Qiao Wanwan pursed her lips and said, "Ruan Wanyi is looking for you. Did you agree to help Zhan Jingting with his treatment?"

“Of course not. I told her that my research is not finished yet, so there is no way to treat it.”

"is that so?"

"Wanwan, what do you think?"

Qiao Wanwan felt a pang of panic, but she remained calm. "Of course I believe what you say."

Lin Mo remained noncommittal. "It's getting late. You should get some rest. Goodnight."

Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone, her heart pounding with anxiety.

She didn't want to think in that direction because Lin Mo wasn't that kind of person in her heart, but for some reason, she still felt uneasy.

The next morning, Qiao Wanwan went straight to the hospital.

Lin Mo was sitting on the hospital bed eating breakfast when he looked up at her and smiled, "Wanwan, you're here."

Qiao Wanwan placed the fruit she was holding on the coffee table. "How are you feeling today?"

"I'm much better now. I could actually be discharged, but I wanted to take it easy, so I decided to stay a few more days." Lin Mo told the maid to clear away the tableware. "I guess I'll have to ask you to pay for my medical expenses."

“You were injured saving me, so it’s only right that I pay for your medical expenses.” Qiao Wanwan sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed. “Lin Mo, you have a way to save Zhan Jingting, right?”

"Although I know you came here today for him, you're a little too hasty." Lin Mo's smile remained unchanged. "Wanwan, you've only been in here for less than two minutes."

"I'm sorry," Qiao Wanwan didn't know what to say, "but I really want to know."

Lin Mo spoke slowly and deliberately, “It is said that the Zhan family started having problems with Zhan Jingting’s great-grandfather. He suddenly fell seriously ill and died mysteriously in the middle of his life. By the time it came to his grandfather, the situation was even more serious. You must have seen it from Zhan Jingting. Headaches would torment him. It is said to be a pain that feels like countless needles piercing his head, a pain that is worse than death.”

"The Zhan family is incredibly wealthy, with plenty of money to treat the illness, but they just can't find the cause. That's why Zhan Jingting's grandfather also died before the age of thirty. This makes the illness seem even more bizarre. The Zhan family has consulted every doctor they could find and tried every possible method, but they still can't escape it. Zhan Jingting's father had the same symptoms and the same fate. And now, it's Zhan Jingting's turn."

"That's why I said, Wanwan, you and Zhan Jingting are not from the same world. Falling in love with him will only bring you endless pain and torment, do you understand?"

Qiao Wanwan's fingertips trembled slightly. "I won't let him die. Medical conditions have improved now, and I will definitely find a way to save him."

“Of course there is a way.” Lin Mo smiled. “Zhan Jingting has an unparalleled medical team that specializes in studying his illness. They must have already come up with a way to extend his lifespan. However, the price behind it is not something that ordinary people can bear. It’s probably better to die.”

"You actually knew that?"

"Looks like you already know."

“I won’t let him prolong his life this way, Lin Mo. You have a better way to treat him, don’t you?”

"Yes." Lin Mo said frankly, "My grandfather and father spent their lives studying the illness of the Zhan family. I also wanted to fulfill their long-cherished wish, so I have been researching it and have indeed made a breakthrough."

"Tell me about it."

Lin Mo looked at her and said, "Wanwan, why do you think I would save him? Don't forget, he's my rival in love now."

Qiao Wanwan was taken aback. "Lin Mo, I don't think you would refuse to treat Zhan Jingting because of me."

"Wanwan, don't rush to flatter me. You don't know me, how do you know I'm not that kind of person?" Lin Mo smiled calmly. "I can only say that if I agree, it means you don't hold a significant place in my heart."

"Lin Mo, I..."

“Let me ask you,” Lin Mo interrupted her, “if I said that the condition for me to treat Zhan Jingting is that you leave him, would you be willing?”

"Lin Mo?" Qiao Wanwan looked at him in confusion. "You shouldn't be saying such things. In my eyes, you've always been a gentleman of impeccable character."

“Wanwan, I told you, don’t flatter me. I’ve never been a gentleman.”

Qiao Wanwan was speechless. After a long silence, she finally spoke, "Zhan Jingting was willing to endure physical pain and prolong his life for me. He was willing to give up his life to save me. I believe that in his heart, he loves me more than he loves himself. So I also believe that he will not leave me to save his own life. Therefore, Lin Mo, I cannot promise you that I will not separate from him, even if it means death."

Lin Mo closed his eyes, his gentle voice carrying a self-deprecating smile, "Wanwan, he's willing to risk his life for you, but haven't I done the same?"

"I am very grateful to you for saving me, but Lin Mo, I'm sorry."

"I understand." Lin Mo opened his eyes, the pain in them gone. "Wanwan, thank you for your honesty."

Qiao Wanwan stood up. "You get some rest. I'm leaving now."

"Wanwan!" Lin Mo called out to her, "I don't want you to hate me, so I'm willing to tell you my research results."

Qiao Wanwan was overjoyed, "Really?"

"I won't lie to you. I'll send the information to your email later. I hope it will be helpful to you."

"Thank you, Lin Mo. I will never forget your great kindness."

......

After leaving the hospital, Qiao Wanwan went to Imperial University to study.

"Qiao Wanwan, where did you go?" Zhan Yin sat down next to her. "You dared to skip Lao Yu's class this morning, you've got some nerve!"

"I've already asked for leave," Qiao Wanwan replied calmly.

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Did you have a fight with my uncle?"
