Why were so many experts helpless against Susu's monthly recurring side effects, yet Allen, who hadn't practiced medicine in a long time, could cure her?
Was it just because he had been an oncologist, and Susu's side effects were precisely from anti-cancer drugs?
Seeing that he still looked serious and silent, Susu cautiously reached out her needled hand, tugged his sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Don't be angry anymore, okay? I'm fine now. By chance, Allen even cured me, so his medical skills are quite good. It's a pity he's not practicing medicine anymore."
"Gu Susu, don't try that with me! If you dare to do this again, deliberately push me away, I'll... I'll give you a good thrashing!" Qin Tianyi's threatening words lacked conviction when faced with her coaxing.
"Alright, alright," Susu winked at him and said, as if coaxing a child, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault. Can I let you kiss me then?"
Qin Tianyi helplessly placed his hand on her head and said, "What am I going to do with you?" Then, with a mix of anger and possessiveness, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Holding the nutritional supplements, Ya Nan cleared her throat at the hospital room door, feeling embarrassed to watch further. "I came at the wrong time. I've disturbed you."
Susu immediately pushed Qin Tianyi away shyly and said to Ya Nan, "No, no, please come in and sit down. Keep me company."
Qin Tianyi's face stiffened again. He stood up and said, "I'll go tell the doctor you're awake," and then left the room, leaving the two women to talk.
Ya Nan put down the nutritional supplements and came to Susu's bedside. "How are you feeling? Oh my god, you scared me to death at the time. I thought you were going to die. I didn't expect that Allen to arrive and calmly cure you."
Susu asked, "How did he cure me? What medicine did he give me?"
Ya Nan recounted the entire process, sighing, "I didn't believe him at first, but seeing how steady and experienced he was when injecting you to draw blood, he's truly a very experienced doctor. Moreover, your complexion is getting better and better. Even if I don't understand medicine, I know his method is effective."
"He could actually cure my condition with just one treatment." Susu mused. Did he perhaps know this type of anti-cancer drug that Yang Sijie had injected her with, or was he very familiar with the pharmacology and properties of this anti-cancer drug?
"Yes, he's simply a miracle doctor."
Susu smiled and said, "When I recover, I must thank him properly."
"I've already thanked him on your behalf. It's just that your Mr. Qin, instead of thanking him, punched him. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have arrested Allen," Ya Nan whispered to Susu.
"Ah, he even hit someone?"
"Yes, he said Allen was in league with Yang Sijie. What exactly is the relationship between Allen and Yang Sijie?" Ya Nan was also very curious.
Susu vaguely replied, "Friends, perhaps. But Allen shouldn't have been involved in Yang Sijie's illegal activities."
"Is Allen really with Yang..."
Before she could finish, Susu saw Su Kangxi, who had just arrived at the hospital room door. She quickly signaled to Ya Nan to look at the door.
Ya Nan didn't react, so Susu spoke first to Kangxi, "What day is it today? How come you two came to see me together? Did you plan it?"
Ya Nan turned to look at Su Kangxi, who had just entered, and said with disdain, "Who would plan to meet him?"
Su Kangxi seemed a little surprised to see Ya Nan there. He smiled at her, not daring to get too close, and said to Susu, "Sister Susu, I thought it had been almost a month since your last episode. I was worried about you and couldn't reach you, so I contacted Mr. Qin and found out you were hospitalized again."
"I'm fine now, you don't need to worry about me anymore." Susu tried to sit up, and Ya Nan helped her adjust the bed.
Su Kangxi asked in disbelief, "You got through this time on your own? Sister Susu, you're amazing!"
Ya Nan was about to speak, but Susu subtly tugged her and gave Su Kangxi a "yes" as acknowledgment.
She was afraid that if Su Kangxi knew Allen had cured her, he might develop the same reservations about Allen as Qin Tianyi did, especially since they both met Allen through Yang Sijie.
Ya Nan realized Susu didn't want her to talk too much about the miracle doctor, so she didn't press further. Besides, she didn't want to talk to Su Kangxi anyway.
Both Su Kangxi and Ya Nan were intentionally probing each other's feelings but were unwilling to express themselves properly. Therefore, their presence in the room was awkward, and the atmosphere in the entire room became strange.
Ya Nan was the first to propose leaving, saying, "Susu, your Mr. Qin said he was going to find the doctor, why hasn't he returned yet? I still have things to do at my shop in Dechuan, so I'll be going now. I'll visit you and little Xingxing again next time."
"Are you leaving already? Stay and keep me company for a while longer." Susu was thinking about how to resolve the awkwardness between them, but Ya Nan was already quick to leave.
"I really have something to do. It's the same if this blockhead keeps you company," Ya Nan said and left.
Su Kangxi truly acted like a blockhead, watching her leave.
Susu anxiously said for him, "Hurry up and chase her! Speak your heart out, she will accept you!"
"Sister Susu, I have something else to tell you." Su Kangxi came to her bedside.
"What is it?" Susu was worried he wouldn't catch up to Ya Nan and would miss another opportunity.
Su Kangxi took out his phone and said, "I've gotten Sophie's contact information in Paris, as well as the address of the sanatorium where she is."
The smile froze on Susu's face. She immediately recalled Sophie's desperate and helpless eyes in that place.
At that time, she had clearly seen Sophie suffering but had been unable to help her in any way.
"Okay, send it to me."
"Sister Susu, are you alright? Sophie's experience is truly unfortunate, but you shouldn't blame yourself too much." Su Kangxi comforted her.
"Mm, I'll find a suitable opportunity to contact her."
Su Kangxi forwarded the phone number and address to her phone. Just then, Qin Tianyi returned to the room from outside and saw Susu staring blankly at her phone with a sad expression.
He greeted Su Kangxi. Seeing him arrive, Su Kangxi didn't want to intrude on their private moment. He said to Susu, "Sister Susu, I'm going to chase her. Don't worry, I won't miss the person I like again."
"Okay." Susu looked up and made a gesture for him to hurry and chase.
Qin Tianyi watched Su Kangxi stride out of the room, then closed the door behind him and asked, "What's wrong just now? What sad thing were you talking about with Su Kangxi again?"
Susu looked back at the phone number on her phone, lacking the courage to dial it.
She didn't know how Sophie's physical and mental recovery was going, or if she would blame or hate her.
She shouldn't have let Sophie help her in the first place, let alone dragged Sophie into it!
But regret was useless. She wanted to go to Paris, apologize to Sophie in person, and see what she could do to make amends, otherwise, she would never be able to live with a clear conscience.
"Whose phone number is this?" Qin Tianyi, seeing her silence, leaned closer to her and looked at her phone. "Is it from abroad?"
