My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 863
Chapter 863: Life, Death
Leng Zhiyuan went to look for Ye Xiaotao. She passed the door of the guest room before she stopped in her tracks because she saw Ye Xiaotao, and Ye Xiaotao was standing in Leng Mu’s room.
Leng Zhiyuan stood by the side of the door to look on. Ye Xiaotao sat down on the chair by the side of bed. She took a leaf that she’d plucked from somewhere and used her left hand to support her cheek. The right hand that she used to hold the leaf was feeling bored as she scratched the blanket that was covered over Leng Mu, and she was muttering to herself —
“Uncle, oh, that’s not right. Dad, I think I have the need to introduce myself first. My name is Ye Xiaotao. Ye from Ye Xiaotao, Xiaotao from Ye Xiaotao. In the future, dad, you do not have to be polite, just call me Xiao Tao. I have married your son. I am your daughter-in-law now.
“Dad, it is not that I am criticizing you, but how did you have a son like Leng Hao? He is totally like something in the toilet; he is both stinky and hard. Dad, he bullies me quite often, and it is only because I have a good character that I am not being fussy with him for it. Where is he going to find such a beautiful young girl who is so forgiving? Dad, it is really your luck to have such a daughter-in-law like me!
Dad, I heard that you had been sleeping in bed the entire time. What is the difference between that and being dead? Dad, you should wake up quickly. Open your eyes to look at the world outside. It is extremely exciting and fun.
“Dad, I have something else to tell you. I have your son’s child inside my womb. It is your grandchild. I have decided to give birth to him, so you should not continue sleeping. Think about it. When your grandchild goes to kindergarten, his other small friends will ask him where his grandpa went to. He’ll say that his grandpa is in a vegtative state, and your grandchild will keep bringing small children over to come and visit you. Our home will turn into a museum, and Dad, you will turn into the exhibit…”
Ye Xiaotao was talking non stop. Leng Zhiyuan listened to what she was saying and could not help but laugh. She did not know what was inside the head of this silly girl.
Leng Zhiyuan shook her head and went downstairs.
…
Inside the base
“Major General!” Xiao Zhi looked at Zhou Yao and immediately saluted him.
Zhou Yao nodded his head.
“Major General, we have to conduct a thousand mile long run training today. This is…” Xiao Zhi reported the mission that they had to complete.
Zhou Yao waved his hand. He raised his head to look at the piercing sun that was up in the sky before he opened his palms and said, “Is the sun up today?”
“Yes, the sun is shining so brightly, Major General. Why are you asking this?” Xiao Zhi’s words came to a stop, and his expression changed drastically as he looked over at Zhou Yao and said, “Major General, you…”
Zhou Yao took his hand back calmly before he turned around and said, “Cancel the training today.”
Because he felt that he was having problems with his vision.
…
Outside the medical room, Zhou Yao sat on the long bench. His long legs were casually stretched outwards as he felt bored. He seemed to be nonchalant and careless. He squinted his narrow eyes as he had a look at Xiao Zhi in front of him. Xiao Zhi could not stop spinning around, and he was anxious as they waited for the results.
Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows and said, “Don’t spin around anymore. You are spinning so much that my head is spinning.”
“Major General, I am nervous. I am afraid. I do not know what the results of the blood test will be like. The unusual smell that you smelled during the chase in Bin Jiang Island on the boat, we do not have to guess to know that it would not have been something good, but in the past month or more, we have been doing several checks on your health. You are generally fine, so now why…”
Ever since his return from Bin Jiang Island, he was extremely strict on his own health, and in the past month or so, he did not feel uncomfortable at all, until this morning when he suddenly had a nosebleed.
He knew that his body was showing symptoms.
There was poison in the smell. If he did not guess wrong, this kind of poison had been hidden in his body the entire time.
And now that the poison suddenly came into effect, he would likely be gravely ill…
At this moment, the main doors of the lab opened. A doctor in a white lab coat removed his mask. He had a serious expression on his face as he stood by Zhou Yao’s side and said, “Major General, the results are in.”
Zhou Yao was still seated on the chair. He raised his head up to glance at the doctor and said, “Speak.”
“Major General, the situation is quite serious. There is a poison hidden inside your blood. For now, we still can’t explain what this kind of poison is. We need time to research it, but it is very obvious that this kind of poison has already spread through your blood. Major General, half of the blood in your body has already been infected.”
“What?” Xiao Zhi was so shocked that he was unable to speak.
Zhou Yao did not have an expression on his face. He raised his handsome eyebrows. It hadn’t even been four hours since his nosebleed, and half of the blood in his body had already died.
It was enough to show how quickly the poison spread in his body.
“How much time do you all need to research?” he asked directly.
The doctor shook his head and said, “Major General, this is a new kind of poison that has yet to be seen. We…do not have any confidence.”
The doctor did not know how much time he had left, how much time he had till all of the blood in his body was infected. Forget it, asking was akin to nothing.
Zhou Yao mocked himself as he curled the corners of his lips up, ever since the moment he came inside the base, he already prepared himself to sacrifice himself anytime, there were too many people by his side that left, because of their enemy’s bullets, from drugs, or from not being able to be saved from not having any medicine.. life and death was only just a moment in front of his eyes.
Actually he did not think too deeply about life and death, but Leng Zhiyuan’s small attractive face appeared in his mind. His firm features immediately became gentle.
But it was just that this gentleness was still mixed with deep sadness.
He really wanted to accompany her for the rest of their lives.
Forever.
“If all the blood in my body is infected with the poison, what will the effects be?”
“Major General, when your blood cells die, even the gods will be unable to save you,” the doctor answered.
…
Inside the villa, the sky was already dark, and the chef was preparing dinner.
Ye Xiaotao picked a flower vase. She placed some fresh roses that she’d plucked from the flower garden inside as she said, “Older Sister Leng, are the roses pretty?”
Roses?
Leng Zhiyuan thought of the roses that Zhou Yao had made into sugar-coated hawthorns on Chinese Valentine Day. A small smile that was on her face, and she stretched her hand out to touch the roses.
“Sii!” She took her hand back.
“Ah, Older Sister Leng, your finger is bleeding. I will go and get a bandage for you.”
The rose pierced her index finger just now, so her index finger was bleeding. She heard that bleeding was a bad omen, and she froze for a moment before she stretched her hand out to pull Ye Xiaotao back. “It is a small injury. You don’t have to get a bandage.”
“You really don’t need it?”
At this moment, the main doors of the villa opened up, the helper’s voice rang out in the air, as she said, “Son-in-law, you are back!”
Leng Zhiyuan turned her head back to look over quickly. A tall, handsome figure appeared in the foyer area. Zhou Yao was really back.
She took the tissue and wiped her finger hurriedly before she quickly ran over to his side. She looked at him and gently said, “Why did you come back so early tonight?”
