Chapter 19 was entirely her responsibility.
Xia Yuhuan didn't expect to get a response from He Xiaojie.
Unexpectedly, he stared at her for a long time, then nodded slightly.
A smile immediately welled up in Xia Yuhuan's eyes, feeling that her decision to make French fries was incredibly wise.
Sure enough, kids love to eat these things, which brings us a little closer!
He Xiaojie is a very patient child.
He waited the same amount of time Xia Yuhuan fried the fries, without showing the slightest impatience.
His gaze darted back and forth between Xia Yuhuan and the pot of French fries, his eyes filled with curiosity.
After frying the fries, Xia Yuhuan carried the plate outside.
Without needing her to call out, He Xiaojie automatically took small steps and followed Xia Yuhuan at a short distance.
Xia Yuhuan placed the fries on the coffee table, and He Xiaojie sat obediently on the sofa, staring at them without reaching out to take them. He just looked at them longingly, his eyes full of desire.
Looking at her, her heart softened, and she said softly, "Eat if you want, but be careful it's hot."
Upon hearing this, He Xiaojie tentatively reached out and took one, then began to eat it in small bites.
The fries were a bit hot, and he was eating them while hissing and panting, but he couldn't bear to spit them out, which made Xia Yuhuan both laugh and cry.
"They're all yours, no one's going to take them from you. Don't rush, be careful not to get burned," Xia Yuhuan said worriedly.
He Xiaojie didn't say anything, and Xia Yuhuan was worried that he would burn himself, but he didn't know to utter a sound.
Xia Yuhuan watched him eat two sticks and asked, "Is it good? If it is, I'll make it for you again next time."
He Xiaojie nodded without hesitation.
Xia Yuhuan was completely charmed by his little face, which kept nodding.
When Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya came out of the study, they saw Xia Yuhuan looking at He Xiaojie with a smile in her eyes, while He Xiaojie sat obediently eating.
The two exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat surprised.
They didn't expect that in such a short time, Xia Yuhuan and He Xiaojie would grow closer and establish a relatively peaceful relationship.
You know, it took them quite a while to get a little closer to He Xiaojie when they first brought him back.
The two observed each other silently for a while before Zhang Xianya finally called out to Xia Yuhuan.
"Xiao Huan, come here for a second."
"Hey, here I am."
Xia Yuhuan followed the two elders into the study and took the initiative to ask them, "Mom and Dad, what did you want to see me about?"
"I just told your dad about Yan Zhou's poisoning. Your dad wants to find a doctor from the military to confirm it again..."
As Zhang Xianya spoke, she quickly added, "Xiao Huan, don't misunderstand. It's not that we don't believe in your medical skills, we just want to be more cautious."
"Sure, you can ask someone to come and take a look. It's not a bad thing to have someone confirm it," Xia Yuhuan said nonchalantly.
Zhang Xianya quickly grabbed Xia Yuhuan's hand, "Xiaohuan, don't be angry. Your dad just wants to find out what kind of poison Yan Zhou was poisoned with. If he really was poisoned at this critical moment, it's a big deal."
Xia Yuhuan naturally understood this principle.
Chi Yanzhou was an outstanding young officer in the military, whose individual combat ability and team command ability far surpassed those of his peers.
He is no less capable than officers of higher rank and older age, and is an outstanding young officer talent that the military focuses on cultivating.
Such a pillar of the nation was poisoned before his injuries had healed after carrying out an important secret mission. There must be more to this story than meets the eye.
Xia Yuhuan had previously thought that this kind of thing involved too many people and was not suitable for an ordinary person like her to get involved. She thought she would wait until Chi Yanzhou woke up and let him investigate on his own.
It would be even better if Chi Shaokang were willing to get involved in the investigation now.
If Chi Shaokang had figured this out before Chi Yanzhou woke up, it would have saved Chi Yanzhou a lot of trouble.
"Mom, I understand. You don't need to explain to me. I'm not angry, really."
“Chi Yanzhou is your child. You only want the best for him and would never harm him. So you can give him all the necessary examinations and treatments. Even if you want me to withdraw from his treatment, I have no objection.”
Xia Yuhuan looked very serious.
The reason she was willing to treat Chi Yanzhou was twofold: firstly, after she transmigrated, she used Chi Yanzhou's influence to break away from the Xia family, and she owed Chi Yanzhou a favor that she had to repay.
Secondly, she has a biased view of soldiers who defend their country.
Chi Yanzhou was on a secret mission when this happened. He was a combatant active on the covert front. If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have known he was poisoned.
But now that she knows, she can't just sit idly by. Even if Chi Yanzhou is only slightly poisoned, or even if he's on the verge of death, she'll find a way to get him back.
She has her own ideas and principles.
Of course, if Zhang Xianya and Chi Shaokang could find someone else to treat Chi Yanzhou, she would be happy to have an easier time.
Zhang Xianya held Xia Yuhuan's hand tightly and said softly, "Xiaohuan, the main reason for reporting this to the military is to confirm the authenticity of the poisoning. If Yanzhou is indeed poisoned, I hope you will take full charge of his treatment. I don't trust anyone else."
Xia Yuhuan was taken aback upon hearing this.
She never expected Zhang Xianya to say such a thing.
But her unreserved trust also moved Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan nodded gently: "Okay, Mom. As long as you are willing to believe me, I will definitely do my best to cure him."
After obtaining Xia Yuhuan's consent, Chi Shaokang secretly arranged for people from the military hospital to come and draw blood from Chi Yanzhou to test for toxicity.
With Chi Shaokang's intervention, the results were quickly obtained.
Chi Yanzhou was indeed poisoned.
Although the detected toxicity is very weak, it can indeed be fatal if it accumulates over a long period of time.
Moreover, the poison in Chi Yanzhou was a new type of toxin. The military hospital could detect the toxin, but had no way to detoxify or treat it.
After receiving the test results, Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya immediately contacted Xia Yuhuan.
"Xiao Huan, the test results are in. It's true, just as you said, you've been poisoned, though the toxicity is weak," Chi Shaokang said in a deep voice.
Zhang Xianya held Xia Yuhuan's hand, her eyes red-rimmed.
"Xiao Huan, thank you. If it weren't for you, and things had continued like this, Yan Zhou might really be beyond saving. I..."
Zhang Xianya couldn't help but think of what Xia Yuhuan had said before, that Chi Yanzhou would die of organ failure in two years, and her heart turned cold.
Xia Yuhuan quickly reached out and gently patted Zhang Xianya's hand, soothing her softly, "Mom, don't be afraid. I'm here now. With me here, Chi Yanzhou will be fine. Don't worry."
"Xiao Huan, I'm entrusting Yan Zhou's future treatment to you. Just tell me what you need, and I'll try my best to get it for you," Zhang Xianya said solemnly.
"Okay, don't worry, I'm here," Xia Yuhuan said hurriedly.
At this moment, Chi Shaokang said, "Xiao Huan, if there is anything you need me to do, just let me know, and I will do my best."
Xia Yuhuan wanted to say that she didn't have anything to help with.
Before she could finish speaking, she changed the subject: "Anything you can help me with? I do have a tricky problem that I'd like to ask for your help with."
