Everything seemed to be a coincidence. Nan Qiao didn’t expect to meet Murong Zheng and Nan Jin after she was dragged away.
Nan Qiao didn’t say anything as she gently raised her feet and stood not far from the bed. From here, she could see Nan Jin’s condition.
“I shouldn’t—Hiss!” Nan Jin was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly felt so much pain that he almost cried out.
He wanted to clarify what had happened, but right on the heels of that, he felt a cold needle piercing into his leg, interrupting his speech.
Murong Zheng looked at Nan Jin, who was chattering non-stop, and slowly injected the liquid in the syringe into his body.
I low talkative.
Seeing that the person had stopped talking, Murong Zheng’s furrowed brows relaxed a little.
However, Nan Jin’s willpower was stronger than Murong Zheng thought. He endured the pain and looked at the spot where Nan Qiao was standing just now.
Even though he couldn’t see her, he still stubbornly stared in that direction.
“Back then, 1 believed Nan Zhi’s words and blamed everything on you without hearing your side of the story. I’m sorry that I kept blaming you.” He tried his best to suppress his voice, but his throat was very tight. If one listened carefully, one could hear him trembling from the pain.
“I don’t expect you to forgive me…” Nan Jin took a deep breath, his tone bitter.
“I just want you to give me a chance to make it up to you.”
This matter had always been a knot in Nan Jin’s heart.
Hypocrite.
Murong Zheng stood at the side and looked at the painful expression on Nan Jin’s face. This word slowly appeared in his heart.
With just a few words from Nan Jin, Murong Zheng could already outline how difficult Nan Qiao’s life was in the past.
With that, he let out a snort. It was especially obvious in the quiet research room, but Nan Jin was so focused on Nan Qiao that he did not notice it.
In Murong Zheng’s opinion, Nan Qiao was obviously living a carefree life now and did not need any so-called “compensation.” Nan Jin’s appearance would only remind Nan Qiao of her bad memories and ruin her good mood.
Wasn’t such an action considered a second round of hurt?
For no reason, Murong Zheng glanced at Nan Qiao. Looking at her cold expression, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Nan Qiao narrowed her eyes. She didn’t expect Nan Jin to say that.
The other party’s expression was sincere and did not look like he was faking it, but the Nan family belonged to a past that Nan Qiao did not want to be reminded of.
Nan Qiao took a deep breath and suppressed the bad memories that were beginning to roll around in her mind.
She subconsciously wanted to make things clear and hoped that Nan Jin would not look for her again, but when she saw Nan Jin’s sickly appearance, her cold tone softened for some reason.
“You should take care of yourself first.” She didn’t want to talk about these things again, but Nan Jin seemed to have heard something different.
He smiled happily. When he heard her talking to him, he felt that Nan Qiao had softened her attitude and still had concern for him.
Nan Jin’s eyes curved, and a smile appeared on his pale face. He looked much happier.
However, Murong Zheng was not so happy.
Normally, Murong Zheng would not care if a patient was noisy. After all, he would not be bothered to respond.
But today was different. Nan Jin’s enthusiasm for Nan Qiao made Murong Zheng feel that he was extremely noisy.
Nan Qiao touched her arm and looked at the temperature of the air conditioner. It was clearly not low, but she felt a little cold.
“Relax if you don’t want to be paralyzed.” Murong Zheng’s voice came from behind the mask. It made Nan Jin feel colder than before.
Before anyone could react, Murong Zheng exerted force on Nan Jin’s legs. Then, a crisp sound could be heard.
“MMH!”
An unbearable pain came from his wound. Nan Jin subconsciously gritted his teeth, not wanting to let out a cry of pain and show his weak side in front of Nan Qiao.
“Go out first to avoid the contagion.”
Seeing that Nan Jin’s face was much paler from the pain, Murong Zheng retracted his hand in satisfaction and said.
When Nan Jin heard Murong Zheng’s words, he subconsciously wanted to call out to Nan Qiao. After all, he still had many things he wanted to tell her. However, right on the heels of that, he felt another wave of pain, so Nan Jin could only shut his mouth.
Nan Qiao realized that the words were meant for her, but she didn’t say anything. She just nodded and left the room.
Coincidentally, she did not want to continue talking to Nan Jin either.
Nan Jin was in so much pain that he didn’t dare to open his mouth. He could only watch her leave, feeling very aggrieved.
When Murong Zheng saw his expression, he was instantly delighted.
No one knew what happened inside, but after waiting for a while, Murong Zheng walked out.
Through the gap of the door, Nan Qiao saw Nan Jin, who seemed to have fallen asleep.
“Second Big Brother, will you be infected?”
As soon as Murong Zheng went out, he heard Nan Qiao ask him.
Murong Zheng’s mood improved a lot when he saw that she was concerned about him first.
“It’s not that easy for me to get infected.”
Murong Zheng, who was rarely in such a good mood, even said a few more words.
Nan Qiao raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but think for a moment.
It was not that contagious, yet he still wanted her to come out?
She felt as if she had discovered something. However, seeing that Murong Zheng was in a good mood, she did not say anything more.
However, while she was inside, Nan Qiao had some guesses about Murong Zheng’s research.
“You’re researching this?”
Nan Qiao asked as she couldn’t help but glance at the photos on the wall. There were all kinds of bone photos and X-rays pasted on the entire wall, and many of them were labeled. Thinking about Nan Jin’s obviously problematic legs, Nan Qiao felt that she had gotten the answer.
“It’s a new illness so I’m still studying it.”
Murong Zheng nodded in acknowledgment.
In the past half a month, the hospital had discovered a completely new illness. The symptoms were that most of the patient’s wounds were showing signs of decay. Moreover, after scraping off the rotten flesh, it showed signs of decay spreading to the bones, causing even more serious symptoms. In serious cases, they would not be able to move or would have to undergo amputation.
After several investigations, they still couldn’t find the cause of the illness and couldn’t treat it effectively. The Central Hospital had no choice but to ask Murong Zheng for help. After all, it involved bones, and Murong Zheng was a rare genius so he might have a way.
Nan Qiao did not know what to say when it came to professional knowledge. Hence, she could only respond with silence.
Fortunately, Murong Zheng didn’t feel awkward at all. He didn’t get a response from Nan Qiao, nor did he react. He directly placed the rotten flesh sample he had taken from Nan Jin’s leg to the side and kept it at a low temperature.
For now, Murong Zheng had not made any major breakthroughs in this disease.
Nan Qiao also took out her cell phone and sent a message to An Nuo. She had been looking at Nan Jin and Murong Zheng just now and almost forgot that An Nuo was still outside.
She hurriedly asked where An Nuo was. An Nuo was in a wheelchair and could not move easily and thus, Nan Qiao was afraid that something would happen to her.
Fortunately, she quickly replied, saying that a kind nurse had come to help her after Nan Qiao was pulled away.
“Let’s eat?”
Nan Qiao, who was typing and communicating with An Nuo, obviously did not realize that Murong Zheng was gradually approaching. It was not until the other party arrived in front of her and made a sound that Nan Qiao’s attention was attracted.
“Huh?” Nan Qiao replied.
She subconsciously raised her head to look at the tall Murong Zheng. At this angle, she even had to raise her head to meet his gaze.
“Eat,” Murong Zheng repeated impatiently.
Although he still wanted to continue researching here, he thought about how the person inside would wake up later and talk to Nan Qiao again. Therefore, Murong Zheng immediately dismissed this thought..
