Chapter 817: Chapter 820: Waiting for News
Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes and saw Yang Ming’s anxious expression. She almost couldn’t believe she could still see Yang Ming’s face. Excitedly, she asked, "Honey, am I not dead?"
"..." Such words left Yang Ming speechless, but managed to amuse him. He said dotingly, "Yes, you’re not dead."
"That’s great, I’m not dead." Xiaoxiao got up and hugged Yang Ming, shouting excitedly that she wasn’t dead.
Yang Ming hugged his wife back, saying to himself, "Yes, it’s great, you’re not dead."
They only hugged for a moment before Xiaoxiao quickly left Yang Ming’s embrace and began to ask, "How’s the son? Did he drink milk? Did he poop? Did he pee? Did he cry?"
"I’ve been taking care of him. Are you still not at ease?"
Xiaoxiao glanced at Yang Ming and continued, "Hand him over to me quickly so I can hold him."
Yang Ming had no choice but to take Liufu out of the basket and hand him to Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao took him and, after confirming that he was indeed okay, felt relieved. Only after feeling relieved did Xiaoxiao worryingly ask, "Honey, are you alright? You also sucked that poisoned blood just now."
"..." Yang Ming thought to himself, his wife just remembered him now? It seemed he had truly been overshadowed by their son, "I’m fine, I drank the medicine."
"Where did the medicine come from?" Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
"It was the young man at the door who treated you. He’s actually a disciple from Medicine King Valley. That young man did a great favor for us, risking punishment to help us..."
Yang Ming rambled on, telling Xiaoxiao about Xue Shiyi’s help, without mentioning the part where he was beaten. After hearing this, Xiaoxiao felt grateful to Xue Shiyi, but was also worried about Little Liufu’s poison. Even the disciples of Medicine King Valley couldn’t figure it out, it seemed they would have to find that Divine Doctor Xue? But time seemed to be running out.
The only hope now still lay within Medicine King Valley; perhaps Xue Shiyi could persuade his masters to help.
With concern, Xiaoxiao asked, "Honey, what if Medicine King Valley still refuses to see our son?"
Yang Ming thought for a moment and then said, "Then we can’t just stay stuck at Medicine King Valley, we have to hurry out to find Divine Doctor Xue."
"What if we can’t find Divine Doctor Xue?"
"Then it’s just fate for this child. We’ve done our best."
Hearing Yang Ming’s words, Xiaoxiao felt very down. Was it true that she was fated not to be with this child?
Yang Ming noticed his wife’s distress and quickly advised, "Honey, don’t be so pessimistic. Maybe the child isn’t poisoned at all, let’s not scare ourselves."
"Yes." Xiaoxiao agreed with him, but inside she knew well that the child was more likely poisoned, given the circumstances of their meeting and the mobilization of officers, the child was definitely not ordinary.
"Don’t think the worst. Maybe that young man will bring good news soon. Think about it, he was able to help, which means Medicine King Valley isn’t entirely unkind. We have hope."
"Yes, I’m not pessimistic. We can’t give up easily." Xiaoxiao said these words to motivate the two of them. She then looked at Liufu in her arms, "Son, you mustn’t give up easily either, okay?"
Little Liufu had already begun cooing. Although Xiaoxiao knew he was just making sounds and couldn’t understand her words, she was still happy to see Little Liufu’s response.
Afterwards, the family of three sat in the carriage, chatting while waiting for news from Xue Shiyi.
