen? Is it because someone wanted to harm me?â
âMom, donât worry. Mr. Li will definitely cure you of your illness. Donât let your imagination run wild.â
âYes, Auntie Lan. Look at how well I am now. Itâs all because of Mr. Liâs treatment. When Jing Tian found me, I was already on the verge of death. So you have to believe Mr. Li. Thereâs no problem. Donât worry.â
Auntie Lan asked in a trembling voice, âWhy did they do this?â
Jing Tian and I were stunned.
They?
âMom, do you still remember who poisoned you?â Jing Tian held Auntie Lanâs hand.
Auntie Lan closed her eyes gently, tears trickling down from the corners of her eyes.
A thought flashed through my mind quickly. âAuntie Lan, are you and Xiao Zhi twins?â
Auntie Lanâs body trembled.
âItâs her?â Jing Tian caught it immediately.
Aunt Lan said softly, âWeâre twins from the same mother! Why would she do this?â Suddenly, she thought of a question. âJing Tian? Ask Mister to examine you. Youâre my son. Are you poisoned? I gave birth to you after I was poisoned!â
Jing Tian held her hand. âMom, donât worry. Iâm fine. Iâve been with Mister Li for so long. If I was poisoned, he wouldâve noticed long ago. Auntie Zhiâs Island is owned by Nanxing. However, Auntie Zhi and her family have already left the island because something happen. I believe theyâll come to China too. Now, I need you to cooperate with Mr. Li. I will not forgive anyone who wants to harm you!â
