Chapter 184 I thought I would never see you again
Su Yingxue took a deep breath, turned to look at the third and fourth brothers, her eyes full of gratitude: "Third brother, fourth brother, thank you for always staying by Zhengchu's side. I will remember this kindness."
The third brother waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Our eldest brother is a friend we've risked our lives for, so helping him is the right thing to do."
The fourth brother nodded emphatically: "That's right, I'm willing to do anything for my eldest brother."
Su Yingxue seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at the third brother, and said with concern, "Third brother, I heard that A Qian is sick. Why don't you go back and visit her when you have time? I can take care of things here."
The third brother was slightly taken aback, then his eyes welled up with tears. He sniffed and said, "Sister-in-law, I remember what happened to A-Qian, but right now my eldest brother's life is hanging in the balance. How can I leave? I can give everything for my eldest brother."
The fourth brother chimed in, "Yes, sister-in-law, we brothers are bound by life and death. At this time, we absolutely cannot abandon our eldest brother."
Touched, Su Yingxue thanked him again: "It is Zhengchu's blessing to have brothers like you. Thank you for your hard work."
The third and fourth brothers exchanged a glance, their eyes dimming.
The two of them seemed to be saying that they would do anything to help Tan Zhengchu recover.
The hospital ward was deathly silent, with only the faint beeping of the medical equipment.
The third and fourth brothers stood in front of the hospital bed, their eyes fixed on Tan Zhengchu's bloodless face.
Tan Zhengchu remained lying quietly in bed, showing no signs of waking up.
The third brother frowned, his face full of worry.
Then he turned to Su Yingxue and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. Remember to tell me when the eldest brother wakes up. I have something to say to him, and there are many things I need to discuss with him."
The fourth brother chimed in, "Yes, sister-in-law, just let us know if anything happens."
Su Yingxue nodded gently, her eyes showing both exhaustion and gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I wake up."
The third and fourth brothers left with heavy steps, and the ward door slowly closed.
Only Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu remained in the ward.
The ward was eerily quiet at that moment.
Su Yingxue was filled with confusion, as if she were in a thick fog, unable to find her way.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, holding Tan Zhengchu's hands tightly, her heart churning with worry.
She knew all too well that Wei Hao, that bastard, held the antidote formula in his hands.
But he refused to hand it over no matter what, and even made threats, as if he wanted to die together with Tan Zhengchu.
Thinking of this, Su Yingxue became extremely anxious.
If Wei Hao is determined not to save them, they will truly be helpless.
Originally, she had been hoping that Lin Quan could pry the prescription out of Wei Hao.
But now it seems that this plan is likely to fall through.
Wei Hao's cold-blooded and insane appearance filled Su Yingxue with an unprecedented sense of despair, as if she were completely enveloped in darkness.
"No, we must find Wei Hao's weakness and force him to hand over the prescription!" Su Yingxue gritted her teeth.
She made a silent vow in her heart, her eyes shining with determination, believing that there must be a way.
Just as Su Yingxue was lost in thought, a slight noise suddenly came from the hospital bed.
She looked up abruptly and saw Tan Zhengchu's eyelids slowly trembling.
Then, those familiar eyes slowly opened.
Tan Zhengchu's powerless eyes revealed confusion.
He blinked, his voice weak as he murmured, "Am I... awake? Or am I dreaming again? Lately, my dreams and reality keep getting mixed up..."
Su Yingxue could hardly believe her eyes.
After a moment of stunned silence, she rushed over and hugged Tan Zhengchu.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled with sobs: "Zhengchu, you're really awake! It's not a dream, it's real!"
Tan Zhengchu instinctively hugged her tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline, his voice trembling: "Yingxue, I thought... I would never see you again."
Su Yingxue gently patted his back, comforting him, "Don't be afraid, Zhengchu, it's good that you're awake. We will definitely catch Weihao, and you will recover soon."
Tan Zhengchu held her even tighter, as if she would disappear if he let go, and pleaded, "Yingxue, promise me, don't leave me again, okay? I'm not afraid of death, but I'm willing to die before I can see you."
Su Yingxue's eyes reddened, and she nodded repeatedly, softly agreeing, "I won't leave, Zhengchu. I'll stay here with you, and always stay with you."
Tan Zhengchu felt slightly relieved, but the fear and reluctance in his eyes had not yet faded.
He knew in his heart that his thoughts might be a little ridiculous; how could a grown man be so afraid of being separated from his lover?
But after teetering on the brink of death, he truly realized that Su Yingxue and the seven babies were the people he could never let go of in his life.
Su Yingxue's promise was like a ray of light, piercing through the darkness and bringing a glimmer of hope to Tan Zhengchu.
This also rekindled his fighting spirit, and he was determined to overcome the illness so that he could stay with them for a long time.
Meanwhile, Su Yingxue became even more determined to find Wei Hao's weakness and save Tan Zhengchu.
Inside the hospital ward, the lights were dim and yellow, as if the heavy atmosphere had also suffocated them.
Lin Quan walked in quietly, and what came into view was the scene of Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue embracing each other closely.
Lin Quan's heart clenched suddenly, his emotions a jumble of complex feelings, like a bottle of mixed flavors had been spilled.
He had just returned from that "interrogation room," where he had gone to great lengths to force Wei Hao to hand over the antidote.
But Wei Hao was like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard, refusing to utter a single word.
He remembered that when Wei Hao confronted him, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of madness.
"Haha, you want me to hand over the antidote? Dream on! I'm taking Tan Zhengchu to hell with me!"
As he said this, Wei Hao burst into uncontrollable laughter, as if he had gone mad.
Lin Quan rushed up and punched him twice.
However, all of this was to no avail.
No matter how much he was punched, kicked, or tortured, Wei Hao refused to reveal the whereabouts of the antidote.
Looking at the loving couple in front of him, Lin Quan felt both envious and worried.
He thought to himself, Tan Zhengchu used to be so spirited and ambitious.
But now he is being tormented by the virus and his health is deteriorating, which is really heartbreaking.
This heartache was like a sharp knife, cutting straight into his heart.
When Su Yingxue looked up and saw Lin Quan, she felt as if she had grasped a lifeline and hurriedly got up.
She strode up to him and asked anxiously, "Lin Quan, how is it? Has Wei Hao agreed to hand over the antidote formula?"
Lin Quan looked at Su Yingxue and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing that there was no result, Su Yingxue's eyes were already red.
She turned back to look at Tan Zhengchu, her voice choked with emotion, "I feel that Zhengchu's health is getting worse and worse. He's lost a lot of weight, his strength has diminished, and even his voice is so low and weak. What can we do? I'm so afraid he won't live to see the antidote..."
