CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 283: SOMEONE TO CARE ABOUT

"Miss Ye, how are you?"

Ningwan was sent out through the back door of the imaging center, and as soon as Wu saw her, he immediately stepped forward to inquire.

"I’m fine."

Ningwan shook her head.

However, her face was still pale, not looking as if she was fine.

Qiao Yichen said, "Your face is quite pale, it’s better to see a doctor."

"I forgot, I’m the Divine Doctor myself. I’m fine, I just took some medicine for myself, and the pain is gone now," Ningwan said with a bitter smile.

In fact, she was raised around medicine since she was young, having long developed immunity to drugs.

Whether it’s poison or antidote, unless the effect of the medicine is maximized, she basically feels nothing.

To create the appearance of unbearable abdominal pain, she took quite a bit of poison, being ruthless to herself.

"You even took medicine for yourself? Can’t you just pretend?" Qiao Yichen said.

Ningwan shook her head, "Feng Jiuzun wouldn’t believe it."

"Alright, let’s hurry and leave here to see Wangyue. Wangyue was anxious to come rescue you herself, she’s almost worried to death," Qiao Yichen said.

At the mention of Wangyue’s name, Ningwan showed guilt, "I’m sorry."

"I told you, offer your apology directly to Wangyue," Qiao Yichen replied.

Ningwan nodded and left with them.

If Feng Jiuzun knew she was missing, he would certainly send someone to search, staying here is indeed not advisable.

She first went to the hospital to see Wangyue.

Wangyue had already woken up.

After waking, she grimaced with pain, but ate without delay.

Indeed, being a foodie, her recovery was faster than the average person.

Because she eats so much, her wounds heal faster than others.

Seeing Ningwan, she surprisingly struggled to get out of bed.

"Be careful, your wounds haven’t healed yet, how can you get out of bed?"

Qiao Yichen saw and immediately picked her up and put her back on the bed.

Wangyue blushed, holding his neck, softly saying, "Quickly put me down, Miss Ye is watching."

"What’s wrong with watching? She won’t say anything."

Wangyue blushed even more.

No one knows how she spent the past few days with Qiao Yichen.

In any case, there was an additional touch of girlish shyness.

Ningwan watched with both sighs and relief.

Sighing because the little girl finally grew up, no longer just thinking about food.

However, a grown-up girl will likely have more worries in the future.

The relief being that, fortunately, she was well and found her match.

"Can I talk with Wangyue alone?" Ningwan asked.

Qiao Yichen frowned, seemingly unwilling to leave.

Wangyue pushed him, "Miss Ye wants to talk to me alone, you go out first."

"Alright, but don’t talk for too long, your injuries haven’t healed," Qiao Yichen gently reminded.

Wangyue nodded with pursed lips.

Qiao Yichen left reluctantly, and Wu naturally followed them out.

Once the two left, Ningwan immediately apologized to Wangyue, "Wangyue, I’m sorry."

"Miss Ye, why are you apologizing to me?" Wangyue asked in surprise.

Ningwan said with guilt, "It was I who failed to protect you at that time, causing you to be hospitalized. Fortunately, you’re alright, if anything had happened to you, I..."

"Miss Ye," Wangyue said earnestly, "I’m your bodyguard, Young Master sent me to protect you, so I’m responsible for ensuring your safety, willing to go through fire and water for you. So you absolutely don’t need to apologize, it’s I who didn’t protect you, letting bad people take you, I failed my duty, if anyone needs to apologize, it’s me to you."

"You silly girl, you’re your own person, you don’t need to risk your life for others," Ningwan said.

Wangyue insisted, "That’s not right, I’m here to protect you, if anyone harms you, I’ll risk my life for you."

"But in the future, you’ll care about someone else too, and need to think for him. If anything happens to you, what would happen to him?" Ningwan said.

Wangyue blushed, shyly saying, "Miss Ye, you already figured it out?"

"It’s so obvious, if I couldn’t figure it out, I’d be a fool."

"Then Miss Ye, do you think I’m unworthy of Young Master Yichen?" Wangyue asked nervously.

Ningwan was surprised, "Wangyue, why do you think that? You’re so wonderful, you deserve anyone."

"But, Young Master Yichen is a young master, and I’m just an orphan adopted by the Xie Family, a little maid responsible for taking care of Young Master."

"But I see Xie Mingyu treating you as a sister, not as a little maid. Besides, what era are we in, what’s this little maid and young master nonsense? As long as Qiao Yichen likes you, and you like Qiao Yichen, you can be together."

"Miss Ye, you’re so wonderful, I really like you," Wangyue said, moved, hugging Ningwan.

"Alright, watch your wounds, take care of yourself, and don’t worry about anything else. Just enjoy Qiao Yichen’s care, and don’t worry about me," Ningwan said, patting her back.

Wangyue let go of her, "That’s not alright, I need to be by your side to protect you, I will recover soon."

"Just listen to me and take good care of your injuries. Also, I need to rescue Zhan Hanjue quickly. Li Qingqing is crazy, so I can’t wait for your recovery," Ningwan said with a solemn expression.

"But you definitely can’t do it alone," Wangyue said.

Ningwan replied, "I definitely can’t do it alone, so I need you to help me."

"Miss Ye, just let me know what you need, as long as I can do it, I’ll do my best," Wangyue immediately promised.

"Ask Qiao Yichen to find me some desperados, spend any amount necessary. But I can’t find them myself, this is Philadelphia, if I search, I’ll expose my whereabouts. So, I can only ask for Qiao Yichen’s help. But if I talk to him, he might not be willing. Helping with this might offend the Wan Family, but if you talk to him, it might be different, perhaps he would agree to help."

"We definitely need to help you, if I talk to him, he’ll surely help," Wangyue promised confidently.

"Wangyue, thank you!" Ningwan expressed sincere gratitude.

In this matter, she was indeed selfish.

But she had no choice, if she couldn’t find such people, she had no hope of rescuing Zhan Hanjue from Li Qingqing’s clutches.

And she didn’t have much time for careful planning.

If her guess was correct, the substance Feng Jiuzun had put in her food was probably obtained from Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing would certainly also give it to Zhan Hanjue.

The drugs wouldn’t harm the body, but would disturb the nerves. She didn’t know Li Qingqing’s next move, but doing this was definitely harmful to Zhan Hanjue.

Before any harm is done, she must quickly find Zhan Hanjue.

Indeed, Wangyue spoke up.

Though initially, Qiao Yichen disagreed, he couldn’t resist Wangyue’s pitiful gaze, and she even called him "Yichen."

Hearing this call, Qiao Yichen was almost overjoyed.

So, the final result could only be to agree.

"I really can’t handle you."
