Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2629: Chapter 2629: I Can Only Save Your Life

Will he really come back?

Jian Yufei bit her lip tightly with her pearl-like teeth.

The pale lips were soon bitten through, threading with blood.

The maid hurried to comfort her: "Miss Jiang, please don’t be upset. You’re making us all feel bad too."

"..."

"Mr. Ruan went on this risky venture to save us. We all hope he returns safely, and hope you can be safe too."

"Leave me alone, I want to be by myself for a while."

The maid not only didn’t leave but sat down beside her.

She picked up a bowl and spoke softly, "Will you have this bowl of porridge? If you eat it, I’ll leave."

Jian Yufei lowered her eyes and reached out to take the bowl.

She quickly finished the porridge, but the chicken soup porridge, usually tasty, tasted like nothing to her.

The maid was delighted seeing she had finished, "Let me help you lie down and rest."

Jian Yufei did not refuse. At this moment, she resembled a soulless puppet.

The maid helped her to bed, quietly exited the bedroom.

Not long after, Jian Yufei fell into a sleep, unaware of anything.

*********

In A City, Nangong Xu’s people went to the Ruan Family, only to find it deserted.

Not only were the Ruan Family members gone but even the servants had vanished.

The large old Ruan manor felt unsettlingly empty.

Nangong Xu’s people searched for a long time but couldn’t find anyone from the Ruan Family.

So they blew up the old Ruan manor.

They thought it would serve as a warning to the Ruan Family, urging them to show up soon, but still no one appeared.

But Nangong Xu couldn’t wait any longer.

His health was fine yesterday but sharply declined today.

Tomorrow, perhaps he would be dead...

Nangong Xu stood by the window, pressing his hand against the glass, his body emanating an aura of doom.

Behind him, a bodyguard walked in silently: "Boss, the Ghost Doctor is here."

Back then, he hadn’t killed the Ghost Doctor, but secretly imprisoned him.

Someone as talented as the Ghost Doctor might be useful someday.

And now he came in handy, but the results were still unknown.

Nangong Xu turned around: "Let him in."

"Yes."

The bodyguard retreated, and then the much thinner Ghost Doctor walked in.

"Mr. Nangong." The Ghost Doctor’s attitude was very respectful.

Nangong Xu looked at him coolly: "What were the findings? If you can cure me, I’ll give you anything you want."

The Ghost Doctor hesitated, afraid to speak.

Nangong Xu’s eyes darkened: "What, can’t cure it?"

"Mr. Nangong, if I may speak bluntly... With my current medical skills, I can only keep you alive..."

Nangong Xu was an incredibly smart man.

If the Ghost Doctor could keep him alive, he wouldn’t speak with such caution.

"And then?"

"Then... you’ll never wake up... your muscles will continue to atrophy..."

Before the Ghost Doctor could finish, he felt a strong hostility.

He was so frightened he didn’t dare breathe, afraid Nangong Xu would kill him right there.

Blood surged in Nangong Xu’s chest.

Suppressing the urge to vomit blood, he asked menacingly: "This is the only method you have?!"

The Ghost Doctor fell to his knees with a thud.

"Mr. Nangong, this is the best method. It’s not that my skills are lacking, but this is as far as I can get, unless there’s an antidote... But that antidote, I can’t develop..."

Saying this, the Ghost Doctor couldn’t help but marvel at Hua Zhongsheng’s medical skills.
