Half an hour later, the door of the ward was opened from the inside by Shi Man.

Lu Xiang was the first to pounce on her. Her throat rolled up and down, but she was so nervous that she could not speak. She only asked Shi Man silently with her eyes.

The doctors outside had not yet left. Although they were very busy, they also wanted to know what she could do about this illness they were helpless against.

Shi Man nodded at her with a smile.

Lu Xiang almost cried tears of joy. She patted Shi Man’s hand gratefully and bypassed her to rush into the ward. She touched her son’s cold forehead with her own hands and was relieved. Tears fell from her eyes.

Surprised, the doctors came in to check on Yi Zheng’s physical condition. They realized that not only had his fever completely subsided, but his pale skin had also regained some color after losing too much blood. He looked like he was indeed out of danger. They could not help but look at Shi Man in shock.

“Young lady, how did you do it?” The old doctor in glasses asked the question that everyone present wanted to ask in disbelief.

Even Lu Xiang and Yi Long looked at her.

Shi Man shook her head gently and changed the topic. “How long before he wakes up?”

The doctor pondered for a moment and roughly estimated the time. “At the latest, tomorrow night. That depends on the patient’s own condition.”

“Alright, thank you.” Shi Man sent the doctor away gratefully. After closing the door of the ward, she walked up to Yi Long and his wife and said in a low voice, “Yi Zheng’s body was very hot just now. Have you seen such a situation before?”

She needed to confirm if Yi Long’s father knew anything before asking.

Yi Long and Lu Xiang looked at each other, frowned, and nodded. “We’ve seen it before, but we all thought he had already recovered. We didn’t expect him to have an attack at such a time.”

Shi Man nodded in understanding. “Then when did he first have this symptom?”

Yi Long recalled carefully and said hesitantly, “It should have been a year before Yi Zheng inherited the company. At that time, he hadn’t graduated from Cassel Academy.”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows and quickly understood Yi Zheng’s intention to hide his condition.

This was a blatant conspiracy to stop Yi Zheng from inheriting the family business.

Poisoning Yi Zheng on the eve of graduation caused a huge problem with his body, making Yi Long hesitate about the final ownership of the family business.

However, the person who poisoned him clearly did not expect Yi Zheng to be able to endure the illness for so many years without saying a word.

Shi Man knew best that it was unbearable when this illness acted up, so she felt even more guilty towards Yi Zheng.

She was about to take the initiative to explain the cause and effect of the matter when the person on the hospital bed suddenly moved his fingers.

Lu Xiang hurriedly ran to Yi Zheng’s side in surprise, but she waited and waited, but her son did not open his eyes.

Yi Long retracted his gaze silently and slowly looked at Shi Man. “Manman, do you know something? Yi Zheng won’t tell us anything, but I don’t think he will hide it from you. What do you know about his illness? Can you tell us?”

Lu Xiang slowly raised her head and looked at Shi Man expectantly.

But this time, she would not speak no matter what.

Shi Man sighed quietly and shook her head. “I don’t know. The situation is similar to what you know.”

Yi Long looked away doubtfully. Just as he was about to say something, Shi Man interrupted him.

“Uncle, Auntie, you’ve been living in fear and haven’t eaten yet. I’m afraid you’re tired. Why don’t you go eat something first? I’ll take care of this place. You can rest assured.”

Yi Long was strong and could still hold on, but his heart ached for Lu Xiang, who had been frightened time and again, so he agreed to Shi Man’s suggestion.

After they left, Shi Man slowly sat by the bed. Her warm hand gently cupped his large palm, and her eyes were filled with a gentle smile. “Open your eyes. I know you’re already awake.”

Only then did the pale man on the hospital bed slowly look up. Seeing Shi Man sitting beside him unscathed, he felt a little relieved. “It’s good that you’re fine. I’m sorry to have made you worry.”

Shi Man shook her head gently. Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and there were actually tears hidden in them. “I should be the one apologizing to you. Every time I detoxified you, I added something else.”

She thought that if she told the truth, she would anger Yi Zheng, but the guilt in her heart made her choose to tell the truth frankly.

She didn’t want this matter to become a time bomb in their future.

Unexpectedly, Yi Zheng only smiled when he heard this. Not only did the smile in his eyes not disappear, but it also deepened.

Shi Man wiped her tears and pushed his arm angrily. “What are you smiling at? Were you hit silly?”

Yi Zheng couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t even care about the wound on his head. “I’m laughing at you for being stupid. Who is your fiance? Don’t I even know this?”

This time, it was Shi Man’s turn to be completely shocked. She opened her mouth, but she could only let out a weak exclamation.. “You actually knew?”
